He could still do a job in the PL. He's quality.

Scores free kicks also.

I could see him playing midfield for us sometimes also.

Could still do a job in League One ? He's a Premier League player

Still have to pinch myself sometimes.. pre-takeover best we'd hope for is to sign a striker that has scored 20+ goals in the National League at least once in their career.

It's almost as good as success on the pitch, knowing that transfer windows are going to be exciting!

The most exciting transfer window so far was the first summer (2021) when we signed Mullin, Tozer, Hayden, James Jones etc. I think this summer is all set up to exceed that one!

Wolves manager who tried to sign him was.... Lopetegui who has just become his new manager at West Ham. Seems like a very slim chance.

If we sign him then his rumoured wage demands must not be correct. We won't be paying a goalkeeper 15k a week.

The question is do the club think a goalkeeper with 57 L2 appearances to his name is worth 15k a week.

The thing with Arthur is there could be a huge resale value in 2/3 years if he continues to perform. Look at Wharton and how well he is doing at Crystal Palace who paid 18m for him! Could we have a 10/15m goalkeeper on our hands in a few years?

Glad I don't have to make the call.

Re: Creswell - the only possibility I can see is that he's mates with Lee. There's a couple of old pics of them together from their time at West Ham. I'd imagine he'd have to take a big wage cut as well. I can't see it, but stranger things have happened to this club.

Scouse so maybe he wants a move back near home.

Im wondering with Birminghams relegation and the money they might potentially spend if we might need to temper our expectations as we might see some crazy money getting thrown around for signings?

I’m confused.
With us stacked with LWBs where would he play CDF?
