Summer 2022 : Transfer Window Rumours and Discussion

[northendmanc]

It is worrying to fail to get your targets AFTER you’ve dumped the squad fillers. If we fail to sign decent players we are going to have a tiny squad with shit cover from the youth team, rather than a small squad with some bits of top end quality.

 

[Aitch]

Wouldn’t surprise me. How long have “talks” been ongoing and nothing done.

Cue the PR 'we tried' line

 

[Southcoastwhite]

Gray going to Greece. Has he lost his marbles?
Ah well "we tried"
Seriously though not that bothered apart from the fact that I don't see loads of options out there.

 

[TheWarehouse]

I’m still fingers crossed for CR7

 

[keithaw]

Maybe Woodman is going to be one of our new strikers

 

[MrHodgeheg123]

He'll enjoy some Summer Nights there

Tell me more

Charlie Cresswell, mentioned on here before as a CB loanee, Preston born and son of Richard is off to Millwall according to O'Rourke.

Would be a decent signing that and one I hoped we'd have been looking at but apparently not.

Millwall gone from doing nothing and fans flapping to doing some very tidy business.

Isn't he from Cottam remember @MBcha Saying he was I think

If true a typical Pne situation to now be in.We really have only 1 striker on our books so somewhere along the line a rabbit is going to have to be pulled from a hat.Has anything really changed at Pne we will know come the end of July.

Riis, Maguire, Evans, O'Neil. It may not be the best, but we certainly have more than 1 striker on the books.

 

[oli_oconnell]

Glad we aren’t paying a 31 year old striker who isn’t compatible with playing alongside Riis close to 20k a week.

 

[MBcha]

Isn't he from Cottam remember @MBcha Saying he was I think

Dunno. He might be, but I've not said that.

Tbf, I wouldn't have expected Archer to be compatible with Riis either.

 

[bowlandwhites]

If we haven’t matched a supposed £16k per week for an experienced striker then we really are in trouble in my opinion

He would definitely want the same wages if not more been a striker as DJ & Browne .
Could regret not going the extra mile for this signing

 

[oli_oconnell]

Tbf, I wouldn't have expected Archer to be compatible with Riis either.

How come? Archer pretty comfy coming towards the ball and receiving with back to goal and popping it off. Gray is pretty much exclusively moving away from the ball, much like Riis. Don’t see how it was gonna work.

 

[Pnebraddy87]

Someone on Twitter has pointed out Andre Gray follows our own Hannah Broadley, head of media on Twitter.

Why would that be the case unless he's met her and worked with her?

Pretty sure she has links to Burnley, either fan or worked there (possibly both) could know of each other from his Burnley days.

 

[intensify]

Can't wait to listen to Andre on undr the cosh when he moans they didn't pay him as they lost.

 

[Tommmm12345]

Dunno. He might be, but I've not said that.

Must be someone else then or I was seeing things 😀

 

[northend nevets]

I’m still fingers crossed for CR7

Think we have more chance signing ando

 

[MrHodgeheg123]

Isn't he from Cottam remember @MBcha Saying he was I think

Cresswell Snr. lived off Hoyles Lane in a modern detached when he was playing. Maybe still gas the house.

 

[Soup]

Gray would’ve made a difference next season imo. Certainly a better option than Maguire and Evans. I’m not sure £16k a week for 3 year’s would be a great deal for us though. I’d be concerned about his potential drop off in years 2 and 3.

 

[B(rad)P(otts)IG]

Heard that we have enquired about Duane Holmes. No idea how far we got with that but there you go.
