Joe Walsh

Could be the experienced head we need. Rated highly by franchise fans with championship experience too.
 
I’d be surprised if this happens.
We seem to be solely using New Era agency for the senior players. Rio Ferdinands part owner agency.

Walsh is with Base Soccer, we’ve used them for some of the youth players but not for the senior squad.

New Era have a lengthy track record of developing players that end up in the Premier League, which is our model at the moment.
 
Unfortunately real life isn’t like playing Championship Manager.

Deals and agreements oil the wheels of football transfers.

I’m not saying we won’t sign this player just because of his agency.
All I’m saying is look at the agents we’ve used since the departure of the Oystons.

We’ve used two for the senior squad.
 
Although we’ve signed some players from new era, we’ve not been exclusive;

Marvs agency is “Valenti”

Keshi is “elite management”

Sarkic is “unique sports”

Robsons is “wasserman”

meaning only CJ and Yates are currently represented by New era.

Edit to add: not up-to-date (see Rekt post below)

Marv and Keshi are both Elite, which is actually part of New Era.



Fair enough of some of the new boys are under other agents that I’ve missed. But my point was we seem to have something going with New Era. Nuttall, Hardie, Scannell, Henneghan etc etc are all New Era.


I could see a few others coming in from them.

Edit to Add Robson is under New Era.

Fair enough, I was just going off Transfermarkt, who I assume have ballsed up
 
Think they are just slow to update their website when players move.

If we are trying to use new era as much as possible, Richard Nartey certainly fits the bill at centre back. 21 year old, former Chelsea - last year impressed on loan at Burton. Currently a free agent. Decent distribution by all accounts.

 
Could you imagine

Critchley “Hi Ben,there’s three players I like the look of from the list Tommy and Jonathan have provided me with,I think all three could improve the squad.

Mansford “Great Neil but what agency? New Era?

Critchley “Erm No not that I’m aware of”

Mansford “Then absolutely not,now go and see who’s based with New Era on that list and report back,Tommy should know better than this.
Critchley “But all three stand out off the page Ben,one even played many games in the Championship upon his release and I’m convinced he’ll sign up.
Mansford “listen Critch we’ve built a brilliant relationship with New Era my decision stands,now go re-read that list.

Bit harsh.
 
Care to expand?
First I don't think we need 4/5 players. Left CB is essential and back up keeper. The rest would be a bonus but of course we may still lose a few.
More importantly there's a vote this week on capping the squad size at around 21/22, excluding u/21s
 
He goes to parties, sometimes until 4, it’s hard to leave when you can’t find the door!
How would he make it to the training ground on time?
 
Where does it say that? He is one of them experienced players that we need, look getting players aged 23-25 is good and all but we need older experienced players to challenge for promotion this season
 
It is from EFL zone on Twitter, not reliable, the only sources that I do trust is Pete o rourke, Alan nixon or Matt scrafton. Otherwise them phony twitter EFL transfer accounts don’t do it for me 👎🏻
