Potential players?

Fri Aug 15, 2025 9:10 am

Just a bit of fun

I have been looking at who is out there and who may be suitable to get in on loan (or wishful thinking permanent :ayatollah: )

It seems as though we are going with youth so I have looked at potential targets that fit the criteria

Facundo Buonanotte - Brighton - 20 y/o - Attacking Mid/Winger - Argentina International
Kasey McAteer - Leicester - 23 y/o - Attacking Mid/Winger - ROI International
Samuel Edozie - Southampton - 22 y/o - Winger - Played in Belgian top flight last year
Luke Mbete-Tabu - Man City - 21 y/o - LB/CB - Experience already in UK & Netherlands

Players I wouldn't mind coming back

Will Alves - Leicester - 20 y/o - Winger
Josh Wilson Esbrand - Man City - 22 y/o - LB

At the moment it would be nice to know that Tan, Dalman and Choo are thinking of bringing anyone in! And perhaps making us competitive at all?!

But yes would take any of those!!

Alves and Esbrand I would take back in a heartbeat. Definitely need a new centre half or two and then we're sorted imo.

Yeah I get that but surely we as a club still have a bit of pulling power? Yes I'm going to be biased but we are still a big club

Plus out of who I mentioned

Kasey Mcateer was loaned to League Two Wimbledon & Forest Green between 2021 - 2023
Luke Mbete-Tabu was loaned to Northampton last year League One

So not entirely out of the question

Not all are outlandish but buonanotte is way way way out of our reach :lol: I’d say Mcateer is also out of reach these days. The other 2 may be fair shouts though.

Buonanotte is linked with Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. Forget about that one.

Some clubs like loaning to lower league clubs to make it easier for the player and allow them to build some strength and confidence at the same time.

BBM was appointed for his contacts in the game, so I'm hoping on some decent loans.
