Summer 2023 Transfer Rumours

Possibly. Or does it tell us that League 2 is a better standard than the bottom half of the SPL?
I bet the wages in League 2 are significantly higher than the bottom 6 in the SPL are paying.

 

I’ve heard Clooney, Matt Damon and Leonardo Dicaprio are setting up a consortium to buy us as we speak, Hollywood goes BFD move over Wrexham.

 

Generally, yeah. Although some players do sign short term deals, depending on the situation.

But yeah I imagine all our offers at this point will be in full years.

 

Well its going to be 12, 24 or 36 months isnt it. Why on earth would they offer him an 18 month deal in June!!!

 

The bench

 

I’ve no idea , that’s why I asked/ suggested.

 

Don't want him getting any contract, hell no.

 

Well you don’t need pace as such if you have a footballing brain, which it would seem from Exeter we maybe getting.

 

100%. Yes I wanted Williams, but if McDonald offers the same quality in allowing us to transition the ball quicker, I’m more than happy. In fact, given he played L.1 last season and Exeter fans seemed keen on him staying, perhaps could argue he’s a better option than Williams. By default he is if rumours are true, in that he actually wants to play for us!

I genuinely don’t care who we sign, known/big name or not. Young or old. I just want the right calibre of player to get us out of this damn league! The signing of Taylor has been slated and yet again fans choosing to judge when barely through the door. He’s tall, he’s experienced. If he improves our dismal defensive record and goals from set pieces then I’m happy.

All this said, will be chuffed to see Aygei sign if happens. We defo need some newness in the ‘bums off seat’ department!

 

And he will win balls bouncing about in the middle. He’s 6ft 4 I believe , not 5ft 5 Olly.

 

I wanted Williams but we need someone regular in the field. Not sure Williams could have given us that with his injuries in the past...

 

Mcdonald

Pros - big lad, experienced, good footballer, good pedigree

Cons - age, pace

If he was 27 and had pace he wouldnt be playing L2 football. As simple as that.

 

Fair comment,I’d be pretty well chuffed if we did land him and probably offers more than Williams ?

 

I agree, he will be 35 in November, so I hope if he does sign it’s a one year deal with the option for another year.

 

It’ll be our standard contract template for 3 years as no-one knows how to edit the pdf

 

Whilst I don’t disagree it’s somewhat overstated that we lacked goals last season, we scored the same as Orient and Stevenage but conceded more. Yes we can’t rely on Cook getting 30 so the goals need to be spread out more but it’s unlikely we’d score many more as I’d be shocked if Cook or any other individual repeats the feat.

Stats are often too simplistic, you can score 5 goals a game for 5 games and technically lose, another team can only score 5 in 5 and return 15 points, the points is all that matters.

 

More likely to be Stephen H Smith after selling his garden centre to Tong

 

If it was true it really would be a great combo given Bradford's history with film. Maybe we fans can create some noise.

 

Quite possibly will cost us considerably less as well for the same sort of quality. Win win.
