A Bit of Fun Summer Transfer Thread !!!

[bess30]

Who knows he's next interview after that at the training ground he said next week and maybe 2 players it's getting silly now a few days ends up being nxt week then nxt week becomes the wkend and stil nothing!!!!

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

I suppose you would have been disappointed to see him at Roots Hall..

I certainly wouldn't be excited. Seen him play didn't think he was that good. Wasn't good enough to get a contract again either. We will see whos right come the season

 

[blueveined]

Id take some convincing about White at centre half. I'm sure he can 'do a job' there, but 46 games is a different matter unless our captain is now considered a reserve?

i remember Chris Barker as being the best left back we had at the time, once someone finally had the sense to swap him and Prosser around.

Having seen him play there at Billericay and today at Braintree I'd be VERY worried if we started the season with him playing at CB.

So Brownie saying definitely signing one this week and possibly one of the trial-lists which suggests he doesn't rate the rest. Wonder who the definite one is? Worrell. Who would we think is the one trial list we might go for? Fagan, or is it all another smoke screen

Yep, sounds like Worrall to me (CP "he wants to join us'). As for the loanee I'd go for Hoyte......wasn't he the 'unearthed diamond' or something like that? For me, central defence is the big headache. If Cort is not the answer......... I have big doubts about White and Thompson appears to have injury issues........then we need to find one pdq and not seven or eight games into the season. There is also a need to temporarily replace Timlin (three-month loan). It's only when these issues have been sorted, that I'll be a lttle more assured about next seasons prospects.

Yes I noticed that........finished with a handshake didn't it?.........probably just a red heering........couldn't see a contract in his other hand! :smile: If PB is to be taken strictly at his (written) word then there is a clear differentiation between 'We will' and 'We could.' "We WILL make a signing," I'm assuming that refers to Worrall. We COULD sign ONE of the trialists..................that surely infers that we MAY not sign any of them.

Is that anything like an Eskimo kiss? :unsure:

He erring :blush::smile:

 

[Jam_Man]

Well Leon Cort doesnt sound too promising :
Chris Phillips

Hearing rumours that Leon Cort is thinking of retiring. Yet to be confirmed though. @SUFCRootsHall @Essex_Echo

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Cort's retirement now confirmed:

Chris Phillips ‏@CJPhillips1982 9m
Cort: "I decided last night to hang up my boots. I just feel it's time." @SUFCRootsHall @Essex_Echo

 

[Jam_Man]

Not a massive surprise. At 34 he would have had to be in very good shape to be of use and he just hasnt played enough.

 

[Smiffy]

Cort's retirement now confirmed:

Jesus, I misread that and thought BBBC had hung his boots up. Phew. :stunned:

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Respect Cort's decision. Taking him on for a year would have been a decision with obvious risks and seeing the results of previous returnees didn't exactly fill one with confidence. Don't think Cort was ever going to fit in with PB's 46 games a season criteria. I really hope that there will be news soon concerning a CB, either trialists, signing or loan arrangement, in the VERY near future. With Worrall's signing hopefully imminent this is the absolute N°1 priority as far as I'm concerned .........I still have nightmares about our central defence February/March last season!:winking:

 

[Shrimper]

On to the next trialist then.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

So, Fagan remains. The question is, do we need Worrall AND Fagan??? PB did say that we MAY sign one of the trialists....there again perhaps we may not!

 

[Shrimper]

I wouldn't say I'd be that bothered about if we get Fagan or not. Two new trialists have come in apparently, one is a center-back.

 

[kentblues]

So, Fagan remains. The question is, do we need Worrall AND Fagan??? PB did say that we MAY sign one of the trialists....there again perhaps we may not!

Yes- because Fagan can also play up front in a 442 which is from all of our friendlies what we seem to be going for- add to the comments from Corr about having a partner up front

Corr, Barnard, Weston, Williams, Fagan, Ellis Brown can play in front two

Hurst, Weston, Atkinson, Fagan, Ellis Brown plus maybe if we are lucky Worrell wide

Looks about right
Also well balanced re right and left footers

 

[blueveined]

Rotherham have announced their squad numbers for the new season. As far as I can see Worrall has not been given a number - make of that what you will!
