2023/24 Tom Cannon

[Charles Hawtrey]

TBH I think he is past a championship loan. I would maybe send him on loan to Belgium or Holland, maybe PSV and see if he can improve other parts of his game there. If he comes back better for it he might be in with a shout for us or command a higher fee.

Kevin's kid is already 23 and not hit more than 9 goals for Stoke over a season. That would be an odd signing.

Archer has 6 goals in 11 England u21 games which probably pushed up his value.

Zat you are age obsessed.

Campbell is 23 , Alzate 25 and they are too old?

They may or may not be good enough but too old at those ages is just bizarre.

What we're hearing our side is you're absolutely selling him this summer. You turned down a loan from Preston because there's teams interested in a fee for him.

Us and Boro are interested apparently. Maybe other teams. Everyone was waiting for you to get a replacement in the door.

 

[John from Bootle]

A year younger than archer and very similar stats in the same league.

I'd loan him, let him have a full season on the Championship and if he can get another 10/15 goals he'll go for double what we'll likely be offered now.

Yeah, might come in handy if we get relegated, an extra 6 million. Would rather we just did everything possible to strengthen the squad for this season.

Hopefully we can get a buy back option. Not gonna lose any sleep over it though. We've lost far better players/prospects than this lad.

Happy to explain why.

If we signed a 23 year old or a 25 year old from europe or South America / Asia then he may be an unknown quantity or someone who can make the step up to the premier league.

Alzate is a colombian half a dozen games international who is from London. Played for Leyton Orient, Swindon, Brighton u23s and Standard Liege.

Hardly the profile at 25 (next week) that deems him a quality player.

Brighton are loaning him until his contract expires. Its not even like Maupay where we paid £12mil....this boy is being ejected with no parachute.

Campbell is 23 and even the stoke fan forums say he has 1 good game in 5. Hes also failed as a CF and been shifted out to the wing...best hes done is 9 goals which is less than id expect from Simms or Dobbin in the championship.

If they were both 18-21 there may be some development work which could be done to improve them...not at 23 and 25 looking at players not good enough at this level.

Drogba was cleaning windows at 23.

Read my opening paragraph. If from overseas then ok. Not having been poor in England in comparison to premier league regulars.

One good game in five if they're lucky - most of them think he's a donkey.

Difference is that these two are both playing at clubs where theyve not stood out at all.

….posted this in the transfer thread, Middlesborough fans think a deal has been agreed with them;

That's legit - Middlesbrough not the only club who've met our valuation though

 

[Infernus]

Wants to leave for first team football according to The Bobble. Norwich have bid 7 Million. I don't know why we don't just sell and put in a buy-back clause like City do with pretty much everyone
