Transfer News January 2021/22 Transfer Window

[Jolteon]

Genuinely surprised Simms has gone to a L1 club at all to be honest! Looked a cert for a Championship move. Mapp did seem to have connections at Everton if I remember rightly, signed Lundstram and Kenny from them in our promotion season. Not sure if that could have had any bearing at all 6 years later, mind!

Ellis Simms heading to Lincon on loan

Missed out there

 

[Mellowyellow]

Yes - that does rather up the ante doesn't it - Lincoln are hardly high flyers but perhaps they could offer him pretty much guaranteed first team football.

The top teams, and pretenders like Lincoln, really are upping the bar with the quality of players they are bringing in, to the point where if these three players didnt materialise then you can forget top 6. They also need to be bang on the money, not the young premiership upstart brought in at the last minute. What does it signify if the board dont support him in this window?

 

[bazzer9461]

Have we signed anyone yet? 2 weeks 6 hours and 50 minutes left. Come on board let's see some intent!

I will give you that one

Begs the question whether we were in for him at all.

Lincoln’s position looks very false now. Simms won Blackpool the first leg and ultimately the entire tie against us in the playoffs.

Well if we weren't, why weren't we??

Glad we haven’t got to play them again this season

Is Ellis Simms not a “young premiership upstart”?

It’s also the Premier League, has been for 15 years

Definitely

29 years

 

[unification]

Well if we weren't, why weren't we??

Err. Because there could be a myriad of reasons why. Wages, player not wanting to move south, agent’s demands. With that logic, we should have been in the running for Digne and Coutinho too. Curse the club for not securing them - definite lack of ambition!

I’m not going to beat the club with a stick for not getting him. He’s simply a player that a lot of us on here admire. Who knows whether he was a target or not.

 

[WRox]

I’m not sure I’ll believe Simms is back in League One until I see him holding a Lincoln (or whoever shirt). He’s levels above this division.

How very dare you...

You think I'd pay out for Photoshop when GIMP is free? (and seriously, if you have a PC and want a decent free picture editor, give GIMP a go)

Oh yes , I see that !! Search engine trotting out ' gimp ' searches

That's how I found the image editor...

Tyler Walker off to Portsmouth another good signing.

 

[bazzer9461]

Still nothing for OUFC

 

[Sarge]

Still nothing for OUFC

have we signed anyone yet @bazzer9461 ?

Very good signing and Cowley certainly got the best of him at Lincoln.

We're dooooooooooomed!!

 

[oufc1991]

I think it's probably best to judge this transfer window on the 1st of February because how it's looking at the moment isn't very positive
