Summer Transfer window

So what happens when Bowers had enough of waiting?

They walk and take as much with them as possible I imagine.

Apparently there is a tug of war between us and Mansfield over a player with a first name Connor.

Don't come on here pointing out the obvious, some still won't see it though.
   As I've stated before, there is no great incentive to run a tight ship when you know that when the land is sold, you will get all that money back.

Again stating the obvious Rog, the incentive to run a tight ship is the fact they will have more money left as profit when they finally say bonjour.

......... or even Au Revoir!

Logged in on a Monday to view any incomings... and have to read a diatribe of the usual suspects point scoring...

So ARE THERE ANY TRANSFER RUMOURS OR AREN'T THERE?

But the point I am making is the debt is being created by the owners, some of our more special fans think KT and DB are somehow bankrolling us out of the goodness of their hearts, when in fact they are using NTFC is an enabler to the land profit with every penny they have put into NTFC recouped and then some at the time of sale.

Following on from your oh so offended post I put up supporting Asperger’s….
You then refer to people with a different view to you as special implying a mental or physical disability.
I suggest you practise what you preach….

it’s hardly surprising no one posts about transfer speculation on here because as soon as you do , the usual numpties come on asking for verification , sources and proof like it was some kind of legal statement .
All you get is abuse , especially if it doesn’t come off .
I will keep it to myself on this occasion bearing in mind 90% of the players approached don’t end up coming .

Yeah that' true. I used to love those that were seemingly permanently in the Club shop and so so walked in with an agent. Or saw this or that player having their car washed in the car park there.

So, something MIGHT be imminent then. Thanks B&S

There's a report in the Chronic today from JB to say he is working extremely hard round the clock to strengthen the squad up front and that every time we get close we get knocked back - or something like that. However he did say if we get what we want he is really confident it will help our front line.

I don't doubt that he is doing his best but for me every game that goes by without a couple up front is a game wasted, although I do appreciate we have to sign the right players. It would be nice not to have to make a panic signing 10 minutes before the deadline ends. Mind you that's what happens in the Premier League every August and January.

Once again your unconscious bias links the word special to mental health you need to take a long hard look in the mirror once again you should be ashamed.

Our former player David Moyo has signed for Barrow so we will soon be seeing him here.

  Weak attempt at a swerve .
You knew what you were saying just as I knew what you were insinuating

if you were told the club has “ lost out “ on close to 100 identified players , would it change your mind !?

What you decide to post is up to you. You have come good on a couple of occasions. People have right to ask for a link etc whether it is granted is another matter. If you have info share it; don't be so hard done by. Relax and go with the mood on here!

Depends what the average is for a league 2 side to lose out on. If it was 10 yes, 200 no. Too many polarised judgements taken in isolation on here as it is.

Most definitely..... I don't know how many transfers there have been involving League 2 clubs this summer, i'd guess not many more than 100 in total.... we can't have missed out on that many players!

Did we inquire about Messi, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Salah? There's four we "lost out" on already!!

I did hear that we were offered first option on Etete but didn't take it up.....doubt he'd come to us over Cardiff anyway but hey ho.....!

Cody, McAleny, Wickham, Washington

the point being made is that the previous poster seemed to think we would be better off just filling numbers in up front as soon as possible . It isn’t as simple as that which is why i pointed out we have looked into at least 100 players since close season and enquired about them .
You also have to wait for clubs to release on loan or get players in to release your targets .
If you panic , you end up with another BAS who is as useful as a cat flap on a submarine

Good morning Evers, regarding the 3 Conors you have mentioned Conor Wickham has recently signed for FGR, I cannot see Conor Coady leaving Wolves to come here and he is another centre back. Conor McAleney still has a year to run on his contract at Salford so maybe we have enquired about him, he scored 2 goals in 26 games for them last season and I suspect Salford were expecting better so may be prepared to let him go. See you tonight.
