Transfer Rumours Summer 2019 Window

Agree about the Championship being a different proposition, but maybe Prem wasn't beyond their level and style of play - for sure it's too late to find out now.

Could be just our manager preferred not to use them because they didn't fit in his plan A of grunt and graft?

I know it was the last game of the season at Old Trafford, but it shows how a different approach to a game can get its' rewards.

The plain fact is we'll never know about last season, but what a challenge it would be if we did get back up and they were instrumental in doing so.

Wish they'd report on midfielders......

 

Only Vaulks looks like there’s potential for a deal. Expect Leeds to sniff around.

 

Seems like we have a likely 3rd choice keeper already.

Don't want to read too much into this guys, but you never know.

Gareth Bale was at Southerndown Golf Course last weekend and Warnock lives about half a mile away in Ogmore.....

 

Player manager after Warnock packs in at the end of the season.

 

Too injury prone

 

Retained list published.

Kadeem Harris being let go is probably the biggest news. Connolly retained.
Cameron Coxe offered a new deal. Would like to see him stay.

Not surprised at Kadeem being released. Can only assume that others retained still have time on their contracts.

We must be open to offers for the likes of Connolly, Bogle, Madine, Tomlin, Damour etc with squad totalling 24. Need to make space for new blood.

Also hope we keep Coxe.

 

Donald Trump owns a golf course in Ireland, but he doesn't live there. Just saying.......

 

“Discussions” with Brian Murphy

About what? Game of Thrones, Brexit, VAR, the Women’s World Cup, the weather

 

Hmmm............

Just read that. Would like to hang on to him but £££££s might result in a different outcome.
We've got a 1 year option to trigger but Colin wants to sign him up for longer.

 

Don't want to lose him. A player with some class as a centre back.

 

Etheridge latest from the rag

Depending on the price, I'd let him go. I think he's over rated by our fans personally.

From where I see things, AT LEAST once in a game Manga will make a fatal error allowing an attacker through on goal, at least once!

Good defender, strong, with elements of class to his game but for me was never worth the money we paid for him.

 

Well, we've all said we need a striker/scorer. Not sure if he's a free agent, but he won't cost that much anyway compared to European players of his type.

Think we need to start thinking along these lines to keep costs realistic.

I still believe we will see more from our existing strikers if we utilise our attacking play ers better (Murphy/ reid) and get our midfield recruitment right!
