If people think we'll sign 8 players in the next 3-4 weeks then I think they're in for a disappointment! The priority should be to get a GK & Ebou ASAP and then go from there. jono, Nuwtfly and therealhantsram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more then leave id say they need replacing too so 8 would be if none left imo. Of the 8 i think at least 4 will be loans.

Eoghan1884 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Elken Baggot being linked to us by Footballleagueworld who I think are pretty reliable. If it’s a permanent it’s a great addition for the future. He’s a 6 foot 5 21 year old centre back from Ipswich with 1 year left on his contract. Is left footed so probably will play in the middle or left of a back three. An Indonesian international who played 4 times last year for Ipswich before heading on loan to Bristol Rovers where he played 14 games getting 1 goal and 1 assist. Reading some Bristol Rovers fans tweets they’d all love him to go back so he obviously impressed in his 14 games there. I hope it’s a permanent and not a loan though.

Gabby'sThighs Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 "I think our frontline is okay, but we can always strengthen that again, our defensive line is okay, but needs strengthening, we need a goalkeeper or two and need probably three or four midfielders." Two keepers, a CB, 4 midfielders, and a forward. I'm guessing from that number that we'll see a couple of players go out on loan, or leave. Brown & Fornah seem likely candidates for loans, Washington and Barks maybe to go, depending on who comes in. Could Vickers go? Wouldn't blame him if he could get starts elsewhere. Hopefully we'll confirm Ebou today, and a decent keeper soon, then it's only 6 more... It wouldn't surprise me if we see a situation similar to Nyambe's singing last season: as the window drags on towards September, persuading a decent free agent that we're his best option.

IMO, no more than one of the plethora of clickbait sites who a) make stuff up (they'd call it speculation or thinking out loud) in the form of players we cudda/shudda/wudda sign b) make stuff up in the form of players we cudda/shudda/wudda let go c) copy stuff from elsewhere and reword it d) copy stuff from the club website and reword it. What they are good at, as are all their "compatriots" is creating enticing "come and read me" headlines which get people to click on the link and thereby generate advertising revenue. To me, they are all the same, merely putting multiple stories online every day in order to make a buck from ads. I occasionally click on one of those sites accidentally but do my level best to avoid them like the plague. If people on forums and elsewhere such as FB or X were to post a precis of the content and add in FLW, DC dot NEWS or wherever as the source, they'd all disappear inside a month due to their advertising revenue drying up. You will have gathered that I don't like these "news" sites and you'd be right. Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Elkan Baggott is a player that scores well statistically speaking in, especially when averaged per 90, so sticking with that approach then it wouldn’t surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could well have something in it. Not saying they’re the best source but certainly not the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
