    Wrong Trout!
    Nothing posted in here is on the wrong thread. This is where ideas come to die or be turned into a pun.

    Been doing some digging through "football sources" on why the market is so stagnant.

    The general impression I have got is more than half the EFL have taken out these monitored grants (loans), the ones that are currently under embargo are only the ones that have already breached the terms.

    A lot of them are waiting to sell a player to pay it back and its become a Dutch auction.  Teams offering a fraction of what they know the player is worth, knowing the selling club need the money before they can do anything themselves.  Good players who are out of contract are getting offered pennies.  The exception is when they are players multiple clubs really want (Wyke and Pigott were mentioned by name).

    From what I gather 2 or 3 "big transfers" from the EFL to the prem will kick start the whole thing, else clubs will be giving away talent come the end of August.

    It's more of a poker hand than normal.  Hold your nerve is the word on the street.

    Anyway no idea if that's factual, just passing it on. 
    Pope to Spurs would certainly kickstart our spending .

    Anyone know anything about Abdul Abdulmalik and how much Millwall would be due in compensation?

    To go from being wanted by Arsenal to Portsmouth not pursuing a deal after him being there, I can only assume its wages/fee plus guarantee of first team football?  Else he would have stayed at Millwall?

    Seems a strange one.

    I think he is highly rated at Millwall apparently just lacks a bit with final ball. SLP article said compensation payment too strong for Pompey!

    Couldn't a club with a CAT1 academy sign him under the EPP nonsense?

    Or a Scottish club for next to nothing?  Does he want first team wages and place?  Unless Portsmouth thought he would be good enough for their first team I can't see why a) he would even go on trial b) why he would leave Millwall for Pompey.

    Like I said its strange.

    Honestly.... I'm not actually that fussed right now. The confirmation that we are definitely looking at players is fine by me, it's refreshing to have a professional enough team that we are keeping everything behind closed doors.
    There still a lot of players that are holding out for the “big move “ but soon like Pigott reality will kick in

    Accounts are over due aren't they?

    https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/01788466

    Isn't that an automatic embargo now?




    Saw that on Airmans Twitter feed yesterday.  It is not a great sign to have poor house keeping.
    In fairness companies house if often a bit behind, they probably submitted the accounts before they became overdue but the website hasn’t yet caught up.
    Was about to say the same. The "front page" will automatically default when the date passed 30 June, but we're seeing a lot of accounts at the moment which have taken more than a couple of weeks to be loaded after submission after so many companies took advantage of the extension provided by the Government.
    Accounts have now been filed at Companies House.  Notice states that they are being processed and will be available in 10 days.

    I know nothing about it or him but isn't it just his Agent spouting bollox about big clubs being interested, probably nothing in the links.  Depending on his age Millwall maybe looking for him to simply plug a gap in their U23s much like we do with any number of players, without any expectation of him making it and so offering very low wages and he is hunting around for other offers and failing to find them?

    That's hardly a massive revelation from Adkins. Every manager in every league at the moment will be looking at players, from Man City down to the 10th tier!

    I don't think that's the case here, he has played over age and for England and is only just 18 🤔🤔

    Exactly this, there are so many out of contract players still available and waiting it out for other bigger options. I’ve no doubt the club is working hard on signings but looks like agents/players aren’t prepared to commit just yet. Reality will set in soon enough. 
  • Now the Euros are gone, this is the place to come, apart from Ronnie and his new missus, any incomings and outgoings?

    Yes and no.  It could of if it hadn't been rectified but the good people at the EFL now have the common desency to publish who is under an embargo.

    I would have thought going from Wimbledon to Ipswich is considered a  big move.

    They've rejected a "good bid" - could it have been from us?
