The first thing the recruitment team should do is look at what fans think of players. The chances of a player being good when their fans say they're poor is minimal.
Lees was good five or six years ago. He isn't now according to Massive fans.
Add in injuries, inability to play out from the back, salary etc, then enough said.

Whoever we get, we need some pace, some height & some leadership qualities

Bromby should create an account on here, list our targets and sign them depending on the like to dislike ratio  I recall when I first arrived on this site & people were demanding en masse that we sign Nile Ranger. I know our recruitment has been hit & miss lately, but some of the stuff on here makes me relieved that we have Leigh Bromby!I'll reserve judgment until August on that one Tinpot |

60 likes  I wonder how many the "No interest in Duane Holmes" post would have got? |

With our lack of available funds I think we’re more likely to get a Loan Ranger. |

Would be better back up than Sarr. His showing against Fleetwood was truly horrendous.

Wonder if he is coming into the Keogh role? Got a lot of centre halves. I’d rather play REG than Lees.

To be fair, if our CB options consisted of Pearson, Lees, Colwill, Sarr, Edmonds-Green, I think that is fairly solid. Nice mix of experience and youth, and ball-playing ability with physicality.

I wonder if Sarr doesn’t want to be reserve and got a move

A while back Maynard said there was no truth in the Tom Lees rumours so something must have happened for the club to change their mind?
Maybe a loan for Critchlow to get game time and an experienced back up brought in.

Only makes sense if a young lad is off out on loan or if Sarr has got a move.

Maybe CC has decided he wants to play 3-4-3... in which case this would make a little bit of sense.

I know people aren't happy about this but to be fair to him, his goal in the playoff semi final was instrumental to our promotion to the Premier League.

You can see where the talk is coming from, a player looking for a club who probably dose not want to move far from where he has lived his life. Marry this with our defensive weaknesses and hey presto you have a story.
We also have a history of signing centre backs towards the end of their playing carrier and it appears a probability.
For :- he has not played for us previously
Experienced
Against :- Bad year for him and the club last season
I would want someone with a few more years left in the tank. There is always the exception to that, a striker we would not pay for because he was too old and ended up playing for England and Liverpool.

Im fine with it so long as its a 1 year deal with Critchlow and Olegunju going out on loan for a season.

The only way this makes any sense to me is if it's on a low cost 1 year deal as cover for Pearson & REG is getting a loan to play more regular first team football in League 1.

Bad as Sheff Wednesday were last season, their defensive record was considerably better than ours. Their bigger issue was in finding the net.

I can't see him agreeing to a one year deal and we have given three year deals away to others who by the majority of reports on these pages, most would not have been so lenient. |
