Canary Wundaboy 1,349 Posted August 3, 2020 55 minutes ago, Yellow and Green said: Whilst he was criticised heavily whilst with ncfc previously, he may well suit Farke's style of play and ticks the 'experience' box that we are looking to add. Bennett for Godfrey? No Bennett for Klose? I'd probably take that. Pretty much my thoughts, he's an experienced centre back and I always thought he was underrated here. Especially when he ended up sidelined so Russ could be moved to CB, where he constantly underperformed and yet Benno never got a look back in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Greenthumb 742 Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Feedthewolf said: I don't think Bennett would be a very wise replacement for Godfrey. Assuming our other CBs stay, that would leave us with Klose (32), Bennett (30), Hanley (28) and Zimbo (27). Would rather we looked to sign a younger, up-and-coming centre back than a 30-year-old. Although if Klose leaves too, Bennett would be a more than decent replacement. Famewo and Bushiri are the up and coming centre backs ready for next season (2021-22) Edited August 3, 2020 by Dr Greenthumb 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly a replacement for Godfrey if he goes? As it says, if he's rated that highly, would he come to a Championship club? Although if our main competition for him really is Middlesborough, apparently our "Championship rivals", we should be ok. 😂 Edited August 4, 2020 by Nuff Said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest I'd prefer someone like Rob Dickie who would probably have an easier time adapting to the league and having a somewhat senior British member of the squad acting as a leader is what the young players need.

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 4, 2020 So the Independent (as reported on this site) reckon Liverpool are leading the chase for Lewis but are only willing to spend £10m - that’s got to be a bit of a laugh, if they are seriously interested it has to be more than that, surely.

Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) You wouldn't have seen Southampton selling a player of Jamal's potential to Liverpool for £10M! Clyne went for over £12M a few years back. Edited August 4, 2020 by Cantiaci Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) I guess a swap deal with this guy +£10m-£12m might be an option - Brentford are interested and can pick a good player. I don’t quite see why Max, Godfrey and Emi seem to be talked of as £20/£30m players but Jamal appears so much less.

Icecream Snow 761 Posted August 4, 2020 Webber's comments about going somewhere where you actually play, and don't just sit on the bench seem a lot more pertinent now.

curious yellow 184 Posted August 4, 2020 It makes me think some of these deals have been on the cards for a while. Farke spoke about coming back with a different set of players. I can't see us increasing the squad after relegation and we like to replace the outgoing players in advance. I can't see McCullum coming in as back-up when it was likely that he would be first choice in the same division. Perhaps we have been trying to up the price, this could stop the deals.

A Load of Squit 5,066 Posted August 5, 2020 From the reliable Sexy Bennett SexyBennett @SexyBennett1 ·13m I’ve been told initial fees won’t be as high as it is being predicting (mostly by fans to be fair) the club are pushing for substantial sell-on percentages instead.

Desert_Fox_2 6 Posted August 5, 2020 Whilst having a look at WACCOE to see if there are any Leeds rumours regarding Buendia, their interest in Ben Godfrey was cited by a local Leeds journalist. Apparently he is their back up choice if they cant get Ben White from Brighton. The interesting bit is that this journalist (Beren Cross) believes that Godfrey is on his way to Dortmund, presumably once they have sold Sancho for megabucks. I have no idea whether he has got this info from contacts at Leeds or indeed how reliable he is. Bethnal - have you heard anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We get in a load of cheap signings early on in the window and then the stories of big money outward moves slowly start to materialise and fans are more accepting of the departures as we "already have replacements" and don;t tend to focus so much on the disparity between what we've spent and what has been received Makes you wonder who is feeding these stories to the press at times and why we are "willing to listen" to offers. I expect similar stories to start breaking about the likes of Cantwell and Pukki soon. seems we are "willing to listen" to offers for any players provided they are high enough.
