Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2024/25 - Time to Cook 👨‍🍳

Exactly this . Whilst I agree that Moncur is a good addition I must admit that I have been slightly disappointed with his lack of quality when shooting . he has had a number of great chances in the last two games but doesn’t appear to have the confidence to put his foot through the ball. Noor also is a pretty passing player but seems to panic when he sees the whites of the goalposts .. perhaps in this new way of playing football midfielders don’t shoot anymore …..

This is what they were saying on Match of the Day 2 yesterday, that a lot of managers don't encourage it. I can never understand this, particularly when there's a strong wind or gale blowing behind and it's not so difficult to get a good shot on target from 30 yards or more.

Without our RWB scoring 6 this season we are dog **** in front of goal.

I wonder what GSM's release clause is set at?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

We've never had a decent set piece taker under Maher thats the main problem, so lack of goals from them both direct and indirect. No one seems capable of unleashing a decent long range striker either. A lot of teams at this level prioritise set pieces.

Oli Coker?

Hopefully, there isn't one!..

 

[BoyWonder2]

I don’t believe there is.

However, I struggle to see him staying beyond January at this rate. The EFL beckons for him.

This is sadly true. It would be criminal for him to be a NL player next season, let's be honest.

Brilliant player, but more than that, fantastic attitude too. That is priceless in a player and further proof to the type of profile the club wants.

Any sound bites on potential signings?

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

Perhaps the next signing should be a set piece or better still an attack coach

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

I've told Gus he can't leave, as I'd have to totally change my SZ profile.

Agreed. GSM is probably a League One player right now. Our only hope is we get a decent fee and Wind turns out to be a useful replacement.

Somewhere like Peterborough might be good for all parties. They have a nose for a non-league gem, seem to pay well and a lot go on to be sold for good money (Nice sell-on clause for us)

At 27 I don't believe he fits their age profile. They like to sign players in the 20-24 age bracket who they feel will hold better re-sale value.

A move to someone like Wrexham,Charlton or Rotherham would be much more likely imo.

 

[Callumturner22]

Correct. Collin was GK for the SEEVIC college team (That Tilly coached) I believe, before he sent him our way.

So he's made a huge step up to be fair to him.

He was at Southend college when I was there . And then yes Steve ask Danny to take Collin on trial and it went from there .

I keep saying. Give Wind a chance.

 

[WillMay333]

Can’t give Wind any game time when Gus is scoring all our goals at the minute

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Thought Collin was bought to our attention by Tilly but never came through our academy..

He was brought to our attention by Tilly as a 17year old and played for both our academy and u23s.

E.g. this is him lining up for the u18s alongside Oli Coker and Charlie Sayers (Kenny Coker and Jaden Crowhurst also made first team appearances)

Never mind GSM might not be here after Jan. The rate it's going neither will Kev, Darren or Mark

Interesting. Would you care to expand?

 

[Finney on the wing]

Think a fit Cav Miley can do that.

Miley is a yard too slow hence the frequent 'pullbacks' and associated yellow cards. We need a couple of proper bullys who are quick and forward thinking

 

[WillMay333]

They've unequivocally earned this full season. With the squad growing, and once injuries return and we have a viable bench, only then we can make proper judgement.

I'm of the mind we've been poor this season, but unless we're seriously in a relegation battle, they deserve every chance to build their squad and play their football.

I'd have a lot of money that they will be. Certainly from the club's perspective.
