January 2018 Transfer Rumours Thread

[just.reading]

So will be play upfront with Long in a 4-4-2? Who is going to be dropped to accommodate him? I guess either Crooks or Grimes.

Was just wondering about this, I could see him dropping JJOT deeper and shunting Crooks out to the left but playing him quite narrow and having Bunney provide the width on that side.

To be fair we could probably easily pick 5-10 different ways of setting out and Jimmy will still come up with something different. We certainly have options now.

So, currently fit players who are unable to even make the bench squad we have:

Bowditch
Hanley
Kasim
Buchanan
Barnett
Lobjoit

With the arrival of Van Veen and Mathias I'd expect Revell to be added to that list.

I've excluded Bridge given he's only just arrived.

Wonder if we'll see any of these leave before 11pm tomorrow?

All these new signings and upturn in form make a mockery of the easier games to come b0ll0cks

It will be an awful waste of the playing budget if we don't see some go. None of them seem to appeal to the manager.

Buchs may fancy an easy wage before winding down his career in league 2 or an early retirement.

What? He’s 31 not 41

We are currently spending £12k-£15k per week on non match day players. That’s around £750k per year, absolute madness.

Player leaving at 18:15...

Alex Revell joins Stevenage on a free transfer

[Irchy cob]

I thought Jimmy said he wanted 4 strikers - with revs gone we’re back to 3?

[Shoemaker]

Down to three strikers again but jimmy says he needs four.......

[Joes Sweet Left Foot]

Unless you count O'Toole as a striker considering he's playing there

[Dr Feelgood]

This is the worst day in Baldy's life..

[guest2995]

I would say that’s a good signing for Stevenage .
Who is going to be our 4th striker ? Probably now need a traditional 6 footer with power .
Best window ever as a cobbs supporter

[Dr Feelgood]

Maybe he'll bring back Icao

That striker you're describing is Van Veen. Don't expect any more strikers to join.

[Wolvo]

Furious. All the hard work Page put into last seasons marquee signings... Matty Taylor and Alex Revell... both leave on a free to teams in the league below us.
