January transfer window

6 figure fee?
Us maybe
Swindon and Northampton probably.
Rochdale have just bought the lad from Darlo.
Can they really afford it???

 

Think six figures is a bit steep for Rochdale know they got money for Beesley and Morton but wouldn't have thought they'd splash out that much , take Newby off them if they did after his little cameo against us at the weekend.
No knowledge guessing at Swindon

I'm sure last nights resounding massacre of the excellent Walsall will postpone the need for further recruitment now 'til the summer at the least...

 

Assuming someone is in for him, they would want the Tav that started this season - not previous seasons or the past couple of months. To be fair to the lad he has been bigged up for a move by his agent so probably slightly unsettled. But 99.9% certain it wouldn't be a loan so unlikely to be us, unless DA is playing games!

 

Ps I know this says League 2 but wouldn't count out interest from Wimbledon after the sale of Ollie Palmer

 

On his way to Scunny I believe

 

be joining us summer of 2023 then.

 

Nonsense! Strikers score goals in better teams it’s as simple as that.
Nahki Wells has only scored 16 goals in 83 appearances for Bristol. Are you saying he’s shit and you wouldn’t want him back here?

 

Spend money? No.

 

Billy Waters from Halifax??

 

Under a transfer embargo, won't be them. I'd take Newby too. Also if Swindon are still not well off I'd take McKirdy now he seems to have his head screwed on. I'm sure I also heard somewhere the other day that Joe Piggot wasn't wanted at Ipswich. Another very capable player at this level and the one above.

 

It’s Tranmere

 

Not a chance. We're not spending 6 figures on anyone. And Adams has said the striker we're looking to bring in, is a loan.

 

Non League as well then

 

Scunthorpe have been awful with their recruitment these past 4 years.

The fact that we've effectively mirrored them in most seasons is an absolute stain on Rupp's tenure.

Feeney has just been replaced at Tranmere by Josh McPake. One club looking up, one club (Scunthorpe) typically looking down.

Terrible signing, in my opinion, for a club with no other ambition than finishing 22nd.

 

On Claret and Banter there seemed to be some weird sort of jealousy to Scunthorpe, one of our fans was always going on about how well run they are and he knew someone on the board. That worked out well…

 

Can you remember the days when we shelled out 6 figure fees on players while we were in division 3 back in the early / mid 90’s?
200k for Richard Liburd. Ha ha
100k for Steve Torpey
250k for Shaun McCarthy
That’s serious money 30 years ago. At todays rate of inflation what would those fees be worth now?

200k for Richard Liburd - £483,698
100k for Steve Torpey - £241,849
250k for Shaun McCarthy - £604,623

It's similar to what Peterborough was paying to mop up gems when in League 1

 

Yeah and even if we get promotion back to 3rd tier I can’t see us paying those kind of fees but in reality that’s exactly what we’d need to do to reach the Championship
