The spotty kid that everyone said was wrong on Cousens etc. Reckons Wigan are getting Rochdale’s Humphry’s.
I don’t know if this spending is manageable for their new owners but if they get him & Fraser they will be looking very strong.0 -

But Mullin wants to move back up north with Bolton his likey destinationcafcfan1990 said:
I agree with this. I'd definitely take a punt on Mullin but having him and Schwartz as two of the four is a risk I wouldn't want to take. If we're serious about winning this league, or even fighting for promotion, we need someone a bit more proven to compete with Stockley. I personally want someone who can hold the ball up if we're going to play 433. Mullin would be a decent replacement for Schwartz though if he goes.Cafc43v3r said:
Certainly not if we still have Ronnie.Braziliance said:Tbf I think Paul Mullin is worth a punt on a free and for the right wage, if we could get him on a 2-3 year contract I would take him. He could either replicate last season's form and storm the league or be an option off of the bench, if we go up or stay in the division I am sure he would have takers.0 -
I wouldn't want Lapado, already got Stockers. Eisa would fit this team like a glove imo, would be the perfect link for Stockley and the midfield if we are gonna play a 4231. He's a runner and holds the ball well, if the price was right I would be very happy with him.Cafc43v3r said:
Out of a squad of 20 you would have 5 strikers? Doesn't leave much wiggle room, when have we ever had 5 first team strikers?golfaddick said:
No, I'd be adding a fifth striker. A young, fast whippersnapper (akin to Karlan Grant).Cafc43v3r said:

Why would that matter? Last season we had Chuks, Ronnie, Washington, most seasons we have 3-4 strikers, as long as he could be fit into the budget I don't see the harm. It could have finally clicked for him and we could reap the rewards or he's a one season wonder, we take the risk and send him out.

Stockley
Washington
Massive gamble
Ronnie
As your 4 strikers?
At the moment we only have 3 strikers, one of which (Schwartz) is untried & untested. I think Ronnie will come good but there is no certainty and we need a proven goalscorer, especially one that is not over 6ft tall
@Braziliance of course we need midfielders, wingers, defenders etc as well. But this is why losing Chuks was such a big deal, much more than I think people realise yet. To get someone like Lapado or Eisa (who people have said would be good signings) you have to pay good money and good wages, else it's a gamble on someone totally unproven.
If anything happened to Stockley in that scenario we would be absolutely screwed.
There's so many good players in this league, I know it's easier said than done and it's not my money but around 2.5-3 mill and you could buy such a good squad in this league that could be championship ready0 -

He’s said it’s waiting on Fraser to decide.Cafc43v3r said:

He’s also said we’ll win the league. Given he was right about Cousins he’s probably right about this.

Although he was pictured training with MK Dons today, so perhaps Jarvo is making it all up.0 -

Yeah, of course, because you can’t sign them or announce them until they are out of contract .....I’m amazed we managed to sign and announce MacGillivray today.RonnieMoore said:Reading between the lines what NA and SG are saying would suggest the next few deals will be players who are out of contract on Wednesday ….. we may already have a couple lined up for announcement on Thursday2 -
Wednesday has no more bearing on a player signing than last Tuesday, Thursday 3rd June or Monday 10th July.RonnieMoore said:Reading between the lines what NA and SG are saying would suggest the next few deals will be players who are out of contract on Wednesday ….. we may already have a couple lined up for announcement on Thursday5 -

What lines are you reading between? I firmly believe we have some lined up but I 100% believe they aren't saving them for some arbitrary date.

Under the salary cap rules the squad size was 22 last year & supposed to be 21 for this season & 20 next season. The salary cap has now gone. I'm not sure if the squad sizes have also gone but I thought I read that they had, or at least the EFL were considering changing them.Cafc43v3r said:

But yes, in a squad of 21 I would have 5 strikers. They are they guys that win you games. If 1 gets injured (like Taylor did) and then 1 is off form, or suspended having just 2 left doesn't really get you anywhere.
Obviously the term "striker" can be interchangable with the term "winger" - but I would prefer at least 4 main strikers & another player who can do both - a bit like Grant did.

Scoham said:Boyle played 29 times in L2, Famewo played 22 times in L1Boyle scored 2, Famewo scored 0
Boyle assisted 6, Famewo assisted 1
Boyle averaged 0.5 key passes a game, Famewo had 0.1
Boyle averaged 48 passes per game, Famewo averaged 38
Boyle averaged 69% pass completion, Famewo 70%
Absolute nonsense from that kid. Wouldn’t surprise me if he just looks at Football Manager.1 -

No, he didn't say anything was definite. He's a player we're apparently trying for. Don't believe it to be far along though. Sounds as if we've got some tough competition, but he's local.CharltontillidieCOYR said:

This is the third transfer window under TS and so far our net transfer spend in his reign is -£1.7M. I am now starting to enter “show me” mode. Many here might be fine with lots of frees from other clubs but we are not going up with that strategy, imho. TS talked a lot of game about promotion but I want to start seeing him back that up with actual money spent. The guitar thing only gets so far with me, sorry.23

Can't quite tell if you're fishing but I'll bite either way. Take a look at -£12m in his first season operational loss due to covering costs of the various legal battles, aquisition and losses of 2020/2021 season with no gate money and largely refunded/diverted ST money. Then take into account that these freebies we're signing are POTY for League One clubs and we actually paid a fee for Stockley.
