I thought it was just while the playoff teams and confirmed relegation teams weren't accounted for yet.. edit - just checked, crikey we are favourites at 8/1. Absolutely baffling! Though we were second favourites behind Newcastle for the season just finished :-( 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youtube video of him.. seems very comofortable on the ball... no idea how he defends.. but could be a ball playing centre back we need? I think he looks similar to Chester. We need a big commanding CB.. basically Baker but better and quicker. Hes free and could be decent back up though. Our Norwegian villans.. any good?

Adbo9 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 would be a sensible signing, it seems when Baker isn't available, chester gets shunted across the other side of the back pairing and he isn't as comfortable...... probably add cover at leftback as well...............

villan-scott Posted June 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2017 Looking at Forrens career his contract expired at Molde on 1st Jan, moved to Brighton in March and didn't get a game. Has played for Liverpool and Southampton in his career, could do worse than signing him on a free for competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Hmmm, I was hoping for a better quality signing at left-sided centre-half if i'm honest. Baker didn't do badly, but he's a player we could improve on, especially since he is injury prone. I would have been looking to structure the defense as follows for next season: First XI: Taylor -- New tall commanding CB -- Chester -- BreeBack-up: Amavi -- Baker -- New back-up CB -- De Laet Out/squad: Hutton (wages too high), Elphick (or keep as back-up CB), Richards (wages too high, isn't a footballer anymore) Edited June 2, 2017 by GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obanken Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 No thanks to Forren. We don't need another "overweight" player who is slow. And he would not be a cover for left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Never played for Brighton, never played for Southampton. Not sure he's cut out for English football by the sound of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Rather Forren than Richards as a back up CB. Plus Frees money up to spend further up the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted June 2, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2017 We won't be going for the likes of Forren this summer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) I like the look of Flint. (Never seen him play). Just seems like the big, commaning Cb with a scoring threat we need. Edited June 2, 2017 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I remember Forren being highly rated a few years ago. Was linked with Liverpool and Arsenal iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sidcow Posted June 2, 2017 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2017 I don't want us to sign anyone for cover. I want us to sign someone who turns the current regular starter into the cover. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Rather sign a british player fed up of forren coming here and taking our jobs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I can see 1 CB coming in but I also expect a lot more responsibility will be handed to the likes of Toner and the lad from Bury as 4th choice defenders when we have an injury crisis. Maybe Baker, Chester and Flint will be our 3 with youth final options after them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Would still like Pantillimon as our goalie and would be reasonabley priced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2017 Transfermarkt has Wayne Hennessy as being out of contract this summer (and I've not heard he's signed with anyone), I would take him if it's on a free. He's not a world class keeper, but we need someone half-decent and I think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
