Guy on twitter saying he’s heard Berge to wolves is pretty much a done deal

Guy on Twitter must be true , even though it’s not Twitter anymore.

Putting a crap link from twitter or X is still better than posters arguing if we are having a fire sale or not

His handful of appearances and goals playing on the left were in the third tier.

It's a hell of a record he's got from that position. Never seen him play so I've no idea but I definitely itely wouldn't be taking any conclusions that he's a centre forward from those stats.

Don't know anything about him other than the stats and hud profile, which certainly suggest he's primarily a centre forward.

Anyone got a mate who happens to support Caen?

C'est moi
Il est un faux numero neuf

Houdini sounds a good bet! Can get us out of any situation!

That’s not his name tho.

[willsclarets]

Players need to go, obviously. They key thing as much as who goes, is how quickly. Obviously would love to keep Berge and the likes of Odobert. But the last thing we need is a load of deals going through last minute

[warksclaret]

I think there will be a few swings and roundabouts in moving players on. Suspect some will be difficult to move on for a fair price ie Twine, Churlinov, Delcroix, Bastian, Obefemi. Then there will be the ones that clubs will chase us for I suspect ie Berge, Brownhill, Trafford, Odobert, Amdouini (probably from Europe) and even Foster

More out than in would be my guess.

The guy has 123 followers on X - doesn’t mean his ‘source’ is wrong though

Imagine how upset you would've been if we'd kept all of those players. You would've beat the club to a pulp for offering contracts to nearly all of them that weren't sold for good money

Would I really

[Gordaleman]

Tom Heaton has nothing to do after tonight. I wouldn't mind him back a'turf? Even if only as goalkeeper coach. Any takers?

Just signed a new deal at Utd, think his future career path has already been set up for him

But yeah, I'd have had him

Only a one year extension. They might let him leave if he wanted to? Depends on the money I suppose?

[NewClaret]

Tell you what, the posters wanting us to re-sign a 38 yo keeper are making me happy we’re not a fan-owned club.

[Gordaleman]

Not if those fans are like you, and know nothing about goalkeeper's longevity. He was good enough to play for Utd at least twice last season.

I did also say "If only as goalkeeping coach."

[Passing Clouds]

Be interested to know how you know Benson doesn’t have the attributes for the prem?

In my opinion the physicality, trackbackability or temperament of a modern Prem winger. We didn’t get the chance to see though which would have been nice …

[Mattster]

Apparently offered Hladky a 2 year deal, presumably to be our number 1, but he may prefer a move home to Czechia

https://x.com/MichalKvasnica/status/181 ... qoDig&s=19

[claretonthecoast1882]

Begovic as the number 2

[Woodleyclaret]

I don't see this obsession with tracking back why not keep wide men up and use them as an outlet not the nonsense passing Ricelike across and back.

To replace Vignour

[Mattster]

To replace Vignour

No chance he turns down a contract extension at Ipswich in the PL because he wants to continue to be a number 1 to then accept being 2nd/3rd choice at Burnley in the Championship.

He comes here it's as number 1.

[ArmchairDetective]

Anyone know what kind of keeper Hladky is? Don't know much about him. If we are interested in him it'd give us an indication as to how we can expect to play.

[claretskeith]

From what I've read, it sounds like passing on the ground is one of his strengths - and punching the ball.

Played an online Championship fantasy game last year and he was the top points scoring keeper - thats all i know

No better measure of performance if you ask me

Thanks. Already preparing for him to get stick for punching rather than catching then

Sign him on

LongsideClaret (usually very reliable with his info) mentioned Hladky potentially coming in as our new number 2 keeper on a different thread (maybe the team v Luton thread) a few days ago…..

[BigGaz]

For me it took precisely about 15 minutes to confirm to myself that Benny wasn't gonna make it.

Yes he was another one that didn't get a fair crack of the whip but PL fullbacks were quite happy showing him inside, where they'd been fully briefed on what he was looking to do. Armed with the knowledge, along with the technical and physical acumen to promptly bully him off the ball, then to add insult to injury they'd set off up the line with it knowing that he wouldn't follow.

Terry Knacker of Rotherham Utd will quite happily let Benny do what he wants ten times a game, your Lewis, Digne and Udogie's on the other hand are just going to laugh him off the pitch.

Yeah looks like he called that right again.

Which is a bit of a shame because he also said he expects Odobert to go for big money.

I know we have to sell but I was really hoping we’d keep our best players. I’d much rather we see them develop than have the money in the bank!

It'll be a shame if (when?) we loose Wilson and Sander, but it would partly because of ridiculous overspending last year.

[burnley007]

Is it still ridiculous if we double our money on both signings?

[summitclaret]

Yes overall.

[lakedistrictclaret]

I would like to see some action soon, both outgoing and incoming.

The new Championship season starts three weeks on Saturday ( although we have an extra two days) and it is important that Scott Parker has as long as possible with his new squad.

On the goalkeeping front, one north-eastern journalist believes Newcastle are still after James Trafford, but if they do get him they should loan him back to us for the season.

That means it starts in a month.

We'll earn more by gaining promotion. If selling players means we don't get promoted, we'll lose out big time overall.

[BigGaz]

I'm not adverse to SP taking a bit longer to look at the players. He might be privy to who we expect to leave so those who we thought might be jettisoned quickly and early might actually be being given some time to impress him.

We do need players moving on before the end of the window though.

[IanMcL]

There will be a mass, cheap exit. All on a whoosh.

One or two in as we need keepers at least.

Every year destroy and rebuy. Half a season to adjust.

Let's hope I am just a cynical pessimist! (I know I hope so!)

I think it's fair to assume you are a pessimist!

I don't see anything as grim as that.

Just developing a new approach, which doesn't just produce success overnight.

[Steddyman]

So O'Hare is going to Sheffield instead of us, and Hladky has chosen to go to Jablonec instead of us.

Sounds like we are back in a Sean Dyche like transfer window.

Hladky would be going home, so I can see the logic in that.
