General Chat • Re: 2019/20 Transfer Rumours & Discussion Thread

Personally I'd like us to go after 2 players we have been linked with before 1 of whom Bielsa apparently personally went to scout back in 2018.

1) Justin James- Young Luton right back who also can play as a left back and has played centre midfield, right wing and left wing. Been a key part of both Lutons promotion winning squads, league 2 and 1 last season, also named in the PFA League 1 team of the year (Bielsa went to watch him earlier this season).

2) Matt Clarke- 22 a year older then James. Portsmouth Cb who like James was named in the League 1 team of the year and was a key part of Portsmouth's promotion winning side last year a playoff qualifying side this year.

Think we should be looking at cherry picking the best players in league 1 something we dont do and something that ironically played a large part in us being knocked out of the playoffs (Jack Marriott was league 1 top scorer last season).

We cant/wont afford the best players in the Championship so why not pick up the best talents in the league below?

And the two players mentioned are only 21 and 22 respectively so plenty of time to grow and already have proven themselves to be very decent players.
