Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

[nigel]

So who thought we'd enter September without signing a single new player?

Who thought we’d enter September with the season only officially ending a couple of weeks ago and the new season not having started yet?

When did you think the season ended?

Ours, like 95% of teams finished 5 weeks ago.

 The thought of Nyland starting against Sheff Utd is worrying...

yeah, Nyland is crap isn't he?  Just watch the 2 League Cup Semi's against Leicester!  2 of the best performances of any goalkeeper in whole of last season. But lets forget that and remember 1 mistake against Sheffield Utd.

Which, in fact, wasn’t really his fault

I always feel like Nyland lacks confidence and doesn't command his area.

He's arguably our best shot-stopper though.

Prefer Steer as second choice, ahead of Nyland personally.

Signed Ruben Shakpoke from Norwich.  He's a striker, at least.

We now have a 'Shakatak'. Let's hope he is 'Out Of This World'

The longer Steer has been with us the more I have come to rate him. He might not be spectacular but he is a solid reliable keeper.

Steer was brilliant for us in the run of games that led to the Play-Off win.

Those saves don't count as we didn't win it. I think.

People on here are very to quick to jump on any post that criticises our worrying lack of transfer activity. Those same people will be the first to kick off if we start the season poorly.
Surely we would’ve already ear marked potential signings before the season ended like we had done the year before: Premier league targets  and Championship targets. How we have still not succeeded in signing anyone yet is alarming.

There wasn’t a mistake, we drew 0-0.

Steer won the semi final penalty shoot out and won the final.
So exactly the point about quality and winners.

Good luck to Nyland by all means however he's lacks presence and confidence.

I think we would have gone down if Reina hadn't come back in and Nyland stayed in goal.

Don't you see that's why Reina ultimately was signed. Nyland unable to perform to the task.
Reina was quite the commanding keeper when Nyland had vocal cord issues

[Pat Mustard]

I’ve said it before, but Steer is just about the only keeper we’ve had in the last 10 years who hasn’t had me sh@tting myself anytime the ball goes near him and I would be more than happy with him as first choice. Unfortunately he also seems to be made of glass, which is a bad quality for a goalie.

[olaftab]

James Bree signed for Luton according to SSN.

Good luck to the boy. Probably the right level for him for now.

[john e]

we’re going to have a fucking ace team





in 5 years time

Nyland has come on leaps and bounds.
He still has plenty to learn, but he will certainly get better with a better defence in front of him.

I thought the defence looked a bit better without Nyland behind it, tbh.

Nyland is an Enkelman. Very dodgy.
