Caerphilly Ram Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 4 minutes ago, Millenniumram said: Interesting we’re still in for this lad after signing Chester. With Davies seemingly almost certain to renew his contract, you’d have to think signing Roberts means we won’t renew Stearman’s deal. Yeah. Weirdly, unless he’s coming in as a left back, this is one I wouldn’t mind missing out on. I would rather see Stearman and Davies extend their deals then bring in one or two young cbs for the academy who could get game time as cover throughout the season. There must be some 18-21 year old cbs recently released from prem academy’s that we can pick up like we did with Plange and Ebiowei before.

I don’t want to make other teams players better by being on loan here unless we have a cast iron agreement to buy for X figure if they do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think a left sided cb on loan from a prem side probably comes with the expectation of playing, so what does that mean for Cashin and Chester/Davies (if he re-signs)? Davies and Cashin as first choice cbs with Chester and Stearman (and Forsyth?) as backup options with a couple of academy youths makes more sense to me. If we’re going to get prem loans in in our situation would rather they carry the pace and goal threat we need up top, saw the lad from Newcastle suggested who was at Bristol Rovers last year, that’s ideal in our situation. We need the bodies, loans can bring quality, just think our cb options are decent at this level if we kept Davies and Stearman.

I'm assuming he'd be bought in as a left back to compete with Fozzy (assuming both sign!). With Byrne or another attacking full back on one side, with Roberts/Fozzy the more solid option on the left.

It didn’t exactly go very well for him last time in League One, so I’d only see him as fourth choice emergency cover beneath Chester, Cashin and Davies. I’d rather renew Stearman’s deal to do that job than waste one of our loans on it. Like you say, we can bring in our own young centre backs to develop in the U21s, rather than do Brighton a favour.

Keep seeing this idea of him being a LB, but I can’t see him having played anything other than CB anywhere. Really hope we don’t bring players in to play out of position. We need to sign two proper LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way up, I think they went down, so maybe not the best basis for his natural position! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nottingram Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Did I read he was out of contract at the end of the season? Could be a really smart signing if we can get him for a nominal compensation fee at the end of the season (if we are allowed!) TomG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
