Being in Spain this week is a big part of it. Understandably in some instances(loans) won't be around till later on in the window. The one position we can leave relatively late is keeper, as other than sharpness and communication, pre-season isn't crazy important. Of course, the longer they have to get settled and comfortable the better, but they're relatively plug and play. Different note, but how cool is it to be linked with exciting players with international and European experience? We've not been linked with Gregory, Sharpe OR Martin Smith so far! Refreshing!

StockholmRam Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Swedish Allsvenskan is not a great level of football these days. The best young talent in the country is gone by the age of 15 to other european leagues… Playing for the national team here is no great shakes either compared to days gone by. One or two good players from Sweden like the lad Isaksson at Newcastle but its a very poor version of yesteryear sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also imagine he's way out of our price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind having Vickers start the first few games if it means we bring a good first-choice in for the right price without panic buying.

I would disagree with your assessment of how early or late a new keeper an arrive for pre season. Getting the required level of fitness building relationships with all the defenders communication and understanding the style of play and the keepers role in that are absolutely critical to their success. So they are anything but plug and play Kinder, Will Hughes Hair and Somersall Ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they are anything but plug and play I used to play defence or midfield at a pretty decent level and a new keeper was a nightmare. That being said it was two training sessions a week, not 5. However, if we haven't given a goalie at least 3 proper pre season games and a few weeks of proper training, it's a concern. I anticipate they'll be far more active than Wildsmith has been over the last couple of years as well. We can't be chucking points away with errors.

Carl Sagan Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I wonder if we might have put a bid in to show Leicester we're not wedded to Iversen and they need to lower the price. Can't see the Zerrerstrom thing coming to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 https://onefootball.com/en/news/club-set-price-for-player-wolves-have-had-contact-with-further-sides-keen-39556937 Links from a couple of months back say Wolves were quoted £3m. He has just under 18 months left on his contract (December 2025) The Swedish transfer window is open now until 26 August so they can bring in a replacement at will.

The best teams would probably finish bottom half of the championship. I would fancy us to beat the majority comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
