Latest Rumours Transfer Rumours Thread (Potential New Signings)

[O's fan]

Agree with the above that Pope would be a great signing.
Jordan Maguire-Drew has just been released by Leyton Orient, would be a great pickup for us imo

I'm really sorry we released JMD, has the potential to become another Cadette or Otto.

Wow, some of these suggestions are clear that its been forgotten we're now non-league. Freddie Sears? Ben Reeves? lol. Even if they are prepared to drop to non-league, it wont be with us when there are at least 10 clubs richer than us, better run and more likely to be in the running for promotion in 2022.

We'll be going all out for promotion whilst we still have the parachute money.

Basically if you don't get out first season it gets a lot harder.

So we'll probably be operating on a bigger budget than many L2 clubs who'll still be operating under the wage cap. Plus we'll be a draw as we'll offer the opportunity to play in front of big crowds.

Absolutely agree with your above YB. While we have the parachute payment and PBs priority of a competitive budget, it has to be full steam ahead for a big bash at getting back in the first year.

No transfer window to contend with either, so if a player isn't working, big pressure on him as he can be outed. Especially if we offer shorter contracts, or depreciating contracts should we miss out on promotion, but bonus based if it is achieved.

I thought the L2 wage cap was abandoned mid season? Could be wrong though.

Ah, Phil Brown in charge of a large budget. What could possibly go wrong? It's like 2017 all over again.

Is this for real Jesus need a clear out and a new ceo first

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

Wasn't Phil a big fan of Josh Wright!!!!!!!!!!!
Please no, even in the NL

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Understand Phil watching Solihull's game tonight against Weymouth wonder who he has got an eye on

Ball, Hudlin and McCarthy I would guess.

Ball, Hudlin and McCarthy I would guess.

Hudlin certainly has made an impression. Liked the look of Donovan Wilson playing for Sutton tonight, but the likelihood is his move there from Bath will be made permanent - he'll want to play in the EFL.

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Hudlin certainly has made an impression.

Yep I've been talking him up as a possible for us all season, not sure how expensive he would be and now he's had more of a run I'd worry a FL team might beat us to him.

Otto was worth the price of a ticket alone, what a talent....

Good shout there, would definitely take him.

He wouldn't come cheap. Solihull don't need the money.

 

[Callum]

These are the sort of players we should be targeting not ex premier league players on there last legs young hungry players

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Joe Tomlinson from Eastleigh? Young two-footed full back who likes to get forward and with a mature head on his shoulders.

 

[Shrimper]

Are there any players in NL Brown has managed before?

 

[IloveShrimp]

PB will keep the ox I reckon.

Not a chance Oxley is on top wages with us and will be one of those shown the door to enable funds to be channelled elsewhere ie UPFRONT!

Two of my favourite ever players. If he’s 10% as good he needs snapping up.

 

[rigsby]

Looking to take gambles on the next Goodship is something we are unlikely to see under PB. Its not his style and we don't have financial time as a club. The forwards will be experienced target men with at least one of them capable of winning headers.

As for our current lot, some may chose to move on or up but rather than mass clear outs some lads will obviously be kept. Then add some experienced EFL, good work ethic, and lads who ended up overlooked from our academy. Finally couple of young loanees will be the way forward.

I really don't see it as the total rebuild some on here want. If we won our appeal/court case and stayed in L2. Then just 2 or 3 forwards would make us top half/capable of play-offs. I have watched plenty of poor down the bottom L2 teams over the years. Most of them looked like they were only ever going to lose. We looked like a team that could never win. There is a big difference.

 

[Bratislava Blue]

What about Sam Ling. Released from Leyton Orient and has links to the club. He maybe proud to pull on the same shirt as his dad...
