How many times have we heard this type of statement, only for a couple of new signings to rock up, because the "board have managed to extend the budget"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfason Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 At this rate we'll find the Loch Ness Monster before we announce the new striker If he is coming back from an injury then maybe he can't pass a medical yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the BoD to have tighter control over spending this season. I am expecting Carson to be mutual’d though and possibly Baccus to be sold which will lead to new signings. Just hoping Strain stays. Edited July 24, 2023 by Captain_Sensible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they'll be any good or not remains to be seen. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a stand out and all our good play goes through him. Best player we have by a mile 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 So what's the thinking with Carson? I've written it off, he's not going to our rivals so he can pop off any time he wants if his heart is not set on staying. He is going to be off, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think there is any way back for TC. Imagine his agent is hawking him around whilst Saints are probably holding out for some sort of fee at the moment. If it drags on another 2-3 weeks we'll probably cave and let him go on a free but for now it's entirely reasonable that we expect to recoup what we paid for him last Summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate enough to be sitting very close to where he worked his magic to set up the first goal; he was brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he is getting a reality check and not getting the interest he was expecting. From the outside, a player who signs a new deal and falls out with his manager and throws his toys out the pram is not a great look to a new employer......... now you might see past it if he was younger but as a journeyman keeper at his age with some previous injury challenges......... he really isn't that attractive a deal and certainly not at his current salary. Every year hundreds of young lads join the professional football world but the number of clubs doesn't change, so hundreds have to make way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll sign either Strapp or Marshall as competition at LB/LWB. Or get Small back in on loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I think now that we have added Mandron , McMenamin and Nahmani we are not in a hurry . Think we need to sign a couple of defenders now . That would be ludicrous if we have reached a deal for Pressley and they then risk injury by playing him in a friendly before he joins us. If it is him that’s just disrespectful and the club would be within it’s rights to be pissed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
