A keeper? I do find that weird.

Nick Pope

Please no. Finished at anywhere near the level he was. Doesn’t catch it anymore. Can’t kick.

Seems to fit our goalkeeping profile.

Jeremy Dale says we are still looking at a few to bring in

Three I reckon - 10, LW and a CM

Idea this season is a smaller squad (which CD himself said in an interview in Portugal) as it’s easier to keep people happy if you’ve got less being left out of the matchday 20 altogether

The Paul Mitchell template that is, or as I remember it being described as in the nufc blog I linked

Deals off. Failed medical because Gelhardt refused the cough and drop test.

Yeah, that's all we need.

Unless something changes where we get a raft of outgoings but I can't see that happening either.

Ducksch going wouldn't be a surprise of course - and the best thing for Buchanan would be a loan, but apart from that...

Three good players for the positions mentioned and we would have a strong looking squad - should be well capable of challenging over the season.

I think we’ll get by at right back unless Laird goes ping. I’d love another, a better ball player and carrier than BOS. I’m not keen on him

It would therefore be helpful if people both on here and on that hellhole site could use a bit of critical thinking to shut him down, instead we get grown adults acting like kids desperate for a grain of possible info.

Think this is bang on, I imagine the club are all in on Osman but have people like clear etc as back up incase the deal for Osman just doesn’t happen.

Don’t forget the grown adults trying to prove their superiority to those not sufficiently well informed.

I can see a RB swap with BOS leaving if an offer comes in that suits all parties and as long as we can replace. But doesnt seem the priority.

I think this is the case. But the back up option(s) are quite far down the line already and ready to move quickly. Just have to wonder how patient those options will be. Especially with other clubs wanting to get it done sooner.

It’s only a joke I’m sure people won’t really lay that on you.
I think people just need to realise we’ll get who we get. In January 99% knew nothing of Osman and now 99% of us are sure he’s exactly who we need.
There’s plenty of blokes who are decent at knocking a ball about in the world.

It’s all just exciting. Even if it ends in disappointment. It’s like reading a good book that doesn’t end exactly how you wanted it to.

Oh I agree it’s exciting and I know why people are into it

Sadly though I’ve seen that so many people don’t get stuff on here is unserious at times. Based on the amount of times I see cropped images of this forum on X regrettably I have to be a clean shirt.

So Osman, Gelhardt and Jack Taylor then.

Would Mazwi be used as the “ball playing” midfield backup with an injured Paik?

I think all you have to do is constantly remind you that transfer rumours are exactly that rumours. Hearsay, active bullshittery etc.pp. There are some posters here whose opinion and insights interest me more than others but in the end, I am fully aware that even those can just miss or not have the complete picture. Is speculating about transfers fun? Sure, it can be. But sometimes I really wonder if some people like the transfer window more than actual football.
