Transfer Shouts (12 Viewers)

[SeaSeeEffCee]

What did you expect? He’s coming in as cover for ohare on a free and I’d imagine relatively small wages, It’s about the best we can get.

He turned down 12k at Cardiff. Those sort of wages would have him right up there with our highest earners.

Drysdale has signed for Newport

Good signing for Newport, and the lad should get regular first team football.
And another one off our wage bill, hopefully it proves to be a great bit of business all round.

I've got faith in Robins to get the best out of him...PUSB

Another example or how difficult it is to pick up prospects and bring them through. Had hopes at one stage for Drysdale and Morgan Williams. The pathway to the first team for the likes of Reid, Tavares etc doesn't look much clearer. Be interesting to see whether this gets looked at internally at the club.

The vast majority of u23 signings won't make the grade as most are inexpensive punts the club make in the hope that they develop into a first-team player and potentially become an asset to make a sizeable profit on.

The problem with the strategy is that the chances of an U23 player breaking through to the first team now is much harder with us being in the Championship so I'd argue assessing how effective it is in generating potential first-team talent/saleable assets is quite important over the next year or two. As really there's no sense in continually setting aside budget for signings such as Reid and Tavares, each of whom demanded fees, if the strategy isn't particularly working - i.e. generating players that at the very least will make a meaningful contribution to the season.

Anything else you've heard of note @better days ? Anything more on the Dutch scouting?

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Optimistic that he can work nicely with our set up. Effectively I’d see him as challenging for Allen’s position.
Had a bad spell but evidently a good player, with pedigree.

Nothing concrete
Expect more use of the Chelsea connection though

The future of English football Josh McEachran…

 

[fatso]

14 goals and 10 assists in 134 Championship games

Far more prolific in front of goal than O'hare then! (Puts tin hat on)

Reid seems poor scouting, Robins says he doesn’t have the attributes to play in our system

Agreed, but at least we would have some realistic cover and competition.

 

[CovBrummie94]

Think I found his Twitter account

That might be one of the worst suggestions I've ever seen from a Cov fan on Twitter...

Decent age, good championship experience. Let’s see how it goes

 

[Bertola]

Palmer is a player I've always liked the look of. Shocked his stats are so low. Will be a massive step up from Allen as the second AM in the box though. Likes to try a key pass. Would rather that in his position than always taking a safe option.

He's also scored directly from a corner before, with how many times Gus tried that (without succeeding) last year, it's nice to know we'll still have that threat

 

[SleepyGinger]

Rumoured to have turned down 12k at Cardiff. I’d be very surprised if we are playing more than that.

A permanent deal BD?

 

[Skybluebeliever]

A permanent deal BD?

Yes 3 year deal

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Just need Josh McEachran and Lucas Piazon to complete the lot now

 

[better days]

A permanent deal BD?

Not sure of the details - see SBB who does know

 

[SomersetSB]

Yes 3 year deal
[/QUOTE
My Bristol City mates rate him, just didn’t get on with Pearson.

Differing sources…

 

[rexo87]

I wouldn't have thought we are offering any more than Cardiff. Chance to resurrect his career under a coach he knows very well

Might explain how we’ve been able to afford it. He would probably take a wage drop for the security of a 3 year deal.

Yeah, con of that you’re stuck with them as we’ve seen

 

[jordan210]

Can we sign someone who is a master of shithouseary. We have been missing a player who winds up opponents and is constantly on the ref.

Clearing the way for Panzo to join

Good shout! Someone like Todd Kane?

 

[junglej13]

We've been crying out for another number 10 for about four transfer windows. Palmer is considerably better than what we have.

 

[ajsccfc]

Clarke-Harris was my favourite shithouse when he was back with us. Attracting cheap fouls like moths to a flame.

 

[junglej13]

Yes 3 year deal

Anything else close @Skybluebeliever?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Hello @Boosh CCFC

 

[jordan210]

Did Todd ever do any shithouseary.

We need some sort of player who if was playing vs us we would call a prick. Kicking the ball away constantly, getting in the way of free kicks.

Why so he can spend half the season suspended?
