2018 summer transfer thread

I still wouldn't rule out him turning up here on loan.

That would be one hell of a loan signing.

No-one mentioned this one? Was being mentioned on here as a potential, I think Bradford are spying on us!

A good player - and moving to Bradford will presumably mean little to no change in his domestic situation so I can see the attraction for him.

 

[Microbe]

Doesnt he look delighted to be there!

I’m not convinced we were chasing Sean Scannell anyway, I haven’t seen any real credible links, though he would have been a good signing and he’ll prove to be just that at Bradford who have made some very good signings.

Have we recently been linked with anyone new? I know we are actively searching for another cf for example but haven’t seen any names being mentioned.

Time is marching on - I suspect C.P. will either have someone who is hopeful of getting to sign or will, as a Plan B, instead be turning towards the loan market - which is for me not nearly so good an alternative.

And no - I haven't heard any rumours and both my butcher and greengrocer are none the wiser either.

Just seen that Billericay have signed Jay Emmanuel-Thomas... football is going mad.

Was about to say something similar. Plus Tamplin is clearly mad!

He has indeed. Did you see the spat between Gary Neville and Andy Holt on Twitter? About paying Rooney £4k a week and buying their way into the league.

Andy even disclosed Stanley's current wage bill [£932k] and overall budget [£1.1m].

I did mate yeah, I personally have no problem with rich people buying football clubs and spending money and I find it funny when other owners do just because someone richer than them can throw their money around more. It is still however an absolute farce when at the level Salford and especially Billericay are at players are earning the sort of wages they are.

I'm confused, have they signed him or not? and more importantly how long until they become a genuine competition to southend in terms of signing players?

From their Twitter account, no they haven't, they are still in talks.

Q. How long until they become genuine competition for signing players?
A. Fossetts Farm will be built and fully operational before that becomes even a vague possibility.

that's actually a very interesting question. Depends how long Tamlin stays around before getting bored/having no more money available
