There isn't enough room!!!Should donate these threads to the National Football Museum when it's all over
Don't worry the January thread will be open on 2 Sep.If we don’t sign anyone until the final day…Sept 1st it should be called the Autumn transfer thread….
I think you should roll out a ‘Three word Transfer Window’ thread when it closes - or have one now and then when it closes to see what differences there are (or are not)...and another bus goes by....
Maybe we need to ask tangerinedub how good Lyons is.Sure I've heard that we've already talked terms with Andy Lyons despite not agreeing a fee. Supposedly we are at the stage of negotiating how much we pay to loan Rogers from City.
May not need to be a 4th thread !
Due to popular demand here is version "trois".
This is going to be the "lucky" thread.
Edit.
At the time of posting this was the 1755 post on the subject
Lavery's Norn I.I'm putting my money on the Shamrock lad to be first over the line.
Lavery will have persuaded him.
Who does CJ play for?Lyons will be cover at right back if he signs but although highly rated he has never played outside Ireland so a risk.
Surely Uncle Richard is the guiding force here as it’s Southern Ireland.
I forgot about his strong Irish connection and roots..Who does CJ play for?

Thought the name rang a bell !Interesting, Andy Lyons won't be the first Andy Lyons that we've had at pool.
Andy Lyons used to manage the "Blackpool Centre of Excellance" until 2008.
So I think it would be fitting if the new Andy Lyons would be called Andy Lyons Jr or Andy Lyons II.

Lincoln have a bit of history of doing well from the Irish leagues. Have a few Irish youngsters and sent a few of their own out on loan to Ireland last season (both did pretty well by all accounts). I imagine Appleton and his coaches will therefore have a bit of knowledge of some of the better players.Might just be a scouting tip off if Lincoln have been looking at their players for a while and Appleton was involved in that process
Is or used to be a competitive market trying to unearth talent in the Irish leagues.
Not necessarily, we may not be willing to pay their clubs asking prices, that doesn't mean we don't have a larger budget than last year.Well they say third time lucky Insider. Your first two posts resulted in nil signings and very few rumours. Surely we must have a couple of signings soon? It is quite obvious that many of our original targets have fallen by the wayside and gone elsewhere and the budget, which is better than last season's, is not quite as we were told?
Rogers in means Bowler out means we sign players. That’s my gut feeling anyway, and I could’ve sworn the board have said we aren’t a selling club.If Rogers comes in does that mean a Bowler replacement or addition?
It's a bit of a balancing act really. Just bear in mind that we're already quite close to the 25 squad limit, so there will need to be "outs" to accommodate the "ins".Rogers in means Bowler out means we sign players.

Well if we have to sell to get players in then that’s a load of tosh.
Imho
Edit to add: yeh this looks really pessimistic of me in this post. I’m just frustrated.
I figured we were close to signing someone when we allowed Casey and James out on loan. That is 100% the right decision as they both need to play and freeing up a couple of places is key for when we do actually bring some players in.It's a bit of a balancing act really. Just bear in mind that we're already quite close to the 25 squad limit, so there will need to be "outs" to accommodate the "ins".
What do you mean they’ve said we aren’t a selling club? I’d love to see proof of this.Rogers in means Bowler out means we sign players. That’s my gut feeling anyway, and I could’ve sworn the board have said we aren’t a selling club.

Why sign players and keep it a secret? Are deals not finalised yet or something? If that’s the case then we haven’t signed anybody yet.We’ve actually signed two exciting players, but as the club doesn’t do leaks, nobody knows about it.
I’m sure you realise it was tongue in cheekWhy sign players and keep it a secret? Are deals not finalised yet or something? If that’s the case then we haven’t signed anybody yet.
It’s wasted on some.I’m sure you realise it was tongue in cheek
Unless your Man City, Real Madrid or Barcelona all clubs are selling clubs.Rogers in means Bowler out means we sign players. That’s my gut feeling anyway, and I could’ve sworn the board have said we aren’t a selling club.

Too true!Unless your Man City, Real Madrid or Barcelona all clubs are selling clubs.
Did not City sell SterlingUnless your Man City, Real Madrid or Barcelona all clubs are selling clubs.
Not because they had too. You sell bit part players whoever you are. City won’t for example sell De BruynDid not City sell Sterling
Yeh we need a couple more out, then (in the world of awesome transfers for BFC), we swoop down and get two fantastic players in.It's a bit of a balancing act really. Just bear in mind that we're already quite close to the 25 squad limit, so there will need to be "outs" to accommodate the "ins".
The club have stated we will develop players sell them on and re invest into the playing squad to help us grow.Rogers in means Bowler out means we sign players. That’s my gut feeling anyway, and I could’ve sworn the board have said we aren’t a selling club.

It was in one of the first interviews done with SS, it might’ve been someone else (Mansford) but sorry I can’t remember.What do you mean they’ve said we aren’t a selling club? I’d love to see proof of this.
Our whole model is on buying young talent and selling for a healthy profit and reinvest.
