Rumoured to require £250-£300k to secure his services on a perm.

I suspect they would take somewhat less given they have been trying to shift him at that for a while but the wages will be an issue for anyone trying to do a perm deal.

Makes you wonder how we were ever in for him when they want that much. I know we were trying to loan him but it still makes no sense how we were in the frame.

If they can loan him and the loan club pays, say, 50-70% of his wage, and he goes and scores a bunch of goals they are left with a player at the end who has grown in value rather than dropped as he would sitting in the reserves there.

All depends when his contract is up really, he's 27 and getting no younger. I don't see the value in a loan myself from their pov

They have made enough money by poaching from the National League, I think they should take a loss on him and move on.

I guess they have a player that they committed £300k in a fee + £x a week for 3 years. He’s not cutting the mustard, so they are on damage limitation. Whether a fee or a loan to clip away the wages

I think he's got another two years there and they will have a problem finding a perm club that will match what he is currently on so this is why I personally see a loan as more likely on top of potentially better resale conditions in six months or a year.

Yeah agree I think they are hanging out for a buyer but it is a big ask, they won't get near what they are currently asking for. They either accept a lower price or he will go out on loan as a second choice I fancy.

Swindon have money issues last season

 

[palexander]

Apparently posh bought someone from Swindon last season, still owe them money on that deal, so it’s kinda driving tshminaga to them as a make weight to cancel down some/all of that debt.

Still the big question, who is going to pick the ball up in rhe middle of the park and drive at the oppo, looking to take players on etc. We still.lack that player imo.
Wood seems not to be in Mahers plan and I still believe he could be that guy.

Pedder would fit the bill.

Paul McCallum not at Eastleigh friendly today, possibly Forest green bound.

They were apparently in for Tshimanga (and Moncur) as well and were offering very good “eye watering” wages. A move for McCallum now makes sense, they obviously have a big budget.

They are obviously looking to bounce back at the first attempt, a team to be wary of this season imo.

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Aaaah finally we have the new Wrexham and chesterfield to use this season … if it wasn’t for forest green rovers … I’d suggest we concentrate on ourselves .. much needed signings that are significant improvements are needed .. I’ve said it once I’ll say it again it will be some sort of miracle if we end up in the promotion race this season -and through seeing all but one friendly nothings changed my mind just yet

 

[shrimperjon]

spoke to Crowther, Husin and Pedder today. Husin said he will be fit for Hartlepool, Crowther a little way behind and Pedder has a slight hamstring so didnt feature today. I asked him if he was going to sign and he said hopefully just sorting things out. Husin said he hoped he did as in his words he is 'quality' so watch this space

Attacking midfielder or two has to be a priority. Its the most obvious flaw in our team for two seasons

Coupled with a transfer embargo of course
