Summer 26 Transfer Rumours

Tilt coming in for some unfair stick. Everyone wrote him off last summer, and he came in and was an ever present in the team that finished 4th. Bodied strikers and wingers on a weekly basis.

That being said, I cant recall a player who looked more unorthodox in controlling and dribbling with a ball. We got a fee and it means now that we have a clear slot that needs filling at LCB. Best of luck to him

 

That's two left sided centre backs gone on Tilt and Kelly.Must be someone coming in.

 

Didn’t see that one coming
Steady player for us last season and played his part in our final position

 

Would be great but wishful thinking

 

He nearly gave a goal away in the first leg and looked way off it and was hooked off at HT in the 2nd leg after a poor showing first half. That's just my thinking why he has been sold.

 

Yes that's not in doubt, and footballing decisions need to be made. But you suggested they didn't see eye to eye which is a bit different!

 

Did the job required of him but like most players we had requires an upgrade. Good luck to the lad at Burton, every team needs a no nonsense defender.

 

Tilt isn't one to hold back and neither is Alexander so after what happened at the end of those games it wouldn't have surprised me if they had a discussion nothing nasty but more of case Alexander felt tilts time had come to an end hence why we are looking to improve that area

 

Surprise that.

Tilt was terrible in the playoff game, but you don't axe players for one bad game.

Age is against him, but pressure is on now for a top drawer signing given we should have money.

 

Shepherd return?

 

Wouldn’t say no but we’d have to knock that Barnsley way of playing out of him . They ruined him imho. Great cover .

 

Or it could be as simple Burton making an enquiry about his availability and the club/Tilt himself seeing it as an opportunity neither could turn down. We get a fee and the opportunity to upgrade a year earlier than anticipated, Tilt gets a new 2 year deal at nearly 35 years old. It's a no brainer.

 

Would be a fantastic signing based on his game at VP but I think he’d be too expensive for us.

 

Just seen this. Interesting. Looks like we've learnt from letting Power go before securing his replacement.

 

It sounded like Alexander didn't want him to go but he wanted to be closer to family.

 

Yes. They have just said someone will be announced soon who plays LCB.

 

The next players we sign, can we make sure the travel won't be a problem - Thanks.

 

Good to hear the priority recruitment areas are LCB and central midfield. Hopefully means we have some strong players coming in

Question about Curtis Tilt - did you have inkling?

Alexander: "Agent spoke to David three weeks ago, offer from another club, closer to home.

"We know we've got someone who will be announced shortly to replace Tilty."
