Seton always looked fairly solid against us for Portsmouth.
Playing devils advocate. He said 5.
But one could argue that Elechi isn’t considered good enough so that’s 4 players. Also that either of McNally or Mous might also not be thought good enough so 5 isn’t so far off it.
Scotchers have a word with your contact to whisper a little louder, last week he/she was telling you we were signing Tomlinson & Tucker, the week before it was Ogilvie and Kerr, previous to that it was Cadden and Bedeau! Who will it be next, Seddon and ?
Posh paint productsSounds like the shortlist of proposed title characters of a new ITV detective series...
Morning Scotchers, pure guesswork then!Bless, you've got a little confused. There will be dozens of players that we'll be looking at, including those mentioned above. Doesn't mean that we'll sign them for a whole host of reasons!
Left back - Ogilvie hasn't been spoken of for a while, whereas Robson keeps coming up in conversations with a number of people so he would be my guess (but I don't know!). Tomlinson is a good young prospect, and is perhaps more likely one for the future and Seddon was mentioned by one poster on their first and only post, which sparks interest! Either way, I believe a deal is done with someone and will be announced early this week.
Centre back - Again, a number of names have come up and I have no doubt that Kerr would have been right at the top of our list. But I think we probably needed to do a deal early before others got involved. Similar to when we were looking at Marcus Browne, we can match the asking price but Championship clubs will double or more the wages we can offer. Of those still in our sights, Tucker and Boyle are the two most likely. I believe that conversations have taken place regarding a player exchange between Boyle and Sykes, but nothing confirmed and it's maybe more likely that we'll go for a straight deal instead. As before, I seems like a deal is hopefully for next week.
As for the others, Nicky Cadden and Nathan Holland were being spoken to in January but I've heard nothing of since. Holland is around the West Ham squad and a deal is unlikely until the Euro lot are back and ready to play. The same is with other PL loanees that we may be looking at. Harrison we have spoken with but as others showed interest, Portsmouth I believe upped the price but we were not budging. I think a deal can still happen, but it will have to be soon or we'll go elsewhere.
Other than that, nothing to add and nothing particularly concrete.
Always is until paperwork done and I don't pretend otherwise.Morning Scotchers, pure guesswork then!
Only been active on the forum for a short time but couldn’t miss the fact you’ve also had a wild punt or two along the way!Morning Scotchers, pure guesswork then!
Or Sheff were paying more of his wages, or he felt they’d be more likely to go up, or he just fancied a different experience - probably nothing we could do about it. I think he’s finished at QPR now so will be looking to his next contract.The fact Karl has allowed Shodipo to go elsewhere suggests he has better irons in the fire. I fell sure Shodipo would have opted for Oxford had he been given the chance. We will see. I am hopeful.
He is on loan to Sheff W so presumably still a QPR player?Or Sheff were paying more of his wages, or he felt they’d be more likely to go up, or he just fancied a different experience - probably nothing we could do about it. I think he’s finished at QPR now so will be looking to his next contract.
It would be good to get him but Ipswich appear to be paying very big salaries.Between us and Ipswich for Jamie Robson
But his contract only has this year to run I think?He is on loan to Sheff W so presumably still a QPR player?
