Transfer Gossip

[Dr. Feelgood]

Interesting how, inside a week, almost everyone is writing Santos off.

I'm a critic of him tbh but this sweep-out seems dramatic.

Some have aired concerns on santos since day one, far too much smoke blown up his arse

Play Toal in his proper position and he'll be more than reet.

Correct. More than good enough at RCB, worked really well with Bradley in that position last year. Done his best on left but not his favoured place, also had weaker wing backs in front of him

He's either a 10/10 or a 5/10.

We need an 8/10 every week. Like Derby had.

Personally think Toal’s best position is in the middle of the 3 (although I do think he needs to bulk up a bit). He’s also a big talker on the pitch which I think is key for your central defender.

I’d prefer to see Santos with us next season, but I do think it’s the last chance we’ll have to cash in for anything half decent so it wouldn’t surprise me to see him go (and makes the change of captain easier - if you think that’s important, which I do).

If that was the case then I think a back 3 of Forester/Jones, Toal, Johnston would be good enough. Albeit that is purely on paper and considering each of them individually, there’d be big questions about how well Johnston comes back and whether Forester is ready to be a starter - plus whether they can play together.

Wouldnt mind seeing an older more experienced head added to the mix as well to give a different option.

Assuming Johnston's fit to start, I'd be okay with that

[Jol_BWFC]

As pointed out above, he can be 10/10 or 5/10.

If we can find a way to get him to be consistent, I’m very much in the keep him camp. We need a better LWB, but with the back line below, we’re more than good enough to keep the clean sheets we need to get out of this division.

Defences win titles.

 

                     Baxter

        Toal      Santos    Johnston

JDC (or Jones)                              LWB

Did you see the one Craig North posted on his group the other day 

He's either on crack or refusing to pick the black lads

We need to move on from Jones. We need better. He's losing his pace and he's not a good defender.

He’s not losing pace at 28 he’s had virtual season playing out of position, much better at right wing back, he’s more than adequate as a right wingback at this level.

Don't tend to get to international level and be a poor player

Give the lad a break, he’s one of us & a White through & through.

Posts some great info for awaydays tickets/travel/pubs etc.

Why do we always knock our own?

[Zog1]

4 at the back for me

 

Jones/Dacres-Cogley, Santos/Forrester, Johnson/Toal, Williams/Iredale

 

Plenty of cover and more than good enough for League 1.

He might provide info (which tbf the club does anyway) when you say something he doesn’t agree with you get banned

[Kane57]

Plus I heard he licks windows for pleasure 

[gonzo]

Ex BNP isn't he?

[tomski]

Sounds like Trafford is gonna get a decent move. Linked with Chelsea and Newcastle. Laughable that some suggested he should of gone to the championship.

Not sure if it will have a knock on but I’m worried we will lose Baxter

[radcliffe white]

Didn’t have the best defence in front of him but he looked lost at times

If a keeper isn't going to command his area like Trafford hasn't learned to do you need a centre back to take the lead, Santos was doing that for him whilst he was here. The Burnley defence was at 6s & 7s all the time even after Traf was dropped his replacement was making even worse howlers

Yeah and quite active before being booted I think. 
 

anyone saying “he’s a white so it’s ok” is a mentalist. 
 

the way people hang on him reposting stuff is embarassing
