Transfer targets (140 Viewers)

[Saddlebrains]

When do the players report back to Ryton? because im my opinion we need the bulk of our new recruits in the door in and around that day. Im sure we will get a few nearer the start of the season but we need a least 7 1st team players in and around working with the group and coaches.

3rd July

Scottish side Aberdeen are ready to clinch a deal for Liverpool midfielder Leighton Clarkson - despite a late move from Coventry.

The Dons have been working in bringing back Clarkson permanently after a successful loan spell and they are set to meet the asking price.

Coventry took a strong interest this week as they try to bolster their squad for the next promotion push.

However the Aberdeen move appeals to Clarkson who is willing to show what he can do in the SPFL.

He was on loan at Aberdeen last year so why does Nixon think he needs to show what he can do in the SPFL?

Nixon is clueless as fuck again.

Decent player not one that would improve our current XI

Last season statistics.

Appearances: 37
Goals: 6
Assists: 9

Not bad for a CM, less goals in all comps than Jamie Allen, but more assists.

A good player, wouldn't be a priority signing for me though, need to strengthen in other areas of the pitch.

I didn’t see you providing any such transfer insights ?? Do enlighten us with your clues

Yeah he's not bad but as you say not better than the first XI and he is not likely to want to come unless he is in the first team.

As you said there's other areas we need to address first like the defence which is less than threadbare at the moment.

Boro in talks with Ross Barkley. His wages must be astronomical

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

I can predict what is going to happen now.

We are going to go into a week before the season still needing 7-8 players due to the quantity we need to fill a team.

Our first few games we will play a makeshift team with Mark Robins saying new signings are 'Immanent', and have a poor start because of this.

We'll then make about 4 panic loan signings on the last day of the transfer window who will take some time to get up to speed. All of whom will be 18-19 year olds with no prior experience anywhere.

tends to be our transfer policy recently - i really hope we can get some things sorted early to put my doubts to ease!

Deja vu

Nixon’s track record is very good for EFL transfers. No idea why you would think he is clueless as fuck.

 

[shmmeee]

Some of our best signings have come in August. Especially loans. We don’t need everyone in but certainly considering the amount we’re likely to sign the more the better otherwise half the squad misses the start of pre season.

Is a price mentioned anywhere? Curious to see what market we’re in.

He's pretty shite

Ask Derby fans about him

Also I was also commening on his "prove himself in the SPL" when he already has

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Another thing on Clarkson, if Sky are to be believed playing in Europe was a major factor in Clarkson choosing Aberdeen.

Not something we can offer. As I said before, he's a good player, add to that I'm happy we are looking at this type of player, but our priority should be other areas of the pitch, for which are options are short.

Like you said, people are going to be pissed off as we didn'tget him as per, but shows we are looking into the right sort of players.

Neither will Aberdeen once they lose to Zorya Luhansk or whoever they end up playing.

Ideally you are correct, but in terms of loan signings the majority of the best available from the PL won't become apparent until August, once the season is up and running.

Not saying I want him mind, just seems to be the reason.

I’d prefer Meite from Reading to be honest over Joao

Id prefer neither

Why would we pay 20-25 million for simms as Joao is a free agent.

 

[Pusb1]

Shows the value of swift recruitment though

Bristol City have signed 3 CB's already this summer

Haydon Roberts from Brighton
Dickie from QPR
Ross Mcrorie from Aberdeen

been serious wed've taken all 3 of them wouldn't we? That's serious intent of sorting your weak points early in the window.

They sold their best player in January though so have money in the bank.

Dickie lost the plot last season (QPR fans really didn't rate him) but obviously seemed decent a couple of seasons back.
Ross McRorie from Aberdeen (SPL - could be ???_who knows what from that league, which is full of L1 level players)
Haydon Roberts - played on loan at Derby

Might be good signings, might not be (although I take our point about getting it done early)

Unlike Bristol, we didn’t know what league we’d be in until the playoffs were over.

Early transfers doesn’t really mean anything. MR and Viveash know what they’re doing so we’ve just got to be patient.

Who does he belong to these days??...

He’s a free agent after Nice decided not to renew his contract.
