Joe Allen worth a look in midfield? Might be a bit long in the tooth now...
Not sure about that - was only quoting re Ogbeta - but now you mention it, Przemyslaw Placheta has been mentioned by Ghost as a potential attacking LWB option.

"Veteran Swansea City defender Kyle Naughton has agreed a new one-year contract with the Championship club. Naughton, 35, had been due to become a free agent this summer... Naughton is the first of six senior players whose contracts expire this summer to agree a new deal. The futures of Joe Allen, J...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

Only once did we break through the 50,000 barrier in the 70s and yes, that was Everton for the league cup. Just once did we surpass 40,000 in the league (Sunderland 1975) Utd, City and Liverpool in the league were all healthy 30,000 + crowds but obviously included a high number of away supporters. ...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

I’m nervous but determined to go and enjoy the day. I really hope everyone else on here who is going enjoys it as do those who aren’t. I’m not ashamed to admit the last few months have been personally very tough for family reasons I won’t go into and it’s taken a big toll on me personally. Whatever...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

I've really enjoyed this season. Some great games, goals, occasions etc. Feck ups v Wigan, disgraceful reffing performance at Blackpool and a general feeling that we're a better side than our points tally, aside - there haven't been many better. The whole memory though, and whether its been a succe...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

The 2 Parkinson seasons that ended with the pitch invasions had happy finale's but both were turgid, boring seasons with some absolutely shocking football and results into the mix. Remembered for their relative successes, not for their enjoyment. Most of that Championship season was spent watching ...

Fitted for suits. Like it's a jolly day out. This lack of focus is why we'll never get anywhere.

Ethan Erhahon at Lincoln is someone I would like us to look at. Definitely Championship-bound, that lad.
They've said this week they expect him to break their incoming transfer record, which is currently £640,000.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Leicester forum reaction seems to coalesce around "maybe a lower-half Champo / upper League One player". Most think he's better as a LWB than LB in a four, but there's a few warning notes over lack of physicality. And they really do hate Chilwell. https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/134853-luke-thomas...

Cole is an odd one. feel like he may be a league one player…
One goal and one assist in 24 second-tier appearances (albeit 16 of them as sub, not always in the middle of the front 3, and most importantly all for a plummeting Barnsley). Also turns 30 next May. Not sure he'd top my list.

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Interested to see Barnsley's retained/released list when it emerges. Per Transfermarkt, among those falling out of contact are Devante Cole, Nicky Cadden, Herbie Kane and Jordan Williams. Jamie McCart's also been listed by Rotherham, whence he was loaned to the Tykes... Maybe they'll all go to Hudd...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

It's also reacting to events. 64 of the 72 EFL teams have finished their seasons and are announcing their released/retained lists, and among them will be players we might target. Natural to speculate thereupon (and it fills the nervous days). If we stay down, it's more about who we might lose, but I...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Can we make space if needed? If we stay down I don't think that'll be a problem, as some will have offers and want out. Who are you expecting to walk if we stay down? I must admit I'm not expecting a stampede. Still questions over Santos. Sheehan's 29. Maaaaybe interest in Dion (again) but we've ha...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Positional flexibility means it's not always this simple, but one basic way to look at squad depth is XI vs XI. Without descending into "he's better than him" arguments, next season we have these players under contract: .............Charles Collins......... Williams Thomason Dempsey JDC ...............

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

Up front, if we lose JDB and Cam in summer, that feels like space. A bit of space, but not much, considering we'll have AC, DC, Vic and Dan – all strikers Evatt spent club money on - plus CMG as a wildcard fifth forward. Doesn't mean I don't think we should have an eye out - for instance, I wonder ...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

I would suspect that players "like" Ogbeta and Azeez are more likely candidates than "bigger" names. If we do go up, we will be suddenly swimming in a pond of sizeable fishies. Doesn't mean success is impossible (ask Ian's mate Rob Edwards) but we'll have to be savvy. If we need say five signings, I...
