bolton va va Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If Thomason goes, with MJ & Lee already gone & only Maghola recruited, we'd certainly need to bring at least one in. Sheehan was injured long term last season & Dempsey won't be able to keep up the same workrate twice a week, 4 midfielders ( & IE doesn't seem keen on any of the B team ) won't be enough, especally with the work we expect them to do. I'd prefer Thomason to stay unless he wants to go, in which case we'd need to move fast on a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep him for me..... Likewise. Not a world beater, but getting better and better. If championship managers are warming to him, then keep him for me, as it's where we are aiming to be next season ourselves. Of course, if the clubs are happy, and the player fancies the challenge, then the situation changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 It's obviously a massive decision for GT as well as the club. Are Bristol C offering a long contract on appreciably better wages than he's getting from us? Does he want to uproot and move to the west country? Does he think he will get plenty of first team football? From the club's perspective the key factor seems to be how much of the £1m fee we get up front.

He didn't play for Carlisle yesterday due to "illness" I reckon it'd mean we'd have to reinvest most if not all of the Thomason money (assuming we ain't getting the full £1m up front).

Mannyroader Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Bristol City and Coventry City both eyeing up Barnsley's £2M rated Callum Styles; Bristol as a replacement for Scott, Coventry as a replacement for Gustavo Hamer who has gone to Sheff Utd for £15M.

I've been wondering if they were going to surprise us with a marquee signing this window, or stash it until the right deal comes along, maybe January, and see where we are then. But add in the money from selling George and we could be competing for Championship standard players perhaps from abroad. We'd need money to buy Ashworth if he works out and maybe Maghoma's of interest? My inclination would be that unless there is a deal that is too good to turn down we should go with what we've got - even if George leaves - and see where we're at in January. Obviously it's another world financially if we get promoted but as things stand we're in a very good position with a good versatile squad, money to spend if needed and a decent bargaining position as we're don't need to be in a rush to spend it - and it's been a while since that's been the case. We're in a good place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpool had a £250k bid rejected in June. Neither they, nor anyone else has been in since. He may have had a great season just gone but his pedigree isn't much. Carlisle born he broke into Queen of the South (6 games) & then 5 seasons, 115 games for Annan. Joined Carlisle last year. He has one year left on that contract. Now, he may be God's gift but I don't see him fetching more than George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted August 14, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2023 Nothing like Thomason but if we have a few quid if he goes, I'd see if Burnley will let Twine out assuming he's fit - loan with a view to permanent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 https://t.co/P5cTe23HHq I reckon he’s defo off. Met our valuation of him. So good deal for the club for a player we picked up for nowt. A chance for GT to play in the championship and probably up his wages significantly. It’ll be what he dreamed of at Longridge. I think he will be reluctant as he has a good relationship with the club and manager in particular but the pros will probably outweigh the cons for him Happy for him if he does go, and gives us a bit more money in the bank which could come in useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUREADY2ROLL Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 If he goes we shouldn’t spend the money until Xmas when it is clear what we need. The present squad without GT is still good enough to win this league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
