If so....He's under contract until July 2020 (so presume it would be on a loan basis, as we rarely pay transfer fee's).

Question is, if SCP is looking at a pacy winger & producing a younger squad this season, do we need another 31+ year old running our flanks.

And if a players under contract another manager can’t just rock up and nick a player!! Anyway would SCP go all that way for him seriously it’s laughable, let’s move on , so where’s Ricky Holmes? Getting much game time lately?
 
Here's a strange League One transfer story i recently read about....

Conor Townsend the left back at Scunthorpe was a player from Hull since his youth days from 2001 until 2016, when after going out on loan many times they eventually sold him on a free transfer to Scunthorpe. But part of that "free deal" was that Hull had put in a 40% sell on clause on his contract when they sold him to the Scunnies 2 years ago.

Anyway, their chairman has recently turned down £360,000 bids from Championship clubs, West Brom, Ipswich and (Hull to buy him back), but refused as he is holding out for a £600,000 bid from other teams.

I get the Ipswich bid, but not the Hull one.....So in all reality, they refused a 360k bid from Hull, in order to sell him to another club for 600k (with Hull getting a 40% cut that figure, it works out at a cost of a 240k of that £600k transfer fee still going to Hull)
Meaning that Scunthorpe will still only get 360k...

Most Bizarre!!!..... Especially when you add in to the fact that his contact expires at the end of the month (less than a week) & he can walk for free.

Even more so, when you think that Scunthorpe could barely field a team last night in their friendly with Nott's Forest due to a thin squad already and added to that some suffering from injuries.

Chris Powell was up at Stoke yesterday talking to a potential signing. It was rumoured that the player had previous ties with the club. Both Tyrone Barnett and Worrell are currently at Port Vale which is very close to Stoke.
False information! The only winger we were interested in and stil maybe is Holmes and the link we have with him is that he’s born and bread local!! We maybe and most prob are after another winger or forward without any link

Chris Powell was at Stoke - True
It was rumoured that the player had previous ties - True
Worrell and Barnett are both at Port Vale - True
Port Vale is close to Stoke - True

So which part of that lot is false information?

The player may not have ties to the club but unless Chris Powell was lying to the Bishops Stortford management on his reason for being late (and I don't have cp down as a liar), he was in Stoke talking to a player

I didn’t say he wasn’t in Stoke?

I was actually answering a previous poster that asked there the Worrell rumour had come from. But I'll settle for being a numpty that says FAULSE stuff, works for me:Smile2:

I think it was an unreasonable reaction to rootshallbloke's post and I was pointing out there is an element of truth to what he said. Yes the rest is speculation, but that's what these boards are about, it's a dull quiet pre season without it

Ok point taken, it’s better to read good information tho thinking he would travel all that way for worrell !! Seriously!!

You never know what is good information on here really, I only trust it when I see it in the echo. Still enjoy reading speculation though, keeps me sane when there is no competitive football haha
 
I liked David Worrall, and was sad he left because I thought he was doing a useful job for us.
But wasn't it reported that he had a drink problem, and his time keeping suffered?

I know after his child died anyone can fall off the wagon, but does anyone know if this was the case or just a rumour?

If it still is the same then would we need the disruption to the squad .
 
If SCP was in Stoke it doesn’t mean to say the player is from that area. It could be the only time they can meet up and SCP has to get back for s game. The player could come from further up North.
 
Only just noticed that Peterborough have sold Jack Marriott to Derby. That’ll hurt them, it’ll be tough to replace 30 goals that’s for sure!

Scunny would have to give Hull 40% cashback if Hull re-purchased him, plus I think he has another year not week on his contract.
 
Chrissy Powell is really just a keen collector of Wedgewood, hence the trip to Stoke.



Then again he could have been for a cuppa with Peter Crouch....
