We need a third (second?) keeper and I imagine he is looking for a Championship-level streetwise striker and ditto central defender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we need experenced Championship keepers, Darren Randolph and Keiren Westwood are decent shouts, pretty sure we could afford their wages too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t specify a Championship-level keeper, although that would be nice. At the moment we have only Krul, McGovern and Oxborough. I know nothing about the latter, but his career so far doesn’t seem to suggest he would be adequate cover, and ditto now for McGovern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desert_Fox_2 6 Posted August 1, 2020 2 hours ago, vlad666 said: Mike van der Hoorn Maybe?? Really good shout. 6 foot 3 inches and in his prime. More importantly, I think he is now out of contract so would be free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randolph is a gret shot stopper but is uncomfortable playing the ball out with his feet. Someone on another post or forum mentioned ron robert zieler from Hannover 96, who we were apparently sniffing around last summer. German international said to be wanting a move and counts as homegrown because he was a youth in England. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very odd you should mention him as a friend literally said to me an hour or so ago that we were potentially signing him. I have no reason to believe said friend would have any inside knowledge so I'm not sure what he was basing it on! But there ya go.

KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted August 1, 2020 He's available on a free and a good championship level ball playing defender, experienced but not over the hill, can see why he's being linked. He also spent a good chunk of last season injured so he'd fit in well. That being said I can see him being in demand, I doubt we'd want to spend that big on his contract.

Branston Pickle 3,656 Posted August 1, 2020 Injuries can happen to any player at any time, but if it’s a recent bigger one involving surgery (as with van der Hoorn) you’d want to be absolutely sure he’s clear of it with a very busy season coming up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,820 Posted August 1, 2020 1 minute ago, Desert_Fox_2 said: Farke's recent interview suggested that we are taregtting proven Championship experience Carter-Vickers has played 92 games at this level. I remember putting his name forward a few weeks ago when someone mentioned the idea of Spurs offering players in part-exchange for Aarons. He certainly fits the profile, but is he actually that good? He seems to get moved around quite a lot and his five Championship loans don't ever seem to be steps forward. Is he another Godfrey, in the sense that he's good physically and technically but struggles defensively? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bovril 219 Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) No links or stories but rather just a personal opinion of a player that could well fit... Shane Duffy (Brighton) - 28 years old - Centre Defender On the back of Farke's latest interview stating that we had now finished our young player recruitment and would now be focusing on 'experienced' players, think Duffy could fit the mold very well. Brighton have just bought another centre-back (highly rated Ajax player Joel Veltman) with Brighton thought to now be willing to off-load Duffy. He's tall and strong in the air, plenty of experience both domestically and internationally and in his prime years. I reckon he would be available for a similar fee to what we paid for Hanley (around £2.5-3.5m). Edit: After further research, he also played alongside Hanley at Blackburn between 2014-2016.

Bovril 219 Posted August 2, 2020 Wages could definitely be a stumbling block (although every player is different in terms of how badly they want first-team football and a guaranteed wage rise upon promotion the following season could be enough of an attraction?)
