A final 10 mins close down game signing. Would be concerned if it was a preemptive signing, eg departure of kenny or gibbs or indicator that lungis injury is more serious than expected. Hes a much better player than Sorensen. And Sorensen seems to spend just as much time out injured! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe ship McCallum out on loan or sell? That would leave us with one specialist left back. I'd much rather move on the emergency utility player rather than the main backup.

Thirsty Lizard 3,183 Posted August 26, 2023 Kind of ironic that after all the Sargent/McLean off to Leeds nonsense that we've signed a player from them. Maybe this is a sign that Webber has had a change of heart and is going to stay here after all.............................................. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A very shrewd signing, gives us options in defensive midfield and another experienced head. Great stuff 👍 Fair play to you for owning it mate. A good experienced signing indeed!

Capt. Pants 4,277 Posted August 26, 2023 Decent signing as a freebie! One thing for certain if he can stand a David Wagner training regime then actually playing will be a doddle! Not sure what this says about Wagner's confidence in Sorensen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobJames 891 Posted August 26, 2023 The path has clearly been marked, if it wasn't before. Round up a 'magnificent seven' type of experience and give it a real good shot at getting promoted. One job, get promoted/win the title. Meanwhile, we saw the future last night with another (not quite) magnificent seven playing for the U21s. It promises to be one helluva season, so hold tight folks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazzaJet 256 Posted August 26, 2023 Another player with good PL experience. The only issue is his injury record, but I think signing him on a one year deal with the option of extension is the ideal contract for a player of his kind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hayden was bought in in the hope that he'd become a 40+ start a season player. Forshaw looks more a squad player. That said, if he stays fit I wouldn't be surprised if he stakes a claim for McLean's position. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,571 Posted August 26, 2023 Being a scouser isn’t just about coming from Merseyside, in the same way as coming from London doesn’t make you a cockney. I live on The Wirral which is in Merseyside but people from Liverpool call people from The Wirral ‘Woolybacks’. I doubt that Kieran Dowell considers himself a scouser. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwearyCanary 1,179 Posted August 26, 2023 If Barnes can enhance the skills of Sargent and Idah and Duffy likewise for Omo then Forshaw could well bring more to us than hud actual minutes on the pitch. Players like Gibbs and Nunez can take advantage of his experience and look to add it to their game. It’s all well and good trying to coach this into someone’s game, but having someone show you first hand is better for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife is a proper scouser (or was, not lived there for 30+ years). She calls The Wirral “over the water”, which makes me laugh, sounds like the US or at the best Ireland. Not somewhere you can get to on the bus in 20 minutes. Having said that, Dowell sounds like a scouser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
