Summer 2023 Transfer Rumours

Hendrie will be off surely. Thats another space you would think. East and Platt can go for me as well. East offers nothing to that CM role and if its true another club is willing to pay for Platt then I would be letting him go too - as long as we bringing in a replacement mind.

 

Utter nonsense from FB strikes again. The lads who were hunting with Harratt were named in the press at the same time as him.

I remember talking to a relative of Youngs I work with when the Harratt thing kicked off and asked if they were close but they did say him and Jake weren't that friendly. There was the pre season video where they roomed together and it might have made them appear friendlier than they actually were. They said they met Harratt once and he came across like a teenage chav that hasn't grown up, weren't surprised when they hunting thing came out.

 

Hendrie is the only one I'd expect to leave. Think people like East, Osadebe, Odusina will see how the season pans and expect rotation minutes but end up having to make a decision in Jan like Sutton & Angol last season.

I think for East and Osadebe it depends on McDonald. Exeter fans were praising his play and standing with their young squad, and i think thats what would be key for some of our younger lads. But ultimately, if McDonald cant stay fit enough to be involved as the season ramps up, someone like East then is involved in every matchday 18 most likely. I reckon there will be a lot more rotation this season than last.

 

East is no doubt a 'tidy footballer' but he doesn't offer enough for me - nothing dynamic about his play.

I don't see East making the match day 18 this weekend if I am honest. And that is without McDonald. Osedebe gets in ahead of him this weekend because he just offers more.

 

But if East goes, who will wear the Hawaiian get up in the comedy videos? The boy needs loaning out to get some proper game time and beef up a bit.

 

Had n't realised Harrett was making the first team for 'Udders back end of last season. Impressive apparently and Warnock really rates him, and has him firmly part of the team for this coming season.

Can't really remember too much about him on the pitch for us to be honest, and wonder why he did n't appear more often for us before his recall? Horses for courses, clash of personalities?

 

For this weekend, I have 17 who will be in the squad for sure if fit. Although I drove past Walkers house about an hour ago and both his cars were on the driveway, I'd assume we are training today? Unless he has a day off or something nursing a knock.

Lewis, Halliday, Ridehalgh, Taylor, Platt, Smallwood, Walker, Osadebe, Cook, Pattison, Gilliead, Odour, Doyle, Stubbs, Kelly, Oyegoke & Derbyshire..... leaving East/Odusina/Pointon to battle for the one remaining matchday slot. Not listed Smith as he might still be injured, but if he's fit he's in the 18 ahead of the other 3.

 

Thought wednesday's were the squads regular day off ...

 

Isn't Wednesday usually the players day off?

 

No Saturday

 

Having seen Ash Taylor in action, i'd rather get rid of him again and keep Platt all day long. We will concede many goals and set pieces this season if Taylor plays

 

Good.

Good luck to him. They will probably take over his City deal by paying a portion of his wage. We certainly won’t get a fee !

 

Season long loan. with re-call in Jan, in I suppose a chance he maybe sold elsewhere

 

Ahh yes! Forgot about that one.

 

He won’t be scoring a few for sure.

 

Both from the Huddersfield area….!

 

They were only young lads who could blame them

 

Remember Eoin Doyle going to Swindon?
