Wiltshire robin Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 If we get Kane Wilson in our defence is looking very good for next season .

I think that sort of move will start with the agent speaking to the club and saying, 'if you would like me to find Kalas another club for you, my fee will be 250k, payable on completion of any transfer'. With the agent already having half a dozen clubs willing to take him on. Obviously the agent will have likely had the reverse conversation with any clubs interested in signing him.

If we are playing 3 at the back we probably have space for 5 senior cbs plus Idehen or Towler. Unless Pearson sees Pring as an LCB option. Am sure the plan will be to move on Vyner or Moore if there are takers and I feel both Klose and Naismith signing means the writing is sadly on the wall around Baker. That leaves space for Atkinson, Cundy and Kalas in the squad but I imagine Kalas would only want to stay - and we would only want to keep him - if he was first choice. He could well be but that is not certain… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah possibly, think long term we’ll go to a back four. Does seem unnecessary to move away from a back three when it’s been working though.

TomThumb84 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 The club doing some very satisfying business this year. Good solid professional signings and Nige building the type of squad he wants. If we can get Kane Wilson over the line that would be great but I want a horrible, nasty, time-wasting, streetwise defensive midfielder in, who coaches refs through games and knows how to win. We can then look forward to at least 8-10 places up the league then in my opinion. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Great news, a class act. Thought that he’d sign (not convinced Cundy will) but with Naismith on board, Atkinson improving & the Kalas situation to resolve, we’re in a better place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad blit Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Great signing, age dosnt matter as much when you can read the game as well as Timm. A sensible contract length too as gives him the chance to impress and get 2nd year. I do think the only thing keeping us from going to a back 4 last year was the lack of right back options, perhaps im slightly "old school" but always thought a 352 formation was too defensive minded and playing a 433/4231 would probably suit players we currently have at the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 This is good news...must herald a few outgoing too. Glad we kept Klose, mix of experience and quality- can pass it on to younger CBs too. On the books we have- and not including the potential for Cundy to remain...and one or two of these can play more than one position. Players who can play CB as 1st position Kalas, Atkinson, Baker, Klose, Moore, Idehen, Players who can play CB but other bits too Vyner, Naismith, Towler Think Pring has slotted in at CB before once or twice- but not enough for consideration.

Monkeh Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Turning into dad's army again, Someone had to stick a negative comment, Still we now have strength and depth at centre back Add a right wing back (Wilson) And a combative centre mid, the we could be in for a decent season, We didn't have problems going forward but did at the back it seems we are addressing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Yes, 3 decent signings, but IMO more almost as important is getting players in early. Gives Nige a head start on proper plans for next year. If we could shift some off of the wage bill too, that could free up even more space and money. Don't want to get ahead of myself, but next season could be exciting, in a good way.

Kalas, I’m sure he’d like to stay, but agree that he’d want to bring his salary down too. If he doesn’t want to do that then he’ll try to move him on, but different category to the other four, imho. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
