Nice article about Ed Turns on The Argus. Not seen enough of him to judge, could he make the grade? Ready for a loan?

Was forming a very impressive CB pairing with Tsoungui until the latter's long term injury. Only 19, so time is on his side - loan out next season for my money.

Tsoungui did look impressive from the bits I saw. Do we know how his recovery is going?

Saw him against Swansea. IIRC I think he was technically very good but a little small.

The problem is more that we've sold TWO good centre backs this season and replaced them with Shane Duffy and all the inconsistencies that come with that.

Is he better than Roberts, Offiah, Clarke, Ostigaard, Dendonker, Van Hecke? I don't think I'll ever find out.

Two good centre backs sold? BDB and ....?

Do we know which of these are better than the others (leaving aside Offiah, who's always been playing RB when I've seen him)?

No, I haven't seen anything. IIRC, at the time the suggestion seemed to be that he'd likely be out for the season.

I prefer Gross Turns...

Also saw him vs Swansea, looked a very intelligent player, seemed to read the play well but still raw, naturally. Next step is getting him out on loan surely

Some lad we got from Leeds and sold to Arsenal.

You know that lad who Arsenal paid more for , than the club had previously been paid in all its previous outgoing deals combined ( apparently)

Oh him .................

I thought he'd gone before the season started. :shrug:

Baldseagull · Mar 1, 2022

My reckoning is that Clarke and Van Hecke are the most likely to be in our squad next season, I think Ostigard will be off, too aggresive, and not prepared to be a bit part player and work his way in it seems, but he will have a good career when he gets a bit better control of himself, Roberts and Dendonker for the future still, with Roberts most likely to make the grade.

Well, he definitely was with us last season, and I think most people consider the summer window as one of two windows in a season.

According to the S/T holder behind me, Offiah is a winger. :facepalm:

Certainly a pretty speedy RB/RWB!

Everyone. Seeing as the summer transfer window opens long after the previous season ends and shuts after the current season has begun.

From the little that l've seen of him, l very much like the look of young Ed Turns.

Then again, he is probably unfortunate in that he plays as a centre back, surely our best served, and most competive position on the pitch. He has so many good players, and young wannabees, to beat in order to get much more than just a sniff of first team action.

I wish you well Ed, but it's going to be far from easy.
