No idea how reliable but rumour on Twitter Redmond wants to return to Besiktas.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
When we were linked with BBD I though it was underwhelming but recognised we were shoty up top. I certainly don't see him as starting material in the prem but he may be a better attacking otion than JayRod.randomclaret2 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 1:40 pmI see nothing in Brereton's career to suggest he'll be a Premier League striker...he had one good season at Blackburn.

Can’t blame Redmond can’t imagine he thought he was going to be a bench warmer at best this season

Re: January transfer window rumours.
Redmond one no surprise but he has been good the few times he played.
For all the air of confidence he gives off, I do wonder if Kompany is comfortable managing (and disciplining at times) players only a few years younger than he is. He claims he is, but he turns down chance after chance to sign or play older players with pedigree, in favour of younger ones who often don’t cut it. I can’t figure it out, when the team cries out for experience at times.

Don’t blame Redmond 1 bit for wanting a move. He’s been vastly underused.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
Redmond has been poor when played brought on to impact games he doesn't
Sell him on we can do better
Let's not forget we are Premier league and still a draw.Some of the posters on here behave like we are back in the 80s when players did give us the knock back.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
He's played 130 minutes for us. He's had no opportunity to impact games because he's hardly been on the pitch, but even in the small amount of times I've seen him he hasn't been "poor".Woodleyclaret wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 5:31 pmRedmond has been poor when played brought on to impact games he doesn't

Re: January transfer window rumours.
I've commented on this to a friend recently. Another of couple of things that back that up imo:CrosspoolClarets wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 3:08 pmRedmond one no surprise but he has been good the few times he played.

His own comments: I seem to remember him doing an interview where he talked about his preference for working with young players etc.
The video of that rollicking he gave out when at Anderlecht, just didn't seem like the kind of thing older players would respond too.
The fact he's tried to ween out some of the more experienced players. Brownhill, Taylor etc but eventually had to use them, but it didn't seem to be his initial preference.
Obviously it could be nonsense but it's possible he finds younger players easier to manage/mould with his style, whereas maybe Dyche would have struggled more with a younger player but got the type of application he wanted from a more senior pro. I think it's an interesting discussion.

Be interesting to see whether VK goes for either.
Tbh he could probably get Spence on a pretty cheap deal

Re: January transfer window rumours.
Roberts is a dead wierd one. His record in the championship is pretty special but he just can’t quite make the step up.
Got to imagine VK would want to keep him around just for next season if nothing else

Re: January transfer window rumours.
He is a weird one because underwhelming when he signed but a number of factors, his health and our squad at the time and seemed like he struggled to settle outside of wales.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 9:34 pmRoberts is a dead wierd one.

