Summer transfer rumours deux, the 'Appy edition.

[585 = never give up]

I try to always be positive about our club, whilst at the same time being constructive & realistic.
However; this season is going to very competitive and preparation is key to an all important good start. At what time do we start to say it's taking far too long to recruit new players; ask what is causing the holdup & query if there is a problem with player budgets?

 

[AmericanTangerine]

You've deffo got your glass half full, and I've deffo got mine half empty, that much is clear
I was definately more optimistic but it's just been grinding me down. It wouldn't be that bad if appletizer hadn't kept saying we're so close over and over again!

Fair is fair, definitely wish he wouldn't have said anything until things were 100% done

 

[Chunkylad]

So which of Luton's signings do you think are better than the players the club already has?

I’ll go with Woodrow is better than Bez.
Just though…. Not by much

 

[Lost Seasider]

Potentially every single one depending on how the season goes

And potentially none at all.

I really don't see why posters are getting worked up about other clubs signing players we wouldn't even look at now.

 

[FessParker]

I'm not particularly concerned at our lack of transfer activity at this stage remembering that two of our best
signings Paul Simpson and John Murphy were only signed a couple of days before the respective seasons started.

 

[Albert Ross]

Not a bad run chase this Insider. 2 threads a total of 1445 posts and still no signings.

[Tangerinenick]

Not worried at all. I think we have a half decent squad with some good youngsters. I think Apter is good enough and will get better.

 

[SwannDangerous]

And potentially none at all.

May as well not bother signing anyone then yep!

Post training camp rumours and signings.
Definitely needs another

Why sign players who are going to make the team worse?

Exactly. The delay can be seen as a good thing. We’re not settling.

Defensive midfielder apparently.

As Brenda from Bristol would say, what, another one.

Fair chance, Mansford will know him from his time at Maccabi Tel-Aviv.

 

[CalderwoodCritchleyWon’t]

You can all lap it up and clap the same tune but I am not impressed at all, and I think it makes us look shit.

Especially as the manager has come out and said he wants signings by yesterday with the club being "really close" last week and they still aren't here!

Intelligent insight here.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Intelligent insight here.

Are you really one to comment?

 

[Seasider3610]

Fair chance, Mansford will know him from his time at Maccabi Tel-Aviv.

Yes he does according to Lancs Live

If he can get the ball forward then get him signed up FFS

He can score a few goals as well

 

[Tangerinenick]

Mr Mansford knows him….

 

[NewburyOne]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1544381851418206210

That would explain why he hasn't signed yet, the club are that skint he's currently walking to Blackpool. The club are hopeful he'll be available for September, if he makes the Channel swim safely.

 

[Albert Ross]

Yes he does according to Lancs Live

17 goals in 180 games, wow. He should fit in well with our other free scorers.

 

[TangerineBayern]

Appy confident that at least 1 newcomer will arrive before the Gers game on Saturday

He's a centre mid???????

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

He was confident we’d get 2 in before the Scottish trip.

 

[Albert Ross]

According to his bio, he’s a defensive mid. Of course we all know that’s what we’re desperate for, we apparently don’t need a creative mid.

Personally if Carey and Anderson are fit and staying, they can both do that role.

Hence Jaffa

 

[Scaramanga]

I wont be surprised if we don't sign anyone on loan until the Prem sides name their 25 man squads in September.

It’ll be too late by then, the window closes on Sep 1!

For the loan market ?

 

[Seasider3610]

17 goals in 180 games, wow. He should fit in well with our other free scorers.

He just has to get the ball forward to our attacking players.

If he doesn’t pass the ball backwards he’s got the job

Are you sure about the defensive mid?

Where did you get that? Which website?

“The experienced midfielder has scored twice against Scotland in the Nations League and World Cup qualification.”

“With over 30 caps for his country, Peretz has an eye for goal from central midfield with five for his nation and 17 for Maccabi”

This reads a lot better.

If he is scoring at International level he must decent

 

[alginate]

For the loan market ?

Yep. Only free agents can be signed after the window closes.

Yeah, but 2 of those goals were only against the jocks, so perhaps they don’t count.

 

[Brett&Murphs.]

I doubt MA would of come out and said he’s confident of getting a signing or two in last week if he wasn’t. That indicates to me we’re struggling.

 

[HodderSeasider]

He was confident one would arrive before they went to Scotland. So that confidence does for you!

Never said it did hence the BTW it’s a snippet in Lancs Live

Rudoni to Huddersfield?

 

[hertfordseasider]

Rudoni to Huddersfield?

I reckon that's one of our targets gone. Good player.

 

[Lanc_seasider]

Aaron Mooy ex Huddersfield and Brighton linked with a championship move. 31 now, would be a good signing but I bet there’s a few after him.

Blackburn looking at him apparently

Huddersfield and Swansea too. Not exactly the giants of the division, you’d like to think we could at least compete if we wanted to.

 

[Camberwell1]

I think we should go for some of the England Women - they are in form

"The link to Hull City is via their gaffer, Shota Arveladze. Shota managed Dor at Maccabi Tel Aviv in 16/17. Blackpool’s Chief Executive, Ben Mansford, held the same title with Maccabi Tel Aviv from 2017-19 before joining Blackpool. Dor & Mansford won a league title together."
