Transfer targets (21 Viewers)

[Saddlebrains]

Who are the same people ?

obviously cant say

[GIMOC]

Latibeaudiere is complete. however still playing for Jamaica, I would imagine they need to wait for him to return from international duty before announcing.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

The new excuse is that we’re waiting to sell Gyokeres

If we're having to wait until the sale of Gyokores to build a squad for next season, we're fucked.

Relegation fight it is then.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Seems absolutely everyone disagrees with you on this

Oh really? Well that's me told then......

 

[Ccfcisparks]

BTW that Andersen Luton have just signed was our top summer target

So thats him and Cochrane we wanted who have gone elsewhere

Who the hell is Cochrane

And whenever Doug's free to get the picture with him..........

that was a strange one. marquee signings I agree you might see the owner involved but king getting his face on a free transfer is a bit of how big his ego is

Any other deals close to completion?

 

[David O'Day]

Who the hell is Cochrane

there was that left back but he was a season or so ago and moved to hearts?

can't be him

only other name is keeper from Barnsley. in a way, hopefully most are kept under wraps.

ideally 3-4 over the line this week. worry is, longer it takes to bring in targets, likelihood they move somewhere else becomes a possibility.

agents are being difficult to work with this summer as they want players moved at pace this summer

I reckon he's got it mixed up with that Clarkson who went Aberdeen.

Take it with a pinch of salt. Not surprising Andersen would choose prem over us...

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Clubs more often than not fall flat in bringing in their first, second and sometimes even their third choice targets. Especially ones with our budget.

Part and parcel of the transfer market I'm afraid.

 

[andrew.roberts]

If his wages weren't too steep I wouldn't mind Bradley Dack. I know he's had some ACL problems but could perhaps do a job when Kasey Palmer, whom I rate by the way, inevitably has to be replaced after 60 minutes

I'm not saying you are wrong, although with over a month to go before the season even starts I find it strange that any true supporter would post that. But what amazes me is two people actually gave that post a 'like'

makes no sense at all

But ideally you want as full a squad for as much of training as possible, no? So every signing from here on out has catching up to do. Sure there’s realities, but if you can you want the squad in and settled as of now.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Because we play in 34 days. We need 11 players at least in. To make a reasonable 20 man match day squad.

now we don’t need them all in now - but that’s a big turnover that needs to be bedded in over a full pre-season.

we’ve had managers all the way through complain because players need time to bed in - usually takes around a month.

now I think relegation battle is extreme - but for once I’d like to begin a season ready from day one and not the end of September

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Would be a good option

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Yeah you do. Can justify it that we get be different targets for different budgets (the cheap ones might be happy coming in as first choice, less so as backup), but there is a danger we then miss all targets regardless if budget.

Still, something should start moving soon.

 

[shmmeee]

Do we need 11?

Wilson
CB Fadz CB
RWB Hamer Sheaf Dasilva
Allen Palmer
ST

Moore
CB CB
Burroughs Eccles Bidwell
AM
Godden ST

Maybe you could argue Burroughs, but that’s 8 for a 20 man squad on opening day. I could see an AM, ST and CB at least coming in on loan in August too. Bench would look light for a bit but I reckon we could manage on starting the season with 4 signings from where we are now.

 

[Bertola]

Would be a good option

Would be an excellent replacement for Vik

I’d make it:
5 CBs
2 Right backs
3 strikers

id ideally like Burroughs as a third choice utility player, and with O’Hare probably another 2/3 months away - you’d possibly want a short term AM

Be nice to annoy Scumberland fans as I know a few were annoyed when he left.
Hasn’t played for Chelsea youth teams though so not sure it would be a goer….

I know Robins has praised him in the past after he came off the beach and I think scored and set one up.

 

[GIMOC]

let me help you on this.

this is the last window where agents won’t be capped on commission. They will be wanting as many transfers over the line as early as possible to get more money going round. if for example the city are dithering on a player (possibly waiting on the Vik sale for example) sooner or later that player or agent will be asking what’s the hold up and in turn other teams come in for our targets.

the football circles are awash with agents causing grief even more so this transfer window. a lot of activity already. We could soon be left behind

Yeah that's why we're always having to play catch up.

I know the premise, but the way you explained it was totally contradictory. If agents were in a rush to get things sorted,deals would be sorted sooner rather than later. If they are in a hurry and a rush to get things sorted, how would explain our lack of activity?

because we haven’t got the funds ready. that’s why we are missing out.

Cracking player. Never fit though.

Can see someone taking a gamble on him, and if they keep him fit, the rest of the league will be kicking themselves

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I’d take Dack as an impact player off the bench as a cheap option, as long as we can get him on a cheap deal seems a no brainer to me, always been impressed with him

 

[Greggs]

so you're saying 100% we've got no money until we sell Gyokores? We've known about this squad rebuild for 18 months to 2 years, no way in a million years are we that skint that we can't bring in players through wages saved by those released. Why is his deal being stalled if agents are in such a rush then?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

looks like nothing today then... just put £20 on us going down.

 

[CovLad94]

I'd take Dack on a year deal, see how he gets on, wouldn't be a bad squad option, especially till O'hare is up to speed and palmer is fully fit

not saying no money but we haven’t got the vast funds needed as it stands.

not sure if you seen my post but robins is unhappy with the whole Vik situation. he wants it done to get the players he wants in. longer that saga runs, the less likely we get who we want.
