January (2017) Transfer (Rumours) Thread - (Deadline Dayfrom page 67)

Apparently, Radio Kent talking about Tarpey at Maidenhead, and Charlton are said to be showing a real interest in him. Dartford were there a couple of weeks ago, and he was on fire, but that is one hell of a jump. Still, we have the Lookman money, so I suppose we can offer them 5,000 plus add ons and Roland can use the rest to, well, consolodate our position in mid table league one.

Son of a turnstile

Is he better than what we have already in Magennis, Ajose, Novak and Watt

At the risky of annoying Mr Positivity @sam3110 (and forgive me if I've missed previous posts about this, but this is a busy thread), but has anyone actually seen Jake Forster-Caskey play? There have been quite a few comments both for and against (mainly for), but not sure if it's second hand info or eye-witness accounts. He sounds good, but just wanted re-assurance!

Dunno why you've name dropped me there mate, all I have said is the regime have clearly changed tack so far, when it comes to transfers in this window, but it's early days and there's still 3 weeks of the window to go.

I vented because I was frustrated by people automatically putting everything down, moaning about transfers and generally being miserable sods even when the cold hard facts show we have been proactive rather than reactive so far.

I, like everyone else, await the inevitable selling of a key player with no replacement, or signings that never materialise whilst we are fed lines about rejected bids etc. But for the moment, I am happy with the dealings we have had so far in this window, and I struggle to see why people are so negative about our opening 7 days of the window.

For the record I haven't seen JFC play and haven't commented on how good a signing he might be, all I have said is he is a replacement in the squad for Foley.

Not sure what is wrong with me, even the mention of Katie or Roly has me grinding my teeth, but KR's enthusiasm is infectious. I have missed my Valley fix since I stopped going in September 2015 but anger outweighed my desire to go "home" again, now though I am sorely tempted.

Signing young British players with a bit of skill etc helps, although they are only here for their resale value.

Go to the Millwall game, you know you want to.

Getting on a bit but 2nd is quality.

29 year old striker from non-league... no thanks.

Agreed but that second goal at 2.40 on the video is absolute class and his second was a special finish for that level too. Has he played league football? Surprised if someone in League 2 did not give him a contract.

Saw Tarpey play at St Albans yesterday, looked good at that level but Sam Barratt for Maidenhead looked the best player, I believe Oxford and Bristol Rovers have looked at him.

Maidenhead were cruising until they took off Tarpey and Barratt.

We went from Grigg to Non League strikers pretty fast.

Some bloke from Maidenhead, a 22 year old from Barnsley who is nowhere near good enough. Serious about a top six finish? Are they having a laugh?

Why don't we just all wait and see what happens.

Interesting he's watching a player today....wonder what game he's at

Brighton v Mk Dons would be my guess.

Wycombe vs Stourbridge would be mine - we're back to shopping at Lidl.

Like the sound of this Ryan Griggs

Someone I have heard of for a change.
