Player Suggestion Josh Windass

[Barney]

Playing for Accrington at the moment.

Really good prospect, can get it down and play but also has that physical side to him.

Rumoured to be targeted by Arsenal so I'd be putting in a bid now with the promise of immediate first team football in his contract.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Player swop - Baxter for Windass

 

[AlanWrightsShinyHead]

He'd definitely be a first teamer in League One. Probably a squad player in Championship.

If he was to move to Arsenal he'd end up being loaned out to numerous lower Championship / League One teams over the course of the next few seasons before either being released or sold for an undisclosed six figure sum to some flounderer like Wolves or Fulham.

I see his old man's been running his mouth and talking up bids from "bigger clubs". Reckon he and Diego would get along just fine.

 

[AlanWrightsShinyHead]

looks like he's off to Rangers once his contract is up in the summer

 

[carthesis]

Yep - gone to Rangers.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

That's some transfer strategy at Mordor!

But is it better than The Pigs?

Think Warburton/Weir are planning on another season in the Scottish Championship.

 

[Silent Blade]

Yep - gone to Rangers.

More likely to be pre-contract along with Matt Crooks (Matt's mum is a friend of mine)

Friend eh? I thought you'd not long since got married, tut tut tut

Ha ha. Will find the photo of me and Matt's dad in the same football team in 1983 and post it in here tonight. Matt's mum is from Leeds, went to same boarding school as me (she was 4 years below me). She married Matt's dad in the 1980s but they got divorced and then moved to live in Sheffield with a long time friend of mine (they got married about 6 years ago) and since then she is a good friend of mine and Mrs Silent. We went to her 50th birthday party last month (Matt was there too)

Bid turned down, allegedly?

[Iceybabey]

Replacement for Carruthers? Understudy to Duffy?

 

[Caveblade]

Heard from a colleague who is a big Rangers fan that we have bid £500,000 for the son of Dean!

Midfielder who spent 10 years at Huddersfield as a youth before dropping into non-league and then onto Rangers via AAccrington Stanley.

Seems surprising as Preston had a similar bid knocked back in the last week.

[TarquinDelouche]

I know they're not the best way to judge a player, but his Youtube highlight reel make him out to be a bang average player.

 

[Caveblade]

Pacy winger, right footed who needs to work on his finishing.



Sheffield United have had a £500,000 bid for Josh Windass knocked back by Rangers, according to Football Insider.

The Ibrox side had already rejected an offer from Preston for the same amount. They are believed to want as much as four times that amount if they are to sell at all.

Windass is currently on holiday in Florida where he will meet up with the rest of his Rangers team-mates ahead of featuring in the Florida Cup.

The 23-year-old attacker moved to Glasgow in 2016.

 

[Fanny magnet]

Load o shite

 

[Champagneblade]

Maybe we made this bid to make the Southend chairman shit his pants and think we were genuinely looking elsewhere.

Just the right tone.

Slightly less than Leonard bid meaning we may be attracted to better deal elsewhere. Just about the right level of player. Big enough club to ensure the bid makes the papers.

Well played!

 

[mancunianblade]

Didn't his Dad leave here on bad terms? he was very good for Accrington but then again Championship football is a different ball game all together. even if these rumours are nothing more than rumours its good to finally be linked with the right kind of players at the right kind of age, rather then 30+ has beens earning £10k pw plus

 

[Caveblade]

Load o shite

I am inclined to agree with you!

Yeah we had 500k rejected last week, but our local paper reckon that we've now ended our interest after signing Bodin from Bristol Rovers.

3 bids within the 1st week of the transfer window kind of suggests that his agent is encouraging offers.

 

[Grizzly blade]

They’re deluded if they think they will get £2m.

Miles away from championship quality. He will need a lot of work on the training ground

Dad Windass didn’t like not get picked in the 16 for the play off final. That’s stating it mildly

Hopefully a personnel issue then, Don't see why he would be angry at the club if this is the case.

 

[bertieblade]

He was not picked for disciplinary reasons
God only only knows why Rankine was picked

Me thinks someone dad is stirring things up by linking him with credible clubs, been talking to Andy Cole

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

This is just....... Josh.....Tosh

 

[Rodley]

Alan Nixon said we’ve bid.

 

[Raiderman50]

Sheffield United have seen a bid in the region of £500,000 for Josh Windass rejected by Rangers, according to Football Insider.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Not heard anything, but IF Murphy does sign.....

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Well, from what the bloke (who's a Rangers fan) who was doing the Facebook stream was saying, this sounds like a total non-starter. Three million pound-plus release clause in Windass's lengthy (4 year) contract, from what he was saying.
