As much as it pains me to say it Waggy is a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmoram1995 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Talking to someone connected with the club today briefly spoke about transfers apparently Warne has spoken to 8 players from 4 clubs + free agents. Originally he was looking at signing three players but has approached clowes to discuss the possibility of upto 5 coming in. No names besides a strong indication one coming in is sharp, waggy is 50:50 might sign him to booster the over age players in u23s and the first team. Positions spoken about are as follows LWB but Warne is struggling with that and might go for a LCB /LB , A 10 that looks to be a prem loan , two strikers - one older poacher type currently looking at Sharp , waggy , assombolonga and wickham the other is a young championship player and finally it appears another CM likely more of an older head. The player Warne is frustrated about was Rhodes apparently had agreed a 1 year deal with an optional extension but no showed a medical Saturday morning his agent came back saying he wanted more money plus an 18 month deal.

My source is in the media department Cheers for the update, I would agree that we could do with up to 5 more. Dont understand why Rhodes would want an 18 month contract? They usually happen in Jan, a 18 month deal now takes him to the middle of 24/25 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My source is in the media department I have heard similar, only slight difference is Rhodes apparently wanted 2 year deal and wanted more money than was originally agreed. Expect Waggy to come in as 4th/5th choice. Still plan to bring in a first choice older striker, (a la, Rhodes, sharp, Deeney etc.) but different to your info @simmoram1995 I heard no loan at striker. Ive heard loans for number 10, LWB and an ‘energetic box to box’. Re Ram@Lincoln, Ram-a-lama fa fa fa, Carnero and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trav this is indeed the case average and league 1 standard strikers are being given vastly inflated wages. E.g. Ladapo was on apparently £5k at Rotherham now at Ipswich my source believes around 14-16 more likely the former! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking around, quite a few clubs fans are bemused by their clubs lack of activity in this area. Seem's to a problem across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're having to make claims on twitter that you've still got goals in you, that's usually a pretty desperate sign 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
