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

[Snowy]

Interactive so when you tap on a players name, it brings up all there stats, time injured etc.
Build this info into our current squads stats and see if it would benefit us.

Oh that's Moneyball...........................sorry.

 

[stewart]

this thread has really deteriorated hasnt it when all people have to talk about is a white board what shape etc it is what colour pens are used on it etc .

 

[Barry.C]

Perhaps different colours for positions on the pitch?

Green = goalie?
Red = striker?
Black = defender?
Blue = midfielder?

This could then be developed further. For instance, an attacking midfielder could be in blue underlined in red .....

Would that make it Purple?

"It's a pen but for who, Chris Kamara"

""I don't know Jeff"

 

[gatecrasher]

The white board may as well have a picture of Lawrie Dudfield on it as we aren't getting anyone until we are sold and that is probably, if at all, going to be last day or July

Would be a good signing at this level IMO

Charlie Sayers released from Spurs at the end of his contract - I wonder if he is someone who could return or whether he is too good for us now?

that is a real shame - im sure they'll be a few teams in the EFL who would be interested in him. On the plus side, he'll have an oppotunity to win something now :-)

Not if he signs for Bayern Munich while Kane is there. And after them signing Kompany as head coach, it's not beyond the realms of reality.

I’m not sure if any connections remain from his time here (I suppose Demi is on the coaching staff now) but this isn’t actually a bad shout as far as ex players returning goes. He’d fit the profile of the type of young player I’d like to recruit as back-up for Ralph in the left-sided centre-back/left wing-back roles.

Will be interested to see what level he ends up at.

Not entirely true... Ron is still owner as well. Did you forget?

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

I can't imagine us signing anyone at the moment let alone someone that's been released from a top 5 PL team.

That being said there are players that want to play first team football week in week out. I read a little piece about a goalkeeper called Patrick Nash not long ago. Rejected a new contract at Everton to sign for Fareham Town I think.

 

[Holy Joe]

Did players contracts expire end of May? Or is it end of June? If the former is GSM still our player?

I believe it's end of June, but correct me if I am wrong. Did we exercise the extension on GSM?

 

[in the know]

It's end of June , and as far as I'm aware it was not actioned before the embargo.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Can we extend contracts under an embargo?

 

[Supershrimper]

Couldn't extend contracts last year when under an embargo.

Believe that's why Sandat moved away as was unable to offer one and why Ralph, Bridge and one other possibly that signed on non-contract terms

 

[Jon h]

Can we extend contracts under an embargo?

Nope

 

[Smiffy]

It will have to be non-contract terms only (from July or until embargo removal) for any we want to keep. Same as Bridge and others agreed to in recent times.

On top of that I'd imagine we are limited on the numbers we can have again as well (18 I presume with the 7 sub rule change) I think we have 12/13 contracted players as things stand.

In short, its turning into a ****ing car crash of a pre-season yet again, which will only be saved by immediate (next few weeks) embargo removal.

 

[Strykr]

Makes you wonder how many top signings we might have made if stewarts had just waited a bit longer.....
