Summer transfer rumours

[Guy Incognito]

What exactly can/can't be done now the window has shut? Signing players for a fee I know. Can we still get loans in if Tranmere can or was this done before the window shut and they've just announced it now?
Free agents are allowed to sign, anything else?

I think the window is closed now unless it's an emergency loan. Its likely that Hawkes loan was agreed before the deadline, but not finished completely. There is a sort of "place holder" agreement that can be sent to the FA before deadline to say its agreed but just needs final details completing which gives a bit more timeto get it done, but I think its only a few extra hours. So it might have been one of these used in this case, with the deal finished sometime yesterday and they announced it today.

Saying that, I could be wrong and the loan window could still be open for some levels!

Tranmere is a decent move for Hawkes. Plenty of game time you’d imagine.

Totally get why we've loaned out Diamond and Hawkes, at their age they need the regular football and League Two seems a good option for both of them. That keeps Ellis Taylor here, for who the experience of being around our first team set up this year will be good for his development and get the EFL Trophy games. For Hawkes and Diamond they need more than that.

Good move. His game time is likely to be limited this season and it's games he needs under his belt. Hope he makes a name for himself and comes back raring to go.

Owt on the SLT changes anyone ?

Just heard Nick Barnes on tertle spert on about Aiden O'Brien to Doncaster. Seems he was made available late on Tuesday. Found this on the Echo site.....

Presumably the club feel we have enough even without O'Brien then. Getting him out that late wouldn't have seen us bringing anyone else in.

They must do, I presume they agreed to let him go once they knew the Dajaku deal was done but after bagging a hat trick a few days before I'd be a bit pissed off if I was AOB. Im glad they have kept him, I think we will need him

Seems a strange one, particularly with Hawkes and Diamond also going out on loan. The only thing I can think of is that with Dejaku signing, that O'Brien would be dropping out of the squad but, in the event of injuries, this would have left us short of numbers up front, unless there is a young one they they think can step up.

Probably agreed when we thought Grigg was staying, balance the books. Once the turd left, keep AOB

This seems the most logical to me.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Quite shocked we were prepared to let AOB leave for the season. Crucial squad player IMO. Good character.

But reading what the Doncaster manager said, he only went after O'Brien AFTER he knew that Grigg had decided to go to Rotherham rather than them!

Sounds to me like it was a back up option in case Griggs move fell through

Yeah I think we will need him

The bloke always gives 100 and is always fit n ready. Good professional

I agree

 

[Robertson]

If AOB can keep up the finishing that we saw at Blackpool he'll definitely be an asset.

Great attitude and team player already.
