Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Delap could be tomorrow, I believe.

An anagram of Liam Delap is Plaid Male, strangely curious on the day a “leaked” picture of the new funky kit is published.

We are being sent the clues, we just need to put it all together

[Vegas Claret]

No updates on anyone today, been a quiet one

thought as much, easy to miss stuff so thought I' ask, cheers RV

[TickTock]

Where did you hear that?

[KRBFC]

You are correct that we conceded far too many down that flank, inc. all 3 goals that cost us 5 points in our first two home games. They were not necessarily down to Charlie. Far too often he became the third CB and allowed a MF or Dwight to be the FB. I’ve played holy hell about this on here regularly. The only defender I want to see against a tricky wide man is our FB. Lowton and Taylor are excellent defensively and well off PL quality attacking. It could end up that neither off them start this year but we live in interesting times.

I like Taylor he's been very good in his time here, I think he'd admit himself he wasn't good last season. Raphina in that Leeds home game spun him inside out, literally had Taylor on all 4s, then cuts inside and the balls in the net with 30 seconds to go and we've dropped 2 points. Looking at Maatsen (our new signing) (who I'm discussing on a transfer thread), Taylor will have serious competition.

[Iloveyoubrady]

Anyone think that if we are going 5 across the back, Taylor may be used as a centre back in the mould of say Kyle walker. Great recovery pace and last ditch challenger. Would do that job really well at this level with a more technical attacking wing back in the wide position.
Then again I have absolutely no idea what formation or tactics VK will play here so it is purely guessing.

[Vegas Claret]

no idea if this will have any consequence for our reported interest of Muric but Zach Steffen is about to join Boro from City on loan

Are you sure Taylor was playing in that one?

Just checking

Steffen has been linked with Middlesbrough for a few weeks, they also let Bazunu go to Southampton. If we get Muric not sure of the keeper situation at City apart from Ederson, is Carson still there?

He was generally good before Christmas and at times along with Lowton our best player. He was good at ER at the turn of the year keeping Raphinha very quiet. The home game v Leeds he was also very good until he slips/ clips his own foot as Raph turns him. That goal still should have been defended better by others too. Also the Newcastle second goal, which he is getting pellets for not being fast enough to catch up to Callum Wilson who has considerable a head start on him and is quicker than him (he can’t make himself faster). Kevin Long and Collins are far more culpable for that goal. Like with all our players be it Taylor, Brownhill or others people tend to hang on to the bad performances and very quickly a few suddenly become a whole season. I’m not saying he was great all year but he certainly wasn’t our worst and we will realise when he’s gone that we have lost an excellent solid full back.

yes Carson is there but no idea if he's still registered as a player

we conceded 8 goals in our first 4 games, most of them down Taylor's side.

2/2 at home to Brighton, both crossed from his side.
1/1 home to Leeds Raphina toasts him
1/2 at Liverpool is created from that side.
2/3 away at Everton down his side, first one a cross from his side, 2nd one Townsend (his man) cuts inside and Taylor lets him shoot, 3rd one is down his side but harsh to blame him, simple pass from higher up the pitch.


Someone above mentioned Man City both came from that side. That horrific half time collapse at home to Chelsea 4-0, I'm pretty sure all 4 came from his side, Reece James had Taylor on his hands and knees backed up into the penalty area, as good as I've seen James ever play.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Don’t want to get involved really but both goals Brighton scored were due to McNeil not tracking back properly

Whilst you are absolutely correct it doesn’t fit the narrative that’s being peddled though unfortunately .

I keep seeing down the left side. James was a wing back, Chelsea played 3-4-3 so Taylor’s man wasn’t James but again that doesn’t fit the narrative. Taylor pocketed Raphinha for all but a very unfortunate little flick of a foot causing a slip, go back and watch it. The Liverpool goal on that side had Taylor up against Salah and Elliott who drifted from central out wide almost all game. But as I say it’s easy to sweepingly blame Taylor taht actually watch what’s going on. Ben Mee played left centre back should he be blamed for all this down the left stuff too??? Oh and Dwight.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

I would guess a little blue bird.

You are quite right, this is for transfers not general debate… my apologies, though I don’t have any

Charlie Taylor linked to West Ham

Delap would be a brilliant signing, the boy has everything.

Charlie Taylor linked to West Ham

Yeah I can see that having a chance to be fair.

How much do you think we can get for him? 10m?

