    Conor Wickham pay as you play deal sounds too sensible for Cafc ?
    If  Aneke was on that deal Cafc paid Chuks for 5 minutes in the last month !
  • Apparently Mcgrandles decision to leave Lincoln was based on his wish to move back to Scotland. This was greeted with understanding with most of the Lincoln fans.
    That understanding changed to dislike of the player when he  then ended up at Charlton.

    Had a drink last night in the ground with one of the CAFC community team who had had too many sherbets. Apparently/Allegedly we have offers in for 5 players at the mo - a mix of signings and loans. The Blackburn guy is one, an ex Millwall midfielder is another, a West Ham U21 is another and Conor Wickham on a pay as you play deal is a fourth. Palarse are not looking to recall Saka, Kirk has an offer to go to a Yorkshire based 1st division club but that won’t happen until after Saturday, DJ, Lavelle and Stockley also have clubs wanting to take them. 
    Apologies If this was the beer talking but at least it counts as a rumour 😇

    Quality note taking and good to know that CAFC community team are privy to the ins and outs of this window 801912601.

    I didn't realize that Saka was a Palace player 🤔😀

    Well done @801912601
    It does help shape the squad a bit better if we recruit those, but it will be 5 out and 4 in if you include JFC with the offers for DJ, Lavelle, Stockley and Kirk.   Assume MacG will go too.   Now I don't think anybody thought our squad was top heavy (maybe 1 too many in central midfield if you really wanted to argue), but Wickham in and Stockley out is in theory better, IF it's not the injury prone Conor Wickham.    If the injury prone Wickham comes in we are left with Leaburn and Kanu.

    That isn't good.   In no shape or form.

    So, not whelmed I'm afraid.

    One is done, will be announced this week
    Always makes me laugh when someone alludes to being ITK, posts a cryptic statement and then buggers off leaving us all, like 🐟 out of water gasping for air!

    Is it for dramatic effect @covered_end_lad ?
    Hate to say it. Have you ever thought that he may be in the know.
    He may well be, I’m not questioning if he is or isn’t!

    I was referring to the teasing statement he made, @redbuttle
  • One thing. How common are ‘pay as you play’ deals?

    Any recent examples of players on one of them?

    To me they feel like they are talked about a lot, alongside player swap deals, but never seem to happen. 
  • Two weeks ago I was fearing relegation. Regardless of what happens between now and the end of the window I’m fairly certain that top six isn’t a possibility. On that basis all I’m looking for are some sensible signings to guarantee our league one status and perhaps start the foundation building for next season.

    That would be either Barnsley or the Massives.

    Or could it be Rotherham. Exchange for Ferguson?

     After a few drinks?, did you have a tape recorder or a photographic memory, that is quite a list of info to get...🤔

    Edun is done, good player.

    Hope medical done and Stephen Kelly not the driver to Sparrows lane as we have needed a Left Footed left back for two years and trust he's like Purrington but with pace ?
    very happy if this comes round .. he's what might be described as a 'cultured' left back who can also operate in midfield

    It's almost 3pm, the lads got home about 4.30am last night and aren't in today at all, perfect time for a new player announcement right?

  • I hate these cryptic, I know something you don't posts...🤷‍♂️

    Andy Carroll had to take one at Reading I think

    He was right about something over the summer but I can't remember what it was lol I guess that's why his tweets get posted here, people clinging onto cryptic clues from people who MIGHT know something.

    I think he was right about Garner's appointment.....

    "Pay as you Play" assume would be low basic salary, and then high appearance fees to make up his expected salary, provided he plays enough games.

    Don't think its like a zero hours contract.

    If today's going to be good then time is running out. More bullshit imo.

    If today is also a loan from Blackburn for a left back we've been short of since May, then it is about bloody time, NOT a good day!   Well overdue.

    Looks a decent player on paper and better than what we have.   IF it is him.

    Worried about Lucas Ness' performance tonight...some may have seen it and think they may come in for him. 
    Ness can't play for another club this season after being at Torquay as well as us.
    Are there rules which limit how many clubs a player can play for in one season? Currently, under the FIFA Transfer Regulations, a football player is only allowed to be registered with a maximum of three clubs in one season.

    in which case there's a very good chance his info is correct and goes straight to the top of the ITK Leaderboard

    Most of those sound fairly plausible signings except the Connor Wickham one. I don't doubt the fact we might have offered him a pay as you play deal, but i'd be amazed if he accepted it.

    He was on a short term deal at Forest Green and had been playing regularly and scored a few goals. They wanted to keep him but he chose to leave. You'd have to assume he had other offers lined up or why would he turn down their offer? And no player in their right mind is turning down a proper contract to sign a deal where they might get injured next week and not receive a penny.
