Transfer Rumours Summer 2019 Transfer Thread

Re the new lad.... Dicko was always reported as playing better off a big target man.... seems he may get chance to show that...

 

Peter Taylor on Tom Eaves

 

Not sure he will as Terry plays 4-3-3. So it’ll be one centre forward with a winger either side.

Unless they can convert Dicko to play like a winger? May not be a bad idea as he is pretty quick.

 

The problem with that theory is he has also got to be able to put a cross in. We all know he can't.

 

An interest is shown in a player obviously but no offer is made until the player passes a through medical. The club have come unstuck too many times by skirting around this. It may have been the case up to quite recently but I can assure you the medical comes first these days. If they don't pass that then no offer is made.
Its not bullshit, its common sense.

 

Always thought in a system where don't play 2 central strikers Dicko's best position could be out wide. Can't see him as a single central striker unless refinds whatever he had at Wolves one season.

 

It shows how far we’ve fallen when we’re getting excited about a striker released from a mid table league one team.

 

How long does Bowen have left on his contract? Is it one year? If it is I don’t why people think he’s staying? It’s even more reasoning for him to leave?

 

Sounds a reasonable signing, we've needed a target type player for a while now, gives us a different option upfront. I noted a bit of hesitation in Peter Taylor's comments about him, but I guess he would have succeeded in getting to play regularly in the Championship or EPL if he was perfect.

 

Not released. Refused to sign a new contract.

 

Take it from me its a 3 year contract FACT.

Surprised you didn't know that, its on the clubs social media site thing.

 

Yeah.. It is as other have said BBB. The terms are always agreed first, those are considered the stumbling block as 9 times out of 10 the medical is fine. Obviously if the player fails the medical the deal usually collapses.

I think regarding Bullard, we knew about his knees, the medical showed up all of the issues, we just decided to take a gamble on him, clearly a mistake now. Angus MacDonald is different, he was just unlucky I think.

 

This next year and a year we can activate, so two years...

 

Tom’s full goodbye letter to gillingham,
different class this lad, I like him already..

 

Is a target man alongside him going to change the fact that all of his shots go over the bar?

 

Two, three, four, or twenty five years contracts, it doesn't matter, the point was a medical has to be passed before anyone is signed on any contract, no matter what length it is.
For the record I do not follow the clubs social media site.

 

I'm not sure why you're struggling so much with the concept unless you're just fishing for a bite? Player agrees terms, player passes medical, player signs. What so difficult about that?