[Joe Claret]

Any updates on Callum O’hare

[summitclaret]

Don’t want to get involved really but both goals Brighton scored were due to McNeil not tracking back properly

As I remember it it was the usual failure to use subs when McNeil was tired. Win that and then Leeds at home and we would have stayed up imo. But hey ho.

[HahaYeah]

Burnley‘s pursuit of Coventry City attacking midfielder Callum O’Hare could be about to have a positive conclusion, with TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook claiming that things are progressing in the Clarets’ attempt to bring him to Turf Moor.

I would be surprised-numerous articles recently about the interest in Brownhill, McNeil, Cornet and now Taylor. Our prize jewels have already gone, the remainder with maybe the exception of Cornet ,are not going to have clubs queing up

[warksclaret]

I guess that VK will want to tie down any new arrivals prior to the team flying off to Portugal for pre season camp, so hopefully we might see a name or two join us before early next week ??

[JR1882]

They have signed Stefan Ortega from Bielefeld, an upgrade on Steffen for sure, he’s been courted by Bayern for a while as Neuers backup but ended up at City now.

[Rileybobs]

As I remember it it was the usual failure to use subs when McNeil was tired. Win that and then Leeds at home and we would have stayed up imo. But hey ho.

The Brighton result would have been inconsequential had we not conceded that late equaliser at home to Leeds. Gutting when you can pinpoint the outcome of the season down to such a trivial moment.

[tiger76]

Yeah I can see that having a chance to be fair.

Charlie still has 2 years remaining, so we should be looking at around £10m, which if we get Maatsen on loan, and Dodgson penning a new contract, leaves us with 2 left-backs, admittedly both inexperienced, but that applies to most of the side now.

[Somethingfishy]

Anyone else read that as Brierfield the first time or just me? Speed reading has its quirks

[Colburn_Claret]

As I remember it it was the usual failure to use subs when McNeil was tired. Win that and then Leeds at home and we would have stayed up imo. But hey ho.

I said at the time, if he'd brought Pieters on when we were still 1 up, we'd have won that.

[Colburn_Claret]

They're linked, if we hadn't blown it against Brighton we would have been confident and less pressured against Leeds. Win the first, and I believe we would have won both.

[ecc]

Certain posters are deliberately going of topic because it annoys other posters, me included, perhaps we should start a transfer thread!

Perhaps we should start a "total tool" thread.

[ecc]

FAO Bigvince: That wasn't aimed at you; it was intended to back you up. It's getting bloody tiresome on here.

[Taffy on the wing]

If you can find a team that has been promoted to the premier league without at least one experienced defender then please let us all know.

Gary Cahill has been mentioned (including by me) cos he is experienced, out of contract (and therefore relatively cheap with no transfer fee) and has played at an extremely high level for many years. And I only talked about giving him a one year deal.
Does not have to be Cahill but it’s a very risky approach to have as little experience in our defence as we may start the season with - especially if we lose Taylor.

Imagine........A World where nobody did anything because it hadn't been done before.

[Vegas Claret]

Huddersfield have signed Kyle Hudlin....6ft 9 striker from non league. God knows how you mark him at set pieces !

Crouch was 6.7… if we are being pedantic

If he's as good with his head as our last giant striker then with ease.

Daily mail reporting Forest have signed Hennessey. Surely we’ve got something lined up?

I mean…. £47k a week. I can see why it would be tempting to offload if there was interest. I love Charlie Taylor personally, but 28 with 2 years left and on such a wedge. I don’t think even I’d keep him

We do.

The article you link event names a keeper we are linked with and he’s not the only one.

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

I can't believe we're still on Charlie Taylor after all day yesterday the thread being locked.

[RVclaret]

I can't believe we're still on Charlie Taylor after all day yesterday the thread being locked.

To be fair a new link happened to come through late last night (West Ham) - the guy who broke it also was the first on the Pope to Newcastle move, so there might be something in it.

I think this article fails to consider the significant 45-50% wage cut he will have just had though.

[18MD82]

We do.

The Muric link has been there for weeks now, but with forest agreeing a deal you’d suspect a player in would be further down the line that it has been

Good point. But then his missus is hella ****** they’re down a 1 mill this year.

Works both ways I guess.

[Burnley1989]

I think this article fails to consider the significant 45-50% wage cut he will have just had though.

I’ve mentioned it before but some players won’t be hit in their first year, it’s usually the second season to try and make them stay for a year to get back up. The club still get decent parachute payments for the first year

[Burnley1989]

Was told at football last night by someone linked to city that it was done. Same guy who told me Sterling was joining Chelsea about a month ago
