So now we know about Trent's future, which RB are we bringing in?
05 May 2025 13:36:34
Conor Bradley - done absolutely nothing wrong so far an deserves his chance.

Frimpong? Dutch, young, quick. Reminds me a lot of Bradley tbh so rotating them would be easy.
Never going to replace the creativity of Trent but who could?
2 problems. We never spend any money, and Richard Hughes.

So we just need one injury-prone right back then?
05 May 2025 13:51:45
Connor and Wesley rotating. Wesley for 30m, and likely to be worth 70 after one season with the reds.

I'd agree, WDW but his injuries are a concern, we can't go into a new season hoping for him to stay fit. We need another RB. In the long-run if Bradley gets less injuries then it's his spot but it's a big if. An excellent player who's either just been a bit unlucky with injuries or is an injury prone player? time will tell.
Who we bring in? I have absolutely no idea.

Conor Bradley for 60 games a season @WDW. some bet that is.

Personally I’d like to see Frimpong. With my championship manager hat on, I think he could serve as both competition for Bradley but also back up for Salah. While there a higher priorities elsewhere, I do think it’s important to have some cover for salah (who slot trusts) and have an alternative at right back.

He’s young - his body will mature - the injuries he gets are not serious per se, they are more niggling rather than career threatening and it’s increasingly not uncommon with younger players at the start of their careers. I suspect that Slot is happy with hi in the squad, he’s certainly not shy picking the lad when he is available. Fortunately I’m not an ‘all or nothing’ type of person and I’d be happy for the club to bring someone in if they can find someone better than Conor or someone who could rotate with him. My original response was answering the OP’s question as we have a ready made replacement but it’s not something I see as set in stone.

I think Conor Bradley is also waiting to renew his deal. If we signed say Vanderson, Geertruida, Porro or Frimpong, there's a possibility that Bradley decides against renewing.
Given that, I expect it'll be a younger back up that comes in. We have been linked with Givairo Read, Martim Fernandes and Wesley Franca. Perhaps that is where we go.
