Was Rich Cawley hinting we may go for Begovich again now Everton have released him ?
Maybe L1 was too big a step down for him.
Or Sinisalo, who hasn’t played much for Celtic?
They also still have Scott Bain as cover. Maybe they would consider loaning him.
Bain left Celtic last week and signed a one year deal with Falkirk after their promotion.
Sinisalo got a good few games in at the end of the season and did well when Schmeichel was injured. With Kaspar now 38 I think Sinisalo will get his chance soon enough.
Not the Top 20 Podcast is doing a weekly EFL transfers round up. No mention of CAFC yet but worthwhile a listen as a lot of strengthening of sides is happening so should act as a good comparator when we see our signings start to emerge.
Had hoped we would see one or two through the door before the 10th so keeping fingers crossed
We barely spent much in today’s market place last season and got promoted. I’m not complaining! The extra tv revenue will probably go on wages and I’m sure we’ll have the lowest transfer budget in the league but in Jones we trust.
There is also a significant reduction in player wage costs from January onwards. A lot of posters were complaining about a squad of 18 being relied upon to mount a challenge and succeed with a squad that small, not knocking that but we managed it nonetheless. There has been further departures, notably, Chuks, and Watson, but the wage demands from players in this division and the premier are a huge jump so I don't see us relying solely on that market.
As much as I love these discussions - I think our business will be done subtly and will surprise us like last summer. Not sure there will be many rumours going around. Wouldn't be shocked if we sign championship / premiership / foreign players rather than the league one players we've been mentioning and know of
Yes, I agree.
Now that we've won promotion despite looking like mid-table no hopers before Christmas 🤶....... no one at the club will want an instant relegation.
I expect certain positions to be significantly strengthened, to supplement the key players who earned promotion. Other 1st team starters may become squad players.
I'm and bit confused (more so than normal). Is the current transfer window for the next few days just for the premiership to sign players for the world club championship? or can any club join in?.

Any club can, the reality is it won’t make much difference

Especially seeing we can still sign players between windows but cant play them. I don’t understand that but seeing 95% of clubs in this country won’t be playing a competitive game now until august
Think that makes a lot of sense. Championship experience and competition for Gillesphey. Hopefully should settle quickly having been here before. Still at a good age too that he should be entering his prime years
I was initially against it but Sheffield Wednesday fans seem to rate him and upset at the prospect of losing him especially to little old Charlton (god I love being the underdog again) - has his injury issues though.

Interesting as many on here thought he was in decline but he may be stepping up a division.
You can barely wait for tomorrow 😜

I liked him when he was here but hasn't he had a lot of injuries?
Yeah missed a good chunk of last season with injury.
