Transfer News 2022/23 Season Incoming Transfers and a few other things

[Mad Dog]

Looks like we won’t have any new ones in for tomorrow (hopefully wrong), at least the squad is two players stronger than last Saturday.

Yep. A crock and a kid

Plenty of 19 year olds in premier league squads are good enough to get into our team though, hopefully he is one of those. As for the crock it’s fingers crossed he is over a run of bad injuries and we benefit from our gamble, we certainly took long enough looking at him, took less time to come up with a vaccine for Covid.

Actually just see we having given Spasov a contract extension, does that count as a signing?

Yeah let’s go out and sign older players with no injury records who still find themselves playing in League One, must be huge upside there.

Good idea

Is Jude Bellingham a ‘kid’ then? Just asking, because at at the age of 18, he’s regarded as one of the best players in the world.

Age shouldn’t define a footballer. If you’re good enough, you’re old enough. Lewis Bate is very highly thought of at Leeds, and judging from the comments made by Leeds fans, he’s too good for our level. Time will tell, but that’s a ridiculous remark.

Does anyone know if any signings will be announced this week?

I agree with your point but I would really suggest caution judging on comments from fans for 2 reasons; how much they've seen the player and how much they know of L1.

I don’t think many criticised Long when he was at centre back last season. In fact I think he played pretty well there mostly. I just believe we’re coming to the end of seeing him as a right back, as he’s just losing a bit of pace and attacking confidence, but he can still be a very solid L1 central defender…

Ok, then we need two RB's.

Well I’m not going to question them on that, because he plays for their club? Its fair to assume that they have a somewhat educated opinion on what he is like as a player. If the general consensus is that he is a quality player, then I will take that on face value.

Referring to him as a ‘kid’ is disrespectful, and really quite patronising. He’s a professional footballer that has played in the Premier League - regardless of his age, that’s some achievement!

We've all be after a snappy signing.

 

[tatabanya]

Hardie?

Yeah and a 750k bid rejected.

I'm talking in general but when people talk about one of our youth players, how many have actually watched them more than once or twice to make a good judgement? It is the same here, although many have seen him in his 140 odd minutes in the PL. Even with that, how many have seen L1 football consistently to compare? By all means take their views on board but do so with plenty of caution.
