Like Bonne, I’ve never been convinced that Bowyer likes Oztumer. Regularly overlooked, small stature, signed on a shoestring last summer. Moving him on does make a certain amount of sense.
At risk of being added to “the list” I’ve been told that Oztumer could be joining another L1 club tomorrow.
If true, I wonder if we’ll be looking to bring someone else in in that position.
Probably for the best. We've never played in a way that suits him and that doesn't look like changing. He gets a move where he can play and we free up a bit of cash
Watching Williams play for Wales tonight,if he had the same license to get in the box with us as he does with wales he could easily get a few goals,hope LB was watching tonight.
Can see the logic moving Ozzy on, I like him but unless he gets given a free role, we won’t see the best of him. Plus if Bostock comes in then that’s a decent replacement at this level.
I wouldn't give Oztumer to someone around us as I think he can be very good at this level. But it hasn't worked for him here and if it opens up space for someone else it makes sense.
I thought Oz may head to Posh as part of an Eisa deal but that’s just wishful thinking😂
Wouldnt put it past this lot now
Feels emotional in a way supporting a club again that appear to be making the right noises and are moving in the right direction.
Even having a genuine owner like Sandgaard adding comments when we've signed someone or ringing players like Bogle is just a breath of fresh air... Part of me is still wary but its getting harder
Would be a shame to see Oztumer go, because his record at this level is very good and could do well this season.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t really worked here but he’s never had a run of games, something he didn’t manage at Bolton either.
With the players we have in a similar position and another striker coming in, it would probably be difficult for him to get that run of games for him to impact the team and score goals etc.
I think if he’s off, wherever he goes, as long as he plays regularly he will do well and score goals. Meaning lots of people on here will say why didn’t we keep him.
I personally would keep him, in a long season I think he could play a part in some success at this level.
Going to be an interesting couple of days, that’s for sure.
Gotts at Leeds is going to Lincoln.....according to Nixon.
As at 5pm today he didn't know where he was going. Even if he has since signed for Lincoln Nixon was, then, making it up.

Also doesn’t matter what proposal anyone makes for Leeds, because it’s Bielsa who decides exactly where a player is going out on loan, all the way down into their under age groups.

I wonder if it’s feasible to get Charlie Kirk from Crewe? Really good player and they must be one of the clubs in real need of a financial boost
He'd insist of being Captain though
A bit of a klingon I heard, shows a bit of enterprise though. Makes some deep space for the 9, mind. Could he be one for the voyager back to the championship? I am 7 of 9 and half a dozen of the other......

As it stands they're all around us as we have no idea how this season is going to work out. He won't drop to league 2 and won't be wanted in the Championship. Personally think we're best off keeping him.
Everton have just released Shani Tarashaj. Strange one that. Was thought to be a real prospect four years ago and then seems to have played progressively fewer games since then, culminating in not playing a single game on loan at an Eredivisie club who cut it short. I wonder if we would have a look at him, no idea if he's completely gone to pieces or just needs a fresh start. Striker/winger
If was still championship possibly yes. But A lot of people seem to keep forgetting about this cap or are being completely unrealistic. The guy would fit with Charlton as he has basically been injured almost 90% of his time out on loan which is why he was sent back one year yes one year early. He also was on 17,500 a week so don’t think he would sign for 2k a week somehow to a league one club. We need to focus on a striker in league 2 on bottom end of league one who may sell to us and be able to not have issues with salary cap. Or a loan for an unproven but talented prem 2 striker would be a much more realistic option.
Just depends on the player really and what they want to achieve. We're definitely not paying Williams what he was on at Palace (£20,000 pw), or Amos what he was on at Bolton (£16,000 pw). Even Pratley was on £14,000 pw at Bolton. Sure they signed before the cap, but Chris Gunter was on £20,000 pw at Reading and you can bet he's not on that now. If a player wants to make a fresh start and prove himself then he'll take a decent pay cut if that's what he wants to do. The fact he's cancelled his contract with Everton implies he wants to play somewhere. I don't know if he's fit to play or if we'd be interested in him, or if he just wants to sit on a pile of money like a dragon, but just ruling players out because they earned more money off their last contract isn't wise. The only way we're getting anywhere with this cap is uncovering players at a lower level on lower wages than what we can offer, or finding players who played at a higher level and have foundered or reached an age where they need to take a cut to keep playing. Rule no-one out
Said this the other day, come the close of the window there could be a lot of players out of contract that we couldn't afford to pay their demands but all of a sudden 100k a year might be preferable to fuck all. Problem is do we scrape the barrel just to get numbers in or wait & hope to pick some up who's out of contract.
Bowyer will wait to get the best he can. The only time he has settled for “scraping the barrel” was signing Josh Parker and evening he wasn’t as bad as some would have you believe.
Comments
Another experienced keeper coming in allows Ashley to go out on loan and play every week.
" Scratch that search for another striker. Jonny's our boyo".

Cant wait for Friday in a way as feels genuine

I wonder whether we may have a swap lined up with a different club to Plymouth
