Summer transfer rumours

It was a friendly. The need for full backs is still present. I certainly won't repeat the same post for the sake of it or claim victory over other posters as it's not about that. It's about what's best for safc. Hopefully the recruitment team do their job otherwise we may not achieve our ultimate goal.

 

No one's said we'll lose every game. We have said it'll seriously effect the side. Which it did last season when results suffered

 

With the way modern football is played both of the full backs have to be comfortable on the ball as they are expected to play high up the pitch when attacking to try and create overloads in the wide positions which is why we more midfielder type players in the position rather than a simple stopper.

 

Fantastic post

 

this is exactly what I thought would happen. KLD wants sustainability which means if he spends his own money it will be on capex not opex. Single transfer fees paid by him that do not tie the club to any sort of debt, future payments or exaggerated wages should he be hit by a bus tomorrow.

he will invest but only on one off payments IMO. One off transfer payments, infrastructure etc

 

Probably be Bailey away then.

 

Spot on

 

Any idea if the centre back is any Goode?

 

Interesting, that would seem to allow Wright to move on.

 

Agree with this mate. It is right for him to do exactly this. Clubs will want to deal with us for this reason. Our revenue outstrips all other clubs, at least genuine revenue, and should see us paying wages top players want, as seen with O'Nien. Dont be surprised if we win big in the loan market because we pay a loan fee as well.

 

Goode would be a class signing. As would Jebbison mind. Tall and athletic with a real genuine threat in behind. The team should no longer be one dimensional!

 

Sounds like a positive week ahead transfer wise
And even though the team has been makeshift in positions the performances in friendlies have been impressive

 

Was there ever anything in the Owen Dale link? He'd be a canny signing too.

 

This is exactly the way it should be going forward. If we have to be patient and need to use the entire window then we should. I understand the impatience, it’s got to me a bit but if he’s paying with his own cash and bringing in better players then supporters should buy into his way. He’s doing it all for the right reasons. If it came to the day he wanted to sell the club it would be a more attractive business without the debt.

 

I just have a good feeling about this season, and for some reason I think we'll go up as champions, reading between the lines it looks like Goode is the PL player we have bid £1.3m for and Jebbison in on loan, just get the two mentioned in and a decent LB in and I'll be very happy for now, the RB problem can be sorted after the season has started.

 

Ive just checked and Goode is 6 foot 5. I think we all know a big CB in this league goes a long way. Beevers was an absolute brick wall when we played Peterborough last season and another big CB i remember us struggling against was McFadzean's brother last season when we played Coventry.

Wright has the physical presence for us, but not the height. Flannagan just gets outmuscled when we play a team with a big strong CF so id like to see us sign a big unit to play at the back aswell alongside Doyle.

 

Excellent insight mate! HP and Credit Card are not where we’re at! Sustainable future means taking control, not hoping on a wing and a prayer!

 

Can i just add. Xhemajli is 6 foot 3 and a pretty big lad physically. I cant wait to see what he has to offer.

 

Yep, hope his recovery is ahead of the schedule we’ve been given. Think him and Doyle will be a sound pairing, if his reputation is correct.

 

Are they both not left hand sided CBs?
