Transfer targets

[RobB11]

Get that lad in from Leicester who scored a hattrick last night before Bury poach him. Great name as well - Joe Dodoo. I can see it now, he scores "dodoo doo come on and do the conga". Absolute scenes in the stands.

I imagine a lot of lower league managers will be on the phone to Leicester about him.

Suggestions on Twitter that the Championship centre-back might be Glen Rea from Brighton, Republic of Ireland u-21 international. Brighton want to send him out on loan.

I'd prefer we were close to signing a striker.

Still wanted

 

[RobB11]

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised. Not suggesting he'd be our saviour, but, he took his 3 goals exceptionally well, the first one in particular nearly took the crossbar off.

Good stuff, I thought maybe he was avoiding it. So that tweet obviously means Garvan won't be signing then.

 

[Jam_Man]

He would have to be very very good to get signed, we have too many midfielders. Im all for signing "better than we have" but he would have to make a massive difference to be worthwhile.

 

[mattitouk]

Just need a Striker now please! and we can get our season finally up and running.

Although, unlike some doom merchants on here, im not completely dissapointed about our performance against the teams we have played so far this season. Im still confident of a mid table finish.

Most think our strikers are doo-doo anyway.

I wonder if deegan would've been offered a new deal had Garvan been training with us back when he signed on. Sure people would prefer garvan sitting on the bench to deegan

Looks as though everyone on here was tucked up in bed when CP made his final tweets last night!

Tomorrow's Echo reveals how Blues are trying to sign Brighton defender Glen Rea.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Presumably PB will have had a good look at him as he played against us in the Capitol One Cup. i did find a video of him and and this looks promising:winking:............................importantly, he is also Irish. :smile:

the video is not quite what I expected but shows that he possibly has the skills to succeed with us :winking:.....................hilarious! :smile:

Different roles.

Deegan is there to mix it up, Garvan a different player altogether.

i know that, but timlin could do deegans role, as could Lenny if need be. So if garvan would've been a option at the time, i reckon PB would've thought more about deegans place here

 

[Jam_Man]

Timlin and Leonard can play defensive roles, but they cant play the hard ******* role.

Deegan just offers something different to every midfielder we have.

As Leonard said in the Wembley programme, you'd rather he was in your team than theirs.

Question is if Garvan is that good would we have given Timlin a contract if we had known. If the answer is no then he isnt better than we have anyway.

 

[Smiffy]

Phil loves a midfielder, so I wonder if he will be on the blower to his old mate Kev Nolan?

Was just thinking the same. Would be a big drop in both wages and stature for him though. Sure he can get a gig at at least a Champ club.

I agree that Deegan offers something different to our other players although I am far from convinced he offers anything better.

I was not overly concerned with his signing at the time but if utlimately we do not have the budget to sign Garvan (and he is still playing at the level he did earlier in his career) then I would consider his signing a mistake. All very easy to say of course with the benefit of hindsight!

 

[Jam_Man]

But to play Garvan wouldnt mean dropping Deegan, it would mean dropping Leonard or Timlin.

So the question is if he is that much better than both we should be regretting signing Timlin, because it may be him who is replaced by him. If Deegan wasnt here and we signed Garvan we would have 5 central midfielders (incl Wordsworth and Atkinson) but would still lack the 'steel' that Deegan would add when needed.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

For the form of the last 12 months, then Lenny deserves to be dropped if anyone, not Timlin.

 

[Pubey]

Why not take the form over the last couple of games.

Leonard was excellent against Doncaster (many on here picked him as MOTM) and doesn't appear to have played badly against Swindon.