Wasn’t great before the World Cup last season but then from world up onwards he was probably the best full back in the league, he will probs jump at a move to Leeds
Re: January transfer window rumours.
Roberts is a rubbish defender with decent technical ability. We got away with him in the champ because he didnt have to defend much, hes a car crash at this level. We desperately need a right back so selling Roberts makes total sense.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
Would be sad if Roberts goes-he had some cracking games last season and cant but feel he has been made to pay by VK for his sending off earlier this season. Can only assume we have a stellar RB lined up, because for me Vitinho has too many off days
Re: January transfer window rumours.
Or he’s being made to pay for the fact he’s been tripe all season, the sending off was just the icing on a foul tasting cake. After 3 different managers, 2 PL seasons, my verdict is he’s simply not at the required standard.warksclaret wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 10:10 pmcant but feel he has been made to pay by VK for his sending off earlier this season.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
No problem losing Roberts as long as we upgrade that position. Arguably our most vital position to upgrade. Lost track of the games where opponents have lumped it into that area of the pitch to target our main weakness.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
He was bought to replace Lowton who i thought at the time was playing better than him, they thought they were upgrading, wrong!
Passengers galore at this level, add to that Brownhill and Vitinho. Effectively playing with nine able men when they all play as they just dont do anything much but run around, Vintinho does occasionally make a good run forward but inevitably loses the ball somewhere dangerous making him worse than Brownhill at that as then he is totally out of position somewhere up the field.
If we can strengthen those positions we have a chance of staying up in two seasons time if we yo yo.
Its a shame VK didnt realise this before the season started as i predicted if we didnt strengthen centre midfield in its entirety we would likely get relegated.
He had too much confidence in Cullen also but even he is now dropped.
Why didnt Jackson tell him? makes me wonder what the communication is like at the training ground.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
I know his sub appearances have been Vydra esque but i remember one instance where he passed the ball meekly out of play to no one, it was in front of bob lord, obviously didnt impress VK, who seems to make his mind up about players and doesnt give them chance to get back in once his mind is made up.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 2:39 pmCan’t blame Redmond can’t imagine he thought he was going to be a bench warmer at best this season
Looks like the MUD super computer has realised we have a stupid amount of left wingers.
Re: January transfer window rumours.
Yep but i doubt he was brought in by Dyche, for one he never played him and two he couldn't be any less of a Dyche type player. Not often Dyche ended up hauling a full back off because they were getting the run around like he did against Richarlison for Everton at home.Superjohnnyfrancis wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 12:10 amHe was bought to replace Lowton who i thought at the time was playing better than him, they thought they were upgrading, wrong!

Jackson obviously had 0 faith in him either, which showed when he stuck Collins at RB and Roberts RW for our relegation decider v Newcastle.
So its a fair point you make there, I initially thought Jackson was there out of loyalty from Pace but Kompany has mentioned that he is the guy who coaches the defence so he obviously has more input than id have expected. That worries me slightly because Im not sure he really has the credentials to be coaching a Premier League back 4 and the evidence suggests the same.
Re: January transfer window rumours.
Not really related, but saw that there were 333 replies.
Now that conjures up images of the past.
Still shows just how far we have come from those days.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
In todays football the way the fullbacks play have a major impact on games eg TAA and Robertson,our fullbacks are probably the weakest part of our team,they need upgrading.Superjohnnyfrancis wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 12:10 amHe was bought to replace Lowton who i thought at the time was playing better than him, they thought they were upgrading, wrong!

Re: January transfer window rumours.
We need four new full backs.
Re: January transfer window rumours.
The consensus I’ve seen about Spence is that he thinks he’s a right Charlie Big Potatoes and has quite an abrasive personality.
I’m not sure he’s a good fit. Weghorst mk2 with less pedigree to back it up.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
I think Roberts is more in the mould of Taylor and is a traditional RB. It's been harsh to judge him on the role VK has wanted him to play this season, especially in the best league in the world.warksclaret wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 10:10 pmWould be sad if Roberts goes-he had some cracking games last season and cant but feel he has been made to pay by VK for his sending off earlier this season.

Re: January transfer window rumours.
Not sure why Egan-Riley doesn't get a try at right back if he's fit but for me I'd move Beyer to right back he'd be more suited to the role VK wants to play then put a better defender such as Ekdal at centre back

Be sad to see Roberts go. He has a brilliant engine, has loads of experience and isn’t afraid to stand up for himself. Another of our international defenders who can’t get a game.
If he is replaced we need an experienced defender, not some flyweight that the software recommends as good value

So take our best centre back and play him right back? Yeah can’t see that happening.
Re: January transfer window rumours.
I thought VK had brought him back in from the cold after his serious illness ,and he did well as an inverted fullback but for some reason seemed a bit of a loner and never looked particularly happy ,he’s probably even more unhappier now he’s not really get much of a look in.
Re: January transfer window rumours.
He's been out worst centre back this season and by some margin. I loved Beyer last season and thought he'd step up the easiest but he's been a long way off defensively.colne-claret wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 1:01 pmSo take our best centre back and play him right back? Yeah can’t see that happening.
