The 2016 Official Silly Summer Season Transfer Thread

[bill taylors apprentice]

Stearman is what around 6ft 2 / 6ft 3? I know its pahysical league but a lad that size and with his build should be able to cope.

Madl I tend to agree with if he had someone similar build next to him, but with a regualt partner of Stearmans size I think it could turn out ok, as I say I think.

We have what 4 CB's now? Stearman, Madl, Ream and Bourderov thats without the youngsters, where as last year I think we had 6 plus the youg guns, so maybe these guys will gain confidence in the fact that they are first choice and will play like they are first choice. Just hoping as we have not been linked with any centre backs as yet.

Firstly Bodurov seems to be out of the equation now and secondly I bought Stearmans shirt when the British Legion were auctioning the Poppy shirts and I was amazed at how small it was.

I appreciate footballers are more athletic and leaner than the past but his shirt was a medium and confirmed to me he was lightweight for this league.

Not arguing, just thought he did well at Wolves, everyone was on this board praising the signing when it happend. As confirmed by Statto and the offal he is around 11st 9 which surprised me as that's lighter than me. But he is 6ft 2 (190cm in new money) which is an adequate height for a centre back, not overly tall but adequate

Fulham should announce Odoi soon and have had a bid accepted for McDonald. Hendrick bid has been rejected

[westcliff white]

Odoi was reported on Saturday in Belgium as a done deal, infact my colleagues there are surprised it hasn't been announced. I had a chat with one which I put on this thread, but also spoke to another and he said Odoi has always rated highly in Belgium, went of the boil a bit but has resurrected himself at Lokeren. He is about 5ft 8/9 but very slight, good going forward and disciplined at the back. He carried on to say his size is the only thing against him coming to the championship. In my opinion people can work on Physical strength in the gym so hopefully this is a good signing.

RE: Stearman's build.

It's not just weight and size, you can be lighter than most but lack explosive power that comes from muscle strength itself.

You've got to know how to use that power and balance is equally needed. You could be a giant but be like bambi on ice.

Don't think too much about what it says on the scales/measuring stick.

Stearman is another player that is inconsistent - Has some great games and looks a leader then next he can be easily exposed. That's the same review most Wolves fans gave when he was sold.

Don't look like he will be coming to us then.

Derby have rejected a £3m bid from #BurnleyFC for midfielder Jeff Hendrick. Derby insist he is not for sale #dcfc

Apparently just rejected a second bid from Burnley..

Would rather have Odoi than Malone, Been impressed with what i've seen of Odoi on youtube and from what I've heard from Lokoren fans. Not seen any negative comments.

[HillingdonFFC]

McDonald pictured  training with Wolves  so doesn't look like this is happening today then

Do this mean we are not going to sign Odoi?

I think there should be a seperate thread for the Stearman/Madl, weight/height discussion, It's getting very boring. Lets just discuss transfers and rumours please.

I think it is relevant as it impacts potential signings, that is what was being discussed in that bit of the thread. basically do we need another CB or are what we have good enough as in imposing, physically up to it etc and ther reduce number of CB's will that focus what we have more knowing they willg et a run in the team.

[Lighthouse]

Interesting that Scott Malone is disliked by both Fulham and Cardiff fans.  At last a bit if consistency by fans in a potential signing.

Think we probably need two left backs as we only have Kavanagh at the moment

[westcliff white]

Odoi can play both sides

Kevin McDonald is being chased by a number of clubs, not just Fulham. Kenny Jackett has confirmed that the player is in talks.
