  • I'm happy with Shinnie I just hope Smyth isn't the striker spoken about. If it's Smyth, Shinnie and a striker I'd be happy. All very well having creative midfielders but with low scoring strikers, were bringing in people who haven't scored more than 5 in two years.
  • If we only get Smyth in after that today I might be a bit concerned, unless we’re putting all of our faith in Bogle I can’t really see where the goals come from. 
    Thought Cawley said Smyth was off and we’ve moved on.

    Nah that was Sorba

    No that was Sorba Thomas
  • Having seen both play multiple times, Oztumer is a better player than Shinnie. 

    I thought we shifted out Oz and Lapslie to make room for a much better player?

    I'd be happy with Shinnie, Smyth and a young striker on loan. No out and out striker and I'll be underwhelmed.

    I've come to realise that when Cawley tweets the player's name, usually we're there or thereabouts. He doesn't scupper deals in that way, so I think we should expect this to happen.
    Cawley has a direct line to Bowyer and given we know Bowyer likes (or tries) to keep deals under the radar as best he can, i think if Cawley is tweeting something then we know it's either 100% true or a deal is near.

    Having said that, Ransom tweeted it first, and he's also highly reliable, so if both are pushing it then it's obviously true.

    I don't see how a non league side can turn down a 6 figure fee in the current climate. It could pay their wage bill for months.
    There also cant be that many league one clubs who will be paying out 6 figure fees in this current climate.
    £1,000.00 is six figures. 
    Only in your parallel world.

    Better in what way though? Oztumer has one goal (this year) and (probably) no assists, albeit in the Champ with a stop start season. Not sure you can compare them looking at their pedigree so far, and experience
  • We have 3 loan players already. If we bring 3 in today, we need one to be a permanent signing
  • I'm being really negative today, but I was so excited for a proper deadline day, these players feel like compromises to me 
  • He won the Scottish Championship with Hibs and two promotions at Luton Town.

    Experience like that will be vital.
    Plus he has played plenty of games. 
  • Must admit I’m underwhelmed with all the names mentioned. 
  • Shinnie is an attacking midfielder who has scored 6 goals in the league in 92 appearances for Luton. That's about the same as Nabby Sarr.

    I’m personally comparing their general play whilst I’ve seen them live. Oztumer stood out at this level and Shinnie didn’t. 

    Fair enough it hasn’t worked out for Oztumer here, and Shinnie brings bags of experience - I just don’t see where he plays? 

    I’m quite confident Oztumer will get more goals and assists for Bristol Rovers than Shinnie will for us. 
  • Love this, really feel that we are seeing Bowyer craft the team the kind of team that he wants - seems clear that the emphasis is on experience, which seems like a very good idea.

  • To me it looks like its Sorba OR Smyth for the wide/winger place. Was Cawley referring to Smyth just then or Sorba ?  Can't see us signing both as we still NEED A STRIKER WHO CAN SCORE US THE GOALS WE NEED TO WIN GAMES.
    In my opinion the latter won’t happen. Just have to hope that the likes of Bogle and Washington can score more goals in a season than they have ever done before.
    If you look at there best goal scoring Washington got better than 1 in 3 for Peterborough and Bogle better than 1 in 2 for Grimsby.    If you forget they both didn't score in the championship that's 2 in 3, or better between them.

    Some of your lot are mad. Talking about underwhelmed etc. 

    1. We are a league one club with a salary cap.
    2. We have missed most of the transfer window due to ownership.
    3. There is not this pool of proven attacking talent out there we can just pick up and sign.

    Anyone that comes in i'm happy with. Everyone improves under Bowyer.
    Yeah but I want us to sign Mo Eisa!!

     If he's from Luton, my guessing is he's a bit of a lump?
    Otzumer did have a tendency to get blown off the ball.
     I think we know Bowyers thinking about this season if it happens.
  • Both sound very much squad players rather than starters, hope there is one more who sounds a bit exciting.

    Honestly, sometimes I read the comments on here and want to bang my head against the desk
    Social Media is a LOT LOT worse!!

    If someone comes out with a stupid comment on here I feel they can be reasoned with

    On twitter / facebook you've got no hope

    Do we need another attacking midfielder?
    We’ve just loaned out Lapslie and Oztumer, I’d say yes. Who scores goals from CM, especially when Gilbey is out?
    Wasn't Johnny Williams the last league 1 player to score a goal anywhere 🤠

    He is at the start of a hot streak. 
  • Would it be SO terrible to have Conor Washington as our main man, if he starts firing? I reckon he'll be our top scorer
