Summer 2021 Transfers

A long interview with Adams, but a few bits with regards player recruitment going forward.

 

6 times in 5 days......

 

Pleased that we got him here, that is a really good signing that is.

 

It did, but in the case of at least two of the 3 contract extensions it happened a few weeks ago rather than this week. It's all just opinion at the end of the day and it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, I just think that after all the talk of it being a busy week ahead and the posting of the gifs etc., it all just felt a little bit flat - until this morning

 

This Adams fella seems to think he’s ITK, let’s wait and see.

 

Interesting. Admitted he had a say in the retained list and the new deals before he was announced.

Happy with Cook signing based on what he did last summer. Wants another number 9.

Didnt comment on Stockton. Skipped that speculation.

Wants a squad of 24.

Impressed with Sikora. Room for improvement but will come with training for first team.

Wanted Foulds at Morecombe. Spoke to Roberto Martinez about him who had high hopes for him. Likes his versatility as LB and CB.

Club have made a number of signings nobody knows about. Just waiting on medicals so can announce.

4 new signings to make the get to 24. Havent looked at loan market yet.

Sam Hornby - cant speak about him until its agreed.

Will be speaking to ROD and players about new captain role.

Yann Songo'o - cant answer on him. Didnt rule it out though. Suggested up to the player reading between the lines.

No interest in current players from other clubs. Shock!

Seems happy with back room appointments. Made by club, not him. Happy though.

Assistant manager - working on it but hasnt decided. Announcement soon.

Mark Trueman - very good coach. Understands the club and a big part to play. Met him earlier this week.

Good interview - presenter pressed him and asked the right questions.

 

We had Stockton but he did a u turn and decided to stay at Morecambe

 

Problem might be that we'd have a lot of money tied up in 2 players that will very rarely be in the pitch at the same time.

It'd definitely be an eye catching signing though.

 

Adams didnt rule out playing 2 up top in his interview. Stated we need competition and options. Its a pipe dream signing but never say never i guess.

 

Thanks for doing that.

 

If Adams is claiming we need 4 more players that suggests we have signed 2 more that are yet to be announced. Which he actually said but didnt give a number.

Cook + Eisa + 2 mystery + 4 more = 8.

 

That's good to hear, I haven't listened to the interview but everything I've heard seems to be that he's a 1 up front manager.

 

He talked about 3 up top firstly. 4-5-1 and 4-3-3 similar thing I guess in terms of target man.

 

He certainly did!!!! Let him know whose the boss lol

 

Adams pretty much refused to talk about him. Sounds like Adams looking forward and not back.....one that got away I think.

 

He also said he expects his number 10 to be a goal scorer, Cooke had better up his game then!

 

Everything about the club seems so much more professional. Remember last summer with Stuart saying there’s nothing in the pipeline and we’ll just have to see what crops up. Julian Rhodes our CEO not communicating with the customers. We seem in a much better place now.

 

Id suggest he has identified we also need another option based on that comment.

 

Club have signed two more players.
