    “With Diggers (Paul Digby), this month’s been why we signed him.

    “We need a resilient, gritty, tough team that can grind out results when it’s like it has been. He’s come alive, he’s been at his absolute best in January.”

    If Stockley goes to another league 1 club I'd be surprised and disappointed in equal measure.

    Hmm, is this a genuine source though?

    Who is this Richard Cawley fellow?
    Has he been put on the rumours list?

    I have no idea who these young Scandinavian player are tbh and also have no idea if they would come to any league one club. However I do think I'm a pretty realistic bloke and hopefully dont allow the rose tinted glasses to affect my judgement and I honestly think we will have the pick of players who think league one is an option. What other club in the league can offer the potential we can now that we have a sensible owner, manager, coaching set up etc. That's an honest question what other club in league one has all of that ?
    Sunderland have a new rich owner and are a far bigger club than us. I think we are undoubtedly a pull though and dont disagree that we can win a battle with most other clubs in the division. Attracting players where championship clubs are interested is completely different though. 
    Agree but not sure Sunderland are that much bigger and we are in London.

    End of the day money talks so we'll see how much the new Sunderland owner, and ours, is willing to spend.
    Seriously?

    Their last full season with fans (year we beat them at Wembley) they averaged just over 32k.

    Personally if he signs good but if he don’t then I do think there better mobile strikers out there ... 50/50 really

    Right back, if true would likely mean Matthews isn’t staying.

    Remember Gallan saying during an interview against Portsmouth on Valley Pass that we would be looking to start signing u23s players to develop and play in the u23s

    Craig MacGillivray (Pompey)
    Andy Cannon (Pompey)
    Paul Digby (Cambridge)
    Charles Hagan (Wendies)

    & now can Todd Kane (QPR) to the list.

    Could be lazy journalism about Kane.

    Anyone who has played under Adkins is being linked.

    I suspect we are covering our bases re Matthews. Interestingly he only signed last year after hia replacement (Gunter) had been signed.

    In May 2021, Kane received a seven-game ban for using abusive language towards Brentford's Sergi Canos that referenced 'nationality or ethnicity' following the Championship game in February. He has also been fined £6,000 and must attend an education session.[47]

    I'm now thinking rumours captured in my spready should only be:

    A - we've made an offer for X player
    B - We have received an offer for X
    C - X Player has received an offer
    D - X Player has been released following negotiations. 
    E - Club related rumours (friendlies etc)

    There's too many "Charlton are interested in X/Y/Z Player"

    I think this would be a strong enough claim for the table @Dazzler21 - anytime the classic "done deal" is rolled out needs to be tracked haha

    Sorry for triple post but I like the sound of this. I am a bit of a stat worshiper and according to whoscored and that article he seems to be a bit of a midfield destroyer. Just turned 26 and could be a good Pratley replacement with a bit more movement about him. 

    The player I would really like though and I hope Gallen and Adkins earmarked him as our new midfield general is Panutche Camara. Young, mobile centre mid, didn't pick up many bookings for the role he played and played most of Plymouth's games.

    There's so many good players in league 1 in all honesty, I don't mind looking at league 2 but we could build a squad strong enough to go up and stay up from this league
    Camara caught my eye as well, was the home league game? or the Cup? or maybe both? The other one sounds good as well.

    Does anyone rate Ryan Edwards Burton Albion? I can't remember him at all from the games against us. Saw he is out of contract at Burton but also double  POTY both from fans and players.And Burton were on an incredible run under JFH.

    Kane would be a decent signing but he's not a massive upgrade on Matthews - if we are linked it's probably a precaution because they believe there is risk in Matthews signing
  • Sunderland, Pompey, Wednesday and us linked to every L1 standard freebee.  I would random sites linking us to players, either made up or agent bollox.

    Kane incoming?

    A lot of these are probably players that Gallen and team genuinely have sounded out - but on a purely provisional basis. While negotiations with the likes of Amos and Matthews are underway it's seeing what could be available should those fall through.

    It's not that we are in the active recruitment of these players yet - just testing the field to see what's available.
