samarium62 Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 Assuming we don't sell Fofana without some idea of a replacement, are there any solid targets at CB we could move on now that it looks like Colwill to Brighton is confirmed? I've heard Oumar Solet suggested, but only know that he plays for Salzburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need time to get up to EPL standard BUT definitely worth a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you watch, and the game seems to be played at a slow pace, his long Crossfield balls are far too well flighted, and the final balls are just too short of pace or take the forward away from where he wants to be. He is too inclined to shoot for the near post and when he does shoot across the keeper he struggles to start the ball far enough away from the keeper and be able to bring the ball back in with spin. At 18, he is a prospect and he will develop, surprisingly he physically looks like a seasoned pro, and we would have the RW/LW option taken care of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 Got a feeling if Fofana does go we'll sign Tapsoba. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StonyFox Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 (edited) Conor Coady if Fofana goes? seems he's on the way out of wolves so could be cheap. Also adds more leadership to the team with Kasper now gone, especially if we think Evans will struggle to play all 38 games.

ronnup Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 Where they getting rid of Coady? He's good in 3 bur I really hope that's not the plan for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
when_you're_smiling Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 Think Coady’s reported to be off to Everton. The other one who could be available after being dropped from the first team is Mings. I’d rather Coady than Mings to be honest. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's massively patched up by Wolves playing as negatively as they do. Another for us I wonder is Attila Szalai. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav_LCFC14 Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 That 2nd paragraph is a gut punch. What is the club thinking. Start terminating contracts and pay them off its FFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 Coady would be a horrid signing. Mings wouldn't be much better but at least is left-footed and a good athlete whereas Coady is slow, poor in the air and would be ruthlessly exposed in any team who don't defend deep in a 5.

As he said on the forum interview last week - we aren’t bringing anyone in - soumare, praet , Perez will have to play a decent squad role if we can’t get them sold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, he's left-footed, a good athlete, a leader, and his height would be an asset at set-pieces. I’d have Mings here no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 Coady & Mings wouldn’t fit our style of play, neither are progressive defenders in terms of passing & ball carrying, two attributes that we usually look for in defenders. Out of British defenders, Adam Webster would be the most ideal fit, doubt he’d be attainable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Swansea like to play out from the back nowadays, Cabango is not a bad shout. I see Russell Martin was quick to bin off Ryan Bennett though in his system 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 what are everyone’s thoughts on sarr? I know we wanted him badly before chelsea got him, I think any judgement on his time their is probably unfair given where he was played. I’m sure fofana wouldn’t be a great left back either. everytime i think about fofana leaving, my concern is always how do we find a good replacement with so little time. So an ideal scenario would be chelsea loaning us a player with their wages out of our hands. He’s probably more of the finished article than colwill already and we can probably insert a buy option for around 12m as that’s what was asked of monaco. The thought of a 75m war chest and the replacement already locked down excites me tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
