2018 summer transfer thread

[Benfleet A1]

They can laugh all they want but tell me, when were Sheffield Wednesday ever managed by Bobby Moore?

Yeah, missed a trick there didn't they.

Chris Phillips has tweeted about the club being interested in Lyle Taylor. Would be a very good signing if we could get him in.

A lot of Dervite love but has anyone seen him play regularly since he left us on loan years ago?

Not much after he was with us, but we did see him play several times for Charlton. He was very impressive then and obviously the boss knows him well. We'll have to see but it really wouldn't surprise me if we do go in for him. There's been some big wages moved on this season.

Dervite, Grant and Lyle Taylor

I think I need a lie down

What’s all that about on Lyle Taylor’s Twitter , tweeting Hey to Chrissy Powell

That would be a parody account, unfortunately. Begs the question who has enough spare time to run a parody account of a fairly innocuous L1 footballer

Whats his twitter handle?

It's on the Echo website that we are one of a number of interested clubs.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

He has played up north but would imagine he would be settled down south now. Reckon Powell has made him his number one target to replace Cox.

A Wimbledon ST holder mate of mine thinks he’s well overrated. Let’s not go overboard here!!!

A fellow Womble in my office is of the same opinion.....

There's a few on Shrimperzone ;-)

 

[BriggBlue]

there's a few people (myself included) that have a similar opinion about Cox

 

[Tyga]

Spent a season here in Australia after being released by Swansea. Couldn't get a game in the first team and didn't seem to be anything special. Not sure how that translates to League 1 though.

I just checked it myself, seems very odd.

You must be in the minority then. If you can’t see what Simon Cox brings to the table then you need to watch more football.

Maybe ask Quiet White? That's not only a parody but also a not very nice one towards others.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Why has Taylor got to be a replacement for Cox? We're already needing a replacement for Fortune so why not Cox and Taylor together?:unsure:

Having watched every game on iFollow last season I view Cox as a hugely overrated, underachieving big name who we would be better off without. He doesn't score enough goals, creates few assists but sees too much of the ball without achieving much, to the detriment of other teammates.I hope he goes, his staying will only result in stagnation where we need fresh impetus.

 

[Brett Angle]

If SCP signs his main goal-scoring target (not Taylor) Cox will be moving on this summer. If Cox was going to lead SCP's line next season he would have been made an acceptable offer already. My guess is that, finances permitting, Cox will wind up with a 2 year deal at Swindon with Timlin.
