Summer Transfer window

Not a goal scoring centre back then, 0 in 65 games for Swindon.

And I thought I was glass half empty - I think we signed him to defend not score goals. He’s also only 22 so we’re not exactly in McWilliams territory.

I think another centre back will be signed and Akin will provide cover at centre and right back or play in a three.

Looks like a good signing, not very often we sign a player on a Saturday. Welcome Akin.

Confirmed. Swinedon fans seem to rate him. Seems he didn't play as many games as he would have liked last season due to not quite fitting in with Ben Garner's ultra-pass-it-out-from-the-back style. Looks like we paid compensation for him due to him being under 24.

Calderwood and Brady have a good track record of developing young defenders so it all looks positive to me.

It’s quite surprising that he didn’t decide to stay at Swindon given that Garner has left for Charlton.  Does anyone know if Swindon look likely to keep McKirdy?

I suppose after this signing we will have to wait another week until the next one?

I’m expecting another next week

Can I ask what position?

[606 Parklands_Cobbler]

I'd really like to see a statement signing in the number 10 position. We can all dream.

Whilst I dont know the answer to that, I do know Swindon were a bit strapped for cash, which has resulted in 7 or 8 of their best players being out of contract this summer. As we've seen with Roberts/Horsfall, having your best players out of contract usually ends up the same way, or else you need to spend a larger portion of your budget to retain them. Does make it easier for a local rival to pick up a bit of a coup.

We looking at any play makers

[guest3086]

I am willing to put a significant allocation towards a classy playmaker, put the club in touch with me.

Another Swindon player would be good. Jack Payne out of contract and so far hasn't signed a new one. Swindon fans seem to think he's off. He's an attacking midfielder, 27 years of age. Fits the profile?

I prefer Jack Diamond; he can play a bit and scores goals.

He looks likely to be off to league 1,but that sort of player yes

I’d heard we were after a young centre half on a perm from a higher division that would have been a bit of a statement signing but I hadn’t heard a name. Could well be this chap.

[606 Parklands_Cobbler]

named in the team of the season while on loan at Torquay during their conference play-off final campaign under...gary johnson.
Fits the bill for the type of players we've identified, has a lot of interest from other teams but Brady has proved he can convince people to sign with the way the club has improved players especially defenders.

Excellent news SOG - very surprised at your change of  opinion. Is this Mrs SOG doing?

Dynel Simeu from Southampton was on the radar but don’t know if progressed

We’re getting closer on a playmaker I’m told, but I don’t have a name
