Signing updates

[ThroughThinAndThinner]

Imagine - a manager who has a transfer plan, has patience, no panic, and efficient.

And whose transfer plan is to sign the best talent from this division. It really is quite bizarre and, dare I say it, positive.

I mean, we do genuinely seem to have a manager who is finally doing what we've all wanted and said should be done for years. It's an unknown feeling to be quite honest.

Club can't do right for doing wrong. If it's a free transfer then we should've spent money, if we pay a fee then we're selling someone. It really is amazing.

And even if the two mentioned above do get sold out squad is shaping up to be better than last seasons

You have to bear in mind Che has been elevated from a brain dead big time Charlie with the first touch of a block of concrete to a potential superstar overnight.

[Sean Thornton]

Why oh why didn't he buy them sooner, then I wouldn't have had to post on a daily basis that we wouldn't sign ANYONE just like IN THE PAST, making myself look a dick.

Wasn't Fleck the cause of the original fax machine malfunction a few years back?

They've got unitl 31/8/16 to fix it or nip across St Mary's Way to Staples and get a new one.

I'm told Fleck is in to finalise -nothing major. O'Connell done deal

 

[Houston_Blade]

Good signings if true

You've been told, or you read the above Twitter exchange?!

If I said I've been told, then that's what I mean, I ain't read this entire thread

I was only giving him a tickle. All the right people are saying the same thing, should be a formality now. But this is SUFC...

 

[Grizzly blade]

Would hope that this OConnell lad, along with Wilson and hopefully McFadz will mean no deal for killa.

Not keen on a return for him, think he will be an expensive option with no future value or scope to improve with the club.

Add Semple and we would be well covered there finally!

But....anyone else think that O'Connell is instead of McFadz??

 

[JOEYDEE]

Jack O'Connell,
Young 22 year old, 6'3'' tall,and ex England U19 Captain !
Whats not to like !
Not used to these sort of signings...

Sounds like o'connell needs some pace alongside him. Wouldn't rule out McFadzean but certainly will be on our terms or not at all

McCabe sticking his hand in his pocket again. Fair play to him.

Exciting season ahead! UTB

That's Pommpey staying off the board this weekend then

 

[S5Blade]

Substantial fee = Bye Bye Adams and DCL

Wouldnt care. If we got rid of them two to fund 6/7 new in areas we actually need its good business sense

No offence taken mate. Just ittirating when people, not yourself imply your a "liar" or rehashing a Twitter story etc. Last year when morons were saying we were having a pink away kit and I told em the colour scheme and design, even when it turned out I was correct I was still a liar!

Not a chance. We've still got the Desso.....

Wilder or Knill (Can't remember who said this) said that if we can't agree a fee with mk dons for him b end of the week, we are moving on

Is McCabe still breathing?

 

[Balham]

Couldnt help myself; View attachment 18349

Kinell lad, you should charge maxstertheblade an admission fee for that lesson in how to get info out of hacks.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Wilder or Knill (Can't remember who said this) said that if we can't agree a fee with mk dons for him b end of the week, we are moving on

And today is Friday...end of the working week.

Hopefully we are playing a blinder here. And by that I mean that we sign O'Connell for a fee....looking to MK like we have got another player instead.
The kicker being....that we were always going to sign him and want both. So give it a few weeks, when Kyle has fallen further out with the smarmy scouser, MK have a player they won't play and now want to sell......price to come down when the player is refusing to go anywhere else but us?

So by end ofAugust MK have no option but to cave in and accept our now lower offer because "we have less money having paid for O Connell"

That would be playing hard ball!

 

[JOEYDEE]

Has Fleck now signed,or is someone jumping the gun ?
Or is it the club ??

Perhaps if we had confidence in the Board, the manager and the players this would happen ......

Lets wait and see how we line up at Bolton before we get moist in the panties region ......

Well ....... its the Club spending some of the Murphy transfer fee from last year .......

But I agree ..... the players in so far have been a substantial improvement on the last few we've had in, other than Sharp.

If these two do happen, then we just need GK, CH, CM, CF, and a wide midfield / winger to start to look as if we may be competitive for the first time since a certain striker went on holiday, curtesy of HMP !!

I know, right! How come you never get 100% of the fanbase saying exactly the same thing? Crazy!

Let's all slag the fans off for having concerns that couldn't possibly be more well founded!

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Is Fleck a central midfielder? his scoring record is around 1 in 20, is he primarily a defensive midfielder?
