    Heard we have been linked with Joe Bennett. 
     
    31 year old attacking left back.  Not sure but might be available on a free as out of contract.

    Played a lot of games at a higher level.

    EDIT  did his ACL in March


    He is back in full training already. 
    Position we need a body.

    Does fit Gallen's "experienced" profile.

    Don't remember him at all as a player but wiki says

    "Bennett is regarded as an attacking full-back with impressive speed.[64] During his career, he has played as a left wing-back and a Left winger as well as a traditional full-back.[65] Paul Fraser of The Northern Echo has described Bennett as "very quick, likes to get forward and is probably better attacking-wise than he is defensively."[64] Bennett has stated that he likes "to get forward whenever I can" and "be involved as much as possible and get some crosses in."[65]

    Assume it was an ACL strain rather than a rupture. Seems to be back very quickly.

    Is this Bennett link genuine or a wish link ?
    Wishful thinking, a suggestion, his name jumped out from a list of free agents. 100% not a rumour.

    Very very unlikely to sign for us. But would love it if he did.

    no further questions / correspondence on the bbq sorry Oggy - this thread is serious business - rumours only - oh, and not made up one's or one's that are on other message boards or one's that may infer that you are ITK, unless you are and you also run the risk of ridicule if it doesn't come to fruition. Its a scary place but rules are rules and a lack of rumours is a lack of rumours - i got Lennie's view on our transfer business but won't divulge on here.

    We've signed his brother - Gordon.

    Is the fella in the checked shirt extending his hand thinking under his breath:

    ”Not sure I’m facing the right way but here goes - ‘Lovely to meet you Mr Lawrence…..Mr  Lawrence….. Hello…..shit, he hasn’t seen me, keep smiling, now what do I do?”

    Another one bites the dust 

    (Yes I know we might not have been in for him anyway)




    Why would we need a decent quality left back on a free transfer when we have Chris Gunter ?   :
    To be fair, I thought Gunter has done well at Left Back in the last couple of friendlies
    Don’t understand the stick Gunther gets here. Played in different positions for us. He may be at the end of his career but I think he’s been decent for us. 
    Feels like Simon Francis all over again on here
    I wasn't giving him stick but pointing out that we have a right back playing at LB. He may well have had some decent games but I would rather have a natural LB playing that position.

    Just seen Dion Charles rumoured. Not sure how legitimate the source is though.

    Officially the worst rumours thread of all time. 
    That is because there are none due to lack of signings.

    Accrington want around £2m don’t they? 

    I can’t see us spending 7 figures on a striker to sit on the bench

    I imagine he's one where Accrington are asking too much at the moment. Looks like there are Championship clubs looking at him so when they eventually do lower their asking price we don't really stand a chance.

    Is he the big agressive lump who bullied Pearce a bit? He looked very good. 
  • League One transfer round up for last week for the curious.
    https://southnorwoodaddick.com/2021/08/02/league-one-transfer-round-up-26th-july-1st-august/ 

    Accrington and Morecambe are the first in the division to balance Ins and Outs. Interestingly, 7 of the bottom 8 teams would consider themselves promotion candidates, it really is a bizarre summer.

    Yes you’re right.

    Wondering whether we’ll also sign a goalkeeper. AMB is away and Adkins also spoke previously about him going on loan this season. If we could get a winger and left back this week and a goalkeeper next week, I’d be happy for us to take the rest deep into the window to get the best deals.
