So I have been told that we have cooled our interest in Solomon-Otobor after the knee issues that were highlighted in his medical, he isn't keen to sign a reduced deal and we aren't keen to offer what we initially did before the medical.
We have, however, been in deep discussions with another winger, sounds pretty close.
Be interesting to see how that one develops. Could be that once word gets around about his knee he won't be able to attract the kind of pay he'd been hoping for and might swing back around to our offer if we keep it on the table. Could be one for late on in the window if nothing else is forthcoming for him
Medical opinions can vary from club to club, one mans poison as they say, so who knows, he could still get picked up if the injury we found is not deemed so much of an issue elsewhere, however it is a sign that Thomass medical dept we have heard so much praise for, is showing potential.
If our medical team are highlighting a problem, i'd suggest he probably has one leg
Ideally it would be Charlie Kirk, would also take Owen Dale, our front 4 would be serious then
You're in luck - Morris signed for Salford a couple of weeks back. Kirk and Dale would be very very big statements as signings.
I'm sure I read somewhere that Crewe valuate Dale at 1 million + so I think that could be a non-starter. I also don't think we've been linked with him before so my money's on Kirk.

Yeah Wycombe were quoted 1m for Dale, fully expect he goes to the championship anyway. Kirk would be an excellent move.
Is dale any good never seen or heard much about him just looked and he got 12 goals in 48 apps for crewe apparently 🤷🏻♂️
These amounts being quoted for players true or not seem very excessive and no wonder gallen and TS are taking there time and not jumping the gun when clubs try to take the piss

Why is it excessive? A million quid for a player like Dale or Kirk isn't excessive is it?
If we sold, I don't know Morgan, for a million quid I suspect there would be some anger on here that "nothing had changed".
I don't know why people expect other clubs to give their players away.

I remember Owen Dale and Lowery tearing us apart at the Valley. I was impressed and only 22. Maybe we will make a cheeky bid nearer the deadline.
Joel Randall has a vast amount of potential. Really, he could be special but I can’t see them getting £1m for him. Really hope it’s him
kirk and Dale are both good players but again never going to be in the £1m bracket just yet
i guess we wait and see next week
Depends how desperate Crewe are for cash, or whether they're quite comfortable in the current climate.
Pretty desperate.
I think your right but they sold Ng and Hardwick in January. I suspect they will try and play hardball for both Dale and Kirk hoping if they get top dollar for one they can keep the other.
On the subject of Crewe has Wintle signed anywhere yet?

Personally i feel the player needs to be proven over a period of time to justify the amounts i have read about do you feel they are proven at this level or above for a club like ours looking at promotion and guarentee success for that figure...???
some are crazy amounts in the current climate with covid having ruined alot of clubs i get there trying there luck as a selling club but doubt they will ever get what they really want and i suspect some will lose for free or small sums when contracts run down they need to be realistic

Wintle joined Cardiff.
Cheers I knew it was a possibility but had t seen it confirmed.
£1 million pounds plus wages of 500k - 750k over two year contract is an awful lot for a league one club to stump up. I just can’t see it’s viable. If Crewe are genuinely wanting £1million then it’s only championship clubs in the running. Personally I think they’d take £500k once the interest wains.

In my best Mr Burns impression, excellent.
Would be fantastic and put us firmly in the favourite slot for HMS Piss the league.
Front 4 of Kirk, Dale, DJ and Stockley is filth for league 1.
I hate positive posts on here. Don’t you realise that despite possibly not being interested in any of wkye, pigott, frazer and cousins that we have missed out on the best players in league 1 already?

I think the gap between the top league 1 teams and championship teams has shrunk this year. As previously stated lots of clubs are on the brink of bankruptcy. No player bought for more than 2million in the championship is very low and majority are frees. I’d be very surprised to see us make a permanent signing that costs us a fee and could see a lot of free transfers happening towards the end of the window when clubs have to offload top earners.

I notice Dozzell, who has just signed for QPR is "worse" than JFC.

Waggy or Green
He will give us more pace than Watson
