We’ll be after Rogers too?
Hopefully I won't need a "trois" thread .Sorry Insider, your new thread is bearing very little fruit. No actual signings followed closely by next to no rumours!
Ben Woodman has been released by the scousers.Pedigree is meaningless. Mentality is key. Sarkic had a better pedigree than most players to ever grace the BR pitch... (Benfica, Anderlecht, Leeds etc) now he plays in Kazakhstan after not cutting it in League 1. Malauray Martin of Monaco, Gerardo Bruna of Real Madrid and Liverpool, Tyreece John Jules of Arsenal and Ben Woodburn of Liverpool and Wales national team… all players of pedigree. Now look at Marvin Ekpiketa, Sonny Carey and in recent years Gary Taylor Fletcher and Alex Baptiste… none of these have anything like the pedigree of the players at the top but they’re all twice the player when they have a ball at their feet.
Depends if Appy makes it until the end of the transfer window this timeHopefully I won't need a "trois" thread .
What about him?Pape Matar Sarr
Obviously the cameras won't show them but I wonder if we've had any "trialists" training with us this week?
It’s almost like being in the the Premier League means you have more money. Who knew?Meanwhile Premiership new boys Nottingham Forest smash their transfer record with the £17m capture of a Nigerian player from Union Berlin.
Bournemouth also sign Joe Rothwell from T’Rovers on a 4 year deal.
We seem to have our fair share of trialists in pre-season games in the past.
Maybe for Southport?
Doubtful, maybe Ward will get a run-out as one, otherwise the club's got 25+ players registered, and the sort of players who turn up as trialists aren't likely to improve the squad, so why bother?
Edit:
Fun fact, the last trialist was against Burnley last year, Mitchell Clark, on the books at Leicester, ended up at Stanley on a free after Leicester supposedly asked us for £250,000 for him.

He won't just be looking at Lincoln but the fact that they finished 17th in league 1 is irrelevant to how good all their players are. It is possible to play in a struggling team and be a good player.I know I'm pessimistic but it worries me when I read about various Lincoln City players that we are allegedly interested in. Lincoln City finished 17th in division one last season. That's how good these players are.
I hope our new manager has got more ideas about players to try and bring in than just looking at his previous club.
A lot more.
Hope that is correct!Plenty of signings in the next two weeks. A couple will be absolutely top drawer too.
Didn't you also say that Rosenior was a done deal and was going to be announced?Plenty of signings in the next two weeks. A couple will be absolutely top drawer too.

You know as much as everyone else does.
As Brenda from Bristol would say “ what another one”.Another one

Bournemouth plot £1m swoop for Blackpool's Josh Bowler in low-spending window
BOURNEMOUTH want to keep spending low in the Premier League — and plan a cheap offer for Josh Bowler. The Cherries bid more than £3million for the Blackpool winger, 23, in January but will try thei…www.thesun.co.uk
I reckon they might get told to fuck offTaking the piss at £1m.
I hope we keep him, get him on a new contract and if we have Rogers in on loan and we buy Scully and get CJ firing then with the stikers we have we would be awesome. Personally I'd sell Anderson and get a decent creative midfielder in, a cover for right back and a left sided wing back. They can fuck off with 1 million, he would be worth more to us in our side.I reckon they might get told to fuck off
Id rather keep Keshi and get rid of CJI hope we keep him, get him on a new contract and if we have Rogers in on loan and we buy Scully and get CJ firing then with the stikers we have we would be awesome.

Can’t see us forking out 2m for one player although I would absolutely love to have him back here on a permanent!Per Nixon — Burnley out of Ballard chase. Now wanted by Sunderland, Millwall … and Blackpool
No.I expected LR to be appointed (like everyone else)I did find out that Appleton was offered the job and would be announced Friday …. Three days before it happened. I also told you all that it wouldn’t be Michael Duff. We are at an advanced stage with several signings and that’s an absolute fact.Didn't you also say that Rosenior was a done deal and was going to be announced?

Now that would be an incredible signing. Imagine having Ekpiteta and Ballard in central defence!Per Nixon — Burnley out of Ballard chase. Now wanted by Sunderland, Millwall … and Blackpool
Burnley are spending 1.6m on luke mcnally (cb) from Oxford, they will have to dig deep if they want Gabriel aswel with 3 years left on his contract with us, hope we hang on to him thoughThis thread is hotting up a bit a last.
Hope we don't lose Gabriel but everyone has his price.
Think the only way were getting him is if we orchestrate some kind of structured deal.Now that would be an incredible signing. Imagine having Ekpiteta and Ballard in central defence!
If we sold Bowler for 4/5 million?, maybe Sadler would see Ballard as an investment if he can pick him up near 2?
He’s worth more than that in my eyes and has all his best years ahead!
Truth be told though - I don’t believe we will get him
He will go to whoever pays him the most wages...it wont be us.Think the only way were getting him is if we orchestrate some kind of structured deal.
I know I'm being picky but Eky and Ballard (edit) are both righties. We do look a lot mkre comfortable moving the ball forward out of defense with a leftie at LCB. That's partly why Thorniley looks more composed on the ball when he plays.Now that would be an incredible signing. Imagine having Ekpiteta and Ballard in central defence!

Did you mean Ballard (not Bowler) ?I know I'm being picky but Eky and Bowler are both righties. We do look a lot mkre comfortable moving the ball forward out of defense with a leftie at LCB. That's partly why Thorniley looks more composed on the ball when he plays.

Of course I do, doh.Did you mean Ballard (not Bowler) ?
