hinsleburg Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Fair play to our resident 'ITK' @Bcfcshags who said earlier this week we were in talks for a Championship CB. Seems like it would be a really sensible signing on paper! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliOTIB Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Presume this either means that O’Brien isnt happening or Kalas hasnt agreed his deal - would suggest the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 I like this one, particularly as it seems the longer we go with no deal, unlikely Kalas signs on. Always struck me as a good character, good experience at this level but not too old and big/dominant. Lot to like on paper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Like Bryan I'm not sure how this fits into our supposed signing model but would seem a good addition. Do we have to wait until big Rob Atkinson is fit to play him so we can unite the Oxford Two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it would be a really sensible signing on paper! Got to admit it wasn’t who I thought it might be. Thought it might be another ex-Oxford CB…Luke McNally. Interesting signing. I see him very much like the right sided version of Rob Atkinson. Was a bit error-prone when he first signed but grew into life in the Championship and at 27 has his peak years now / ahead of him. With only a year left on his contract you can see why QPR might want to cash in. Plus that ability on the ball gives us scope to play from the back with Big Rob inured. Dickie likes to stride forward, although probably a little more elegant than Rob who’s more powerful in his dribbling. Good in the air, at 6’4”(ish) he is good in both boxes. O’Rourke isn’t as reliable these days as he was in his Sky days, but he’s not just proclaiming interest, but in talks. Nice bit of intrigue for a Friday evening. Would be a good fit imho.

Actually it does fit Nige’s utterances that we need some experience and leadership alongside the young guns , see us through some sticky situations , always rated the guy , happy if it happens 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rs Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 If this is true would suggest the end of Kalas’ journey at BCFC. Would be sad to see him go but I think this guy seems a sound replacement which hopefully won’t cost too much. One that very much isn’t the already established prime championship CB but has all the makings of one. Can easily see people looking back on this in a years time as either a complete steal or a massive flop if he can’t regain confidence.

Jeez Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Would be a good signing / sensible target for us, good age & size with 3 seasons of championship experience. A decent CB & reckon Kalas is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonRobin21 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 This would be a good deal. Only 12/18 months ago he was being considered as one of the best defenders in the league. Has been playing in a poor side. I think he would do well for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted June 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Just for balance Dickie had a truly terrible season at QPR & was badly lacking confidence. Can see the logic but he’s coming off a season of real struggle. More a team mate of Mark Sykes than Rob Atkinson by the way, Rob very much a bit part player In Dickie’s last season at Oxford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
