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

[Leeboy]

So we only have 16 perms (not long term injured) and 2 loans? That’s not a lot if 1 or 2 are also carrying knocks. Could even end up with a short bench again.

my thoughts exactly - if Coker isn't fully fit we will have 5 subs yes, but all it takes is another injury tomorrow then we'll be down to 4 subs

Luxury .

Seriously, I would imagine that at the stage we are now, if the amigos feel we need more numbers, then that will be achieved.

 

[Flinty]

Perhaps the management team have identified that we play better with only 1 sub !

 

[SUFCGoals]

Wonder what's happening with Wilkinson

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Sharpening his blades

Perhaps a view has been taken that the play offs are gone, so there's no point paying players who are unlikely to feature much this year. In the meantime we look to strengthen if the right player becomes available.

should never sign players to fill the bench sorry every player we sign she either be with the intention of playing in the 1st team or a view ti the future ,not to be a bench warmer

Not only that, the Consortium still do not own SUFC and won't do officially for some weeks yet!

Suprised. But the deal was taking a long time.

Not surprised.

He's a cut above the rest

 

[JB Shrimper]

Sad if true but we need a decent attacking mid so I hope the next name on the whiteboard is achievable

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

He's not the best a man can get

May e true but I would have liked to see the likes of Wilkinson come in now, get some experience at this level, and be ready for next season. Our squad is still small and our recent activity is the release of two players.

 

[CC51DAS]

Perhaps we feel we’ve got enough players ‘in the development process’ and are going for someone with a bit more experience??

 

[Mr. Benedict]

It could also be that Hitchin wanted more for him than we were willing to pay, or maybe demanded other clauses that we found unacceptable.

 

[Rob1920]

I'm all for the whole finding cheap young talent at lower levels thing, as I often said when we were signing old injured has-beens on crazy money. However having just signed three more players in that catagory (the first one), I'm not sure we shouldn't be mixing in a bit of experience from at least our current level, or if we are seriously ambitious do what Wrexham or Chesterfield did and go after one or two currently playing in L2. Yes it means paying them enough money to persuade them to drop down but there must be plenty of decent L2 standard player not earning much more than most of our squad are on. We're still a bigger club and more attractive prospect now we've (almost) been taken over than a good few of the current L2 clubs. So for that reason I'm not too bothered we've pulled out of this one.
