The Summer Transfer - Thread Part 1.

Insider said:
I always liked Jordan but he's not a top end Championship player. (Should I say he is a Nob End Championship standard, sorry couldnt resist).
He played 2 seasons for us as a middle of the road League 1 player which is where I'd put him. He scored 4 goals and had 7 assists. I notice he picked up 7 yellow cards (I believe that's someone trying hard to make up for a little bit of form) in about 26 games last season with 1 assist.
Probably a decent squad player on a free transfer.

When he was with us, he spent more time on the floor than upright. Any kind of challenge and he went down. That's fine if the ref awards the free kick, wide open if he doesn't.

Thought he looked p1ss poor last season although he had wanted out for a while so maybe his heart wasn’t in it. either way we can do better.

He doesn't mention that we have actually made a bid. Hopefully, we will find out before the window temporarily closes on Tuesday evening.

It's all 2+2 stuff with him. He mentions in the paper that Cardiff are interested in Cleverley as manager, which we knew 2 days ago.

He plays percentages in the main.

It's looking like the policy (probably why we appointed Criich) of signing young players, developing them and selling them on for a profit might be on hold.
We are bringing in experience for Steve to sbruce them up a bit.

I don't think signing exclusively young players is smart.

The likes of Apter, Bloxham, Casey, Morgan etc could definitely benefit from having more experienced players alongside them
 
I prefer us to do our business under the radar. Horsfall and Ihiekwe were complete surprises. Getting linked to previous players, like Tyrer, is not a surprise, especially when we need a couple of keepers. But links to others we may be interested in just alerts the opposition.

Shelving the training ground was a significant step, and it all boils down to Sadler losing his hedge fund obviously. It's a much more pragmatic approach now. Smaller squad, streamlined youth set up, east stand revamp, improvements at SG. Mix of experienced and younger players, and hopefully some younger acquisitions sold on at a profit, like Casey and Joseph.

Spot on Pete , I suspect the next signing , other than possibly Tyrer, will be off radar.
 
Does anyone actually have the proof that Paul Kendrick has said Blackpool are interested? I can't see it anywhere!

I wonder if the plan this season is to assemble a team capable of getting promotion...STOP LAUGHING....rather than, RATHER THAN buy young to sell on.

Speculation I know but it makes sense if the Club was to be offloaded sooner rather than later.

Based on business so far it looks like Bruce is targeting promotion, and if rumours are to be believed, is interested in further signings of the same ilk.
