🧵Sensible Transfers: #ReadingFC

Recently relegated Reading will be keen to bounce back amidst a backdrop of uncertainty

Here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions

Comment what team + 5 positions I should do next! 👇 Image
CB: Michael Hector

One player I believe could make a return to Reading this summer is Michael Hector. He’s out of contract following a short spell at Charlton, where he looked comfortable at the level

I’m unsure if wages would be a problem, but he’s a good defender, knows club Image
CM: Charlie Webster

Reading made good use of loans from Chelsea last season, and another I feel they could look at this year is teenage midfielder Webster

He’s yet to experience senior men’s football, but I believe he has the ability. Comfortable as either an 8 or 6 Image
CM: Henri Lansbury

Reading may want to add experience to their side, so the signing of talented midfielder Lansbury could prove a shrewd one.

He’s still got heaps of talent despite ageing, & I believe in League 1 he’d look a cut above. Available for free after release at Luton Image
AM: Reece Smith

There is a wonderful hotbed of talent in #NationalLeague, especially close by to Reading. Maidenhead have a few top talents, the pick of which is youngster Smith

Versatile attacking midfielder, Smith is a confident, courageous midfielder. Capable as a 10 or wing Image
ST: Sam Smith

One of the hottest free agent properties in League 1. Smith may have aspirations of stepping up to the Championship, but if tempted to stay in L1 he’d be a top signing

Reading need a well rounded forward, & Smith is exactly that. Hit double figures in last 2 years Image
GK: Jamie Cumming

Chelsea links have been discussed in this thread, and here is another. Cumming has had 2 great loan moves in League 1, so he has experience at the level

The 23 year old has already played over 120 EFL games, is a great shot stopper and would be a good choice Image
ST: Divin Mubamba

The 2nd top scorer in PL2, I feel a loan move is now required for prolific forward Mubamba

A natural born finisher, one who is extremely cool in the final 3rd, Mubamba is well placed to make the jump. The geography works fairly well too Image

🧵DANIEL CROWLEY - #Notts

Luke Williams’ latest recruit is attacking midfielder Crowley

He’s especially interesting as he’s spent much of his career in the Netherlands

Here is a thread on the new man, and what we can expect from him 👇 Image
The Key Stats

Age: 25
Height: 5ft9
Last Club: Morecambe
Position: AM (as shown in graphic)

22/23 (League One):
Games: 21
Goals: 2
Assists: 5
1.25 Chances Created per 90
671 passes completed (87% accuracy)
8 tackles won (73% accuracy) Image
The first thing that catches the eye about Crowley is the speed and quickness of his movement. In particular, how quickly he’s able to manipulate the ball by shifting his feet

Here he completely takes the defender out of the game, opening the space for a perfectly weighted pass

🧵When Cole Stockton (@cstockton94) signed for #BAFC I expected the reaction to be overwhelmingly positive

It was in fact mixed, which surprised me

So here is a thread showing why I believe Burton fans should be optimistic about their new signing 👇 Image
Firstly, he is a player capable of the spectacular. He’s able to grab the game and win points single handedly with moments like this

7 of his 11 goals came in his final 4 games; he almost single handedly kept Morecambe up
Stockton is a big forward, over 6ft. But his improvisation is always so impressive, especially when it involves acrobatics

Here he reacts so quickly, capitalising on an opportunity with a spectacular finish

🧵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England play against North Macedonia tonight. England aren’t adverse to former Non-League players, with Mings in the current squad potentially playing tonight

So here is an XI of players in Non-League who I feel could one day pull on the famous 3 Lions Shirt 👇 Image
Owen Foster

Scunthorpe’s 18 year old keeper Foster had a brilliant stint when called upon last season, so much so that he is now going on trial at several Championship clubs

A brilliant shot stopper, Foster has massive potential. Needs the right development Image
Kellen Fisher

Okay, so Fisher isn’t technically a NL player anymore BUT he only just moved to Norwich, so I’m counting him here

That move says it all for him really - he has genuine potential to be a top right back. He’s already mature beyond his years at 18 Image

🧵Sensible Transfers: #swfc

Promoted side Sheffield Wednesday were requested yday afternoon. So here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions

Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇 Image
GK: Josh Vickers

Wednesday rotated their keepers last season, so you’d expect them to need to add another safe pair of hands

Vickers is exactly that. He’s based fairly locally, so geography works, and he’s shown over a number of years he’s a very capable keeper Image
CB: Lloyd Jones

A defender I’d like to see make the step up with Wednesday is Jones. He’s been brilliant for Cambridge for a number of years, and is now available on a free

A strong defender, one in his prime at 27, Jones is capable on the ball & would be a cost effective move Image

🧵Sensible Transfers: #LOFC

Newly promoted Leyton Orient will need to strengthen ahead of their return to League 1

Here are 5 players they should sign based on YOUR suggestions

Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇 Image
GK: Joe Wollacott

Charlton are supposedly listening to offers for the Ghanaian international, a keeper who not only has good experience but is also comfortable on the ball

At 26 he’s the perfect age for a keeper, and location works perfectly here too Image
LB: Ziyad Larkeche

Available on a free following the expiry of his contract at Fulham, Larkeche was on loan at Barnsley last season, and despite having limited minutes he ranked highly statistically

Confident going forward, Larkeche is still just 20 years old so has potential Image

Following my #EFL thread yday, here are 10 #NationalLeague players who need a move to revitalise their career

These are mainly players who 12 months ago had a very high stock, and who I believe are capable of hitting those levels again 🧵👇 Image
Cal Roberts

This one is the epitome of what this thread is all about. I have no doubt Cal Roberts is still a top, top player; he just needs the move to show it

He’s had an unlucky time in Scotland, & 12 months ago he was one of the best in the NL. A technically gifted attacker Image
Alex Lacey

12 months ago Lacey was seen as a top end NL defender, so much so that he got himself a move to the EFL despite missing out on promotion with Notts

It’s been a really poor 12 months for him, but a fresh move may unlock that defender once more Image
