🧵Sensible Transfers: #rufc

One of the most highly requested teams has been Rotherham United

So here are 5 players they should look at based on YOUR suggestions

Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇 Image
CB: Di’Shon Bernard

One of the players I feel Championship clubs should be all over is 22 year old defender Bernard.

He’s just been released by Man Utd, so the geography works well. He had a strong loan in L1, has Championship experience and has room to grow too Image
RB: Regan Poole

A player who can also play in the aforementioned central role, Poole is available on a free after his contract at Lincoln expired

He had a really strong season in League 1, and has yet to confirm his next move. 23 so can develop too Image
CM: Matt Smith

Another PL youth player that I just feel fits the bill perfectly is 22 year old Matt Smith.

The young midfielder didn’t quite make the grade at Arsenal, Altho he was offered a new deal this summer, which he turned down for first team football. Has the quality Image
Winger: Yakou Meite

An experienced winger, one who has plenty of goal contributions in the final 3rd. Meite is still just 27, and available on a free, although he has been offered a new deal by relegated Reading

A versatile forward option, one who could be a smart addition Image
ST: Daniel Jebbison/Rhian Brewster

Local side Sheffield United have been promoted to the Premier League, so may be willing to offload some of their younger talents on loan

Either would fit the bill. Both have potential to score goals, altho latter needs a confidence boost ImageImage

Last weekend, Joselu played in the Champions League final, ending on the winning side

8 years ago he played in another final; the Development League Cup final

Both sides are packed with interesting players; but the question is, where are they now? 🤔

[THREAD] 🧵 Image
Dale Eve
Age: 29
Position(s): GK
Nation: England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Club: Walsall Wood

We start off in non league, with Walsall Wood stopper Eve

He’s also a Bermudan international, and has had 18 clubs in his career so far Image
Phil Bardsley
Age: 38
Position(s): RB
Nation: England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Club: Retired

Barnsley was still playing in 2023, at Stockport, but he announced 12 months ago that he would retire

At this point he was already a PL regular; where he would spend the vast majority of his extensive career Image

They’ve signed players from 1, 2 & 3 leagues below

Brought players in from the 2nd tier of Denmark & USA

Everyone had them tipped to finish bottom

Yet Crawley Town are now on the cusp of the playoffs

Here is the story of arguably the best recruitment in League 2

[THREAD] 🧵 Image
Rome wasn’t built in a day. A playoff achieving squad isn’t built overnight.

It takes several windows at this level to get it right

As a result we will be going through the last 2 seasons to see how Crawley have crafted this squad Image
Corey Addai
Age: 26
Position(s): GK
Signed From: Esbjerg

We start with a sensational piece of scouting. Addai was signed from the Danish 2nd tier

Statistically he’s been absolutely superb this season. They have themselves a top goalkeeper 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
