Rumours Rumours - Summer 2021 edition (Deadline Day from p814)

Very good point overpay for one player every club we try to negotiate with will put there prices up as soon as we come in for their players.

A standard Charlton window, all piss and wind so far.

Hoping for a decent dump by August.

so is @o@oohaahmortimer

Window not open yet ...... 

Been said so many times that’s irrelevant and signings can still be announced...

your point being? As has been said on numerous occasions you don't need the window to be open to sign a player.

It's a tournament summer that never helps, as the knock-on effect of transfers at the top isn't feeding through, 4 Premier League clubs don't have managers in position, for example, people are having a holiday. 

You just need to go outside, stay socially distanced, enjoy the sun and walk away from the internet.

Doncaster left back Reece James has joined Blackpool. 

That's a shame, he'd have improved us for sure.

If Stockley doesn’t join us it doesn’t mean we’ve been slow, lax or anything else. What it means is that the player has got a better deal or has decided that the move suits him better. We will have a budget on what we are prepared to go to for the player and if Portsmouth or anyone else are willing to pay PNE or the player more then good for them. That’s how it works. 

Whilst you are of course 100% right in what you say, if Stockley does join Pompey because they gave him a better offer you could argue it doesn't say much for Sandgaard's five year plan to reach the Premier league if we're losing out on signings in league one to a club who've been at this level or lower for the past 10 years.

If Pompey are prepared to pay more, to PNE, Stockley or both, than Sandgaard/Adkins think he's worth, all that says is that we have a valuation and someone else thinks he's worth more.  Or do you want us to pay over the odds for players and have less to spend elsewhere?  It's not like Sandgaard is a bottomless pit of money and even if he was, there's no reason to spend money needlessly.  Look at the millions Man City wasted when they were first taken over.  One other thing to remember is 5/6 of every penny given to other clubs for their players is more money they can spend so overpaying for players currently at clubs in this division wouldn't help us at all.

We're not talking about overpaying for players at clubs in our division. We're talking about potentially being outbid for Stockley.

I agree that every player has a valuation, but at the same time if i was TS i'd be prepared to go a little bit higher for a certain player if Adkins wants him, he fits the way he wants to play and lastly (but also importantly) prevents a promotion rival from signing him.

Say what you want about the player, the owner, the manager, the budget etc, but the fact is it'll be a blow if Stockley goes to Portsmouth instead of us. They get a solid striker at this level and we're back to square one.

I was talking about overpaying for Stockley and overpaying for players in general, some of whom may be in the same division as us.

For god sake won’t anyone think of the children?!

Along with Connor Ogilvie he would have been my first joint choice left back of those available on frees.

See above for the debates around Cameron Borthwick Jackson and Declan John.

I am assuming that Charlie Daniels and Stephen Ward will be considered too old. 

I recall Cameron Borthwick-Jackson scoring twice for Scunthorpe against us early in the promotion season .. we lost 5-3 .. the only goals he scored for the Irons and he's scored 2 since ((:>)

Devante Cole to Barnsley is a strange one.

Scored less than 1 in 5 at a lower level and is now 26.
