Surprised Lapado went to Miller's if he was on our radar.0

Cos Roland is an idiotharveys_gardener said:Surprised Lapado went to Miller's if he was on our radar.
Bowyer didn't rate him anyway
They offered more money
He owns a house boat on the Don
He won't play for a club staring with a letter from the 1st half of the alphabet
His agent is Paul Warne's sister
He hates Chris Solly
It could be a million diffrent reasons, if he even was on our radar.0 -
Ladapo was never on our radar? Was just Lameiras0

City have also signed a excellent keeper in Daniel Bentley from BrentfordBraziliance said:We would not have been able to acquire Chuks or Lockyer if we had stayed in league 1. That's a fact. Lockyer picked us because he wants to play for a championship side and knows he can be a main stay in this team to be on Ryan Giggs radar for Wales. Aneke chose us because he's too good for league 1 and 2 and needs to challenge himself. There is no doubt in my mind of that. So to say they are league 1 targets is wide of the mark. Aneke has been a talent for years and Lockyer was one of the best centre backs in league1 last year. Both would be in a promotion chasing side in league1 so who's to say they can't make the step up.
I am genuinely very surprised and happy we have got two players as promising as these offering poor wages. Shows how important promotion was and more than anything keeping Bowyer.
Will also add Bristol City are a consistent championship side now and will be going for a play off push and have signed Sammie Szmodics from Colchester on a free, 2 league jump for him as well. These are the good signings, getting squads best players for a pittance0 -
Love the comment from the guy who says "Connor Hall still wouldn't make my starting 11 out of those 7 available".Braziliance said:
Bolton fans seem confident on social media he is going to us.
He must be fucking terrible.24 -
If we wasn't signing players like Chuks and Lockyear who imo are good signings who should we be signing?0

True although Todd joined us from the same division. Curbs targeted players that viewed Charlton as their pinnacle ( at least until the Rommedahl: Murphy season) but i’m not convinced he took many gambles from lower leagues. I have huge faith in bowyer but as I said earlier, we are bargain shoppingBlucher said:
Kinsella actually managed to jump two divisions and then effortlessly transitioned to the Premier League - what a player.wmcf123 said:
He did that with Kinsella and Jensen. Any others ?Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Don't see the problem here.Southbank said:Lockyer and Aneke both look like signings planned for League 1, both untested at Championship level. The quality of the eventual loanees will be crucial.
Firstly if they were proven at Championship level, they wouldn't be coming to us because a dozen other sides would pay more.
Secondly, it seems that Bowyer is doing what Curbs used to do. Sign players who have been decent in the league below who are fairly young and are hungry to prove themselves at a higher level.
As well as Jensen, The Curbs also took Fish and Todd from Bolton, both of whom were excellent signings. I’m sure there were others1 -
Vela is decent and most Trotters think he will be off anyway, wouldn't complain if we got him.NapaAddick said:How about we get Josh Vela, Bolton, as a midfielder? A free, out of contract after tomorrow. Only 25 years old. 1.81 tall. Have heard some solid things. Has experience in our new division.
The FM type buys though if we are to believe Roland would pay a fee for a young player who we could sell on would be for me;
Cheap option - Dru Yearwood, great potential, was involved a fair bit for Southend at the end of last season, interest at the moment from Rotherham and Boro. Quick, strong and only 19.
Middle option - Ben Whiteman from Doncaster. He was overshadowed a bit by Herbie Kane against us I thought but still, Donny pretty much battered us at the Valley and he was a big part of that midfield. Also scored a pen against us and gave it the bigun and I love a s**thouse. 23 box to box type.
Expensive option - Tom Bayliss from Coventry, has a host of clubs after him but the main club linked, Aston Villa don't seem to be as interested anymore as he didn't quite perform as well in League1 as he did league 2 and with their prem money they are probably after more proven players. Versatile creative mid. Again probably out of our price range but just speculating.
I think Yearwood is possible, Southend knocked back 400k apparently from Boro, 750k mark with clauses might do it, who knows1 - Sponsored links:

The silver lining with Lameiras is that missing out on him may have stimulated our re-engagement with Jonny Williams. It's unlikely we would have ever brought in Lamerias, Oztumer & Williams.roseandcrown said:If we are to believe Oztumer is basically done and we missed out on Lameiras then that is the 3-4 bowyer said we would have.8 -
Assuming things will be a bit quiet in the transfer front whilst Bow and the boys are in Spain0

Properly apart from ozturmer being announcedTaxi_Lad said:Assuming things will be a bit quiet in the transfer front whilst Bow and the boys are in Spain0 -
I'd imagine so, unless we've taken a couple of trialists out there and we sign a couple more free agents who then join up with the squad. I doubt Gallen will be out in Spain0
-
How about getting in Curtis Tilt and giving Lockyer the Bielik role?1
-
I mentioned Whitman a while ago. Tons of energy loves a tackle and the fans love him. Would be a great signing but there would be a fee2

Exactly same years. I used to work on the boating lake weekends & holidays when at school. Then chat to the ladies and play football.AddicksAddict said:

If you zoom in you can see Dalman and the Aussie group looking out of the citi group building windows. Oztumer has given us the best clue yet.Scoham said:Where’s the Turkish Messi? 👀 🤔

Gallen still around and he is the de facto director of football and CEO so if there are deals possible they can be done.Taxi_Lad said:Assuming things will be a bit quiet in the transfer front whilst Bow and the boys are in Spain3 -
I remember that cross country too (class of 87) gruelling hill at the end, only a mile but it seemed much further at that age - or am I misremembering. Remember Turner and Guerilla too of course.1

Good call. He's a warrior and would be a really good acquisition but I can't see him accepting a contract at what we're apparently offering - plus he'll doubtless remember the absurd attempt by Duchatelet/Katrien/Peeters/Little Tommy to shift him off to some Romanian team we've never heard of before or since.Henry Irving said:Is Michael Morrison a viable option.
Out of contract at Birmingham, 31 and an experienced and proven league one defender.
No idea what money he is on but Jacko might have his phone number.
Such an intelligent move on their part to release Morro to Birmingham for nothing when we had Ben Haim on a one year contract, The Beast - who had a recent history of performing for half a season - and Joe Gomez, who was always likely to leave at the end of the season, particularly in the light of Katrien's paltry £3.5million release clause. Forward planning has never been the regime's strongest suit, although moving Morro on was, of course, entirely consistent with Duchatelet's philosophy of a skeletal squad and maximising the exposure of Academy products in the shop window. As the great Karel Fraeye - bafflingly unemployed after leaving Lommel United bottom of the table in October 2016 - once memorably informed us: " You only need 11 players and 7 on the bench".
Plus, our dearth of central defenders meant we also got to sign and re-sign the great Roger Johnson and to see him and the crocked Rhys Williams perform in tandem.
From the top of my Soapbox, yelled out 7-6, we're going to win 7-6. That was in my drinking days and mistakingly thought I was at Wimbledon and we would win on a tie break.
Hull turned in as much as we were shocking. They could easily have reached 10.
Cracking day out though.
Hull were Barcelona in amber that day.
Did you get a round in that day mate?!

No chance, while we are on the subject of Sunderland we got another little victory over them, a morale one this time.

Impressive 12 page speculation over him and we end up with him. Just shows that it is not a league1 signing. He may well have ended up at Sunderland instead if they had beaten us4 -

I can't believe we haven't signed anyone on a Sunday morning.
