Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2023-24 (Part 2 - Back in Business. Oh no we’re not)

I’m finding it really strange that CP is naming targets.

Maybe his sources confirming it are outside the club?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

I see rushall Olympic have sold one of their strikers tonight to Halifax . Would that delay our move for Waldron

I don't necessarily think so for this reason:

Rushall Olympic needs a new stand or faces relegation

Promotion means the Walsall football club needs a new stand soon or it could be relegated.

Whilst Burton have agreed a deal to sign a striker on loan from Man Utd… I wonder if that will speed up any exit for Walker?

Same... since Kev came out and had a moan, CP has posted a few transfer snippets ahead of time. Guess its "done" by the time he posts, otherwise its just bizarre - Chris reports Kev is annoyed at leaks, Chris posts leaks.

 

[Liam AAS]

Chris will get loads of info off the record and will be constantly asking the club when he can publish.

LS was about unnamed sources leaking the club's strategy to an anonymous twitter account. CP is a real person doing journalism.

If we Dackers, Crowther and Kabongolo all got in the box for free kicks and corners we would have 19ft 6 inches in the penalty area for starters

Dackers is reported to be 6.7", Kabongola is 6.4" Crowther is ? 6.4" Cardwell 6.3" add in Kensdale 6.3" and the leaping Salmons, Ralph and Scott Morris
Then theres Harry Taylor 6.2"
If a few balls just bounced off the back of their heads we should score a few more from set pieces, although we might not want to come up against too many speedy Callum Powells whilst defending

With all that height, you just know we'll start playing it in low...

Off the three strikers mentioned i would love to see Josh Walker join on a permanent if we were to only be able to get 1 of the 3 ,being greedy i would be more than happy with all 3 though ,To be honest i would prefer permanents to loanees , unless we have them on loan with the option of buying at seasons end.

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Imagine if we signed all 3 strikers, I wouldn't know what to do!!

Sell Powell.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Sell Powell.

He's not a striker.

I still have to pinch myself that we are in this position. There were people wanting to play over a park with a new name, just to get rid of Ron. We now have our club back, talking about the choice between three strikers. It's unbelievable when you think about it! Enjoy it fellow shrimpers.

 

[Petejames]

He's not a striker.

What is he then

 

[Liam AAS]

Sell Powell.

No way, the man is chaos personified. He's inconsistent but great off the ball and offers something totally different to the other players we have.

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

What is he then

I think he's more a winger. He was another bought to play wide left in a 343 like mooney on the right. He's been played up front as a number 10. He's not really a central mid in the box midfield. Not sure he's up to replacing bridge. I'd say he's surplus to requirements too if we are being tough.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

What is he then

He's very much a grey area attacker in my opinion

If we play a 4-4-2 he's a wide midfielder imo

But with the way Maher sets up, he's used as a striker.

Depends how you define "Striker" as he's certainly not a centre forward

Agree with everything except this.

He's a massive threat and we need players like that

Agreed one of my favourite players

He’s not a winger … he’s a off the shoulder striker imo… tryjng to get in behind the defence… I’ve never seen him cross a ball and he wouldn’t track back as a winger

More midriff than shoulder

I also think that his attitude and work ethic is an influence on the squad as a whole , and is an example to the younger players too.

He seems to give 100% and trains hard and if this has contributed to the squads current attitude , and continues to do so , then the man is an asset.
