The Summer Transfer thread. Critchley Part_deux.

Sorry yeah i used the wrong thread. This one needs stickying. Not too proactive our mods? Too many multiple threads for same topics too.

Discussions are underway as Sheffield Wednesday look to try and bring Reece James back to the club next season following promotion.


Owls manager, Darren Moore, is a big fan of the Blackpool defender having worked with him even before his arrival at Hillsborough on loan last season, and it was always thought that they’d be considering the option of bringing him back.

James himself, who played 34 times in Wednesday colours on their way back to the Championship, has made it clear that he’d jump at the opportunity to return to S6 if it presented itself, and talks are now taking place to see if that can happen.

With Moore being sacked I think James will be staying

League One Clubs Fighting For Services Of Brentford Defender - The Real EFL

Brentford defender Fin Stevens is a potential loan target for multiple League One clubs this summer, including Blackpool and Reading, according to journalist Darren Witcoop. The young defender spent the first part of last season with Championship side Swansea, but would make just five...

Have to say I’m not at all convinced by Darren Witcoop

Had us down for signing Aden Flint. Was one of many who linked Gary Bowyer to us

If he’s a journalist why isn’t he publishing these pearls somewhere more profitable than Twitter?

So filing both this and his Ollie Norburn ‘scoop’ under … we’ll see

He got Critch spot on, tweeted after McCarthy left that we had "sounded him out" for a second spell
 
According to the BBC football gossip page, Everton have turned down a 4m bid from Ipswich for Ellis Simms 😯
Is that the sort of investment needed for Championship football? Or is it a mad tilt at consecutive promotions?

I have a feeling Ipswich are going to do very well next season, especially if they can get signings like Simms over the line. The next East Anglia derby promises to be a good one, for the first time in ages I fancy Ipswich to finish above Norwich.

Quite a statement of intent from Ipswich if they're prepared to spend that sort of money. Norwich seem to be going through a strange spell of signing random foreign players and a lot of their fanbase isn't happy, that said, they have sold over 20,000 season tickets already. I have a passing interest as we lived near Gt Yarmouth until 4 years ago and have quite a few friends who are Norwich supporters.

Whittaker is more of a winger. Highly unlikely he'd be a Gyokeres replacement

Ak ok. I'd not heard of him. He's 6'3" so tall for a winger. Hes described as a winger/striker on Wiki and played in the two behind a lone striker at Plymouth but wide of Piroe at Swansea in a 3. Versatility maybe. Possibly exactly what they want from a Gyokeres replacement. Tall mobile, good all round game.

Blackpool keen on goalkeeper swoop, club demanding six-figure fee » The72 - Football League News

Blackpool are among the sides keen on St. Mirren goalkeeper Trevor Carson, as per a report from the Daily Record. Blackpool are gearing up for League One football and Neil Crtichley will be keen to add some new faces to his ranks. Exits for goalkeepers Stuart Moore and Chris Maxwell mean that...

Unless Grimshaw's on the way out, I can't see that.

Edit, in fact, wouldn't it have been cheaper and more sensible to retain Maxwell.
 
Can we really not get this pinned? No mods about? Can I be a mod? I'm a responsible adult of reputable character.

No chance this is legit.

He's 35, contract runs until 2025 so would need to stump up 100k+, and would obviously be backup to Grimmy.

Sounds like an agent trying to get his client a pay raise.
 
Every player has a price on his head, should we let him go or offer him a new contract, I dont think we
have a replacement within the ranks at the moment, tricky one.
