Do we think transfers will be done quickly or dragged out right to last minute

I’d be fine with Boyle. He ticks a lot of boxes
Left footed centre back A big danger on set pieces - which are massive to how we play. I think we’ll be even better on these next year Cheltenham captain so seemingly a good pro and another leader/ good character in the dressing room Stepping up to join Town. This is the pinnacle of his career to date and he’s here to show he’s good enough to be here. Far better than journey men with big cvs who are here just for a pay check and play like they’re doing us a favour No fee involved Deal likely to be done so he can be in for the first day of preseason Got good reviews for Cheltenham fans prior to him not signing a new deal
He’s another lees, Nichols, ruffels, turton signing. Low fanfare but likely to be a good addition

I am all for giving any signing a chance, especially after last summer. But I genuinely think this would be a waste.

This was their opinion of him at the start of last season when he was linked to a move away 👇 www.robinsnestforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=29381Wonder why they've changed their opinion so much? It's not like he's had a poor season either because, as someone has pointed out, he came 3rd in their player of the season vote with 18% of the vote.

I will be more than happy to eat humble pie, but he is nowhere near as effective as Naby Sarr. As stated at the start of the thread, signing Boyle will only hinder Crichlow and REG. We need to focus elsewhere first. Because surely he wont be brought in as a starter? The budget would be better invested in a more needed area.

What would MK Dons supporters have said about us signing a keeper that couldn't make their first team? And I remember all the dummies being spat on here when we re-signed Ward. Opinions are like arseholes: Some of them end up stinking.

He only got benched because he was not signing a new contract. Lees had played all his career in the Campionship. Ward, I agree. My question is... Is Boyle better than what we have?

I don't think Boyle would be good enough I think most fans were guilty of these kind of comments last season (myself included) when we signed Nicholls, Turton, Ruffels, etc, from league 1. The Tom Lees rumour thread was particularly scathing at the time.

We need to focus elsewhere first. Because surely he wont be brought in as a starter? The budget would be better invested in a more needed area. We've just lost both of last season's left sided centre backs. Crichlow has returned to the club, which potentially fills one of those gaps but that still leaves another. It seems to me that: 1) The club rate Boyle highly enough to consider him first xi material, and/or are happy to have him and Crichlow competing for the LCB role. Or... 2) The club are not convinced that Crichlow is capable of effectively competing for a place, so they're replacing him with someone who they believe is an upgrade on him, and are looking to bring in another LCB in addition (and possibly releasing RC to make a career elsewhere). Whether Boyle and Crichlow are good enough is debatable (in both cases) but surely it's unarguable that bringing in somebody to play in that position is required.

He was at canalside last week, so I presume he is joining.
Give the lad a chance, he can sit on the bench as well as Naby has, or he may be good enough to start. Surely REG will be in the team, Pearson and Lees and maybe another loan signing and Hogg as 6 potential CBs.

Hoggy is no CB in my book, I just can’t see why we would persevere with that. Play to the man’s strengths.

REG is good on the ground but not great in the air, whereas Boyle is very good in the air and said to be decent on the ground. They play different positions so its unfair to compare one to the other. There might come a time when both are playing in the same team, but its unlikely they'll be directly competing with each other.

REG will 100% be in the first team, whether he will be starter or rotation remains to be seen but he has every chance.

We also forget REG played a majority of our games in the 20/21 season. He isnt exactly new to the championship.

I liked him as a centre back who was comfortable on the ball but I'm not convinced he's got what it takes to be a modern right back (who are more like wingers these days), so I'm interested in how Rotherham actually used him. Glad to have him back.

The game has developed and in some games two big lumps aren't necessarily your best option, plus Hogg is much better in possession with the play infront of him and has time. Not saying I necessarily disagree, but there are strong arguments that it's a useful ploy and does help with his primary weakness.

Glad to have him back. He played the vast majority of his games for them as the right sided CB of a back 3. So I imagine next season we’ll be looking at Right wing back: Pipa, Turton Right Centre Back: Pearson, REG Centre Back: Lees, Hogg Left centre back: New signing (Colwill replacement), Boyle (2nd choice) Left wing back: Toffolo, Ruffels

Teams do tend to highlight if he receives the ball with his back to goal press him as would say one of his main weaknesses is receiving the ball on the half turn,especially in tight areas. He has many attributes however recently his better performances in midfield have been when it’s been more of a backs to the wall type game.Could see him being used in a back 3 to be honest going forward.That said he keeps proving people wrong year on year.

He’s already 23 and I think it would suit him well to join an aspirational League 2 club, or, bottom half League 1 club to get his career kick-started. Re Rowe, due to his injury he’s not had much game time. I think a loan would do him the world of good, and reassess in Jan as to how he might contribute to the A team.
