This isn’t a rumor I have seen, but if West Ham goes down we should be looking at Diouf for LB. Also, do you think we could get Bowen or would he want to go to a bigger club? And with this, should we want Bowen or should that money go to a striker?
{Ed025's Note - im a big fan of Bowen Bob but as you say i think bigger fish will be in for him mate, i have not seen enough of Diouf to comment..
01 Apr 2026 21:48:05
I actually think we'd be a good match for Bowen, can't see one of the teams above going in for him necessarily, so could be one to watch.
01 Apr 2026 22:51:03
RB is needed before LB.
01 Apr 2026 22:52:55
I feel like Bowen is the type of signing we should be making if we secure Europe next season or are fighting for Europe next season.
01 Apr 2026 23:15:29
He and Moyes have a solid working relationship and have heard Bowen speak highly of him in previous interviews.
Think JB is right. Can't see which of the top top clubs will go for him.
Diouf is a great shout though, Bob, and one I would love us to go after. Fantastic delivery, and still a pup, only just having turned 21. Got the connection with Idrissa and Ndiaye as well.

Aznou?
02 Apr 2026 11:23:49
Who would Bowen be competing with? Is it a case of getting Bowen - RW, then Ndiyae LW. Grealish back to City (controversial perhaps) holds the ball, but slows the game down too much.
02 Apr 2026 11:35:44
Grealish is one of those players fans love. But, you are right, dms, the lad likes to play at his pace, which isn't quick. I would like to see him in the middle with Ndiaye and Bowen out wide.
Striker
Ndiaye - Grealish - Bowen
KDH - Garner
L/B - Branthwaite - O'Brien - R/B
Pickford.
02 Apr 2026 15:51:39
We need a squad, not a first 11. Bowen can compete with Ndayie and Grealish.
02 Apr 2026 17:04:24
Love that, Brass. If the signings at full backs and striker were good, that could be some team.
02 Apr 2026 17:30:31
JB having a phenomenal week of posting.
02 Apr 2026 17:31:22
Second, Davey, there. Some team that, Brass. Stick Bainsey LB for now.
03 Apr 2026 07:00:17
Just missing a striker and two FBs. ???
03 Apr 2026 09:06:15
Ah, dms, your wit is never ending.
03 Apr 2026 09:07:43
JB, it's just an example, mate. We do have other wingers and midfielders in our squad. Assume you thought I had forgot that.
03 Apr 2026 09:43:04
Just a giggle, BrassingtonBlues!!! ?
03 Apr 2026 10:38:19
No offence intended, Brass. Just hopeful that we'll look beyond our first 11 and have quality off the bench. No player should be nailed on to start unless they earn it through performances.
03 Apr 2026 15:52:00
Agree, JB.
03 Apr 2026 17:48:57
I thought JB was replying to the notion that Bowen would be a replacement for one of the lads we already have, insisting that it is better to have competition for the places.
That is how we truly improve.
03 Apr 2026 18:28:31
While we're plundering W/Ham, could we also steal Summerville, just a thought.
04 Apr 2026 08:16:08
He's looked very effective this season, AB. Bags of pace, and has added a final product this season.
