Transfer News Transfer Window Summer 21

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

If we can get him fit and realising his potential he'll be great for us. A real investment and hopefully a sign of intent. Lee, Shodipo and Barker now please!

 

[Berliner]

Oh come on Oxford, that's massively out of order. You should have let Bazzer get at least one "have we signed anyone yet" in before making a signing.

Although in fairness, now Scotchers can say "Well, we signed MacGuane early" in response to every bit of criticism in the close season.
One giveth to the forum with one hand, one taketh away with the other.

Wouldn’t have passed the medical..

Eh, medicals are more of a report than a pass/fail thing. Issues can be flagged up in medicals that clubs could use to negotiate a lower wage/transfer fee but wouldn't prevent signings outright if the club really wanted to push ahead with a deal.

That’s exactly what will happen. You couldn’t have let us enjoy this for just one second could you

Henry Brannagan McGuane Gorrin Sykes. What a set of options for our midfield 3.

Best in league one.

Best in league one.

Not bad for the Championship

+Clare and Chambers-Parillon.

+Clare and Chambers-Parillon.

With Clare Sykes and Agyei able to play wide right, we maybe don’t need to sign a winger for that position - put the money into Barker on the left

Like it but if we remain in L1 I'd like a bit more of a nasty physical player option in there as well, for those battles against those fatty Evansish physical anti football teams we sometime struggle against.

Nah, no square pegs in round holes next season. We need a natural right winger.

Suspect Lee will come in permanently as well and be another option for wide right.

Isn't that 'Please book me ref' Gorrin?

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Nah, no square pegs in round holes next season. We need a natural right winger.

As it stands, squad sizes next will season will be limited to 20 players. 18 outfield players. We are going to have to have some players who can play in various positions.

You can't actually fail a medical, it's just a report in a players condition.

KR sounded very confident that the squad size would be bigger than 20 in an interview (either after the game or in the 5 minute forum) last week.

'insider dealing' with the new PFA chairman?

I think those players do well in that position and complement the more traditional left winger

 

[Mad Dog]

If we could somehow manage to convince Brannagan and Ruffels to sign new deals, and could manage to sign Barker and Lee, then before any further additions, this is the squad we could already have next season:

Stevens
Eastwood

Long
Moore
Atkinson
Ruffels?
McNally

Gorrin
Brannagan?
McGuane
Henry
Sykes
Barker?
Forde
Clare
Hanson

Taylor
Agyei
Winnall
Lee?

Winnall signed for 2 years, so he'll be here next season, and to be fair, he has contributed well in recent games, so hopefully, after a full preseason, he'll get even fitter.
Hanson also has a year left, so will be going nowhere, but has shown himself to be useful full back cover.

If we could get that squad sorted, a few additions, such as a winger, CB, full back cover, and striker, a couple of which would have to be young loans, then what a squad we could have next season!

Gonna be an exciting summer...
