Anyone think of central defender for the summer? 09:28 - May 5 with 2047 views | MrTown | Seems likely now that Wilson, Chambers & Nsiala will all leave in the summer, with McGuinness going back. Woolfenden has had a decent little run in poor season for him since the Charlton game. Will still need 2/3 central defenders this summer. Any ideas all? | |

Anyone think of central defender for the summer? on 09:34 - May 5 with 1612 views | MB26 | Eoghan O'Connell from Rochdale. As much as Rochdale have been awful defensively this year I think he's been highly rated by many for a couple of years now. Maybe a back-up option. I'd like to see Baggott get a chance too but we need an experienced option who will start week in, week out. Tom Anderson at Doncaster? | | | |

He's had a bit of rough season, only played around 10 games, spend around 2 months out with an injury. Nearly 30 now. Not sure on this one, but can see why it is suggested. | |

I like Eoghan O'Connell. Out of contract I think as well. Anderson a good shout for me. | |

CCV wouldn't come here. He'll get a Championship gig. Johnston don't know anything about. Dunkley not for me. I thought Blackett was a left back? | |

George Johnston. On Liverpool's books as a youth. Only 22 years old. Scottish youth caps. On loan to Wigan from Feyenoord. Believe he is out of contract this summer. | |

Souttar was a man mountain at Fleetwood. Contracted for another 4 years at Stoke, playing pretty much every week. No chance on a deal there. Baggott can't be relied on yet, still some way away from first team regular. | |

Great shout. Crystal Palace his parent club. Had a really good spell with Charlton on loan. Imagine they'll be looking to sign him permanently as well. | |

Just popped over to Wigan forum to see if there was anything on him. Few mentions for him regarding POTS, but they seem to rate Curtis Tilt there as well. He looks a small CB though, apparently just 6ft. Side note, they really think that Callum Lang is pretty special. | |

As I thought but someone did ask........ need someone in the mould of him, but really don't know too much about the Championship players unfortunately There's plenty of better ones that we have in this division but I am guessing we are hopefully looking for something s bit better than that Would take Callum Connelly who seems to have progressed into a decent CH | |

if we are looking in that mold, then someone has already mentioned Tom Anderson at Doncaster. I think he could be a good option. | |

Stranger things have happened, he’s out of contract in the summer. Dunkley was solid under Cook, a player that he will trust. Johnston is out of contract at Feynoord, although they might have an option. Would be a quality signing imo, one that I could definitely see moved on for a good fee if he came here and done well. Blackett can play left-back or centre-back, not been a regular at Forest this season. Was on Man United’s books and moved for almost £2m a few years ago, so definitely something about him. | | | |

Stranger things have happened, but he's been playing at Bournemouth, at the top end of the Championship, a Champ team will take him, especially on a free. Dunkley at this level fully fit would be a very good signing. But he hasn't really consistently played since he fractured his leg at the start of 2020, and was out for 11 months. He's missed another 2 months this year due to injury. Has only played about 10 games. Seems a big gamble. I genuinely don't know anything about that Johnston kid, but a couple have mentioned him now. Blackett I remember at United, and Reading. Looked a good athlete, versatile. so possibly a good option. [Post edited 5 May 2021 10:19]

Connolly really does tick a lot of boxes. He's out of contract, only 23 and played a decent chunk of football consistently over the past few seasons (some of it in the Championship). He's probably the last decent loanee we actually had - looked a capable, solid Championship player for us. Has now blossomed into a decent centre half for Fleetwood, a warrior but also very comfortable on the ball and versatile too. Also played for Cook previously at Wigan. Very much the type that could go on the journey with us and potentially be worth a few quid too as he develops further. [Post edited 5 May 2021 10:19]

I liked Connolly, but not as central defender for me. Certainly can see him as CDM in one of the 2 roles in Cooks system. Would be a really good and natural replacement if Downes were to be sold. Carbon copies of each other really. | |

I think he is settled in the CH role now, think he would be just what we need We do need replacements for Dozzell and Downes, neither of them provide much if not anything currently, Dozzell plays 2 metre passes back t whoever has played it to him or plays it nowhere near a team mate and flings his arms in the air and Downes, I have no idea what he does | |
