So far out hot transfer targets include a free transfer from Cheltenham, a centre back from Halifax Town and a 6ft 9 striker from Solihull Moors. Is this a race to the bottom for Town? I hope we have some quality lined up. Crying already? What about the links to Flemming, Mbosse, Mcatee, Brannagan, etc? What a fucking baby you are 😂😂😂 It is early days yet so no panic, but let's not think that links are the same as transfers, or did I miss Kevin Phillips playing for us.

Yeah like 12 months ago when you told us our shit transfers guaranteed league one status by now Yeah cos we're going to storm our way to the PL with this guy and the other 2, should they turn up. I sincerely hope when or if O'Brien is sold we use some of the brass to get some proper players in. Let's hope the lad from Manchester City comes as well. Even the most optimistic and chipper Town fan must be a little mystified by this one. You'd hope REG is capable of filling one of the centre back spots vacated by Colwill and Sarr. No he isn't cos he's right sided

Captain of his current club, knows Huddersfield as a club and good from set pieces. Thats a few positives.
I trust the research especially if he isnt first choice. Only thing that concerns me is the number of games hes played each season. Hopefully he isnt injury prone

Only thing that concerns me is the number of games hes played each season. Hopefully he isnt injury prone He played over 46 hours this season gone. Had some time out mid season but played every game for 90 minutes since mid January (except when he got sent off). Looks solid, as are Pearson and Lees. REG and, hopefully, Critchlow coming through to add some youth and pace, if they don't get loaned again.

dreadful signing.we had him before and let him go because he was rubbish.surely we can aim higher than league 2 and non-league players?! Well Cheltenham are in League 1. Hope to fuck our employees have more football knowledge than some on here jeez That wouldn't be too difficult 🤓

It's all about brass with Art . He will have done handstands when we signed mbenza . He still thinks that "free agents " are "free transfers" . He thinks sorba move worked to a point . Basically he's clueless Grow up lad. Of course players want paying, they will probably get higher signing on fees due to no transfer fee. Thomas is the most over rated player in The Championship, you know it as well as I do. Great dead ball delivery but no composure or end product in games. Let's hope he can improve that side then sell him on for some serious wonga. Aka set up more goals than any other town player both me or you have ever seen Meh

Thought it was quiet on the main board then remembered this crap seperate board existed At the time I type there are 135 out of 235 viewing the rumours board, versus 71 on the main board. Seems like most people can find it, and do regularly. At the time I type this, at least 135 out of 235 would likely rather it be on the main forum. Of course people will end up on it, just like i did. Id not clicked it in months, though. It's shite. A bad idea that has somehow been persevered with, out of stubborness.

Easy to say "downgrade on Sarr" but not really comparable. Sarr obviously wants more first team football and I would guess is on/looking for 2x the amount of boyle.
Pearson and lees will likely be our first names in, then there's hogg, and the young lads. Boyle is probably a very steady squad signing we hope we can get the best out of.

Not an overwhelming signing, but also a solid one. Has a lot of attributes that I like, big, leader, decent in the air, Towm academy.... I'm under no illusion that he should be near the back of pecking order but seems like a handy pickup.
Remember this time last year, we were berating the fact we were rumoured to be in for Lees, and look how that turned out.
In CC we trust!

I think the other thing people are forgetting is the character of the lads coming in, our biggest strength last season was, undoubtedly, our team spirit. We need lads that will buy in to what the club is trying to achieve.
Good luck, Will lad, all the best to you, seems a no-brainer to me, straight swap for Naby, on, I assume, less money, which will give us more to strengthen attacking areas.

A back three of Pearson, Lees and Boyle would be a pretty solid unit if we play 3 centre backs. As last season showed our defence is so much better, just the attacking options to consider as we will be a bit lacking in inspiration in midfield if O’Brien goes.
Early days.

I get what you're saying but you just can't fill the team with lower league cloggers because they are 'good characters'. I'm a good character but you wouldn't want me marshalling the back line. Just seems a cheap option to me. Sure he's pretty solid enough mind.

We'll be lacking in inspiration jf he stays, he's great running with the ball but he's not going to find a killer pass or score a worldie.

We need some recovery pace in there. Do we know Boyle is slow? Still young for a centre half and looks fairly trim. I don’t know either way but we need to see what pace he has before judging. Also Carlos tends to quicken ‘em a bit.

He was a marked man against Forest and maybe that just makes him the best of an average bunch but he looked the most likely to get us something from that game. I do agree we have missed an Eiting like player but O’Brien’s pace and engine scare the opposition.

I don’t know either way but we need to see what pace he has before judging. Also Carlos tends to quicken ‘em a bit. According to the Cheltenham journalist on the scouting report above he isn't. "In terms of his all-round defensive abilities he’s tall, strong, quick, mobile, organiser"

I get the feeling Russell's weaknesses will be a lot more visible when he leaves unless we recruit smartly
