Move Klose 303 Posted July 15, 2016 http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/690037/Norwich-Grant-Hanley-Newcastle-Sheffield-Wednesday-Championship-Transfer-Gossip-NewMaybe some truth in Martin to Brighton after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted July 15, 2016 We should sell Bassong to Brighton, at least Martin and Hanley play ok together when with Scotland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,660 Posted July 15, 2016 The report says Alan Irvine who was at Blackburn last season is the driving force in our interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted July 16, 2016 Not a bad shout, looks like we are being linked to various players alongside Newcastle - they were also mentioned in the link to the Swedish guy Helander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,095 Posted July 16, 2016 Ideal shot in the arm and would probably/certainly contribute to a much, much better defensive line-up than we started last season with that''s for sure.RM to Brighton for a couple or so, and may be Bertie on his bike for a similar price and quid for quid we won''t be much worse of financially (and likely better off wages-wise) and the defence would have a much more solid look to it.Ruddy, Pinto, Klose, Hanley, Olsson ..... Hmmmm.Bennett and Whittaker are decent back-up and Toffy should be capable of making some mark this coming season. I cannot really see where Stonewall Turner fits in, but he''ll likely be around should injuries take their toll.I am one of those who would happily accept £15m for Brady (although it needed the signing of Canos to make me stop mourning the loss of Redmond.)Brady is good, but he ''aint that good, IMO.As with everything, it''s not clear cut though.

pete 318 Posted July 16, 2016 Only fly in the ointment is GH left sided CB as he regularly plays with Martin who is definitely right sided. Klose left sided CB so defence may be unbalanced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 53 Posted July 16, 2016 Klose is actually right-footed, but is also comfortable playing on the left, so either Hanley or Helander would be a good fit as Bassong is our only left-footed CB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,660 Posted July 16, 2016 Apparently Owen Coyle is saying that Newcastle are the only club to have put in a bid for Hanley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted July 16, 2016 Things sure moving fast, now its said Blackburn have valued Hanley at 8 million. Also Alex commented Martin to Brighton is just rumour. Id rather try a 8 mill offer for Lees at Wednesday instead of Hanley, but hes so integral to them he would probably be valued higher than that now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted July 16, 2016 Be mad not to accept £15m for Brady. As for Hanley, I''d have him in our team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted July 16, 2016 He would compliment Klose so well as the ''stopper'' in our back line. Shame we''re not in for him, with Newcastle''s interest I suppose he''s out of our price range now in terms of wages. All the good CB''s in this league apart from Hanley are at our promotion rivals so I suppose we might end up looking at someone surplus to requirements at a Prem club. Any names? Jonas Olsson or Damien Delaney might be realistic and could do a decent job, but I''m struggling to think of anyone who''s a clear step up on Bassong/Martin/Bennett, we may have to take a risk and look abroad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,503 Posted July 17, 2016 Pretty slow, not the best on the ball....wont we just be getting another Ryan Bennett? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 17, 2016 Every single centre back we''ve got at the moment can either do the job at this level or excel at this level (obviously Klose is a marked step up), so would be really surprised if we need anymore CB''s in a championship season - surely AN will wait and see how things pan out over the next 10 months and then all being well add Premier League quality then?That said, I''d bid for Hanley just to wind up the arrogant Toon supporters though 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,660 Posted July 24, 2016 Not involved in the Newcastle friendly yesterday as Rafa is concerned about his fitness. I think we have had our fair share of getting players up to speed in recent times so a bullet dodged maybe ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
