However, Premier League defenders tend to have pace these days (coupled with good passing ability), if not they're easily exposed.
Being a committed defender in the Premier League isn't enough on its own.
This tweet says we are in advanced phases to sign Ali Al-Hammadi on loan from Ipswich, so maybe that was the “Ali” we were looking into and not AdeleQuote:

True but if someone wants to pay us money for him then that's their problemQuote:

Given the way Bulut likes to play Ng is not the quick overlapping full back needed.
Only keep him if we play 3 centre backs, i still maintain he is better in a back 3.
Think the club’s intention has been to sell Ng this summer (it’s like in the Ridsdale days when we’d always sell one or two players for big money to cover transfer expenditure), but there doesn’t seem to have been any interest in him. I did read on social media about interest in Goutas, but I’ve no idea how true it was.
My reply was to a poster who said that before his injury McGuiness was the only player who looked like he could play at a higher level. I disagreed with this remark and still do.Quote:

Fascinating. Well worth a thread of its own instead of a post in the transfer rumours thread.
Says a lot about the state of this squad.Quote:

I wonder if he is a realtive of Jason McAteer , looking on X theres a lot of positive news stories, he did have some past promising story lines about his skills , lets see what happens next , so many of these young lads fade away .
A bid in for Macca apparently.

Understand Cardiff have received a sizeable bid for McGuiness
Abbandonato saying the bid is 'already £5m but Cardiff will want more'Quote:

£5 million would be an incredible price given what McGuinness has actually achieved. I like him, he’s probably my favourite player in the current squad, but that’s more down to his attitude than his abilities.Quote:

Player of the season At Sheffield Wednesday, high endorsements by numerous managers, consistent performances in a struggling side before his injury ,and recognition by Republic of Ireland U-21’s probably has something to do with it.Quote:

McGuinness wasn't the Player of the Year at Sheffield Wednesday in 2022/23. That was Liam Palmer.Quote:

I’d keep McGuinness, if he’s rated at £5M now, a successful season challenging around the top six and he’d be worth twice thatQuote:

In an ideal world the club would keep all three, but as soon as Chambers was mentioned as a serious transfer prospect I felt we'd probably see either McGuinness or Ng leave (depending on where Bulut intends to play Chambers).Quote:

McGuinness was Sheffield Wednesday’s player of the month twice. Why do you feel the need to exaggerate his achievements?Quote:

The Loner Gunman.:hehe:
As a reminder... we signed Gary Madine for £6M.Quote:

Loner Gunman strikes again :thumbup:
When I said 'make some random shit up,' I wasn't talking exclusively about this thread. I've noticed it's something you tend to do quite often.Quote:

Much as I like the player, I don't recall that being the case. So who are these guys and what did they say?
