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

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

    I think this window will see the few remaining non UK players shipped out, so can see a need for a couple of centre backs.

    Tex has to go- his wage alone can pay for 2 maybe 3 players wages at this level.

    Bauer was one of my biggest disappointments this season​, i thought he would boss league 1 but he was exposed more than any other defender, i still think there​ is a good player in there and would keep him but not sure if KR wants him.

    Sarr #farewellnabby

    Leaves us with Pearce and Lennon (who hasn't played for a season) so i expect we'll be linked with a few defenders

    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.

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

    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 .

    Does he want to live in Chesterfield though ?

  • Thompson isn't a bad player but I don't think he'd fit in with Robinsons style. Played right back and centre back for Swindon in the past. But as people have said he's a bit small for a centre back. At right back from what I've seen he's not really one to venture forward much.
  • 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 also have Thomas returning from Woking where he had a great season but may be out of contract. But we seem to be linked to a couple of no mark CHs from lower divisions. Why don't we try for Reece Oxford or similar?

    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.
