Didn’t Swindon both score and concede the most in the league last season? Makes me think I’d rather be raiding their attackers than goalkeeper & defenders! *I watched 0 league 2 games last season so have no knowledge of how good these players are
Didn't realise he was a Ghana International, so presumably we could lose him during the World Cup?
Highly likely... One Swindon fan has tweeted tonight claiming that the Ghana coach told Wollacott that he had to be playing at a higher level if he wanted to go to the World Cup later this year.
Its a lot less likely, but ironically we could actually lose both him and Maynard-Brewer to the World Cup.
Get back Jonny Williams and we can think about having games called off again
So I get the 'lets go for the best of league 2' angle. Would like to see more from 'the best of league 1' but its a start.
But there are more players in the world than Swindons finest.
We didnt like getting loads of players from Liege - and they included Bulot, Texeira and Buyens.
I wonder, and this is pure speculation, if we identified 3 or 4 Swindon players through the blackbox and then asked the question why and that led us to Garner?
The keeper, Payne, Reed, McKirdy and both full backs had great stats last season. The center back we have already signed did as well.

Don’t worry he played up front for them last season!!🤣
Many fans will be happy to hear we are taking an interest in the Railway Museum in Swindon now. No doubt seen as a futher improvement to the training (get it) ground and to help the new players settle in more quickly. Toot toot.
Nailed on back to Wimbledon with Jacko, they love him there
I doubt it
Don't think he gets on with JJ
That rumour sucks. In a competitive sports environment there are disagreements but I just don't see how two guys like JJ and Jason would've anything other that a good professional working relationship.
I don't feel Jason wants to be number 2 to Jackson again but that's because he is ready to be the boss, decide Tatics and formations. He will get a job somewhere in the national League even if he has to go to National League North or South. Well respected in the England set up along with Chris Powell and amoungs the young coaches I know, many who are black, have only good things to say about Jason when they have met on courses or charity matches.
Sorry but that's a rumour I heard...
Unless it came direct from Jason or JJ, I would discard it.

The best of league one go to the championship. I’d far rather get the best of league 2 than the worst of the championship. Also it’s about getting players to fit the style of play.
Another you and exciting signing. Keep ‘me coming!
This is going to sound rude but it’s far from my intention. But absolutely no one on here is ITK on transfers anymore, the timing and the personnel are a mystery to us all it seems, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

I agree, that’s how signings used to be, I prefer not knowing until it happens.👍

Perhaps agents haven’t been involved in these signings so the news hasn’t ‘leaked’ to bump up the price.
The top of League quality isnt far off mid-table League One in terms of quality, so i'm happy taking the better players from the league below.
Yep. Happy to hand pick the best players from league 2
Best players from League Two, yes - some anyway. But more than 3 or maximum 4 from Swindon would be pushing it too far. I can't believe that they are the best out there that are available to us. Happy with the transfer business so far but now let's show a bit of vision and ambition.
I understand what you're saying, but I've no problem with signing Swindon's best attacking players, seen as they were the best attacking team in the league last year
Not sure where to put this, but the usual characters on twitter have been talking about Thomas not paying the rent for the last three months.
It was to be expected, everything around the club has been positive lately so they were bound to make something up.
Not expecting it but in a way it would be hilarious if we put together a strong team and have a great season. Those characters would be waiting for it to go horribly wrong. For them every L2 signing is further proof we’re going backwards under TS.

Surely agents are involved in every signing. Not many footballers without an agent.
Full backs famously never contribute to attacking play
Nor goal keepers.
Dunno,.. Big Mac had an assist for Washington i seem to recall..
That was my favourite goal of the season because I had a great view and Conor got it right that day unlike the Lincoln home game when he squandered 4 chances. I had to move slightly as Jimmy Floyd's arse was in the way ! The female ref that day.
20 pass move where the ball starts with a pass from the keeper about 10 yards to a defender who is being closed down at a rate of knots. Great to see a swift passing move but mistakes will happen with the sweeper keeper who loves to dribble and do a Johan Cruyff turn. Assist from the keeper I hope isn't disregarded.
Mix and match and keep the opposition guessing. Football really isn't rocket science but a manager needs to think on his feet and make adjustments and subs at the right time. I swear there are some things that can't be taught you just need to be quicker that the guy in the other dug out to find solutions or keep to the game plan if you believe it will work over the 90+ minutes. Hate losing with a passion and get players who feel the same. Fire in your belly with a brain and skill is mandatory for incoming players. Raise the bar for all our players and let them know being mediocre isn't an option any more.

So we pay compensation to Swindon for two members of their team we bring 3 new players in and more to follow .. and we paid off JJ and Euell yet we not paid rent for 3 months …… why don’t people just enjoy the positive feel around the club instead of trying to cause ripples that are just not there

Our best attacking player in the Euros was Luke Shaw. Even scored first in the final......
