The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[AndyWolves]

Man city centre mid. Was on loan at sheff United last season and did pretty well by all accounts

 

[Butters]

I don't like pointy nips.

Watched that earlier. Some lovely vision with the passes and looks great on the ball

Assuming we get Scott I can’t see us signing another midfielder with gaping squad holes elsewhere.

I'd agree. Doyle might well have been our Scott alternative.

 

[Lycan]

Scott & Doyle are quite different players. Doyle would be more of a Neves replacement whereas Scott will play further forward. Definitely room in the squad for both.

I rate Doyle btw, quality all round midfielder, got so much to his game.

 

[C.L.D]

Just funny that the one part of the squad we have decent players in is centre mid and most of the players we've been linked to play there.

 

[From Distant Shores]

Looking at it another way. If Gomes and Nunes come good, they could both be gone in a couple of years so we'd better start the process of bringing on their replacements. Brighton are good at this, MacAllister was brought in quite a while before he was a first team regular.

You would have to think that the chances of Doherty signing here are receding . It's not as if we're mad keen to get him on the basis that he's a great prospect like Gomes or Scott .
It's not as if he's holding out for more either . I'd imagine our offer ( if we even made one or was it all just Mendes generated news ) is a modest one as it would be for a back up player and it's a take it or leave it one .
We can't offer him first team football either which is what he's want .

The last time I saw him play was for Ireland v Greece , where he looked no way near match fit and looked disinterested as well .

Like the look of Scott in that clip . It's only a small sample at a lower level , but I like the way we are chasing a talent and not letting someone else do it . Get him now for 20-25 mill rather than 40m in a few years .

Scott looks a similar player to Nunes in style and position IMO. I don't think he looks like a No.10.

The Nunes we saw last season or the Nunes at Sporting?

I don't think you could get away with playing Scott in a double pivot at this stage. I could see him in a 3 man midfield, on either wing or behind the striker.

 

[Greenfield Wolf]

Areola ?

 

[Dire Wolf]

Who dat?

He's a 6 foot 7 backup offensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills...

I have a feeling this might not be the same Tommy Doyle.

I feel like this too. Both have very similar strengths and it feels like they would want to operate in the same way. Maybe it would work in a 433 with one holding player.

 

[Bertiewolf]

Based on the two occasions I saw Doyle against Wrexham in the FA Cup last season, he's punching at Championship level!!

I didn't watch those games but he had a brilliant season for Sheffield United last year.

 

[Stan Hullis]

I don’t think any of the Sheff Utd players really shone in those games, apart from maybe Billy Sharp at a push. Only because he scored though.

He's a bit Harry Winks for me. Doesn't excel at anything and not particularly athletic.

I don't think we need him.

Agreed. Hope he's one of our "back up" options, should Scott fail, rather than a first choice target.
