Summer 2021 Transfer Window

[everbrite]

If Alex Jones wanted to sign for us he would have accepted the invite to join pre season training...

He'll also take weeks to get match fit, so I'd rather we try and work with what we've got til January, unless there is a ready made match fit striker out there...which there ain't.

We should have got in that Tishimanga lad when we had the chance, been on fire since joining Chesterfield.

Seems strange that Alex Jones turned down JBrady’s offer and is still without a club. Think you are probably right in suggesting that we stick with what we have. As for Tishimanga it’s all very well suggesting that we should have made an acceptable offer to him but who is going to bank roll the extra extortionate wages. Certainly not me, probably you too and perhaps many other supporters!

So we can be outbid by Chesterfield? I see he has scored 7 already and Smith is on 6 too.

Shoestring budget is what I heard.

The only good thing about us not having Tshimanga is the fact that MK Dons had him in their setup for 12 years and ended up releasing him!!

Many plaudits flooding in on Kioki. The question is have they seen him play away. I agree his power surges are welcome; I love it! These power surges are not so evident at away games. Even at FGR in the few surges he did invariably was lost in an over optimistic pass. Personally would not play him as a left back in a 442, possibly in a 3-5-2 but whether he has the quality of passing ability is debatable. Whilst his defensive duties in home games were energetically carried out but at FGR when their right midfield began to make in roads I thought Kioki looked a bit bemused by this aggressive play. Once with Lewis, he or both failed to dispossess an FGR player. The full backs should be of an unforgiving nature so shove Kioki into midfield to add some impetus there but he must learn to pass first.

Nevers, I’ve just seen an interesting stat that Koiki has the best tackle success rate for 20+ tackles in the top 4 divisions at 91%. That certainly sounds like a pretty unforgiving full back to me!

So interesting you fail to detail actual source. Could be Keith or Raggie who supplied the ‘details’🤪

on account of the fact they are supposed to have paid £250k for him , the answer is no we cannot compete with Chesterfield

The Boreham Wood chairman described it as an ‘amazing transfer fee’ set with championship and league 1 clubs in mind.

yep , £250k .
Plus his wages .
Chesterfield’s playing budget is very likely to be more than ours . Ours is £1.4 mill .

Thanks Zen, interesting details but find Twitter football info somewhat controversial. My opinion is still he is suspect defensively at left back so would play him at left midfield! That’s were JB would play him when Mills returns!

Why would that be???

Have Chesterfield recouped nearly two million pounds in transfer fees and sell on clauses during the last couple of seasons???

Charlie Goode £1 million (plus an undisclosed promotion bonus payment)
Caleb chukwumeka 300,000 plus 150,000 for making his debut…
Carney chukwumeka (no idea what we received initially) £150,000 for making his debut.
Crooks 20% sell on fee of £300,000
Harry smith £75,000-£100,000 depending on which reports you read.

Roughly £2m incoming and a youth loan signing and a free transfer up front….

For all the talk about a new transfer model exactly how much are we hoping to make out of etete rose and kabamba?

Rose 50k if we are lucky
Etete on loan , no long term benefit whatsoever
Kabamba signed on a free and won’t be commanding a fee on what he’s done so far.

Is that a fair assessment in other posters opinion??

Meanwhile Chesterfield have spent £250,000 and I fully expect their striker to move for £1 million plus come the end of the season (plus add ons)

Exactly what is this new transfer policy??

To recoup as much of the £7m debt as possible without buying strikers who will be of long term benefit to the club and instead doing everything on the cheap just as before.

If the club are trying to convince the council of their long term strategy for growth off the pitch then the councillors could do well to look at the lack of ambition on the pitch before making any decisions…

So he went to a Non League Club who were prepared to meet his demands! Find it a little odd that Peterborough apparently did not get involved! Along with a host of League Clubs we missed out, some of whom have bigger resources than we do! We shall see as they say on here!

[West Stand]

Do we want the club ran sustainably or do we want to add to the 'debt'?

I would rather it is run sustainably.

[guest3359]

How much is the risk worth? If as you say they will quadruple their money in a year then its a risk worth taking. But didn't work with Matty Warburton or Leon Lobjoit. Lots of people use P*sh as an example too... Ricky Miller

Its bold to sign a non league striker for £250k but comes with a lot of risk too. When its not your money its easy to make the decision.

The trouble with that Shoey is that it reeks of anti club perspective. Not one word on outgoings?

i think we signed warburton and LL from lower divisions when they werent in demand at all - they were proper gambles.

clearly there was a lot of interest in the lad chesterfield bought and its paying dividends for them at the minute for taking the gamble

that said, orient have harry smith scoring for fun as well and very few on here rated him (until this season when everyone pretends they did as he scores elsewhere)

as the late great man said "its a funny old game"
