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

[Jim Levenstein]

Would say the former is more realistic, if his current club takes a dose of realism.

How long till the player himself takes it into his own hands and starts misbehaving, refuses to play etc. This could be one of the only ever chances he gets at full-time football given his age and the club are dragging it out running risk of it falling through.

Going by the character that Maher & Co. Seem to be looking at I would assume he wouldn't misbehave but would put in some good performances for the club he is currently employed to until such time the transfer happens.

Yeah that’s all nice in a few leagues above where everyone is professional and have full-time contracts on better money.This is a concrete chance for this guy to play full-time which he may never get again taking age into account.

 

[Blue Yonder]

I would say so, yes. Feel we need a smaller, pacier-type central forward to complement what we have.

Ah right. Is that what he is ? I haven't seen him play apart from the few minutes from a game posted up here which was tricky to follow but thought he was a 1 for 1 with Cardwell. Pace would be very handy.

Very trure. I hope he behaves as @jarvisyeh says though, while privately making his feelings clear respectfully but clearly to Rushall (if he feels that's needed). I agree, this could potentially turn into one of those 'what if' moments for him otherwise.

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

Powell is an interesting one as he has real pace and high fitness levels and has been a key part of the high press we've played. He also creates so many chances which often turn in frustrating wasted chances. I agree he adds something to our squad but can't see where he fits into a starting 11 if we add some of the strikers suggested. He could be one who suffers because of us returning to being a normal football club as he goes from starter to bench warmer.

Agreed

So what's people thoughts I’m hoping for at least 1 striker in before Saturday .

Wish granted

 

[Taters123]

Let’s sign everyone !!

 

[Callumturner22]

Wish granted

 

[leeblue]

Is there any scenario where kev doesn't offer a contract to those players that have literally endured and fought with everything they have?
How can they not be extended.

Now we can field a balanced team with options, let's start injecting some fear into this division in the 2nd half of the season!

I imagine with Walker it would be a loan for the rest of the season - Burton may just want Walker out getting game time and regaining his confidence as he's still young. As quite rightly pointed out, the new manager could impact and certainly slow things down. Tom Hopper is a perfect example: the Cowley brothers come in and immediately confirm Hopper was a player they'd tried to sign a number of times in the past, they start him in their first game and he has a blinder.

Hearing Leyton Orient are one team interested in Walker and they're in League One - so no guarantee, like Harrison Neal, that we'll sign Walker given there's teams higher up the pyramid in for him too.

Waldron, on the other hand, is getting extremely closer. The issue I spoke about with the sell-on fee has seemingly resolved and terms with the player are not a problem - he wants the move. Southend are keen to get it resolved before Saturday's game.

Hearing Dackers is also a distinct possibility - a few people have said he cannot play for another team this season. That's not true. He's only been on loan at Altrincham. Woking was last season.

Hope this answers a few questions

Said it was a distinct possibility and it's happened - does not mean Waldron is off, seen a few suggest that might be the case. Rushall are still digging their heels in as it stands and trying to get as much as they can. Saw someone post this link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-67414667 - that's obviously a factor, as is the fact he's one of their most prized assets and this is the highest level they've played at.

In other news, 5 subs tomorrow, things we love to see

100% this it nice for us to make teams think a little more now to what team they may face now we can adapt little more with finally some different options .

I think this is where we all get a bit too sentimental. We want to move forward as a club so if a better player becomes available and they fit the profile we want personality wise etc then I would have no issue whatsoever with us improving. That is what we all want and that is the cut throat business of football. Really grateful for players like Vilhete coming in and helping but would I be gutted if he went - not really. The teams who are successful arent successful because they are nice to ex players etc they are successful because they are always trying to improve.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

I sold Kensdale to Charlton for £220k on Football Manager if that helps

450k to Brum mate

 

[BoyWonder2]

One SHOULD be announced today. Obviously I can’t guarantee it because I’m hold zero influence over it, but it should be done all being well.

That’s one done and dusted

i'd be looking at keeping him to cover the wing backs, it's probably between him, JD, and loans if anything happens to one of them

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

You say that, but as he is under 23, wouldn't Salford require a fee as compensation for 'training', irrespective of whether he is out of contract or not? One of our younger players went at the end of his contract and the decision on fee went to tribunal but I can't remember who it was now

i think it depends on whether they release him or not. if they're loaning him out this late into his contract they probably think he hasn't got a future there. different if the club wants to keep them I think

do we need to keep refreshing this afternoon or are we done and dusted for today?

Dasted surely?
