Town Among Clubs Linked With Swindon Skipper
Wednesday, 10th May 2017 14:43

Town, QPR, Charlton, Rotherham and Portsmouth are all reported to be keen on Swindon captain Nathan Thompson.

The 26-year-old, a centre-half or right-back, is out of contract and is likely to leave the County Ground on a free transfer this summer following the Robins’ relegation to League Two, with the Blues and the other four clubs among those showing interest, according to Sky Sports News.

Chester-born Thompson, who is 5ft 9Â½in tall, came through the youth system at Swindon and has made 173 starts and 14 sub appearances, scoring four goals, since breaking into the first team in 2010/11.

Bluebell added 14:52 - May 10 Centre half or right back? Maybe a replacement for Berra but where does that leave Spence and Smith? I would have thought we have enough players for that position, it's striker we should be looking for!

King_of_Portman_Rd added 14:56 - May 10 I read that as 'Sweden Skipper' Can't see an awful lot in this as bringing in Spence and Taylor would seem more likely

rickw added 15:55 - May 10

I was just reading Swindon articles about him and it said "another injury hit campaign" for him - we don't need more injury prone players! He sounds like a "proper bloke" though so MM would like him, I can't see Mick playing a 5"9 CB though.....

What was interesting was in their player of the season vote Rohan Ince came 2nd despite only joining the club on loan from Brighton in January. I've been impressed with him when I've seen him in the past for Brighton, a big physical energetic defensive midfielder who would give more to the team than Skuse does...

Wallingford_Boy added 16:39 - May 10 Oooooh my mate knows him, has got him tickets for Swindon games in the past and says he's their best player by a country mile. I will see if he can find out anything!

Bassett_Blue added 17:13 - May 10 He is very good on the ball, when I have seen him they have played him as a sweeper/spare man in a three, who brings the ball out of defence and set up most of their attacks, everything went through him. Have always thought we should go for him, I think he would be good enough to play as a holding midfielder.

Coey118 added 17:19 - May 10 A 5'9 centre back sounds exactly what we need.
