@bbccumbriasport: Keith Curle confirms the club have made approaches to speak to two of their transfer targets.



Anyone got any ideas/guesses as to who they are?

Think we need 2 new good centre half's as we'll desperately need to stop shipping goals this season. Scoring, so far isn't as much of a problem for us.

An Iraqi would be different!

Sendles-White, Curle would know from QPR?

Typical, I bet this is all Nixon and Jenkins' doing.

Curle: I'd like to sign a couple of players

JN/AJ: As long as they've got long surnames, ideally double barrelled, so we can make a bit more on the shirt printing.


Is there no depth to which they will not stoop?

Could have just been a daft twitter rumour, but the other week I remember seeing somebody say we were looking at an ex Celtc defender.
Can't remember his name

Alan Sheehan was mentioned by someone on this forum last week.

He's not making the Bradford 11 at the moment, he'd fit perfectly into this system we're playing at the moment, he's played for Curle previously...

Wouldn't work. KC doesn't like defenders with two surnames.

Sheehan is a left back, drop Grainger, unthinkable. Unless Curle is so determined he will play 2 left backs then blame Sheehan when something goes wrong

Are we speaking to the players, or the player's agents or the agents of the player's agents or even someone who is in a position to introduce us to an agent for an agent (or player as the case may be) as long as no-one finds out the identities of either the putative players or their agents?

[censored], I've confused myself. Where was I? :unsure:

Left wing back. Competition for Brough, puts in a quality delivery.

Curle mentioned after Mansfield that targets had been watched that afternoon. So presumably these players are currently in the first team picture at their clubs playing at 3pm on a Saturday.

Sheehan was an unused sub that day by the way.

Squad isn't big enough already, is it? Sign a few more young lads from the smoke on 12 month contracts, it's exactly what we need. Not.
There's only one United!

If we're interested in defenders based on their free kick taking ability we may as well stick with Grainger.

None of the above, actually. However we have been 'permitted' to send the players' agents' agents' agents an e-mail.

So we are sticking with the wing back fiasco? Surely he had all last summer to plan for this, only now he realises the players that he brought in are not good enough?

To be fair to KC, he had to give Brough a shot at making the position his own. Many on this board, including me, predicted a big season for Brough but he has looked badly short of form so far. It would be better to bring someone else in at left wing back while Brough regains form and confidence perhaps loaned out to a conference side...

He didnt bring Brough in though but he clearly hasnt been up to it so far. Thats if that is the position hes looking to strengthen.

There's still a lot of football to be played this season. I think it's unfair to judge Brough on the first couple of games. Let him grow as the season goes on - there's definitely no better option for the position in the current squad so unless it is a new signing coming in to play there (that has proven ability playing there), I'm fine with him playing LWB.
