Fosse Captain Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 He’s a leader. So that would be 2 back there now, so an improvement. Not sure I want him tho. If true, Mina And Keane are being shown the door surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Seems to be quite solid in the air but that's to be expected of a player in the Premier League playing at centre back. No outstanding qualities that make me excited, especially as I'd play both Mina and Godfrey ahead of him. For what we would pay it's a massive no from me, and with our financial issues I don't see how we afford him tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good leader, yes, but he's rubbish at his actual job. So I hope we don't get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Can only play in a three. If it’s him and Tarkowski then the other one would have to be Godfrey even if only for some pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I was gonna say I wouldn't mind this one. Seems to fit the mould of what we need and missed that season- reliable solid defender. In the sense of always being there, maybe not in talent. But I always say give me a reliable machine over an Aston Martin that never starts cos its always in the fuckin garage Seems to suit the type of player we're going after to make us dead 'ard.

Bailey Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 At least with Gana and Onana we would have two players capable of being able to go from our 6 yard box to their 18 yard box. Pickford will probably be more advanced than our defenders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Haf with these ITKs eh….. spoke to the person who told me and he never doubted the move… I did but seems we have had plans going back some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopp9987 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 If this comes through, surely we're going to be losing one of either Keane, Mina or Holgate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't lose any sleep losing any two of those. Preferably Mina to get him off the wage book.

c1982 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Hopefully Mina and Godfrey getting injured doesn’t change our plans of hopefully getting rid of Keane or Mina (probably not now if the injury is serious) if we sign Coady (which is looking very likely). We’ll be playing 3 at the back so it probably means Holgate will be okay with the experience of Coady and Tarkowski - Welsh may even be around the first team until Godfrey is back.

Gwlad Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I wish Godfrey and Mina well in their recovery but in all honesty are they an integral part of our side? Mina a sicknote and Godfrey unfortunately hasn't been the same player since he had covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I'd take Dorris from next door at centre back with the rate of injuries we are getting. Hopefully Coady surprises me and as a few said at the game yesterday, he's a natural leader which is exactly what we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that's another good move from Thelwell. It’s hard to know exactly what our constraints were and a lot of these haven’t played but, on paper, he and his people have done an exceptional job. This assumes we bring in a striker, as I’m sure we will. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like we are focusing on reliability and leadership in some of these deals. Gueye, Tark, Coady. Even the youth we have in Patterson, Myko, Amadou (according to his coaches) have some of that character in them. Even after the loss and the injuries I’m feeling pretty hopeful about the longterm.

Hafnia Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Looks like we have a huge boost in players with character Coady and tarkowski alone will snuff out any complacency and half arsed efforts within the side.
