Alan Nixon: "Top Liverpool starlet Cameron Branagan will Ben allowed out on loan in Jan.

Bolton lead the race for the 20 year old midfielder"

Edited December 11, 20169 yr by Ratwhite

Didn't even realise now when are in league one that our transfer deadline shuts on the 2nd September, thought we had about 2-3 weeks left then that's it, there's still hope! 😂

Theres plenty of time to get a squad together for the season as a whole. It's whether we have enough players registered to satisfy the EFL that we can play at Wycombe. If we play that game, using at least some senior professionals that have been paid, I'll be happy for the foreseeable. I don't care if we lose 5-0, we'll be up and running.

We'll be under a 23 squad registration limit as per terms of embargo. And the issue will be that to play our younger lads they will need to be registered and therefore fill squad places...so not sure how we'll approach it. Suspect we might break the record for number of signings in a day...

Like I mentioned a while back Portsmouth were given permission to draft emergency loans in think it was 12 on 1 month deals.

i suspect loans have been identified and are ready to go once we get the green light, they will see us through Wycombe and then free signings will start.

Not sure 1 month loans work in our situation. Cannot see the EFL allowing that at all. But we'll see. So long as we have some sort of a team turn out - that will be ok.

It was discretion of the football league, I’m fairly sure we will get something similar, but yes so long as we can start against Wycombe

Cousins is lining up players. We are in "sign whoever is left and cheap" mode. That's all. Whoever is manager is going to be left with what they get given.

Expect players out on strike next week

Dennis Politic - another hope for the future apparently being nicked. Won't even make the bench at Norwich but would be useful to us in L1.

I feel abused.

Aye, whether or not they make it is another thing but our academy lads seem to get decent moves or attract attention from decent clubs

I'm not sure home grown kids take up squad places?

During 2016/2017, we were restricted to registering 24 “Established Players”. An established player, I seem to remember, was defined as a player who had at least one senior appearance to his name.

Obviously it's extremely likely, but it's not actually guaranteed that we'll be under a transfer embargo upon leaving administration.

They do for the embargo rules. Or at least they did last time. That’s why there was the issue where Parky wanted to play a couple of younger ones but couldn’t.

Wasnt that because our squad was full by then??

Yes, but if they didn't count in the number restrictions then that wouldn't have mattered.....

They do if they are given pro contracts which was a real possibility for Politic seeing as we've nobody else.

That's fine by me, as long as we have a club to support - I think it's pretty much a given we'll be going down anyway, so I'd rather we just get through the season, and then pretty much start from scratch at the end of next season and start building again. if we have to play our kids, then so be it, it'll be a baptism of fire for them, but we might uncover a gem or two, that ordinarily would never get near the first team, that we can sell.

 

If we do have to play with kids and flids, then hopefully the fans will realise the reasoning, and stick with it

i hear hall is off

but, if we keep the rest and add players decent at this level, id say theres no chance we go down

so long as we start the season

Listening to radio 5 briefly, Kevin Nolan, discussing Andy Carol who is available on a free.

Way out of our league obviously, but it shows there are players out there who might be half decent.

Andy Caroll another one who career was ruined by injury. Absolutely unplayable on form. Shame he's made of balsa wood.

Crazy when if the sale had gone through in jan/feb they could of had a championship club!

Pretty much agree with you though.
