So I have been told that we have cooled our interest in Solomon-Otobor after the knee issues that were highlighted in his medical, he isn't keen to sign a reduced deal and we aren't keen to offer what we initially did before the medical.
We have, however, been in deep discussions with another winger, sounds pretty close.
Be interesting to see how that one develops. Could be that once word gets around about his knee he won't be able to attract the kind of pay he'd been hoping for and might swing back around to our offer if we keep it on the table. Could be one for late on in the window if nothing else is forthcoming for him
It doesn't even have to be in the window as he is a free agent. I honestly think lots of clubs in league 1 will be going deep into September and still doing business.
It's syltill better too get a good one in September than an average one in July. See Kermorgant, Yann
You're absolutely right about late free transfers, though I wonder just how long we would be willing to wait on that before moving on to another target in that position. We need a couple of wingers so if we get one in soon I could see him getting itchy as the close of the window and the chance for anohter winger as a deadline day signing appears
Not sure what side they both play on but randall and kirk would be great business for the club and ideal at this point ! both young hungry and alot of future sell on value if things go well

Medical opinions can vary from club to club, one mans poison as they say, so who knows, he could still get picked up if the injury we found is not deemed so much of an issue elsewhere, however it is a sign that Thomass medical dept we have heard so much praise for, is showing potential.
If our medical team are highlighting a problem, i'd suggest he probably has one leg
Ideally it would be Charlie Kirk, would also take Owen Dale, our front 4 would be serious then
You're in luck - Morris signed for Salford a couple of weeks back. Kirk and Dale would be very very big statements as signings.
I'm sure I read somewhere that Crewe valuate Dale at 1 million + so I think that could be a non-starter. I also don't think we've been linked with him before so my money's on Kirk.

Yeah Wycombe were quoted 1m for Dale, fully expect he goes to the championship anyway. Kirk would be an excellent move.
Is dale any good never seen or heard much about him just looked and he got 12 goals in 48 apps for crewe apparently 🤷🏻♂️
These amounts being quoted for players true or not seem very excessive and no wonder gallen and TS are taking there time and not jumping the gun when clubs try to take the piss

Why is it excessive? A million quid for a player like Dale or Kirk isn't excessive is it?
If we sold, I don't know Morgan, for a million quid I suspect there would be some anger on here that "nothing had changed".
I don't know why people expect other clubs to give their players away.

I remember Owen Dale and Lowery tearing us apart at the Valley. I was impressed and only 22. Maybe we will make a cheeky bid nearer the deadline.
Joel Randall has a vast amount of potential. Really, he could be special but I can’t see them getting £1m for him. Really hope it’s him
kirk and Dale are both good players but again never going to be in the £1m bracket just yet
i guess we wait and see next week
Depends how desperate Crewe are for cash, or whether they're quite comfortable in the current climate.
Pretty desperate.
I think your right but they sold Ng and Hardwick in January. I suspect they will try and play hardball for both Dale and Kirk hoping if they get top dollar for one they can keep the other.
On the subject of Crewe has Wintle signed anywhere yet?

Personally i feel the player needs to be proven over a period of time to justify the amounts i have read about do you feel they are proven at this level or above for a club like ours looking at promotion and guarentee success for that figure...???
some are crazy amounts in the current climate with covid having ruined alot of clubs i get there trying there luck as a selling club but doubt they will ever get what they really want and i suspect some will lose for free or small sums when contracts run down they need to be realistic

Cool.
I notice Dozzell, who has just signed for QPR is "worse" than JFC.

Waggy or Green
He will give us more pace than Watson
