The latest Chron interview with KT suggests that no players will be announced until registration opens, which he guessed to be 1st August.
He also - and I maybe am being cynical here - seemed to pave the somewhat for a sale for Charlie Goode this summer. Personally I don't think we should entertain any offers unless they are in the sort of territory that other League One clubs command; ie comfortably upwards of £1million. You only have to look to Aaron Pierre who is now wanted by Championship sides to know that we don't hold on to our talented players long enough nor put up enough resistance to get true value for them.

Rhys Bennett was mentioned earlier in the thread and has been released by Posh
Fairly versatile as tho he’s mainly a CB he can also play as a defensive mid or a full back which would be ideal for us. Would hope he’d be keen to do over Posh for releasing him too. He does stream on twitch so you could go ask him directly if he’s had Curle on the phone 🤣 Hard agree on keeping hold of players like Goode. We are always terrible at keeping hold of people and then it comes back to bite us... An even more pertinent example is Toney. Boro looking for about £8m for him this summer and there’s not only prem clubs but even RB Leipzig battling to get him. I don’t know how much we got for him but I’m going to wager it was nowhere near £8m, or even £1m.

I'm fairly sure £250k has been widely quoted on here.

Regards the players we’ve offered contracts to... I’m not fussed whether they sign or not Personal opinion oliver has played well but we have smith who is younger and if Oliver left there will be plenty of more experienced higher level target men available for nowt. That said if he signs then I’m fine with that
Harriman I’d quite like to keep but again there will be plenty of options available who have played championship league one level
Contentious but I wouldn’t give to figs if sam Hoskins goes elsewhere for more money , he has been found to not be league one standard last time round and I hope we don’t feel that we have to push the boat out as he is easily replaceable with a better standard of player imo
For example george Thomas or sam Hoskins for the same money??

I'm pretty sure we would have only got a sell on when he moved to boro'. Any sell on clause regarding Toney would be to Newcastle's benefit not ours.

I'd love to see us go for Frank Nouble, who has recently been released by Colchester. I thought he looked great for them in the playoffs, really strong, quick, brings others into play, and is a very decent dribbler. He'd do great in our system.

Shay McCartan is another good option - nippy forward released from Bradford who could replace Morton if we are not able to bring him back.

Mickel Miller, who we were rumoured to be interested in has signed a 2 year deal at Rotherham United.

Remember when we played Lincoln first game of season 2018-19 and they beat us 1-0 after we had been by far the better team. Their played a blinder saving about 5 one on ones amongst other saves, his name was Josh Vickers and he has been released and still only 24. A number of our former players have been released including Joel Byrom, Joe Bunney and Rod McDonald.

You have got to be kidding or a troll, Sam Hoskins has grown into practically being the beating heart of the club. Top scorer and top bloke - crap haircut though.

Seemingly signing players with oodles of talent hasn’t been a problem for us over the last 4 seasons? Signing players with the right mental attitude who are prepared to play for the shirt is entirely another matter? Saying it doesn’t matter if this or that player leaves because there are many more quality fish in the sea isn’t entirely true at this level. No one wants to see an influx of hands down the shorts pitch amblers and dressing room wreckers do we? I personally think KC is a different proposition in the recruitment stakes, but I can’t help fretting.

Chris Solly right back released by Charlton maybe in the frame. Would have thought salary might be a big ask?

Losing Goode would be a serious blow , especially with Turnbull and probably Wharton going as well . I think the recruitment team are much better under Curle and I have more faith in us making the right decisions this time around . Having said that , we have been left with some pups on contract this season that are his higher profile signings . There will be a lot of surplus players available this season though and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the loan system relaxed to help clubs in difficulty

Vickers always looked good whenever I saw Lincoln play over the last 1-2 years. Was surprised he'd been released, but having looked at the story it seems the financial situation has mean Lincoln couldn't risk offering new contracts. Bostwick and Eardley have been released by them as well for the same reasons, both good players for League 1 and up for grabs. With the fallout from the COVID situation this is going to be one of the strangest transfers window and probably seasons as well.

I'd love Vickers in to compete with Arnold. Don't know how realistic that is
To be honest I'm so excited about promotion and what will be a very interesting window, I will take literally any rumours right now
Come on, surely someones aunties dog walkers best mates heard from their neighbour that some footballers wife is shopping for a house in Kingsthorpe or something rogue. FEED THE RUMOUR MILL

Did Joe Bunney ever make an appearance for Bolton in the end?
