Summer transfer thread

We seemed to be after a CB anyway prior to Ballard injury. With O’Nien able to fill in it’s not panic stations but if we intend to regularly play a three we will need another CB imo. serious competition for Evans and a third competitive CF and things would look okay. Fullback cover as well and I don’t think we could ask for much more.
probably Winchester out permanently, Matete, Diamond and possibly Hume out on loan along with a youngster or two.

 

Unfortunately the price to us in terms of fees and wages for anyone we were already in for/negotiating with will have gone up the second Ballard hobbled off. Always better to recruit from a position of strength.

 

I have faith in our recruitment team no doubt. Maybe less so in our budget quality wise, but at this stage every player we miss, every injury we get we add pressure and that probably adds expense and possibly reduces quality.

 

I agree but I’m still of the belief that a more experienced keeper may help. Patterson is a good but inexperienced keeper and inexperience affects critical judgment.

 

Yep but they don't know how to run a ticket office or club shop. The recruitment side is good tho.

 

we still have tonnes of scope for loans from the Prem and I think that might be a way forward for this season to help consolidate. Then hopefully we will know by Feb / March for certain we will be in this division next season and can start identifying and recruiting for next year early.

 

I wouldn’t be averse to an experienced keeper or even a first choice big signing like Iversen but that would be a final piece of the jigsaw for this window rather than a priority for me.

 

Sorry. I didn't realise we had a club shop or a ticket office

 

Only two days out of seven for four hours club shop

 

Players out on there feet are though.

 

Lad I know (has no reason to lie) reckons one in by Wednesday did say one was at the game sat so could have just saw that on here and jumped to conclusions like

 

Lad I don’t know said exactly the same

 

He’s only ever been right once before like so taking it with a shovel of salt but I’ll cling to any rumour at the minute

 

I’d imagine things will start to move this week. As the prem clubs sign new people things will domino.

 

Fingers crossed mate!

 

Lmao......

 

Rumour

 

I'm surprised we've not been linked with any overseas players already.

 

Interesting accounts for him to follow
