Summer '24 transfer window

Mepham plays right back doesn't he?

Decisions are made based on the facts you have in front of you at a specific time, not guesswork.

You can only sign players during two transfer windows, you've no idea if he would be available in the next one.

We may well have an agreement to buy him that hasn't been disclosed.

Besides what harm is it doing, seriously ...

... lets just pretend we didn't sign him if that helps.

 

Wilson Isidor does it again.

 

On Salis, I think people are assuming he’s not going to play until January because RLB said “next international break” for when he’d be fit. But actually the question he was asked is when we might see him. So it could well be that he starts appearing on the bench in November and even onto the pitch

Chris Mepham

Superb signing, exactly how the loan market should be used. Players who instantly improve the team.

 

hearing we are trying to make his deal perm in Jan, as he will coming to the end of his contract at Bournemouth

 

Two of the best strikers in the league and Connolly and Abdullahi haven't got going yet

 

They’ve done well with strikers after a couple of years in the striker desert. We may say the same about cdm soon. On that note he seems to be trying to shape Neil as a deep lying playmaker, dropping deep next to the centre backs and spraying the ball. Him and O9 use the ball so well. My worry about Neil is eh he’s in the mix he can be hassled out of possession so he seems to be dropping into pockets of space.

 

I reckon we would all like Mepham and Isidor to sign for us after their loans and it looks like both of them are enjoying it here.

However.
What sort of wages are they currently on.

Mepham must be getting a lot more than our limit (somewhere a little below £20k p/w if I’ve read correctly on here but if you know better…) so would he take a possibly big drop in pay to join us.
Maybe he wouldn’t get his current contract extended and no other Premier Club might want him but who knows.
Same for Wilson.

I know we may get promoted which will increase our wage limit but if not could we still get them to join with a wage drop.

 

Where's this not playing until January come from? RLB said after the next international break which is in November isn't it? So he'll be available right through the busy Xmas schedule.

 

Assume the club didn't think the injury was as bad as it is...

 

Everyone has 20:20 vision when using hindsight. Maybe the club thought it was a gamble worth taking given his quality
