Transfer News Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

Right Winger/midfielder. Played right wingback as well but apparently better at going forward than defending.

Exactly, what is he really?

Versatile, which is one of the biggest things for Manning, plus an obviously exciting player

Exactly, what is he really?

Only based on what I've read, the higher up the age ranges he's gone it seems to be as a right Winger. Some flexibility isn't a bad thing though for me.

Seems like a winger who worst case scenario could fill in multiple areas should a man go down, I.e both long and Stevens are out for a couple of weeks, he could drop back in to a RWB role

Think mills will be a valuable squad player, allowing us to transition for 3 to 4 back easily in games when LM feels it’s right.

Clever signing given his versatility. If we bring in a LWB/Attacking left back, we should be able to switch to a back 5 easily

Might be some Wigan players available.

Always rated Whatmough.

 

[Wandering Yellow]

No chance Marriott is worth £400k. Surely vastly better ways that money could be spent. Very much hope that isn’t true.

Before I get crushed for being negative I'm just offering a possibility here, and I'm largely happy with our business.

Could the bid (if true) show we are getting a little bit panicked with how long it's taking us to secure a top striker before the season starts?

 

[Symp59]

It's not a panic it's called building a squad ,Mills incoming today plus maybe one more.

 

[Swaby39]

Always rated Whatmough.

I'd take him in a heartbeat. Back 3 done and off we go. Championship bound.

 

[ChinnyOx4]

In Manning I trust, so should a lot more supporters on this forum.

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

I must admit that while Mills seems an exciting signing we do seem to be a bit ' right orientated ' with the left side pretty much bare bones we have lots of right sided options.
Very interested if this means anyone could be going out .

A great amount of effort is being made by Manning in this transfer window, evidenced by the signings to date. Great contrast to the previous lazy clueless incumbent.

My non itk guesses:
we're lumbered with last year's mad signings,
Mills is being marketed to Tim as a right-back

If so, I think it's neat as it let's us play 3 and 4 at the back. I think it makes sense as Manning spoke of flexibility in formation.

Hope we get him.

Yes agree with that summery but isn't Fin Stevens the attacking rwb or another rm option ?
We currently only have the Brown/Browne left back/ left attacker although others can play on the left I'd like that side strengthened with an LWB and another left sided midfielder/ winger , I know Tyler can play there but seems a bit of an imbalance.

Apparently talking to Preston, albeit a potential spanner in the works as he supposedly has been caught cheating on his Mrs with pics on social media.

Rave reviews for Mills from my Everton-supporting mate:

"Absolute player". "He's a right winger, smashed it in u23s last year and I was hoping he'd make the step to first but maybe next year. He's a real prospect and think you lot will love him."

Sounds exciting, but could limit opportunities for Tyler I guess. Has L Man given up on Murphy at last?

Agree that we need some more left-sided players.

Josh Murphy has played most of his career at left wing:
