Transfer Gossip

[Eavesy]

He’s had about a handful good 20 minute spells in a year and a half. 

He might be physically big but he barely ever dominates defenders and I’ve never seen him win a flick on or cushion a ball down to another player

If we are going long in the last 10 he’s the last thing we need to be booting it to. Better off sticking a centre back up there.

Snatch hands off for a million or anywhere close to that if it balances the books.

Revert back to 3 in midfield and 2 up top.

Charles, Collins and McAtee to cover the 3 with CMG back in a few months. 
 

4 players for 2 is more than enough. 
 

Can get a loan in in January if we get a few injuries.

Didn’t we pay around 1m for mcatee?
Levels above vic.. can’t believe we haven’t accepted it unless with add ons it totals 1m.

What if Charles and one of the others gets injured like last season?

We can just change formation. We had loads of injuries last season, probably won't have any this year.

£1m is good money for him, but I am convinced he might still come good. 

[Roger_Dubuis]

Vic and Charles aren't good enough to get Bolton out of the 3rd Division.Raise whatever money possible from their sales.That's my opinion

[noxid]

Is Vic supposed to be a goalscorer or merely a forward type player? If the former how many goals has he scored in the last 12 months and apply simple maths to work the cost goal if we sell for 1mill. Therefore IMO time to cash in.

Always wary of ITK accounts with only a dozen followers, but one is suggesting we're in talks with Spurs over Alfie Devine on loan

Sure we've been linked with him every window since he was born

Aye our manager is well know for adapting and changing systems to suit missing personnel.

Especially when players tire during games

This is where I’m at. If he’s not the long term answer and we have short term options until January, I’d let him go.

We’ve already got people saying we can’t fit McAtee, Collins and Charles into the line up. When Lolos and CMG are back, the problem is intensified. If we have a major injury issue, there is still Dan (who I believe is also due to come good soon… 🙃)

I'm saying £1m is useless to us now and having Vic till at least Jan is worth every penny.

Unless there's another coming the door in the space of a few hours.

There's also free agents that don't have to sign today.

Speaking of which, Dwight Gayle is available still.

Depends on how you value a player I guess 

McAtee has one season in L1 under his belt 

Vic has five and 2 in the championship

And we were absolutely flying with him and Charles up top last season.

Toney off to Saudi ! Chop your hands off for gambling over there.

Since 2020/21 season

He scored 5 goals in 60 champ games..

25 goals in 85 league one appearances.

Can’t assist or hold the ball up.

If we go up we’d want to move him on anyway. For me find a decent prem loan easier said than done i know. Or like someone said Gayle is a free agent and proven scorer for a season.

£300k+ a week will comfort his lack of England caps in the future

He holds the ball up fine

[Ani]

Always a surprising stat when people say we need a better goal scorer than Dion.

To be fair he does, he's improved no end this season

He's the best partner for Dion too.

Was watching him last season Could tell he was learning how to shield ball and hold it up from/like CJ. He started backing in and position himself in nearly an identical way.

[only1swanny]

If a team the league above value him at 1m, and that's based on detailed analysis from scouts, I daresay there's probably more understanding than you're average fan. 

More to the point Evatt feels it's not enough which means Evatt values him higher than Mcatee.. (if I'm right in thinking we payed 1m for him).

I guess they'd have to offer more than we value him at 

He's part of our plan, the plan is promotion  

Losing him weakens us, would need a ready made replacement of equal of better standard 

On deadline day 

I'm happy for him to stay
