Kalvin Phillips - no thank you.
Thinks he is far better than he actually is, we need to stay away from this sort of signing.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely Duaney, thinks hes the big i am when really he is a very poor player mate..

Hard to argue against his form in the past couple of years. It was not a poor player that Pep saw and spent big on though. Is it possible that he can recover his previous form? Unfortunately, this is exactly the sort of player we can sign and may have to take the odd risk, we are not dining off the top table.

Some players are made for one club and I think KP is one of those players. He needs to go back to Leeds where he is loved and respected by the fans, pick himself up and see if he can hit the same levels as he did a few years back. Not a bad player but I was surprised that Pep took a gamble on him, he was never a City type of player for me.

Is he to replace Gomes if we get him.

I like the look of Sheaf from Cov gents.
He has good pedigree with having spent most of his career at Arsenal, despite only playing for them once.
I have watched him at Cov a few times when I was seeing how Simms was getting on.
A proper midfielder who has the ability to do it all. Aggressive in the press, great at stealing the ball and decisive and clean when he goes to ground.
He is calm in possession, has a lovely first touch and likes taking the ball under pressure to either play it round the corner or spread one out to the flanks to start progressing play. He always looks to play forward and can spray a decent ball. He actually has decent feet too and can get out of tight spaces when the opposition press him and then carry the ball forward.
If we actually have any money to spend on a midfielder when Onana goes, he would be a fantastic signing and would walk straight into our team. Although that isn't very difficult these days.

I imagine there would be a hefty loan fee involved and we would be paying a decent chunk of his wages.
His attitude stunk at West Ham.
Surely this is where we need to be using our scouting network and using what money we have to sign a young player that could be an investment instead of dead money.

Does anyone know if gana has or will be offered a 1 year extension just curious and for me kalvin Phillips as much as i liked him at leeds an city before injury he struggled at west ham this season i think we can look at other alternatives who could do better but we have no money and i can't see much money being generated if we do sell onana for his replacement so i think loan market will pave way for 1 or 2 signings question is who is out there that can come in on loan with options to buy but yeah interesting debate lads.

Only seen him a couple of times on the box. But looks better than what we have, and would be a good acquisition. Hopefully Thelwell's scouts have gone as far as Coventry BN.

Gana’s contract’s been extended by a year.
28 May 2024 15:44:36
Just keep him off the pens Brass. I am sure he laced one of the woodwork against United. Was a shame as he was top drawer in that game.
Jury is still out on Thelwell. For every Tark, there is a Vinagre.

Oh dear here we go again with over paid players who have lost there edge, have we not learnt with the rubbish we've had over the years, couldn't even get in the squad at west ham, big no thanks from me.
{Ed025's Note - and me pasty..
