Transfer News, Gossip & Speculation Summer/Autumn Transfer Targets/Rumours Thread 2022

[Ozzer]

What type of player is Rutherford?

A Phil Brown type of player

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

It's a different type of optimism than other optimisms we've had before don't you think?

Different types of optimism? Interesting idea. Why not - sounds good to me.

 

[Target man]

My local too. I had better get up there and find this fella.

And mine. Live 10 mins walk away.

Not gonna share every bit of speculation that does the rounds because there would be 50 names a week, but this afternoon I've heard we're interested in Max Krechmar from Woking who is out of contract

That is interesting. Max Kretzschmar is a 28 year midfielder who scores a fair number of goals.

Most of his goals are penalties I believe?

That will be useful.

Scored 13 goals this season. 9 of them from the spot. Just the 1 miss in 10 spot kicks. Impressive.

Imagine being awarded 10 penalties in a season…..

[Andy_S]

Max Kretzschmar is a really decent player at this level and I’d like to think he was someone we’d look at, but I can’t see him leaving Woking to be honest. He’s involved in the Academy there too.

What do you usually drink mate? Are you there often?

My guess is there will be a further 6 signings before the first league game of the season which could include a couple of loans , I wonder if those offered new contracts might be wise to make their decisions early, as say Clifford may find himself surplus to requirements.

 

[Target man]

That will be useful.

Especially in this team! Lol

I can't believe people on here haven't worked out that these accounts just trawl message boards like this for info and then post it as ITK. There's a Southend twitter site that does this all the time.

I didn’t believe it just posted what had been tweeted. Like most of us were all refreshing stuff all the time but most of us know when the info is spam

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

What the news on Louis Lomas so far? I don’t remember the club announcement an new signing on Saturday and Sunday before.

 

[Streaky]

I think Kev has said he want to operate with a smaller squad & dive into loans when needed.. so how many more signings do we need 5-7? Depending on how many take up their offers

I thought we would need around 10 new faces in after the squad releases so reckon another 8 including loans. I’d guess around 5 permanent signings with 3 loans. I’d make defence, wingbacks (both sides) and central midfield those most in need.

Central midfield.

Has been our biggest problem for at least 3-4 seasons.

If we are going to go up next season it’s crucial we get this right.

Couldn’t agree more. Would love to see Neal back there and then add some real quality in terms of playmaking/goals. If we can add a 10 goal a season midfielder it could be the difference to making playoffs or not.
