I think he could do with a loan to compete with men, especially in the air. He's had it to easy with the U23 where he can outmuscle and outrun his peers. Joe Garner and Steven Fletcher dominated him quite easily in the games he played for the seniors. A year on loan learning to play the position and compete, and we probably have a machine on our hands. Quickest player in the squad as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophox Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Wonder if TM plans to play: Goalie Lenihan Mulgrew Williams Nyambe and Bell on the wings Johnson and Travis in middle Dack and Rothwell behind Graham 3-5-2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being paranoid. It's completely valid apprehension to have. I know from experience. I will let you know when it happens again, just to show I'm not being "paranoid". But early to be smoking anything at this hour of the day! Ya, he did look raw, but I don't think every player must go on loan to league 1 or 2 between making the transition from under 23s to the first team. What about Wharton then? He has done the loan thing now. If he ain't ready for the first team, when will he be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows our priority needs. Nothing against Gallagher coming in if we can afford all 3 but if we can't then surely he would be the wrong choice. Yup Id rather survive with Brereton, Armstrong and Nuttall as back ups and have a decent defence, than have Gallagher who will struggle to start regularly and a mess of a defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be 4-2-3-1 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebruce Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/tom-white-joins-blackburn-rovers-458010 This article says the fee was 5-figure (not 6 as I thought I read before) so it really might be peanuts. Sell-on clause too. It also says Gateshead could have an option on loaning our youth players. I assume that would be our lesser lights or very young players, as it's not a particularly great testing ground with the league they operate in.

What wouldn't be great is a strategy based on him stepping up instead of getting an experienced CB. Even if he's looking terrific in training. Surely you see that?

A Bury supporting pal of mine was not impressed with Wharton during his loan spell there. Not a great deal to go on admittedly but I trust his judgement.

G Somerset Rover Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) We conceded the most away goals in the football league - we need a commanding, no nonsense CB. From what I’ve seen of him Magloire isn’t that man. Really is some dumbing down going on right now. Folk have gone from wanting two centre halves in to saying Magloire could be the answer (certainly on Twitter at least). Edited July 10, 2019 by Gavlar Somerset Rover!

I think that Rothwell is one of our standout players, and starts in our best 11. Surely that counts as something? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) As we've seen with Raya countless times and Nyambe and Lenihen young lads in defence learning their trade make mistakes and complete cock ups and it costs. it's to be expected of course. That's why there is clamour for experienced defensive reinforcements and that's why it would be wrong to expect Magloire to just step up and solve the problems. There's a whole two seasons process to go through for these lads and yes we want them in but relying on them as regulars will inevitably cost the team so a loan spell would be best in the long run. Do we want to just blood youngsters and sell them on whilst sitting in the middle of the division comfortably lining peoples pockets with little pressure or do we want to kick on ?

Sounds like someone's trying to get us to commit to a higher fee. Be patient at that price, if Brentford want to pay it then good luck to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
