Summer 2018 Official Transfer Thread ****

[Ian]

1 minute into the transfer window, tensions are rising... Nails getting shorter - as is the time left to sign anyone! Every minute counts, and as the minutes pass, even I am worrying more and more ... We need a 20+ goal a season striker, other attackers, and someone to stop the goals going in!

No one announced yet, so I'll be buying my ticket for Bazzer's bus very soon! I don't think I'll sleep until at least one new player is in the building! He'd better be capable of scoring 20 and from somewhere in our own half.

 

[Discoland]

Now I'm not ITK but my brothers girlfriend has a brother, whose dog is looked after by a French lady who swore blind her cousin's nephew was in the same class in primary school as Griezmann and heard he would definitely not be coming here.

Interesting summer ahead, nonetheless.

 

[Ian]

Now I am really getting worried.. Not least because I should have perhaps entitled this the Official Worrying Thread!

 

[yellowbow]

Oh go on then. Have we signed anyone yet..?

[Shaun Rice]

This is just ridiculous! Why haven’t we signed anyone yet! We are a shambles! We’re going down at this rate!

Did you not see the helicopter heading towards the stadium?!

You've been out in the sun too long.

Jaysus I miss Sir Les.

 

[North Wales Yellow]

I’ve seen a few whispers on Twitter that Hibs are interested in Kane Hemmings.

Let’s hope we can get him off the wage bill and recoup some of the transfer fee we paid for him. League 2/SPL is his level.

Only for us to go up ?

Given the spine strength of the squad at gk, cb, midfield and Henry in the hole (it should not be forgotten how good he was once finally played in his best position) there is a real opportunity to sign quality in the forward positions

In the past - rightly given our size - we’ve had to make do with one marquee signing.

But with so many salaries being freed up we might be able to ‘go big’ on two proven forward players

Sure, we need two full backs but they should not be expensive at this level.

We might even be able to free up a bit more cash if Rothwell goes. A talented player but I won’t be weeping if he goes. A succession of managers have failed to get the best out of him and no one really knows his best position. I suspect it is Henry’s so he may be surplus regardless

Marquee? Is that for the Priory when it reopens?

 

[Millman]

Now who would Pep sign....

Lets hope we get none of them

 

[derbyyellow]

Mentioned a couple of times on the targets thread. Rumoured to have signed Cameron Norman a full back. Quite possibly for the U23s side

 

[Smilingbo]

The transfer window has been open for about a week already according to the EFL...

 

[Ian]

Can't see Cameron Norman scoring 20+ goals.

And now as the club descends into greater chaos, we lack a first team coach. The Happy Bus might be commandeered for this role, leaving Dave T at the side of the road.

He’s a first-team player. A smart signing if true

Henry’s importance to the team really can’t be understated.

For a team that didn’t score many during the final stretch (and perhaps for good reason as our shape was designed to protect our own goal, more than attack the opposition), he was our only regular scorer.

Henry will be as important again next season, although we still need cover for when he’s injured/suspended.

If we do lose Rothwell I’m not sure we have a natural player for that position, although I personally would be interested to see how Hall does there if required. His movement is sharp, he’s very good at covering ground with the ball and he certainly has a great shot on him if given sight of goal.

Descends into chaos?

 

[gingerox]

Ledson comfirmed. He's gone

 

[RATC]

Ahh FFS. Hopefully this means Karl has some players already lined up.

 

[RATC]

Only 6 figures. They've had our pants down

 

[BristolOx]

Ledson comfirmed. He's gone

Yeah just seen that. what was all that bullshit about last week then?

 

[gingerox]

Only 6 figures. They've had our pants down

Agreed but unfortunately with only one year left we'd be fortunate to get a lot more. Hopefully we've got a decent sell on with clauses otherwise we're going to miss out on a lot of money.

 

[mooro]

Where is the six-figure fee mentioned?
Good job that KR was able to announce Eastwood staying before this was finalised, otherwise the doom-mongers would have been out in force.

 

[MJB]

If I were doing the PR at the club, I would time the RL announcement so that we had a new player lined up for the day after he was sold, given that it’s been long in the offing. We shall see.
