It’s what makes the transfer window so difficult. I would suspect that we’ve already prepared contracts so not much more we can do. It’s down to the players now.

I've personal different avenues I'd go to first than Ajayi, in particular Matt Clarke, but I think Ajayi is a good shout. People assume he wouldn't fit our style because he's a big black lump to put it frankly, but he's very good on the ball and can do a stellar job in midfield as well as you know. Personally I'm keen on getting Vyner in and around the first team, but at centre half. I watched him three times for Plymouth last season, once in the flesh, and he was head and shoulders above anything else on the pitch. He carried the ball well, was picking some fantastic passes and looked like a complete rolls royce. Admittedly, he wasn't playing against the likes of Sharp, Abraham, Adams etc that you'll find in this division but I think given a chance he'd adjust to it. Him and Webster would be an incredibly modern pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go to the MK Dons game when he was thrown in for his debut, but the game after Brighton knew all about him and I doubt Jamie Murphy has ever had a night where he's profited so easily from his opposite number in his career, he knew exactly how to get at him. I think he will have a really good career at CB, I know fans like to go overboard but if you read Plymouth's forum when there were a few hoping of signing him they seemed to think even we'd struggle to keep him in the long run. https://www.pasoti.co.uk/talk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=102977 - have a read if you get a moment.

I appreciate this and it is good to see..however fast forward a year and I doubt Rotherham forum will be as glowing. Either way I am unconvinced he is someone who will or should get a look in next season.....especially with us looking to push for playoffs. I would consider another championship loan ideally to a side looking to use him as a cb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is I don't think you'll find many Championship clubs willing to take him on for a season with no view to a permanent move. When we got promoted to this division back in 2015, would you have taken one of Brentford's (finished 6th 14/15) youth CBs to progress for them with no view to a permanent if we wanted to do so? I think the only way we'll really find out is by chucking him in ourselves. I hope we give him the chance here to do so, I'm sure we will, but if not it could be that we look back on him as one of those that "got away".

Guess, if he is who we are looking at, we want Portsmouth to mess up in the play-offs! Re ZV....a year ago, I would have had little doubt that Taylor Moore would gave a better chance of breaking through, but I think ZV’s games at Rotherham, despite being at RB, might have been good for him. He needs to develop physically over the next 12 months. He is 22 next Tuesday, and has this season to ready himself to really push for a place next season. Whatever games he gets in 19/20 (if not loaned again) will be good for him. That little bit of versatility might not be a bad thing, and might make him an option as RCB in a 3 when needed.

Clarke's a similar footballer to Webster, Portsmouth fans absolutely love him. I've seen him play about 4/5 times so from what I've seen he's a dominant defender that's very comfortable with the ball at his feet and likes to venture out with it and go on those marauding runs that we often see Webster go on. As said, I've only seen him 4/5 times but the statistical analysis that accounts on Twitter such as Blades Analytic publish back this up. I think the club also mentioned that they recruit based on statistical analysis and it was how we found Eliasson so I'm sure they'll be keeping tabs on him if Kalas doesn't sign. Definitely agree re: Vyner. I like our back three and he fits that perfectly, as does Kelly funnily enough and I think them two either side of Webster would work. This article is worth a read if you've got a minute or haven't already, it's Vyner commenting about the stick he received and how he's fought back from it at Rotherham and has gained a lot of respect from their fans for it. - https://www.rotherhamadvertiser.co.uk/sport/view,how-rotherham-united-loanee-zak-vyner-fought-back-from-the-jeers_31729.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pompey came up I don't think he'd be a realistic signing this summer, and as much as I'd love Pompey away next year if they stay down and it increases our chances of signing Clarke and Lowe then I'm all for it. Around £3m would probably do it for a third tier CB I should think. I'd have liked Pinnock at Barnsley as well, that may well still be plausible as Barnsley have form for selling their better players to bigger clubs in this league.

Cider-Head23 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Seems like Dasilva is all but done, the all reason we'll miss out on him is if he feels he can get a bigger move. Will be a real battle to sign Kalas but is certainly possible. Not reading much into Palmer's instagram post, he just put out a generic post when a player finishes a loan move etc. We may well have not seen the last of him, wouldn't be against signing him but wouldn't be to gutted if we don't. Dasilva, Kalas and a striker have to be the main targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure that's what you meant and you make a good point re him fitting our style. With respect as a fellow City fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to @Shtanley‘s podcast it’s often been said that Diedhiou is heavily praised by opposition fans, and the conclusion a few have drawn is that he stands out as a big, black striker. I obviously don’t mean it in any sort of derogatory way, I think you know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
