Summer 2018 transfer rumours

Dawkins has got two years left on his Bury contract. Can anyone see an injury prone player giving up that security at his age to come to our uncertain situation?Sage said:So by the looks of things, if Dawkins can prove his fitness to Bowyer, he is someone we are likely to sign. If Pratley chooses to come to us, he is someone we would like to bring in, and we could be working on a deal for Cullen on loan, which would be the two centre midfielders that Bowyer has been speaking about.
That leaves a back up keeper behind Phillips, a left back to support and give competition to Page, and a right sided centre back.
All without losing anyone.
This takeover needs to go through very, very soon because ultimately, we need to sign at least another 6 players without us losing anyone at all.0 -
That makes two Thomas Driesen scouting reports!smudge7946 said:I would be a good premier league CB if it wasn't for my defensive inconsistencies.

I think you're getting Dawkins and Dawson mixed up3

I echo this. Two decent players with higher level experience. Add Pratley to that and for out of contract players, that is not too bad at all.I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:Dawkins and Ward would be decent signings

Just building a bog standard mid to lower league one squad at best - but until the takeover goes through that’s exactly what we areSage said:

Well, he's not a secret agent anymore, now that everybody knows he's going to play.Covered End said:Ward is a free agent.

Elliott Ward
33 year old
13 clubs including 9 loan spells
Hasnt played over 25 league games in last 5 seasons0 -
The sort of signing we’ll make if the takeover doesn’t go through, or it goes through so late we’re desperate.
Didn’t realise he was on loan with MK Dons last season. Not good enough for Blackburn, a club promoted automatically.0 -
I seem to remember us being linked with Ward many times before. His brother Darren had a loan spell with us.
Ward played with Bowyer at West Ham.
Decent signing at this level if he stays fit3 - Sponsored links:

Elliot Ward is a legend at Plymouth Argyle - thanks to his turning their season round .... erm 10 years ago, while on loan from West Ham.

Vetokele apparently wants to stay.
Bowyer on central midfield:
“Do we need to strengthen in certain areas? For sure. We need to strengthen in midfield. We need to bring in a horrible midfielder, to win the ball and give it to ones who can play.
“We’re waiting on an answer [from one]. They asked for 48 hours, we gave them 48 hours and they’ve said can we stretch it another 48 – and that changed yesterday.
“We’ll know by Monday if that fella is coming in.”

Assuming it’s Pratley0

I’m assuming it is Pratley.
But whoever it is, if you keep asking for an extension, that says to me you’re looking for other options first. It could of course be about personal things like housing etc, but footballing wise that suggests you would prefer another option.0 -

If its the player asking for 48 hours more,then another 48 hours, then he doesnt want to be here and is waiting for a better offer0 -

They were bloody horrible Midfielders to watch11 -
Are either Cullen or Pratley the “horrible” player Bowyer wants ?0

Pratley is, Cullen is a more JFC type.ShootersHillGuru said:Are either Cullen or Pratley the “horrible” player Bowyer wants ?

Damn if only Fellaini hadn't been offered a new contract by united.0

I'd have said Pratley was more JFC unless he has changed his game.Covered_End_Lad said:

Cullen played for West Ham today0
-
Googling Pratley he’s known for his work rate. Not clear if he’s a ball winning type though.0
-
Pratley could be a useful signing0
-
We're more likely to sign some Pratt called lee2
-
Both Dawkins and Ward appeared pretty mobile during their 45 minutes today. Both looked worth signing.1

Just like Reeves. Bin him. I understand you may have options & need to make up your mind but there comes a time when you have to decide to shit or get off the potpaulie8290 said:

Let’s be totally fair to him, it could be that he doesn’t know whether to move his family to London for the last hurrah in a long career. He’s been at Bolton a long while.1
