Nah that was the only game, apart from his appearance in the League CupCrusty54 said:

Imagine he'll start tonight as well0 -
Purrington was a game changer. After losing Grant we had to become better defensively to go up, Purrington ensured we were able to do that.ForeverAddickted said:
Only got signed January 2019 though... But that was when we went on the stonking runFishCostaFortune said:

Ah, I clearly didn't look at my transfermarket.com stats well enough when making my point ha ha.ForeverAddickted said:

Either way, in my opinion he is more then a capable enough left back. I mean he even scored in what was one of our most important games in recent years.
I don't think he will ever be championship material, but he will never let you down in this league.4 -
Unfortunately played all five League games for them so more chance of Margot Robbie showing up on my doorstep in the next five minutes - Looks like Edun can also play CB and in Midfield - Still a strange deal though.cafcfan1990 said:I hadn't realised Blackburn were signing a left-back. What's the chances of getting Pickering and reuniting the Crewe dream team down the left?0 -
Perhaps the left sided defender they have in mind is versatile enough to provide cover for left back…?ForeverAddickted said:

Left sided defensive midfielder 😯1 -
We can do better than Purrington. I don't think that's a big criticism of the bloke, he is just very basic.
We've also heard from Crewe fans that Kirk struggled with a defensive LB behind him, and Ben is absolutely that.1 - Sponsored links:

Said himself that he has been told what he can and can’t release.Redhenry said:
Info will always get out from players, agents etc. Cawley does get fed info from various sources, doesn't mean he will always be the first to hear though.Vfrf said:Redhenry said:
Why?RedRobin said:
Pretty much confirms the SLP and Cawley aren’t getting the info like they did before.covered_end_junior said:I guess historically they'd dismiss it or stay quiet rather than just report a rumour from Nixon.That said it's quite poorly structured might be an intern or something hired for deadline day.
I don't agree that he is being fed less info from the club, they will always pass on what suits them.0 -
Expect some loan arrivals from QPR and west Ham today - Charlie Kelman ( previously mentioned ) and Emanuel Longelo.12

Redhenry said:LB is the major one for me. Please not Purrington as our number one option, really don't rate him..
So when Purrington was steady Eddie during the League 1 campaign which resulted in Promotion and scored the equaliser at Wembley you didn't rate him ?
Or do you mean in the Championship where nearly every member of this squad would struggle ?
Ben Purrington is a decent League 1 LB,
(but slowish) he isn't a Rhoys Wiggins.
(When Rhoys was fit to play)
We do need a Left footed LB and it would be great if this guy was faster and yet could not only overlap but defend as well.
Catch 22 is why would this player want to come to League 1 unless he is a young Championship or Premiership loan. Then like Maatsen at 18 make some schoolboy errors.
All about opinions, but all fans want players that will strengthen the team. By midnight tonight we may have a better idea when the dust has settled and the ink has dried.3 -
I really hope not, because you won’t find a quick attacking left back who can also play CB at this level.KiwiValley said:

Summer update from West Ham on Longelo.SwingForward said:Expect some loan arrivals from QPR and west Ham today - Charlie Kelman ( previously mentioned ) and Emanuel Longelo.The 20-year-old left-back enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in Claret and Blue last season, making his first-team debut against Hull City in the Carabao Cup third round last September.
After playing more minutes for the U23s than any other member of the development squad – on numerous occasions wearing the captain’s armband – the former winger continued to develop as an exciting, attack-minded full-back at Premier League 2 level.

Not sure why people question Cawley’s knowledge. He is one that works with clubs not against, will have excellent 1st hand and 2nd relationships established into our Comms teams etc. He’ll know pretty much everything going on, he’ll just play the party line mostly in terms of what he puts out25

Think Longelo looks like a decent prospect and would be an improvement on Gunter going forward but would be very underwhelmed with Kelman as the Aneke replacementSwingForward said:Expect some loan arrivals from QPR and west Ham today - Charlie Kelman ( previously mentioned ) and Emanuel Longelo.3 -
Kelman is the striker who scored from his own half on his debut as a 17 year old.

Cawley is the only ITK I actually listen to, no disrespect to anyone on here, you just know with Cawley you’re not getting any nonsense, he has no desire to sensationalise a rumour.AFKABartram said:Not sure why people question Cawley’s knowledge.

I know a lot of people want/expect an Aneke replacement which I understand.
But, realistically how many other clubs were fortunate to have a 15 goal striker on their bench most of the season? - Don't think you'll find too many.
I don't think the club will replace him because I don't think it'll be possible.4 -
Agreed, we've already got Famewo and Pearce, so the left side of central defence is very well covered. What we need is a more attacking alternative to Purrington at LB, someone who's more a winger than a centre backScoham said:

Could it be a direct like for like replacement for Aneke isnt what we are looking for as we are set up differently now?
If people mean the goals then thats fine but any striker coming isnt 100% guaranteed to bang the goals in.
Whoever comes in are in because they are what the club wanted/needed.0 -
Only missed one match?? He played 18 games for us that season.FishCostaFortune said:

Do I even uunderstand football? I Thought a left back was a left sided defender?!. And I was trying to get some cheap LOLs. I’m Confused and so I’m going to bed now. see you tomorrow for the carnage of the last few hours.Scoham said:

This is certainly my view. In as much as no way would you find a direct replacement for him.Addick_8 said:I know a lot of people want/expect an Aneke replacement which I understand.

But I guess you could find the goals elsewhere on the pitch with other signings.0 -
