Bosun Lawal - Gerry Hatrick - 21-07-2023
Football Insider reckons this Celtic defender is in our sights as a loan deal. Can't quite fathom why we would be interested in another centre-half, especially if Raggett is staying.

With a name like Bosun, he will be right in tune with our maritime past.

Not convinced that scottish defenders are the best either!
They used to be

He’s Nigerian

Seems a strange one for us, would understand if it was a perm deal but see no need to loan him.
Be surprised if it’s true.
RE: Bosun Lawal - bluetagagain - 21-07-2023
Unless they’re trying to save money to buy a No 10. However looking at the players we have maybe he doesn’t want to play 4231 as we have enough attacking players to go 433
RE: Bosun Lawal - Pompeyg100 - 21-07-2023
How many defenders do we need though?
RE: Bosun Lawal - bluetagagain - 21-07-2023
True, unless the Raggett to Gillingham rumours are true. Personally I feel we’re well catered for in the CB mode.
RE: Bosun Lawal - Pompeyg100 - 21-07-2023
Me too hence I thought it was an odd rumour.
RE: Bosun Lawal - Gerry Hatrick - 21-07-2023
Currently we have Raggett, Shaugnessy, Towler and Poole vying for two places. I guess we're putting the feelers out in case Ragget goes and we can't get or don't want Bernard.

Sounds right to me.

At the age he is and with the abuse he gets online, I would not be at all surprised to see Raggett take up a last move, presumably Gillingham must be splashing a lot of cash about looking at the players they are signing.
I do think we will regret having a defence full of ball players if he does go. Midweek up north he does a job of work.
RE: Bosun Lawal - mikey393 - 23-07-2023
Maybe looking to play with 3 x CBs? 3-5-2 or 3-5-1-1.
RE: Bosun Lawal - bluetagagain - 23-07-2023
Very much doubt it. Have you read any of the friendly reports? Not one game have played 3 at the back.
RE: Bosun Lawal - Gerry Hatrick - 24-07-2023
Mousinho saying he's as confused as we are about this link and has now ruled out the need for any more centre halves. So that's it with Bernard too.
