Transfer rumours, targets & new signings


Doha

Recommended Posts

As far as I'm aware, the first two signings have said the deal was done weeks ago. There's been no interview with Wilson yet but the people who predicted his signing before the official announcement ssaid the same, it's been sorted for weeks.
I'll be interesting to see if that is the same for the other 12, over the line weeks ago. When people on here and facebook were having a panic attack just a few days ago that bullshltters Flitcroft and Clarke were running out of time and were going to leave it all until 10 mins before the Kidsgrove friendly kicks off.
Goalkeeper is a key signing I am waiting for, do we have two in competition or a regular with a couple of developers?

Believe the word has been that 5 signings were done by last week. Assume the delay in announcements is just agents/holidays/clubs waiting to announce things.

The whole point of having a manager + DoF installed before the end of the season was so that we could prepare and therefore hit the ground running. It appears we have done so. In previous years, we'd be told we were 'waiting and seeing' for the prices to drop in late July.

Lewis Ward/Lee Nicholls as first choice, released Category 1 Academy keeper as reserve.

Nicholls has gone to Huddersfield as backup unfortunately.

Ward or Allsop for me... although Allsop probably will go higher

Disaster. Allsop I agree will land in League 1. Ward it is.

However, I remember when Chris Neal was injured and we signed an inexperienced and widely derided young lad with 18 appearances to his name on the eve of the season. We sold him for £250,000 and he is probably the best shot-stopper I've seen in the bottom two tiers.

I don't get caught up on experience; talent is the focus.

You paid your debts yet?

If I was paid by people I'd had bets with here since I first started using the site back in about 2010 I'd probably be able to buy the club.

I already do my bit for charity with debits coming out of my account every month so I'm pretty comfortable with my decision. Besides, pretty hard to do anything when you get banned at the time for a tongue in cheek comment that the OVF police lose their <ovf censored> about.

The keeper situation is interesting and Lewis Ward is a good shout.....Nicholls has gone to Huddersfield and Allsop is expected to go league 1.

So is it a first choice keeper and a youngster in which case why not keep the young lad from Man City or perhaps for some competition two keepers with experience.....

Ben Garret who left Crewe was out on a limb and trained at Vale ended up as back up keeper for Burton Albion in league 1.....two year deal as second choice sat on the bench first year and sat on the bench at the start of the second only to get a run of games when the first choice got injured but ended up sat back on the bench once the first choice returned for the run in.......was said to have played well with many man of the match performances but out of contract and might be offered a further year to again sit on the bench.....so perhaps a two year deal at a local club and actually playing games as first choice might interest Garret.

Lewis Ward (25) and Ben Garrett (27)

I have a really sneaky feeling Ryan Boot could be on his way back, EDIT>.... but since then I've seen he's liked a lot of Chesterfield related media on Twitter. Off to the spireites then maybe

Seeing as the money was going to the family of Lee Collins, very poor fare. Maybe don't offer or accept bets in the future.

He has signed an extension mate as he became the number one.

No, it wasn't. Lee Collins died after I got banned, which was months later. This "bet" was near the beginning of the season.

I'd like to respond to that:

1. We're not the police, we are volunteers

2. It was a group decision after consideration, we didn't lose anything - cool or otherwise

We don't discuss why we ban users in public but rest assured it's for good reasons and after careful consideration. If you wanted to contest the ban, in private, you had plenty of opportunity to do so.

I am very grateful for the members who have volunteered and who use their spare time, unpaid, to moderate this site and also to put up with often unmerited abuse.

I would remind those unhappy with the above that you don't have to come onto this forum if you don't like our terms & conditions. 

And if you do continue, I would remind you that when you joined the forum you agree to abide by our terms and conditions. So, please do.

Thanks.
