We have 6 fullbacks in the 25 and 4 of them could leave in the summer, or before.
I suspect Bruno will get a new deal, but we need to be thinking about 2 new young fullback faces sooner rather than later.

It's such a tragedy that we have no young fullback faces in our U23s. Burn the Academy, I say!

We have no younger fullbacks with a fair amount of first team football league experience and that is the gap we need to fill.
The academy fullbacks are a stage behind this, but get them some loans out and they then come into the reckoning further down the line.
No need to burn down the academy yet - that is too much of a Croydon solution.

White? Hall? Barclay? They may (I don't know for sure) aspire to be CBs rather than FBs, but I'm pretty sure they've played as FBs in our Academy teams at some point. White certainly spent some of his time at Newport at RB.
It is also a not uncommon route for young defenders to follow - start off as full backs, and as and when they get older/wiser/stronger/cannier move to CB. Steve Cook is a good example.
Spoilsport!
Both need to go along with Bruno and the Greyhound. We need to move forward now.

i have to say i am bemused as to why suttner hasn't been given more opportunity. seemed decent to me before bernardo rocked up.
Burn was regularly playing left back with wigan
T'is funny, we still want even our transfer failures (not a failure) to play!!
We really must appreciate every singing, no matter how long it takes them to shine.

As we were in for Solanke, would appear we're after another striker ?

Why waste money on players we don’t need, save it for the real window in the Summer.
I'll quote this next time a player has the temerity to move to another club for a better contract and NSC goes into a loyalty melt down.
Kill two birds with one stone as you'll never guess who'll be leading the MELTSdown.

Nixon ( Sun ) - who called Button transfer before anyone else - says Luton want some young striker called ConnElly on loan.
I assume he means Connolly, although it could be a player from a different team ?

Not a bad option as a central midfielder rather than rightback, but that twitter account just makes things up anyway.

I'm surprised to see the price of Origi from Liverpool is being quoted as £15m with Solanke going for £18m. Origi is only 23, has played in the Premier and Champions Leagues and is a full international for Belgium, whereas Solanke has less than a 1000 minutes first team football at any senior level.

Thats a snip in my opinion if true, maybe because he isnt British.
If we were really after Solanke, then i hope we will be interested in Origi, far better player imo, admittedly thats from only seeing a little of both players.

England have been watching him.
We were heavily linked when he was at Gillingham. I like him.

Probably not, but if so it must be a recall-to-sell ?
