Summer Transfer Rumours - Deadline Day p446

How do we know that the Cheltenham press aren’t helping Cheltenham out by trying to attract a bidding war with derby or others? Saying we’ve agreed a deal when we actually haven’t. 

or could all be agent talk...

Do we know that Holden & co actually want May?

Cawley reported that we’ve made an offer, I’m sure he’s validated that his end rather than just repeated what the Cheltenham press have said. He’s often denied we’re interested in players when asked, the Orient keeper being a recent example.

Quite often in a 352 teams have one defensive wing back and one more attacking.  So it wouldn’t be unusual to have say Sessegnon right and CBT left of the 5.

352/433

This would surprise me. Feels like from all the comments from City that they're moving on from Ortega and Steffen and that Trafford is seen as the next big thing there.

Potential target for L1 clubs? (and Wrexham)

Would be a fantastic signing but it's Oxford

Funny thing is if we had signed him you can guarantee all Charlton fans would say

"Typical Charlton only signing players from National League and League 2"

Now its not Charlton you will get 

"Typical Charlton missed out on a superstar"

Truth is he has done fantastic at non league level but we don't know how he will adapt to league 1

And as people keep saying if we want to push for top 6 (I know its a dream but we can all dream) we need to bring players in who we know can play in this league and not punt on players who may be good but may fail

Did he though or did he just report that the local Cheltenham rag said that we had ?

I've not seen or heard any confirmation that we've even put a bid in for May let alone have had one agreed. 

Same as usual on here - chinese whispers & people miss reading what had been posted.

"A bid has been made for Cheltenham Town’s prolific attacker Alfie May, who turns 30 next month."

So he's reported a bid, not speculation thereof.

Heard Luke Amos to us after he was released by QPR.

Source was drunk by the side of a swimming pool in Crete.

Now that’s a proper rumours thread rumour.

He’s a central midfielder, definitely an area we need to strengthen.

He ticks has a record of injuries box sadly.

Archie Collins from Exeter would be a useful addition.  Not the biggest but pretty tigerish and a decent range of passing.  He made 45 appearances and , at only 23, is young enough to keep improving.
He's out of contract so presumably on a number of club's radars but worth a look

Steffen is going but they've apparently offered Ortega a new deal.

In any case Ederson is only 29 so i doubt he's going anywhere yet, so it makes sense for City to sell Trafford, quite likely put a buy back clause in the deal and then see how he gets on. They did the same with Bazunu at Southampton.
