Sturny Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 These are the kind of transfers i'd like to see us make. Looks like he's established himself in L1 and is still young, will only improve under NP. Now reported by Gregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Hankey Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Seem to remember a couple of years back Ipswich signed all the top league 1 players and none of them made it so they got relegated without much of a fight. Not against 1 or 2 at most from lower league, but seems like most of our suggestions/“linked” seem to be lower league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Looks like Oxford’s play off exit has triggered this story, so could have legs. Here’s his numbers: Really impressive aerial numbers, and strong in both boxes. Good passer of the ball too, although Oxford are a passing team. Finally, an interceptor rather than a tackler. 6’4” so uses his height well. From Cannes Academy, so that probably resonates for his technical ability on the ball. Spent a couple of seasons at Fulham, so reasonable pedigree to add to Cannes background. I didn’t watch the first playoff match, but will try and watch over next couple of days.

There haven’t been too many inspired free agents coming out, not least ones we’d be top of the queue for. The obvious Mowatt and Fletcher sorts are courted by better clubs than us, and in Fletcher’s case, gone to Watford (now PL). We are looking in the right place (imho), just gotta get the right ones!

ciderwithtommy Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Last summer I said that it was Dickie > Mawson as although Alfie is a brilliant player at this level, his injury record was too big a risk. looking at Oxford fans online comments, they rate this guy more highly than Dickie, so for me it’s a “go get him”. 22 year old, will be hungry to prove himself, fresh ideas into the team, this is exactly the type I would go for! If we can add 3/4 hungry types and 2/3 “big names” then I think it’s starting to take shape. That said, this is going to take 2/3 seasons I think.

Pearson could possibly see him as a RB or a DM but until we either bring in 2 centre halves or a second RB, he is definitely in the equation. Get the argument Cundy is worth a look but Vyner has played 60+ games for us to his zero so think we know who is higher up the pecking order.

chipdawg Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 He sounds like he could be a good fit alongside Kalas, but he is inexperienced. If Moore stays on the outside looking in, it'd be good to get an experienced LCB in and then have Atkinson and Cundy rotating in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit worried about Dickie, bit slow on the turn, and a bit rash, but in fairness he improved as the season went on at QPR. Can take a bit of adjustment….so you have to allow for that. At 22, plenty of years in him, and if this is a genuine interest, then it’s the right type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonRobin21 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Excited by this. A centre-back who is actually comfortable with the ball at his feet, yes please. I would expect 2 CB's to arrive, but feel Atkinson could be a very good addition long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Robin Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Aerially dominant CB, left footed, good with at the ball with his feet, young with potential. Sounds like exactly the type of signing I'd like to see us make in defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have to remember they both looked very good at league one level when on loan. So I really hope the club choose the right one or two to come in. Better than Moore definitely but that is really harsh re Vyner, one of our top 3 performers last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the look of Elliott Moore at Oxford judging on stats and it’s also someone Pearson knows well and made him captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarumred Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 You could well be right, Jon, but we would need at least one experienced defender to take his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A relegated prem side who might sell one or two centre backs maybe. Or Bournemouth still with their parachute payments. Nige wants players to be earning more of a similar wage. I get the feeling it there is the opportunity to sell Kalas then he might take it. I’m not sure tbh. In my opinion it would feel like a step back. Kalas with a steady partner next to him and Bentley in goal is a solid foundation to build off. I like the idea of Kalas on the right and Atkinson on the left due to the balance and if the reviews on him are true then it sounds positive. 6’4 and can play out from the back. If he does sign and hit the ground running he could be worth a few bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he wants players on same wage etc Maybe he will put himself in the shop window at the Euros. Also wouldn’t surprise me if Taylor Moore went to Blackpool if they come up this season. I think we could be looking at 2/3 new CB’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
