sir_gary_cahill Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not seen it covered anywhere on this forum but it says on the OS in the newspapers section that we're after George Boyd, I'd take him definitely, he's a premier league player in my opinion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go so far as to say that would be bonkers and justification to carry Bruce off in a straight jacket. He'd get pulverized out there!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's nearly 20 years old, he's outstanding in my opinion, who would you suggest GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I remember watchint Boyd about a decade ago. He is talented and I don't think he can get any slower than he was back then. So I will be on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he, sorry I thought he was younger - certainly looks younger!! Me, I've settled on another season of Sam Johnstone and I'd wager we'll get him again. He looked to have gotten over his shaky start by the end of the season, so it makes sense to try and keep him for consistency. If not then i grant you it's not an easy one to solve. I'd maybe sound out some of the reserve keepers in the PL, Alex McCarthy at Southampton for instance or perhaps the lad at Genk who we missed out on the January before last? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Boyd would be a very good signing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Mannone only has a year left on his contract at Sunderland... perhaps worth a bid, they'd likely take a reduced fee or he will leave for nothing next summer. Pickford is a shame, I would've thought he'd be pretty good for us (but not for money like that). Edited June 15, 2017 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... he had a couple of stints on loan there I think, 2010/11 and 11/12 I think? Was that too early for SB at Hull? Just had a look and SB started at Hull in June 2012 so I don't think they overlapped. Edited June 15, 2017 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) If we really are strapped for ffp and can only get a GK a CB and struggle to find a DM AM & CF, I think I could handle a lineup like this GK Chester Terry/Jedi Baker Bree/RDL Taylor/Amavi Lansbury Hourihane Adom Hogan/McC Kodjia/Green - Terry and Jedi alernating either in a 3 or Jedi as DM (fullback back to a 4) Hopefully in MF we dont need Gardner or Bacuna with Thor as backup Our attacking options of Adomah Green McC Grealish Kodjia Hogan RHM and Gaby (v SHA) should be enough to get us goals. So all we need is coaches and a manager to get them all to do their "thang" then we should win the league by March. But in an ideal world we need 4/5 players Edited June 15, 2017 by Grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
