Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

Is there any actual y'know, substance to this story apart from the Instagram bobbins or is it just wishful thinking/

I don't care how stupid we may look to some by doing it - it's the best solution now.

You're not wrong. Given the defensive shambles that Bruce has overseen, it could be the only solution.

Goodness knows how the club are gonna manage to satisfy FFP requirements - given the transfer & loan activity; and the possible return of Terry. God help us if we're still floundering at the business end of the season...

Not trying to defend the guy but just maybe he is under strict instructions as to who he is able to bring in, Huth and Terry may fall outside of that category.

Putting 2 and 2 together I guess. Us having a desperate defense, closed transfer window, desperate manager, Terry voting he would say yes and the lack of other viable alternatives.

Hmmm....I'd like him back given the circumstances but i can't see it.  Bruce has said he see's Jedinak as a centre-half so it would take him eating of whole lot greggs humble pie to back-track now.

I can't imagine that the owners or CEO would be so stubborn that they wouldn't bend their transfer strategy in order to allow Bruce to bring someone in on a short-term contract to fill a gaping hole in our back-line.

If there is also the option of adding him to the coaching staff I'm sure it'd be even more appealing.

It would make sense all round, not just on the pitch but in the dressing room as well.

It would be desperate behind belief. Make us look like complete and utter numpties as a club.

How would it?

How about planning with modicum of thought and addressing our defensive issues before transfer window closes? I am assuming we have professionals running the club including our team manager.

I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to

Yes, that would have been nice. But for various reasons it didn't happen so it might just possibly be time for a short-term solution to the problem. It wouldn't be desperation, it wouldn't make us look anything other than doing something we should have done a month ago, and nobody except ourselves would raise more than the slightest of eyebrows.

Would you rather us go until at least January with Jedinak at centrehalf then?

[olaftab]

OK fine it’s just rankles me with everything else being so crap all around😥

[sickbeggar]

Personally i think how we line up next game is probably one of the most interesting conundrums in a long time. Will he persevere with the current back 5 that clearly doesn't work, and if not what will his excuse be?  I think he'll keep them but play much more defensively in front of them

No but how about playing a centre half Taunzebe at centre half rather than right back?
