urgent Center Back search?

urgent Center Back search?

Postby George Dawes » Sun Aug 05, 2018 8:50 am

just been looking on lists of free agents, and to be fair theres not a lot of choice? and probably why Jim is actually struggling to bring somebody in?


it might be we'll have to get some youngster on loan from a premier league or championship club like we did with was it Whitmore from Burnley?


it is a concern, any ideas names?

Carlisle are hoping to sign a central defender this week so they will be above us in the pecking order of available players :(

Interesting that Jamie Devitt seems to be out of favour with the new Carlisle manager John Sheridan , maybe Jim should have suggested a swap/loan between Campbell and Devitt.

Was injured during a pre season trial game under former Bury manager Flitcroft now at Mansfield BUT read somewhere that he's a history of injuries which have blighted his career and it's now reckoned that the rigours of F/T football are too much for him and that playing and training full time are not an option anymore.

Why is it urgent? Shouldn't this have been sorted earlier? If Jim was hoping to wing it with Old and Lavelle then it has gone tits up. Poor planning.

Simple, money. They’ve been in for half a dozen centre backs, can’t pay what they demand, they go elsewhere.

He can't be forced to go anywhere that he doesn't want to.

I agree!

But plenty on here repeatedly say that budget constraints have nothing to do with poor performances. They expect Ferrari performance at White Lund prices.

Unfortunately, on Saturday, we got Kenny Allen performances from most of the team!

We could of course pay up his contract. I'll start it off with a tenner... :o ;)

think ive seen him once at the Globe, in a rare reseve game for me and thinking there were about 3 of the young lads what looked like they could go on and make it, and a defender was one of them?

Decent signing but we must also sign a centre half if possible

Accy are after two centre backs, no joy, as they have money to spend but can’t get anyone in.
As I have already posted, we have missed out on at least half a dozen centre backs according to JIm and Ken, as we can’t meet their wage demands so they have gone elsewhere.
It’s not ideal, but if we can’t afford them, and Accy have money and cant find them, and others have turned us down as we are too far north, it may be a while.

Radio Lancs seem confident that we will have a new central defender tomorrow. let's hope so, but no confirmation or names mentioned so far.

Play Oliver as a central Defender. He's good at clearing the ball away from goal.

Can't be any worse than he is up front.....can he?

I so wanted him to succeed last season even to the point of being blind to his short comings, but enough is enough.
