Summer window

not surprised really it looked like he was never going to sign new contact no matter what he said about wanting to stay

 

@JamesCopley_
Silko Thomas, who was on trial with Sunderland (played and scored against King's Lynn), is in "advanced talks" with Leicester City.

Report from the @EveningStandard before people start passing the news off as their own.

he’s an absolute ding.

attention seeking at its finest.

 

Gutted about Stewart..massive fan of him. Cant or wont match wages on offer.

 

Doubt we can (or should) match the wage offer of a relegated PL club with parachute money and selling players for 50m.

See ya Rossco. All the best.

 

Looks also like another big departure going as well.

 

Ballard is my guess after mowbrays Clarke comments

 

He's dead to me

 

If we are going off Fishpaste's tweets, it's either Clarke or Roberts leaving

 

Oh well. Get them shifted for as much as possible and get their replacements in. Not as disastrous as under previous regimes as we know there will be targets.

 

Ffs

 

**** any single player that doesn’t want to be here.

 

I’m already resigned to losing Stewart but injured or not he’s still a valuable commodity. Will be interesting to see what the club decides is an acceptable offer.

 

I believe it when it's official. Too many backwards and forwards on this the entire summer

Tbh, I'd keep Stewart on and let him leave for a free or new offer in Jan once we have an idea if we're challenging for promotion or not.

Clarke/Roberts a bigger worry, but still not that bothered if we've got 15m+ for them

 

What's the other news then?

Clarke away? He seems settled but Burnley just won't go away so must be getting positive feedback from somewhere?!?!

O'Nein hasn't been spotted recently, out of contract next summer and no sign of a new one yet? Could we cash in to a Luton, for example, as this is probably his ceiling?

Same with Pritchard and Baath if they're not getting new deals.

 

We could be significantly weaker come the Ipswich game than we were against Preston if this is all true, no Amad and losing Clarke or roberts massively weakens us

 

just as TM says, not looking to sell and no one is asking to go but every player has his price, this is the 'down side' of the model...it is also the big test for the recruitment team as anyone leaving will have to be replaced.

think we all knew there would be a departure or two, cannot keep adding players, with 4 in already and there has to be at least one more (keeper) at the very least.

 

All conjecture at the minute. Let's see what the line up is v Ipswich, and then again after the window has closed

 

Yeah I know just seems to have been negative story after negative story for a couple of weeks on the transfer front is all

 

If we can't match the wages on offer, then providing we get a reasonable fee for him, then he'll go with my best wishes. I'll always remember him as a vital player in finally getting us out of that ****ty League One and I'm grateful to him for that.

At his age, time isn't on his side and he probably can't wait for us to be in the position to be more competitive wage wise.

I think it will be exciting to see him and (if true) another top rated performer go, just to see what money we are prepared to let them leave for and how well we replace them using our new model.
