Transfer Gossip

[jmjhb 112]

Definitely a Barra fan or someone off that onefootballforum.

Given we've been proactive with transfers so far and there are a plethora of players available I'm not really worried 

[Biggish Dave 534]

I really couldn't be arsed about Platt or Turnbull. I'd never heard of them a few days ago.

To be fair, I had never heard of Taft or Comley either so I will be happy to let IE go about his business quietly then piss off these 'bad luck' merchants when the time is right, after all, they all know we are considerably bigger than them

No Matt Platt for Bolton. Signed a permanent 2 year deal with Barrow . Bad luck.

Obsessed and we ain't kicked a ball .

Darcy breaking up the play?

He either plays as a No.10 or a wide forward for me.

We certainly don't want him playing behind the half way line.

I didnt mean taking the ball in our half particularly, although he isnt embarrassed in possession.  From my hazy memory of last season he breaks up play in the opponents half by pressing and by being "waspish" rather than being an out and out tackler like Spearing or Lowe.  I see him as an attacking, front foot midfielder who can drift across the pitch and up and down, but definitely not a behind the striker player, half his game would be wasted there and we have better players in those positions.

Ex Rochdale Ian Henderson snapped up by Salford. Will get plenty goals at Lge 2 level.

Darcy and white central both confident on the ball and out of position would not give the opposition a second

Sarcevic just behind Doyle....Politic wide right an other wide left

Looks like he's not good enough for us to progress at league 2 level as Evatt knows him well, bullet dodged.

[masi 51 37]

Think more Blackburn got offered a fee for him and he only had 12months of his contract left........no brainer for Rovers really.

Think it was took out of Platts hands

Thought he was a freebie tbh, fair enough if Barrow paid a fee. 

[masi 51 37]

undisclosed fee....think it was paid to stop him coming here

Where would Crawford fit in?  As much as we like to see new signings, I'm very keen to see him along with Politic and Darcy getting plenty of chances to show what they can do for us this season.

Do you buy lots of tinfoil?

[masi 51 37]

and the new lad comley.....good options to have wont be pedestrianised like in recent years

[ErnestTurnip 168]

I wouldn't be surprised if we see only bit parts at most from darcy, politic et al this season, they aren't his players, they're young and I'm not sure they would all fit in his way of playing.

That said, he gets paid 6 figures for doing the job and we're nobbers on a forum so they might get 40+ appearances each.

For my hat :lol:

Crawford, Comley and Sarcevic will be our first choice midfield and the rest backup IMO.

Aye, Darcy’s an exciting prospect but that’s all he is atm.

He’ll be lucky to start 20 games for us next season. He’ll need to beef up a bit or he’ll get smashed all over the park by 4th division defenders.

[masi 51 37]

Crawford/Sarcevic  for the 10

Think Tom White will start also

Hopefully with better players or at least players playing in a team that suits his game.

Think he'll do well, though might not be first choice initially. 

[radcliffewhite1 649]

Sarcevic looks sharp on the club’s training clips 

[Blondi 120]

White will play more games than Politic and Darcy I reckon and especially if Comley is away on international duty covid permitting of course.

[Leyther_Matt 357]

Ricardo Santos incoming from Barnet according to Twatter. 6 foot 6 defender.

I think so too.

Sarcevic, Comley and White will compete for the two central midfield positions, Crawford and Darcy will compete for the No.10 role. Possibly Politic as well.

I certainly hope not. I know it's likely we sign White at the end of his deal but still, Darcy and Politic are excellent prospects and more than good enough to do very well at this level. Politic in particular.
