Transfer News Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[Older Shotts]

I'd also prefer him to Marriott, but it's interesting to note that Mo Eisa has had the lowest aerial win % of any striker in League One in the last two seasons. 7% and 8%. He might be quite tall, but he isn't going to give you much in the air. I still have a sneaky feeling it'll be neither.

neither, but someone else instead? or no new striker at all?

Someone else. I think we will bring one in and it could be Eisa or Marriott, although I'd be v surprised if the latter.

Yeah, if someone comes in it’ll probably be someone no one on here has mentioned.
There will then follow meltdown comments about him being untried, past it, crap in the air, slow, not suitable, a troublemaker, injury prone * delete as appropriate!

 

[Osei Yaw]

I haven't caught up with the last few pages of the thread but are there any credible rumours? I saw one on Twitter that said we're after Conor Coventry - he'd be a great addition!

None of the above, but poor attitude!

Yeah, I think that one’s gathering pace unlike Wildschut!

Is there a difference between having a poor attitude and being a troublemaker? Maybe you’re always making trouble, but with a great positive attitude whilst doing it

Why didn't they sign for us earlier in the window? They don't want to be here/we must their last resort/a mercenary

Young Dane Scarlett might be an option as a striker.

I think we need another forward, but also a winger.

2 in and 1 out on loan McGinty perhaps, and if we can offload Murphy that would be great too.

Scarlett played for Spurs last night, so doubt hes going anywhere

He also comes with pretty dreadful reviews from Portsmouth, where he was last season

I don't see the point in loaning in another young striker. We've just signed Perkins and O'Donkor is coming along nicely. If we're going to sign another striker, it surely has to be an experienced one or we may as well stick with what we have

There's a journalist stating that he will go on loan before the deadline has passed.

If it is Manning Futbol you can probably ignore it.

More to the point, it proves that a random
Rumour (made up) can be posted on here - then someone puts it on twitter as a rumour. Then someone on here goes oh it must have legs as it’s on twitter also (two sources - when actually it’s the same made up source) and goes in a vicious circle.
It’s a good demonstration on how easy it is to spread a rumour with no backing, this is the same 92 times over with every club and why the transfer window has become a game/business in itself - since everyone wants the latest and info first. Im as guilty as anyone - checking this thread way to regularly for essentially a load of nonsense. Won’t stop me checking again tomorrow though - we will never learn. ‍♂

Exactly. What I was trying to get at but you worded it far more succinctly

Evan Ferguson then

Nope. Reliable journalist. No direct link to us, so I'm speculating that he could be someone that we'd enquire about. Sure we have been linked in the past (like many a signing we have subsequently made).
