Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[Commy]

Do you think Bastien is a replacement for Brownhill? Looking at his stats, he breaks up play, has 2.2 interceptions, has the energy but has over 80% successful pass completion. Seem very similar but for the end result.

[warksclaret]

Be great if we had another "Dean Marney" in Bastien. Guess we will learn after a few games

It's possible I suppose, and if selling Brownhill for a decent fee allows us to stretch the funds to recruit a striker who'll bag 20 in this league, that could be good business.

[Tricky Trevor]

it makes me think the width will be expected to come from Taylor and Roberts rather than a traditional ‘winger’ - pure guesswork by me though.

If this were to happen we would be falling in line with most of the top teams in Europe. A system that allows for 3 at the back or a holding MF dropping back to cover the FB and keep a 4. I would be delighted

If only. One of the best players of recent times.

[summitclaret]

Anything is better than having 2 slowish old fashioned strikers up top and being outnumbered in midfield. Then blaming the likes of Westy for everything.

Another John Deary will do!

He's been brought in to play the role Brownhill will fulfill, whether that's as competition or replacement remains to be seen. From what I've seen he's similar energy as Brownhill but more efficient and incisive with his passing. He is more lightweight, however, so it could take him time to adjust.

Interesting - could mean he still wants Cullen then to compete with Cork?

The one positive from Brian Laws tenure. I guess Lee Grant was a decent goalie too.Lets hope

Its the changes to midfield that are beginning to excite me. We had become very predictable , slow and lacking athleticism and creativity with Westwood/Brownhill and Cork

[claret5]

Hopefully a tad more accurate with his shooting

[clive40golf]

Whilst I loved the commitment that Marney applied to his Game, plus the 20mins per match that Deary contributed. I’m hoping that the players we’re signing/after, are somewhat superior to those two ‍. Plus the players we have in Cork,Westwood and Brownhill are also far ahead of those two players.

[Stockbrokerbelt]

Don’t think we are bringing in midfielders to replace ones so they can leave, VK will want a strong squad especially now that teams can use 5 subs, add in injuries & loss of form we will need a strong squad. Lets not forget our strong runs in both cups…..

Nottingham Forest take on our potential goalkeeper replacement. Not a good read!

This has been mentioned many times now. He was 19 at this time and he played 5 games for them. He’s since had a very impressive season in Turkey and been Kosovo’s number 1 for the past 2/3 years. Kompany is a huge fan and that’ll do for me.

[Colburn_Claret]

Owen Dodgson signed a new 3 year deal. VK must have authorised it so good news.

Corberan has just quit at Huddersfield, great timing for us.

Took a look at his stats from last season and they aren't too bad actually, compared alongside Nick Pope here.

Last Season for Arijanet Muric
1.17 Conceded Per 90 min'
26% Clean Sheets - 8/31 matches

Last Season for Nick Pope
1.25 Conceded - Per 90 min'
25% Clean Sheets - 9/36 matches

Big difference in standard obviously, but you'd wager the Turkish Super League is a similar if not slightly better standard than the Championship.

Providing nobody else leaves, we should have arguably the best back four in the league. I'd expect he'll do pretty well.

I was put off by what I'd seen of him previously, but the stats look okay for me.

[PictoPirate]

Probably means we're not looking for another left-back you'd think

[NewClaret]

Hitc (I know) are reporting Muleka is on £32k/w at Besiktas. And a 5 year deal.

Can only imagine that was the reason it broke down? Seems a lot of commitment for a Championship team.

[Firthy]

Cornet can cover as well

[Funkydrummer]

I'm so pleased that it's our turn have the upper hand in dealings with Forest.

Their past dealings with us have not been good, to put it mildly.

See how they like being strung along.

Must admit I’d drag it out as long as possible and then on the final day tell them we’ve decided to keep Hennessy; then get him to say he never really wanted to go there. It won’t happen but it would be a little bit of payback. I expect Forest fans to be on the level straight away for fan arrogance, be nice to give them the bird.

Wouldn't that be really nice ? Everything comes to he who waits.

[Robbo1882]

When will we try and sign Ross Barkley on loan

[Vegas Claret]

in other completely random unrelated to us news.... Wolves are loaning their 35 million quid Fabio Silva to Anderlecht ! Serious waste of money

[agreenwood]

That’s if they ever paid £35m.

All part of the Mendes web wasn’t it?

[NewClaret]

Paying his whole £4.1m salary! Let’s hope they need to shift a few out to afford him!

[andyh]

Hopefully a tad more accurate with his shooting

I spoke with Dean a couple of weeks back as we were picking our sons up from school and he admitted his shooting had been a little wayward at times.

Talk shote were saying last week, Wolves are in trouble.
They've lost a lot of stars, jiminez hasn't been the same since he came back, and the money has dried up.

So sad

That's good news. Wolves fans have been getting to big for their boots lets hope they are in a relegation struggle this season

He's 19 lol, I thought he was actually impressive against us, he looks to have a big future.

I hope not. I don't want too much competition for Leeds.

WHU are signing a midfielder from Swansea. Could cool their interest in Brownhill (if there ever was any)https://twitter.com/footyinsider247/sta ... HpcIA&s=19

Leeds have signed a replacement for Phillips as well. I’d like us to keep Brownhill.

Each to their own eh. I think he’d be quality in the Championship and in a different system. He’s obviously highly regarded by other managers in the premier league.

[FCBurnley]

Not from what I have seen on YouTube highlights

agree, if I came on here and said we've been linked with a free transfer of a 26 year old, here are some highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1q55iZUOlc everyone would be well up for it. I really hope we keep him

[Funkydrummer]

I like Brownhill,but I've not seen any of that shooting prowess whilst with us, not even
from a dead ball.

Maybe the last effort on the clip

[jojomk1]

Taking all attributes we would want from a central midfielder I would put Brownhill above Cork and Westwood

The average player ratings for last season backed that up

Brownhill 6.30, Cork 6.13, Westwood 5.58

[Funkydrummer]

Maybe the last effort on the clip

But I wasn't there though !!

[AwayClaret]

Have we been linked with a striker yet? Cba going through the thread
We really need a striker.

None since Muleka fell through.

[Vegas Claret]

Muleka confirmed at Besiktas an hour ago, supposed to be on 1 million per year

Thank you. It'll be interesting to see who we go for next.

[Woodleyclaret]

With the middle field players we have I am confident in our strikers Jay and Ash getting a bag full in the Championship and also we have Micheal Mellon to step up .

[Newcastleclaret93]

Downes has signed for West Ham. I suspect that ends there supposed interest in Brownhill
