Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[OCD]

Gerrard wants 2 genuine options for every position and competition for places so it wouldn't surprise me if we did want Hickey. Even better if he can play right back with Hayden training with the first team and starting to push Cash for a place.

[algy]

I can't see why Hickey would come.  Coming to compete with Targett is one thing, coming to compete with a £25m French international who we have just signed is another.  The press are reporting Bologna want to keep him and AC Milan, Newcastle United, Brentford are all interested.

I think we've missed the boat with this lad.

I'd be less concerned if he can play on both flanks, you'd expect him to get a decent number of games through injuries, suspensions, and squad rotation. Think he could easy rack up 30-odd appearances (10 starts at either position + 10 subs appearances).

Personally I'd see if KKH could get a loan in the Championship for a season. Hopefully we'd be in Europe the season after and so the 4 fullbacks would get plenty of games.

Can’t see this happening

Three quality full backs for two spots would do nicely.

Give Young another year as cover and loan out the young full backs again.

Young is done and I don't see any reason why the club should be considering another year.

His leadership, attitude and mentality are absolutely spot on for starters.

I'd keep Young if we were buying Hickey & he was happy as 4th choice fullback / emergency midfield cover. Otherwise, it's a "no" from me.

I dont think they are at all, he's too easy to wind up. His petulance in injury time at Molineux when we should have been busting a gut to get the ball was pathetic and played right into Wolves game plan of winding the game down to a slow halt.

He's a fighter with a strong will to win. We've lacked that for a long time, someone who is straight to the ref and arguing our case.

And he actually was the best player on the pitch last week too.

He was but I wouldn't want him possibly slowing the progress of the talent coming through.

First out the door for me would be McGinn as for the last 3-4 seasons he has defined our midfield and every configuration has had him in it somewhere - to varying effect and in latter seasons that effect has been quite negatively.

It is time we looked at something else
