I wonder if Luke Berry is going or supposed to be a kind of talismanic signing to replace Dobbo. I don’t know what his tackling back qualities are like, but he seems to be a good sniffer of goals and is capable of controlled finishing with both feet. Way too early to judge, but if we get a premiership player down to league one it will be intriguing. I hope his fitness will be good.
Simply mouthwatering if this doesn’t lead to a sudden influx in the uptake of season tickets I don’t know what will our charge for top 6 in the third tier of utter wankness has begun in earnest
Addresses the concerns about Small, announces a couple more decent imminent signings. Short, snappy, no bullshit. Goes some way towards answering any lingering questions about "are we doing anything"
- someone seems to believe Alfie May is going to be sold, possibly to Huddersfield to link up with Duff again - multiple signings are done and will be announced soon (this week?) - cryptic hint given towards a player with dreadlocks
Multiple signings are done ? Who comes up with this nonsense. Why would we be announcing it "soon".
Your guess is as good as mine but less than 24 hours later: one announced and two deals confirmed by Cawley…
But I thought Berry had a medical already and it showed up some things for investigation that they weren’t happy with and I also thought so he was going to Wycombe?! 🤣 honestly people need to take a deep breath and sit back and spot the truth sprinkled amongst the never ending amount of nonsense coming from all angles from people so desperate to remain or become relevant.
Great to have the transfers and their announcements well under way. Loads more to come by the sounds of Jones, who to my knowledge is the most in the know person so I’d much refer listen to him than anyone else.
Absolutely this. The attention seeking from some (not on this forum), is laughable.
Date of first transfer announcement the last ten summers:
2015: 22nd June (Patrick Bauer) 2016: 16th June (Ricky Holmes) 2017: 8th June (Billy Clarke) 2018: 27th June (Lyle Taylor) 2019: 17th June (Macauley Bonne) 2020: 12th August (Alex Gilbey) (Covid delayed season) 2021: 28th June (Craig MacGillivray) 2022: 20th June (Eoghan O’Connell) 2023: 24th June (Harry Isted) 2024: ???
2024: 10th June (Will Mannion)
So 3 of the last 4 years, our first signing has been a goalkeeper! That shows how unstable we've been in that position since Dillon left, with nobody becoming the clear No 1.
Said there were deals in the pipeline and that one deal was done but the player gone away !!
Except ONE deal has been done and two different ones are waiting on players currently away. Honestly it's like you're not even trying any more, it's literally right there.

Perfect article and a productive few days
Was fairly obvious the Small one was clickbait sites, algos working a story
Would expect Berry to play further forward with Coventry as the holder. Then I guess it's either another new signing, Terry Taylor or Anderson next to Berry. Or you could go more attack minded and play Berry with Coventry and an out and out No10.

This has got to be bollocks. Multiple (to me anyway) means at least 3-4. Why would we have these signings done already but not announced?
😊
They could fail their medicals. It's not done until it's done

Hopefully this thread is very busy over the next few weeks.

First time a manager (of ours) has come out and said what I've been saying for a few years now. Now to see actions matching the words.
Looks like it will be a busy couple of weeks 👍

joking - I'm delighted t get some business done earlier than usual this year and I hope we can start pre season with a full quota of players
Might be more of a Dobson replacement than thought
