Summer transfer rumours thread.

Nah. Not really. Signed a 4 year contract a year ago and we deem him good enough for the Championship. But we'll try to force the price down of course and reach a compromise. Sadler has learnt some stuff from Karl. :)
Not for me at that price and not certain about him at any price.
Be happy to be proved wrong and obviously I trust Critch's judgement.
 
Kirk can cross a ball and take corners, something we have not set the championship on fire for so far so I would like him back. The price does seem a bit steep though. I would want Bobby and Jack Charlton as well for that price.
 
My view is that it's not before time that we started getting tougher. We've been shafted ourselves on numerous occasions. Think of the Bez transfer, and the time when Karl Robinson used us as leverage. Then think of other clubs such as Watford and the way they took Rob Edwards from Forest Green (do you think Watford will care if they do well? Nope). Loads of examples. Football is a dog eat dog world I'm afraid, clubs that are 'nice' won't get anywhere. We set out to get what we want at the cheapest possible price, and if the other club is unhappy about it then tough. Let's not forget, Charlton don't have to sell him to us at all if they're not happy with the price. It's not our fault they signed a player that hasn't worked out for them and consequently want off the wage bill.
 
Forget last season and how Kirk and others performed. This season is going to be tougher, we need bigger stronger and more technically gifted players to cover 5/6 positions, for me Kirk does not meet the level required.
I wouldn't even want him on a free. Would rather use the wages on keeping or bringing in better players. We need quality over quantity.

i don't think we deemed him good enough for the Championship. He was taken on loan to see whether he was good enough for the Championship and obviously there are question marks!

If we want to sign him then we deem him good enough. If we don't, there's no price to talk about.
 
If there’s anything to excite a preston fan this season… it’s this depressing (from a shitpool perspective) thread
I guess there is nothing else for a Preston fan to be excited about then? Makes sense. It does appear to be unremittingly dull.

The clubs are going into this with their eyes open, they know what an option is and that we do not need to exercise it.

Ultimately, the worst case for them is we've taken his wages off their books for 4 months, that's likely saved them £50,000+ already, and he won't have lost any value playing at Championship level, so either way it's a win for Charlton, and they may still get close what they want as a fee.
12,500 per month?!
 
Roll on June 10th when the window opens and we can cash in on bowler and get signing some bloody players. All these rumours boring me to tears
 
Well the lack of activity could now be purposeful if the manager made it known he wanted to go.

Could this mean no players before the manager is announced then a wave of last minutes additions 😬
 
I can’t imagine the transfer targets will change massively tbh. It’s not just Critch behind it, but a whole team who have been working on targets for months. A new manager will obviously have their own men in mind and obviously a different style of play will mean a different type of player but thankfully BFC isn’t a one man band.

It could be one of the reasons Critch has quit, our lack of transfer activity and losing targets to other clubs?

Don’t you worry about us. Season ticket sales are the best they’ve been in years, we have a great young manager and have proven championship players. With a couple of additions and Lowe at the helm who knows… there is a real buzz around the club at the moment. Blackpool on the other hand… 😂😂

Good of you to drop in!

It's the summer recess. A good time for you to call by full of confidence. 🤣 At least your club seems to have learnt some stuff from us. Fair play. Can it make it work? Time will tell.

We have a good set up and a good owner. One bloke leaving isn't a huge issue. Long term plan, club in the rise, and a club that doesn't stagnate. If you know what I mean.

Judged by most on here it seems your owner has plowed all his money into the new training ground, which sadly for you, won’t keep you in the championship. Your best player is likely going to get sold and you’ve lost a very good young manager in Critchley. It won’t be long before the ‘best fans in Europe’ turn against the new owners and you’re back down in league 2 where you belong. Hope you’ve got plenty of tennis balls ready 😆

What a load of bollocks and wishful thinking! 🤣 If you aren't very bright, why parade the fact on a public forum? Our best player isn't who you seem to think it is, for starters. If you don't understand something, best to stay quiet.

Uneducated as well as deluded, the word is ploughed, oh well, where ignorance is bliss it’s folly to be wise.
 
Let’s see what next season brings.

But calling me stupid when you are delusional enough to think we aren’t in a better position than you lot at the moment is pretty bloody stupid. And if Bowler isn’t your best player then who is? Perhaps Ekpiteta - but If he has any sense will abandon the sinking ship like Mr Critchley.

Sinking shift? 🤣

Frigging dimwit.

Ridsdale and the Hemmings family. 🤣

Enjoy your brief deluded moment.

I’m assuming you were going for “TinPotPool” for your username, but forgot how to press buttons on a phone. Bless 😂
