Transfer News and Gossip Summer/Autumn Transfer Targets/Rumours Thread 2022

[* ORM *]

Have we tried the 8-1-1 counterattack charge yet?

 

[dusterman]

Couldnt agree more... we shouldnt be....but we are. Was really hoping for a refreshing start and something a bit different this season. Why we are is history and cant be changed...its what we do about it in the immedaite future that matters. Fans can play their part by encouraging whatever players Kev puts out there in whatever formation he thinks best. Its great to be able to say our bit on here, but on matchdays I prefer to hear cheers and encouragment rather than negatives. I dont think were too bad at that on the whole.

Exactly, moan after the fact. Give everything during the game. We as a club are at our lowest ebb and that’s when fans need to leave their feelings at the door and display 100% support to the people (players/managenent) who aren’t the issue.

Colin Murphy only got away with that because he had Stan up front.

Can we keep this thread for transfer rumours only please?

If you want to discuss potential formations, start a new thread!

So, any fish ready to be caught? I’d like to think we’d have one through before the next game after the attacking woes on Saturday

 

[Texas Eslan]

I think after Saturdays game we need…

- Two strikers. Reading between the lines I think Cardwell and Murphy won’t be available for a long while (or at least fit enough to start) so we need two more through the door. A Josh Kelly pacy forward and a mobile 6 footer to add the muscle when needed.

- LWB. Sorry Cliff, love you but it’s very clear to me he isn’t quite at the level we need right now. Ralph is not a good enough LWB to step across either. He is a better LB/LCB.

- Centre half. Less important for me but we need back up.

So…any news on signings this week?

 

[Linda Loan Shark]

If you look at our squad the midfield area in the strongest part of the team.... defensively we are lacking strong commanding centre half! In attack we have the likes of Cardwell and Murphy still injured which is unfortunate, we do need another forward asap. I can't really see any permanent signings coming now due to lack of funds so the loan market is our best bet. Problem we currently have interms of getting loans in is clubs higher up the ladder ie prem/champ clubs don't particularly want to send their loans to national league clubs before 31st August when they can loan them to league 1/2 or spl clubs! I would be surprised if kev can get couple loans in this week

Yes agree looks like we will have to wait for the football league transfer window to close before we get any half decent loans.
I wonder if there is anyone left on the free transfer we could take a gamble on

 

[Shrimper Brownie]

Louis Lomas is a player who could potentially fix the problems at the back, but he isn't proven at this level, so I think expecting him to fix the problems would be unfair. He could (potentially) sure up the defence, whilst at the same time moving Ralph across to replace Clifford.

As for at the other end of the pitch, I'm not sure what we can do other than get in a big lump, on-loan striker and hope for the best.

At the end of the day, we are starting the season with a squad which isn't near having a consistent starting XI in it, which isn't for the want of trying - Josh Kelly is a good example - our past reputation, which is being rebuilt as we speak, isn't strong enough yet for clubs to want to deal with us (especially when it involves their best players). A few injuries have left us a little desperate I feel - let's hope we can sort out our problems quickly.

Let's see what the situation is in 9 games time.

I doubt any good ones will be.

 

[Shrimper83]

Clifford is another youngster pushed through because we had no one in that certain position that is just not good enough. Egbri was the same and I'm sure there have been a few others. Time to bring in either a decent centre half so Ralph can play left back or sign a decent left back and leave Ralph where he is.

 

[Linda Loan Shark]

I doubt any good ones will be.

I wonder if Reiss Greenidge is any good? He is on there as a defender

According to transfermarkt Luke Prosser is a free agent. Blast from the past but was playing league 2 last year and left footed.

34 years old now - can you imagine the reaction on here?

Greenidge is an interesting one, 6'6" and played a few games for Bolton in the league. Was on loan at Barnet with a view to a permanent deal but seems like he never signed one.

I know was hesitate to put it on here lol. Was captain at col u so leadership qualities should be there. It just just if the legs have gone or not. Played 27 games last year!!

I read that as 66, first of all. Imagine the SZ reaction to that...

Never go back! He wouldn't want to and neither would most on here want him back, including me.

Greenidge's last 4 games saw Barnet haemorrhage 18 goals (including a whopping 3 to Super-Sharp-Shooting-Southend), so I'd be happy if we steered clear here...

 

[geoffmundo]

Hmm….if Wrexham aren’t going to use him, perhaps we can get Dalby back on a months loan…

Or simply go for a season long loan ..............
