Sign Esteves and Semedo?

[Hound]

I think its slightly nuts that people wouldn't take on Esteves tbh. Obviously the 'price is right' bit is very ambiguous, but he's still very highly rated despite an iffy season, and still very young. Doubt there are many 18 year olds that have aced the season in the champ - even Olise has been up and down. I've no doubts he'll end up at a decent club and have a good career

But no, he made a mistake against Stoke back in october so we dont want him

We didn’t play Stoke in October

Agree with the sentiment that he was written off too early by fans after one poor run of games but by the same token wouldn’t say it’s slightly nuts - given the precarious financial position we’re in, I think it would be a risk signing someone at this stage for pure “potential”

[Brogue]

i should have added Gibson to the poll too, i forgot he existed tbh but i assume the same would be for him to, a no?

well yeah thats the point on the 'right price' bit. I suspect they'd ask at least 10m which of course isnt the right price for our current situation

[Hendo]

Again, on a free, I'd take Gibson no question at all.

Especially if Moore does go/Morro falls off the McShane cliff.

[Hound]

yeah thought Gibson looked quite decent. Got rinsed by Sarr when played out of position at LB, but hardly a surprise that. Otherwise looked ok to me

Not sure he’s commanding enough to be a CB in a two (or maybe not at this stage of his development). Would be happy for him to be a squad option at LB/a CB in a 3 though. I guess similar to the role Blackett played in his first season here

Another player who’s been harshly treated by the fans IMO, primarily for getting rinsed by a £40m upwards player

Slight tangent but I think it’s a shame the way Watson’s career has panned out here - looked very promising in his few games at the start under Stam (even had a decent game at the Emirates IIRC)

Bad injury/poor loans have done it here for him although I’m surprised he wasn’t given a go before Esteves was here and Yiadom/Araruna were injured

We have 3 RBs already, why sign our 4th choice one?

Would defo sign Gibson for a reasonable fee though.

Errr Yiadom and who?

[Maneki Neko]

double nope

[Lower West]

Semedo seems to be under-rated here

Expected more from a player who is on Benfica's books. More than likely a player who has failed to live up to early promise when they first signed him.

Holmes and Araruna.

Holmes and Araruna.

A very good and potential first choice CB (but not a RB) and a midfielder who hasn't played for a year, and didnt massively impress in the games he did play?

The guy who has been ahead of Esteves at RB pretty much all season, and the guy who was second choice RB until a major injury, and looked perfectly comfortable there and who has played there more than midfield where he's looked utterly anonymous.

but Holmes isnt a RB. And he's twice the player at CB. Araruna played a couple of games there, one where he was pretty crap (colchester) from the sound of it, and doesn't sound like he's a RB either

If you mean 3 players you yourself might pick ahead of an 18 year old Esteves at the start of the season in that position, then it'd be more accurate.

[Snowflake Royal]

If Esteves can't play consistently ahead of Holmes there's absolutely no reason to sign him.

Simply a fact that we don't need a RB.

[Sutekh]

And a no on signing Lewis Gibson too.

And a no on signing Lewis Gibson too.

Definitely a must sign, he has shown a lot of promise.
