Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Iles said we were never interested in Ladapo. Apparently it was a Prem loan or this kid who’s been in Portugal, so yeah, if we don’t get the latter then that would be a bit of a cock up.

Has he? Not seen that.

I think I saw him say he'd asked about Ladapo and received a fairly straight no. Maybe in the Exeter match liveblog, beforehand.

Haven't seen him even mention the Portugal lad, but I haven't been watching closely.

That Trotter Chatter account is hilarious.

No "#bwfc" in the correction. Lovely stuff.

They also claimed it was a "done deal" just six days ago.

I think whatever the ins and outs of it, it's probably not going to do anything major to Saturday's starting XI, with 3.5 days to kick-off, unless we shunt in another spare keeper and put 'em on the bench.

Ladapo rumoured to be going to Huddersfield according to Mr O'Rourke.

BN reporting this has been done deal...Might score against us!

Surely he won't be fit enough to play ?, if we had signed him he wouldn't play until November ! - or is that just Evatt ?

Ladapo done deal will no doubt be on the bench Saturday!

I don’t doubt that he wasn’t a target. Whether he should have been is another question - but we do seem to be stocked in the forward line.

Start prolly not. 5 mins at the end for one to bounce in off his arse? Dunno.

Ladapo to Huddersfield confirmed on BN. Done deal, just not for us.

Let's hope we get the player we actually want.

Sylvester Jasper, according to reports.

Well that's a monumental cock up and a half. Our recruitment really hasn't impressed me I'm afraid. I would say for the money we've had its been poor. And releasing players and leaving gaps in a squad you already have said is ideally smaller than you'd like is simply not good.

[boltonboris]

He'd have been better just not saying anything. Keep it a secret. Now missing out on ambitious signings to teams who can out-spend us is "a monumental cock up and a half"

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

As I've just said to a mate, if we'd done nowt (bar release players) on D-day without saying anything, he'd have been burnt for that too - and on the day before the Exeter game ("a loanee sub might have changed things" etc)

End product is the same - just a different day for venting

Wonder who the player is? Aaron Connolly still seems to be unattached, so it may not be him

[Bertie Wooster]

Rumour is its Liam Cooper ex Leeds CB
