PLYMOUTH'S stupendously all singing dancing transfer thread!

[jaffka]

Think he has already become an overrated player not really a fan of him in fact I don't think it would be a good idea to bring him in and therefore given how poor my judgement has been on signings recently.....

am intrigued to know how you have formed such an opinion....

His Fifa 13 rating ?

A hacked football manager player database?

I'm starting to think we need a new thread to reminisce about previous transfer threads. Oh how I long for the olden days.

I'm starting to think we need a new thread to reminisce about previous transfer threads. Oh how I long for the olden days.

here's 102 pages of the 2007 transfer thread...

starts with a bang:

How about making an attempt to sign Juan Roman Riquelme from Villereal? He is out of favour at Villereal, no idea why as he is a fantastic player. He has been on loan at Boca Juniors but they cannot afford to keep him.

A player like him in our midfield would be awesome! Such creativity, attacking drive, etc.

Would love it if we signed him.

and peters out with..

The key thing to remember is that Glen Johnson is a FAR worse defender than Nicky Hunt is.
So no point even considering it.

[Prufrock]

That is a GEM

[Lost Leopard Spot]

So far then we've got Hamza Bencherif off to Plymouth and... nothing else! Not a sausage, zilch, feckall, nada, nowt, nil, zero, nought, nothing, a vasty absence, a vacuum, an abyss, zip, 0, a blank, a void, not-a-lot, nix, diddly squat, a cavity, zippo, nullity, a shutout, a lacuna, scratch, a vacancy, a no show, a gap, an hiatus, an empty space, feck-bleedin'-all!

I'm researching Cardiff for a work thing, and these seem to be the players they'll be letting out on loan having not made the 25-man squad: winger Craig Conway (the biggest surprise), striker Etien Velikonja, Slovakian midfielder Filip Kiss and full-back Simon Lappin.

Again, neither a rumour nor Bolton-based, but there should be a fair few Premier League outcasts we're sizing up now the squads have been named. If somebody's at a loose end...

Did kevin Phillips get mentioned in palace's 25?

IF we have to move someone out before we bring someone in it is going to be hard this window. The teams looking for loans generally are the ones who don't want to spend big money. So who might pay any of our players wages?

In theory though, something like this could happen. We loan out Matt Mills who let's say is on £20k pw, and the team loaning him is willing to pay 25% of his wages. We then get in some young prem loanee, such as Craig Dawson, who is on £5k pw and covering all of his wages we'd be in a financially neutral position but will be getting more out of the money. You know, in theory like, because it'll never happen.

Wow. How come no-one has recognised this issue before now?

Do us a favour, FFS!

That's a good start. Now what we need to do is find the folks who aren't on that list and therefore kicking their expensive heels in splendid isolation. They are literally useless to their teams, who may be rather glad to keep them fit elsewhere. Why, those clubs may may even prefer to pay their wages to play regular football rather than pay them to not play.

It also allows us an opportunity to find silly and wonderful middle names

JANCE (Kevin Nolan)
MARCIANO (Dwight Tiendalli)
GAVIN (Rio Ferdinand)
BARR (Darren Fletcher)
MCLEOD COOPER (Glen Johnson)

Indeed. I was chuckling at a couple including ALBERT (Jussi Jaaskelainen). Just seems bizarre for a Fin.

aye - haven't found a comprehensive list of them yet - and i had to go out and look as if I was doing some work! I suspect the only way would be to look up individual clubs one by one and find their full player list and painstakingly compare the lists - presumably what you did with Cardiff...

Excuses excuses!

I reckon Dougie has all these players Venn diagrammed.

With the middle section being the cross over between "good enough" and "Will play for free".
