Re: Deal or no deal? - Summer 2022 Transfer gossip!
Kioso has gone to Rotherham so presumably his move to Rotherham has fell through. Gonna be interesting to know whether or not it is down to medical reasons or another reason like finance from Fulham.
Might very well be Wigan bound but you'd think he would've sorted a contract out before Bolton and Rotherham pull out of the running.
Kioso is a good acquisition for Rotherham. Maybe paves the way for Fossey to rock up at Luton

I think Mar means Fossey's move to Rotherham has potentially fallen through.

I believe it was discussed but nothing came from it. One thing that did was all games are available, even if they are shown on TV.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 10:02 amWhich reminds me - wasn't there talk of making iFollow usable in the UK for the Saturday 3pm games?officer_dibble wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:29 amMight be why a few clubs have gone down the route of providing their own service. If you could get £100 p.a. Membership plus a tenner a game and it was essentially clubs YouTube + I follow + youth/b games might be worth a few bob?
There was a debate at the AGM earlier this month when they also announced teams can wear their 3rd kit to assist with any colour blindness issues, oh and 5 subs.

Ok, thanks DJBlu. Curious that they're letting clubs undercut the TV deals by showing the televised games - but I suppose if you have Sky, you'll watch Sky.

The launch of the 'B' team would be a great opportunity to begin developing a "BWFC TV" model.
Re: Deal or no deal? - Summer 2022 Transfer gossip!
Are MK very likely to reinvest all that cash, Ghost? If so they could end up improving despite losing the best player in the league.GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 12:24 pmLooks like Twine is off to Burnley. Big loss for MK, but £4m is massive money at this level and they should have targets lined up.

MK have a pretty long term approach to transfers and they typically take a slice of incoming fees and put it towards development; but the expectation locally is that they are prepared to spend a decent whack of that fee this summer and possibly into January, depending what's available.
Previously they've had to service debt, but that's apparently less of an issue this year. Not something I know personally, though, just what I was told.

Pronounced Sitt-u-lay, it seems. Let's hope he's more "olé" than "sitter-misser".Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Fri Jun 24, 2022 3:09 pmThat's a truly unfortunate surname. Good luck to him.

Seems to prefer Gez as forename, too. So it's Gez Sit-olé! Good on him. Not bad to have someone with 16 third-tier games signing for yer B-team.

Apropos of not much, but one of the girls in the Dutch Women's team has BEERER STEYNER as a surname. Just mentioning...Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 2:08 pm

22 games in the same division as us last season - feels like someone who might get a look in with the first team sooner rather than later.

Evatt today quoted in the MEN.“We have a valuation for someone and if we don’t get it then we are happy to walk away. And that isn’t because Sharon and the rest of the board are saying there is no money available – there is money, more than enough – but I don’t want us to be that. I want to be smart and strategic and do things the right way.
So I think talk that he’s not resourced or is frustrated is wide of the mark. He’s obviously determined to work within his and the recruitment teams valuations. Which I think is admirable, and ultimately what we want.

Interesting also that he talked of having walked away when prices got too steep. Unless Tucker's reps were greedy, or there's someone else we don't know about, that can only be Marlon. Looks like his agent's played an absolute stinker – unless it's the fee Fulham wanted after watching their permacrock turn into a somersaulting superstar of the third tier, liberally invited to bonk fans' spouses.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 11:12 amEvatt today quoted in the MEN.“We have a valuation for someone and if we don’t get it then we are happy to walk away.

I believe Fulham got a bid for Fossey from the championship that was far more than we’d have agreed. Why that hasn’t happened yet is anyones guess.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 11:59 amInteresting also that he talked of having walked away when prices got too steep.

We will have spoke to half a dozen players/reps for various positions. He may well be talking about quite a few players we've had a look at.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 11:59 amInteresting also that he talked of having walked away when prices got too steep.

Indeed. That would fall under "someone else we don't know about".GhostoftheBok wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 12:21 pmWe will have spoke to half a dozen players/reps for various positions.

Still strikes me that Evatt was right when he sympathetically said it hadn't worked out for Marlon this summer. But, y'know - for us it means he's still a possibility to return in January or next summer, should we see fit.

I think any Bolton fan older that school age would rather compete in League One for another season or two than risk another melt down.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 11:12 amEvatt today quoted in the MEN.

Hopefully a few things shake loose in the next couple of weeks and we can give ourselves a better shot at getting out of the division. "Phase one", as it were, hasn't gone as hoped; but it's a marathon and not a sprint.

Re: Deal or no deal? - Summer 2022 Transfer gossip!
Depends on circumstances. It's hard to read with Evatt sometimes whether he's being snarky or is just a bit awkward at times. I'd like to think there's no hard feelings with how things have gone with Marlon, as he seemed a decent lad and if he's being poorly advised that's awful at this level. We can't say though, from the outside, and just have to hope for the best for ourselves in a selfish game.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 12:25 pmStill strikes me that Evatt was right when he sympathetically said it hadn't worked out for Marlon this summer. But, y'know - for us it means he's still a possibility to return in January or next summer, should we see fit.
What we can say is whatever powder we have is very much dry. As Evatt said you hear things from circles, and the talk around the loanees we've got in is very much that their respective clubs view them as development opportunities and the finances reflect that. We're not coving Traf's new contract and both he and Bradley are subsidised to that extent.
We are yet to go to the levels we hit for Dad Bod, for example, so we should have space at the top end of our wage structure for the right players. There's starting to be a bit of movement now as actual money changes hands, but things won't really get going until most of the free agents have signed somewhere.
