Sorry mate, I just made a similar post. Didn’t see this post.

Would explain McGuinness being absent yesterday, and Bulut being quiet about it when questioned.

Left sided centre back, so may offer better balance too.

One of our weak points opposition seem to pick it out as a weakness ... so a bit of balance should help going forward with ball

Hopefully LHS centre back so Goutas can revert to RHS.

Looks like he’s right footed, but plays on the left side, so would be comfortable there anyway.

Have you seen him play much?

What's he like? What will he offer us to help shore up our leaky defence?

Do you think he's better than Mcguiness?

Re: Updated “ Done deal for new defender “

Oh for a pairing like Wes Morgan and Robert Huth. Proper centre halfs.

Re: Updated “ Done deal for new defender “

Good news , he must be decent if it’s one of buluts signings , desperate for a proper defender to replace Phillips (chambers) not up to it at present

The 29-year-old has two Netherlands international caps to his name.




30th July 2024:
Striker Wilfred Kanga / Terms agreed with Berlin, a season long loan.
Aged 26

Berlin 23 appearances 2 goals / Standard Liege 36 appearances 12 goals




13th July 2024: Callum Chambers is a Cardiff City player after being released by Aston Villa.
Became a free agent.
3 year contract. Villa said he could go in January, Bulut wanted him, but things did not happen behind the scenes, but today Chambefmrs became a Bluebird.

I’m not so concerned about this signing, he looks like a decent signing for a backup CB.

However, what’s most important is whether we can get a good goal scorer with the money made from McGuinness. If we can it’s a good move for us and the club, if we can’t then it’s a very risky sale at best !!

Never a dull moment !!

I would hope this kid is good enough to go straight into the first team and not just be a back up. Given the evidence so far, maybe this guy is still a 'youngster' in Erol's view (sorry, that is laced with sarcasm!)

Time will only tell if it's good business for the playing squad but is highly rated , the good business is the money we are getting for mcguiness, hopefully some of that goes for a decent striker .

Praying we sign a striker worthy of the name Wez and also hope said striker wants to play on his own up front.

Jay stansfield please. Then I’d be pretty happy with our squad. Maybe a prem loan right wing / midfielder just to finish off.
