  1. McKenna would be good competition for sure but he wouldn’t walk straight in.
     
  2. I don't rate him in the slightest..

    As an option, fair enough but we need much better than him..

  3. I maintain McKenna is a diddy. Hope we're aiming for much better.
     
    elbhoydo and McChiellini.. like this.
  4. He may and probably has improved a bit since he was at the sheep but that still doesn't mean he's good enough for us..

    I've half been talked in to the idea of him as an option when thinking about the plus sides but no way would I want him here as a starter..

  5. I saw him a fair bit for Forest and thought he was fine for that kinda style, but he looks so awkward on the ball and has zero composure, two things we need from our centre halves. Always has a mistake in him too, I feel, just does not fill me with confidence at all. For me he is absolutely not the kind of centre half we want as a team who will look to dominate the ball, build from the back and defend on the front foot.

  6. I agree..

    I want someone who's imposing and good on the ball..

    Aye he's got decent pace, quite aggressive and good in the air but we can get a lot better..

    I don't think he'd be good carrying the ball out from the back and building play at all and as you say, has a mistake in him and can be ultra rash..

  7. Don't know much about him but seems like the type of GK we should be going for.

    That's exactly why we won't get him.

  8. I don’t think he’s great but he’s an upgrade on Scales.

  10. If we are gonna continue on the cheap route, this is probably the best we could ask for keeper wise.
    31, by keeper years is good. 5 years in him yet. Albeit I'd rather the other side of 30 personally, I won't grumble here.

    He's bags of experience at a good age, free transfer, albeit may ask for a bigger wage than Hart was on. Worth it though surely.

    Get it done if that's the case Celtic, no * around. Save the transfer fee and go big elsewhere (we can hope).

  11. How high do you rate him @Belgian_lad? Do you think he'd be an immediate upgrade on Hart?
     
  12. For sure! He is a strong keeper with ball at his feet, leader type(was captain at Wolfsburg). Bags of experience, will be number one for Belgium at the Euros as well.

    however I am very much biast though. The lad grew up 3km from where i grew up. Fun fact: i played football with his uncle, who is an Anderlecht fan btw haha.

  13. He'd be a coup for us.

    Seen a fair amount of him playing in the Bundesliga. We should be going all out. Champions league, international and top level domestic experience for free. It's the very definition of a no brainer.

    Hard not to get the hopes up but praying there is something in this.

  17. Still a chance though the hubs would be saying lol.
    He would be mad to choose them over us. The only thing Anderlecht does better, is their youth setup. For the rest? We have a better stadium, better team, financially more stable, cooler fans, certain champ lg.

    I have a deeling he might hold out till after the euros. If he does well, some big money move might come along.
     
  18. Saudi interest now.

    Doubt this is a goer. He seems to actually be in talks with Anderlecht whereas our link is a lot looser.
