Transfer Rumours January '23 Transfer Thread

[SydneyTiger14]

Pace? Wide man? Plays for Stoke? Almost certainly going to Palace.

I must be missing the obvious joke, but which previous pacey wingers from Stoke have gone to Palace?

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

With Del a Fuente, if I've spelt his name right, was here and ready to sign on deadline day, anticipate we'll go back in for him come the Summer.

I'd forgotten about him, we could well be back in for him, good point.

No issue with it at all for me. Just means he’s going to be playing to make the step up to a higher level with or without us.

Thinking of Billy Whitehurst
I remember a game at Boothferry Park against Bristol City
Their centre half cleared a ball and Billy flew into him a second or two later. The defender took five minutes to recover.
Billy wasnt even booked!

I might have dreamt this for years. But wasn't there a documentary (black and white) of a game Jack Taylor was refereeing and he was miked up, a sort of one off and first time documentary. I have it in my head it was Stuart Pearson who got flattened and as Jack Taylor said 'are you ok', he replied 'yes, but I'm going to have him. Mid through the second half Pearson did get him and as he passed Jack Taylor he said 'I told you i'd get him'... it might be my total imagination.

That was also Eaves' signature move. Although generally he did get booked and half the time we'd intercept the pass and his pointless foul would ruin a good break. I don't miss that.

In the 1980s it was different
Rarely would people get booked in the first half - although I did see Chris Simpkin get booked at the very start of the match around 1970 when Grimsby kicked off and Simpkin clattered into one of the two Grimsby players.

I bet we won by loads that day?

The ref was too scared to book him

one of the two Grimsby players

Where were the other 9?

I think we lost
First time I went to Grimsby we lost 3-0
It was my first away match

 

[petersaxton]

I think they ran away

 

[tigerrev]

First time I went to Grimsby we lost 3-0

First time I went there we drew 1-1. it was about 1979 /80 and Nick Deacy equalized for us in the 2nd half

I think they ran away

They were the sensible ones

Now traores fit simons will make a great sub

Now traores fit simons will make a great sub

I prefer Simons to slater based on what I’ve seen. Severely lacked any form of physicality in the midfield last night with Slater and Seri
