Right footed centre half who captains Swindon. Out of contract soon.

.....and Konsa, and Lennon.

If it does happen, I wonder if we will be moving to a back 3 with wing backs?

I actually thought our team late last year was suited to play wing backs, surprised we didn't try it

Pretty sure KR see's Konsa in midfield, can't remember the last time i saw him play in defense

I think Konsa would be perfect for the role played by Luiz at Chelsea and Dier at Spurs. Centre of the back 3, plays almost as a sweeper. He's the one to bring the ball out of defense and forms up with the wing backs /CM 2 to start attacks.

Don't think we have the midfield or attacking inside forwards to play 343 though...

Whilst I think he would be great at that, I don't think we will ever see that sort of style at this level of football.

Chelsea have Conte as manager, while we just have a...

More a right back really (or sweeper), 5 9 is pretty short for a conventional CB

Tell that to this fella.

Has this one been mentioned yet?

Nathan Thomas. 26. Defender. Never played for MK Dons.

Edit - of course it has.

Nathan Thompson not Thomas. We tried to sign his brother Louis for most of last summer.

Yeah I remember us being linked with Louis.

Never seen Nathan play, at least not knowingly although he presumably was involved in the televised game vs Swindon that got Slade the old Spanish archer.

Despite having a big surplus of them back in August, I suspect several centre backs will be leaving and with Lennon and Pearce both lefties, a right footed centre back, especially one who can cover for Solly at right back, would seem a sensible purchase. Lots of experience at this level and a club captain, fitting with Powell's successful policy of signing plenty of leaders, but still a good age.

On the face of it he seems the right kind of target .

There's only one reason reeves would sign, KR, simple.

Milton Keynes or London? I know where i'd rather live.

Sheffield or London I know where I'd rather live

Yeah... Neither

Boo. Red card!

He played CB at Chesterfield, I'm sure that's where he'll end up long term

Does he want to live in Chesterfield though ?

Spoke to my mate who's a Swindon fan (he also told me about Ajose signing for them on loan a while before it happened). He said that Thompson to Portsmouth has been a strong rumour for a while.

We're in negotiations to sign a young 20 y.o talent from Scotland, between us and Bolton but two Champ teams have been watching him all season.

Can't say who until the morning (when it breaks). Price would be under the mill - 3 quarters of it if nothing changes. Very raw talent with proper potential.

From that list, Liam Lindsay (although he's 21 now).
