Transfer News 2022/23 Season Incoming Transfers and a few other things

[Swaby39]

We don't need brilliant players though. We need a couple of strong, capable fullbacks, a bit of a head case in the midfield, our usual scattering of tippy tappy loan wingers and a lump up top, and we're going up I tell you!

Step aside KR!!

 

[Oxford84]

That’s the point. They didn’t want it. He wants to go and play and they’re mid-season. He has a contract to honour there until told otherwise. I highly doubt, in fact, I’ll guarantee when we opened discussions with Philly, KR nor the board saw this coming. But having come this far and got so close to what appears to be our no.1 target for the position, what would be the the sense in walking away.

Have you ever heard or known this happen before though? weve all seen plenty of times when the player is taken out of a team to protect the sale but this actually risks the sale if he gets injured.

Barnsley were bottom at Christmas a few seasons ago and won promotion.

Blackpool were hardly flying for a while either, it was their loan signings in January that kicked them on.

 

[Victor1986]

Rediculous situation with Findlay. Agree with GUK on this one. We should move on because whilst we wait other opportunities disappear.

Yep just a fat bloke from Scunthorpe, and a winger from Chester with a gammy leg.

What about the fella with the clump foot from Gateshead

 

[Marked Ox]

Have you ever heard or known this happen before though?

Yes a few times although can't remember specifics.

 

[Swaby39]

Have you ever heard or known this happen before though?

Publicly? No. But I’ve no doubt it happens. And do clubs do similar things like hold off a sale until they’ve been replaced? Yes, all the time.

I actually quite like that we know exactly what’s going on. Don’t understand what there is to hate other than he’s not arriving tomorrow via Amazon prime.

I was amazed when I heard that interview. Could you imagine Man City ( or Derby for that matter) signing a player but agreeing to let them play on with their original team for a few more games.

It's a strange one but fingers crossed, it works out in out favour.

 

[Marked Ox]

That interview is very disappointing, 2 games takes us to 17th July, he's hardly going to jump on a plane straight after The FT whistle, so your looking at him getting into the UK around 19th July.

I'm sure he will need time to settle his family in their new home/life so won't be training properly until 21/22nd July...

Assuming it is actually us then I'd hope his agent is already on the case with sorting accommodation etc.

Where does it end though? At some point he needs to start building a centre back partnership with Moore, ideally before we face McGoldrick, Hourihane and co.

We are less than 3 weeks before the season starts with no guarantee of when our CB arrives.
I don't think Burnley will have given us a huge amount of choice about when McNally moved to them, regardless of our situation.

Say we do that and we end up with another Ciaran Brown. A week later Findlay moves to a competitor or a championship club. I don’t even need to ask what you’d be saying.

Barnsley were bottom at Christmas a few seasons ago and won promotion.

Although, probably more examples of teams that were bottom at Christmas and got relegated.

Man City let Julian Alvarez finish the season at River Plate which has recently(ish) finished after signing him in January. That is a lot longer than a couple of games.

That's a fair comment.

injury!? he is supposed to be our first choice starting centre back,if he doesnt get bloody injured after everything is agreed.
Isnt it the case that the bid wouldnt be accepted if the the selling team needed him for a few games?

 

[Victor1986]

Or is this delay simply a chance for his agent to punt him around?

wasnt that a loan back?

I very rarely follow premier League teams so it was a risky analogy!

 

[Chippy]

Thankfully there's still 9 months of the season left at that point. Our squad as it is is good enough for a half decent start with reinforcements coming by the end of August to really get us going

Half the reinforcements should be here by now tho!

So far we’ve managed to trial a croc and fried chicken man. Plus almost sign someone who got half way here from USA and had to turn round again!
