I know we have far too many players in the squad and somehow not enough for certain positions but has anyone seen potential signings they think Lambert could/should get?
Jordan Williams was released by Rochdale I see. Good education at Liverpool and can play as a DM or more recently a CB. Thought he played well against us at their place too and is big physical presence. At 25 he might be the right age too if we are going to be bouncing around this league and the Championship until we find another decent manager.
George Tanner was being talked about on twitter last night and was apparently decent at Morecambe on loan as an attacking left back. I can't imagine we are going to find a left back who has the goals in him that Garbutt had, but two attacking full backs and the youths we have to play out wide might rapidly improve our effectiveness going forward.
Anyone got any decent shouts they fancy to be the right player for the right wages? |  |

Will be interesting to see how Nydam returns from injury. Was looking like a good prospect at LB. |  |

I dunno if we saw enough of him there. He was certainly looking like he'd do well on the left of a narrow midfield or as a LWB with more bite than Kenlock.
Unfortunately that injury may well have put a much lower ceiling on his career now, same as AD and Bishop. | |

Might be me being extremely harsh, but I don’t see it.
He’s too small, not quick and just doesn’t stand out. I really hope I’m wrong, but I see him as another Byron Lawrence. |  | | |

We desperately need an experienced midfielder with a good engine and can also tackle without getting booked.

Also... the young Tommy Smith will be pushing Kenlock for that LB spot this year too. |  |

Gnanduillet might be worth a look on a 1 year contract as he’s just been released by Blackpool. I’d like us to sign Colin Brammall from Colchester but that’d involve a fee so it’s probably a non-starter. |  |

Oh and Tommy Smith should be a no-brainer... we’re in need of a CB and even if he’s not at the same level he was before, he’d be in the side ahead of Chambers | |

Teddy Bishop's back to full fitness next month. |  | | |
| Potential Free Signings? on 11:37 - Jun 26 with 3199 views | Libero |
I don't think I'd be trying to make too many additions, mainly unloading players.
I'd go for Tommy Smith on a free and a couple of Garbett-esqe loans from Premier League/Championship clubs.
Other than that we've got dead wood to shift. | | | |

Gnanduillet for sure, but he won't be going anywhere for 1 year. at 28 years old, off the back of 15 goal season (30 games), he'll be looking for his 'big contract'.
Would offer him 3 year deal, but think we would be priced out of this.
Tommy Smith for certain, left footed balance, massive experience (even internationally) to be playing in League 1, about to have his first born, wants to be settling now, stars seemed to have aligned for this one.
If Woolfenden goes, Alim Otzurk, released by Sunderland. |  |

….and possibly replacements for Downes and/or Wolf, but a left back mainly.
Other than that the lack of finances will dictate.
Trimming the squad might actually help our hopeless manager focus his thoughts a little bit.
Obviously this will all go to pot once preseason starts and they all start dropping like flies, but that's a different story. | |

Right now without any departures I would say we need 4:
GK to push Holy - Remi Matthews, out of contract at Bolton
CB - Tommy Smith, no brainer, just turned 30, loves the club, gives left sided balance
LWB - Marvin Johnson, out of contract at Boro', depends how they finish season if he stays
- Jordan Obita, if he gets released, out of contract at Reading', has injury issues though
- Calvin Miller, wildcard, released by Celtic, well thought of by Rodgers when he was there
ST - Target Man - Armand Gnanduillet, 15 lge goals last year, 6'2, fast, strong and good feet
- Atdhe Nuhiu, out of contract at Sheff W, giant unit, would be very useful
If Downes goes I would be looking for an experienced DM who can break things up and give us a bit of steel, again possible free agents:
Sam Hutchinson - Frozen out at Sheff W, wages may be an issue, good age, may be Champ interest
Kieran Lee - Again Sheff W, could get an extension though, experienced
Korey Smith - In and out for Bristol City this season, yet to be offered new deal, a few injuries this year though | | | |

Honestly, I don't see either of them leaving, the transfer market is going to grind to a halt other than top division, free agents and swap deals. | | | |

Oh, they'll go. Just for a fraction for what we'd have gotten under normal circumstances.
Probably to Derby. [Post edited 26 Jun 2020 14:12]

Any Championship club paying fees is taking an unbelievable gamble.
Championship clubs are already some of the most at risk clubs by nature of being in a division where it is somewhat culturally expected of the clubs to over spend in order to compete.
There are a lot of reckless owners in that division having to take a bit of a look at themselves in the mirror right now, not many of them are going to be looking at making large scale financial investments in players.
As I say, expect swap deals, freebies, loans and promotion of Academy prospects in the Championship. Yes, there will still be some players that come in for small fees but I'd be absolutely amazed if spending continues as was pre-pandemic below the Premier League. | | | |

Is he really 28? Shows how bad this division is that I assumed he was at least 5 years younger than that because he's stood out so much.
I'm hopeful Tyreece Simpson might be a super sub for a few games this season and unsettle teams.
I wouldn't be surprised to see us sell Jackson either. | |

I really like Remi Matthews (that connection aside) but we really can't carry two senior keepers. It's not even a Gerks/Bart crossroads it just allows Lambert to dither. Either he backs Holy or he doesn't.
I think we're about 5 years too late for Lee, always liked him but I can't imagine he'd fancy the move or drop here. | |

Agree Re: Two senior keepers.
Select a number one and set him up with a young understudy. | | | |

I agree I think a lot of clubs will be cutting their costs and not making any big signings unless they have to replace someone being sold for even more money!
I can't see us signing Smith, Lambert didn't want him in January, we still have Wilson, if we did sign him, then Woolfenden will play with one other and that would leave 2 experienced D-C's out of the team.
I'd like us to get Gnanduillet - it's been a while since we've had a decent targetman!! |  |

Think a lot of people are looking in the wrong division. Players currently on Championship wages are probably out of reach.

If we're lucky, we'll be picking up decent players from the division plus a few freebies, Downes and Woolf will go and we will finish 15th after spending the first half of the season flirting with relegation.
Lambert will probably get the sack as a result of the latter though. | |
