TKIZ's impossibly brilliant all new Transfer Rumours thread

[Armchair Wanderer]

Photos of Matt Taylor training in America serve as pretty conclusive proof that we're not about to offload him to the Potteries. Also interesting to see Mr's Obadeyi and Eaves in training with the first team. Given our current striker deficiencies, I think it might be worth keeping a very close eye on those two...

Hopefully you're right about players coming up from the reserves.

Mrs Obadeyi and Eaves? I've only just got used to Mrs SKD

[Lofthouse Lower]

Eaves is to go on loan

The players I am after, the clubs involved already know. That tells you it isn’t Bosmans, they are established players we’ll have to purchase.
What we have to be wary of is that we don’t pay inflated prices. I have a value for players and am looking to do the best business possible.

There are a couple of players we’re talking about to their respective clubs but nothing has been agreed yet.

Penniless obviously.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Would have had Johnson.

Twitter is awash with spackers (here I could end this statement, but it continues>>) saying 'Coyle is biting off more than he can chew' which doesn't make any sense

As if we're starting the season tomorrow

Our squad situation is worrying. But its not like Coyle, Gartside et al, don't know that. As it seems that all our targets are players we'll pay fees for its no wonder that its going to be a slow process as the clubs involved see whether they can get a better price or not elsewhere. We're not a club who can just walk in and blow everyone else out of the water so I guess with trying to sign players for fees its always going to take some time.

I am still convinced Phil bardsley was picked out of the crowd at Old Trafford during an injury crisis.

He's a far superior defender to Steinsson.

some of the other bits you said were correct though

[Lofthouse Lower]

I'd take Bardsley over Steinsson.

I'd take any of our right backs over the last 15 years over Steinsson.

[boltonboris]

fvck no

Why not? He's infinitely better than any other fit midfielder we have.

An absilute class-act.

The footballing snobbery of some of our fans f*cks me right off

[Lofthouse Lower]

He's a funny one

Looking at the stats you'd say he offers nothing - no assists, no goals, etc etc

But I agree, I think he would improve our team.

[BWFC_Insane]

I don't think Ferguson is a bad player, but.....

M Davies
Pratley
Davis
Holden
Muamba

Already 5 players for 2 spots. Ok Davis may not be fit and Holden is not yet fit, but even so given our struggles elsewhere Ferguson can hardly be a priority. He also doesn't fit Coyle's mantra of younger players....

[Lofthouse Lower]

Davis - not fit
Davies - unreliable
Holden - injured
Muamba - miles off form
Pratley - unknown

Ferguson - at this time >>> that lot

[boltonboris]

Fergusons passing range and ball retention puts any of our midfielders to shame.. I'd even say he's a better 'footballer' than Holden

[BWFC_Insane]

Davis - not fit
Davies - unreliable
Holden - injured
Muamba - miles off form
Pratley - unknown

Ferguson - at this time >>> that lot

Aye but alls I'm saying is we've already signed one midfield player who I would hope Coyle doesn't see as an unknown.

I still think we need to strengthen up front and at the back before we worry about midfield again!

[bobo the clown]

Davis - not fit
Davies - unreliable
Holden - injured
Muamba - miles off form
Pratley - unknown

Ferguson - at this time >>> that lot

Yep, as witnessed by Birmingham's tremendous outcome last year.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Eaves is to go on loan

That would make sense. Get him in for a year, train him up, and now he's doing about all he can in the reserves he's ready for first-team football lower down the ladder. Once we've given him some pre-season games then (correctly) signed more experienced players anyway, you can imagine a fruitful month or three on loan in the third tier - local options include Oldham, Bury, Preston, Rochdale, Huddersfield, even Tranmere (I know, but he's a Scouser so he might not mind).

Same sort of thing might do Mark Connolly good if he isn't bundled off to Boro. Both players turn 20 around Christmas, so they need to be proving their potential at a decent level. Eaves is entering the second year of a three-year deal, anyone how long Connolly's got?

I honestly think thats a bollocks argument. Club went down ergo all their players are shite.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Ferguson's neither terrible nor brilliant. He's also neither young nor low-paid. And strange as it may seem, central midfield isn't a priority.

[TKIZ!]

I honestly never said Ferguson was rubbish, I did say it was a story by an agent to generate a move and that he didn't fit OC of young, hungry for football and cheap

Connolly's in his last year. So he has to prove himself for a new contract whether it's on loan or in training.

[David Lee's Hair]

I'd take Bardsley over Steinsson.

You've obvioulsy got long term memory loss then... O'Kane, Ostemobor, McAnespie... Steinsson is Cafu-esq compared to them 3.
