2016 Summer Transfer Thread

[RHB]

If not Zamora then Luke Varney (Ipswich) and Simon Cox (Reading) might fit the description

Cox could be a distinct possibility. Recently linked with Burton.

How about Cox and £200k in exchange for Ben?

 

[Angell Delight]

Just a punt.

JET was rumoured to be on around £25k p/w until recently and at just 25 years old I doubt he'll take such a massive drop in wages. Would be extremely surprised but I guess stranger things have happened.

Cox is a free agent.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Cox is a free agent.

And would be a great signing. Not sure about the wages though!

There's plenty of them in the stands already

Simon Cox would be an unbelievably good signing IMHO. More likely to be Varney. Cox's wage demands likely to be 3/4x what we would pay I would imagine.

Luke Varney has played most of his career t'up north. Not sure why he wouldnt want to play up there.

and only one season with double figures.

U know that it will turn out to be a U21 from some where that we have never heard of!

also noticed on Twitter that CP said that PB wants a squad of 20 with a couple of loanees. Doesn't leave many spaces to fill on that basis

played alongside Barry Corr. No doubt Barry will have kind words about us

Simon Cox would be a hell of a signing be amazed if it was him and he actually signed!

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

I'd be very surprised if we could afford Cox but if we can pull it off that would be a hell of a signing for us.

Varney, 34 in September, poor goal scoring record, no ta.

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

Why does the word "pedigree" make me think old and injured?

Perhaps the striker with pedigree is a "chum" of Phil's ........ and hopefully not an old dog .........

Makes me think of gorgeous warm beer :cheers:

 

[Ricey]

For all those thinking Jonathan Kimbabu is a credible source.

 

[Ricey]

Assume this will be Oxley.

 

[Bratislava Blue]

Assume this will be Oxley.

I'd like it to be someone else in addition to Oxley... But I think I maybe disappointed :thumbdown:

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Just a punt.

I do hope there wasn't a typing error in that statement ....................:unsure:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Simon Cox would be a hell of a signing be amazed if it was him and he actually signed!

I think someone said on the other thread that it wasn't him. Cox had an amazing season in 2008/09 but he's scored just one goal since 2014 so this might not be a bad thing.

Strikers have good seasons and bad seasons ........... and you have to ask who else was in the team and how it was set-up.

And besides, shouldn't we be "resetting the clock" when a player drops down a division? Logic would suggest that it might be easier to score when a player is in such a situation ............. or perhaps not? :'(
