RTM08 205 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I hope we've moved on from Kipre tbh. This is dragging on way too long and he clearly doesn't want to be here, so move on to the next target. TM will be rubbing his hands together about having his excuses about why we still have no defenders 18 months after "Defenders are coming". If we end up with JRC-Lenihan-Wharton-Bell against Bournemouth questions really need to be asked about what on earth is happening behind the scenes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure he will be rubbing his hands together, more blazing if he doesn’t get them in. Personally think he will get his 2 centre backs and a left back,anymore a bonus.

We can mostly appreciate that we have a budget and getting good players isnt particularly easy and there's not a lot we can do if a Premier League club decides to come in for a player we are after. But there comes a stage where we have to wonder if there is a bigger issue with being too selective or slow in our processes. End of the day 18 months on from Mowbray's defenders speech to have still not signed one suggests there is a problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites

unleaded 718 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 WBA must be skint to have so called talks with a player they signing from a even more of a club .. clubs just have levels of payment .. go in they offer a level and you take it or leave it . Probably end up back in the championship this time next year .... but with a bigger bank balance ... don’t blame him really .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bit of a sinking feeling for me if we don't get Kipre. I think it'd be a missed opportunity. £900k would have been a bargain for him - helped by the fact that he's leaving under a club in administration. If we can't entice him with a wage packet that offsets the low transfer fee, then it's fairly clear that we're strapped for cash, and worried about FFP for future seasons (thanks to certain transfers made in the past couple of summers, I imagine). Still, Sarr would be a good signing to make, but again, wondering how difficult it might be for us to reach an agreement on wages. Mowbray said in the last summer or two that free agents tend to demand a much higher salary on the basis that they have no transfer fee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Surely there must be other players out there ? I suppose he could keep Dack company on the road back to full fitness. Nyambe is prone to muscle type injuries, Lenihan usually has a month out with a knock or a suspension. Williams rarely goes for too long without picking up some mystery injury. Then you have Evans and Holtby who if you're lucky might play 46 games between them. Up front Chapman is another one just coming back from a serious injury. I'd rather sign a player that is 100%fit and ready for action when we sign him and make some space in the treatment room.

Crimpshrine 1124 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I think we all know what positions we need to strengthen but I think we also need to get some leaders on the pitch. We are woefully lacking characters. Danny Graham didn't play that often but he had a presence which I think encouraged others and certainly brought the best out of Dack. With him gone who's left? Travis is a battler but doesn't really have leadership qualities just yet. Won't be a popular suggestion but I'd go for Sam Morsy if Wigan are offloading. May not fill one of our problem positions but just what we need in terms of character. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vilesinner 348 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 2 hours ago, JoeH said: And I think it's time there was a general discussion about Darragh Lenihan. At centre-back you can get away with a lot because not everyone can see the mistakes you're making. Lenihan struggles big time with his in-the-box positioning. Take this goal vs Reading. Lenihan completely out of position, Obita can run into the grand open space left by Nyambe who's attempting to cover the lack of an RCB, he can cross to the open lad who Lenihan should be with, or he can aim further for the two lads who've doubled up on Hayden Carter due to Lenihan's absence. Goal ensued. Or here more recently against Doncaster where number 11 and number 9 just 14 seconds into the game were given all of this space in the box, Lenihan is so deep that they can all arrive into the box, Bell is busy marking 26 and it leaves two players completely unmarked. Against a Championship side we'd have been 1-0 down here. And this is a little more general, but an issue with our defence in general, including Lenihan, is a lack of urgency to get out when the ball is cleared. Bell plays a shit ball out to their man on the edge and the line meanders out towards the ball carrier. Leaves the shot, and three open players unmarked in the box for him to choose from. Goal ensues. I believe we conceded least goals from corners last season; lenihan will do for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
