The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[Doctor Doog]

I'm officially old now we are signing a player whose grandfathers I saw play.

If we buy another CM on top of Doyle then Hodge will undoubtedly go out on loan. Hopefully to a Championship team.

Depends how broken Hodge is though unfortunately.

 

[WsWolf]

Can almost guarantee that when Nunes looks a world beater for City there will be plenty of posts raging that we should have got more for him..

Not sure how long Pep is going to put up with him miss placing 5 yard passes on a regular basis.

He won't, he's going to out for a few weeks

Is he Tony Doyle's grandson then?

This. He’ll be lucky to make the bench if his passing doesn’t improve a hundred fold

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

You know they'll have noticed this when scouting him.

He’s not gonna be the same player under Pep than he was under the master tactician, Bruno Lage.

Pep will turn him into an absolute superstar - of that, I’m sure.

We all know the talent was there - it was the application that wasn’t.

Pep fixes that in a few weeks.

CONFIRMED - James McAtee - on season-long loan

You'd expect Nicko (who has run Macca stories all summer) to jump in soon with something more substantional to take the Limelight of the FI tweet Nixon in posting low-hanging-fruit rumour "gossip" shocker.

They all say what an absolute bargain we have for £5m

It wasn't application, that's unfair. Occasionally concentration, sometimes trying to play heroball, more often than not decision making

Mike Doyle on one side and Glyn Pardoe on the other

Still took a battering from us in 74 Cup final. That said, how I'd love a Colin Bell in our midfield.

You're back!

Is it cos Gary won a couple?

Folks really love to assume that pros just fuck off for minutes at a time on the pitch.

I get it's not impossible but 9 times out of 10 I think it's what you say here, not lack of effort (certainly not so bad as player actually thinking to himself, "fuck this, not running for the next five").

I was at Woodfield Ave primary with a Pardoe. Wonder if they were related?

 

[sycophantia]

The last two pages I've seen "tore the championship up" and "one of England's best young talents"...some people are going to be very disappointed.

He's a decent player, in one of our strongest positions. £5m is about half what he'd be worth in the open market but the looks of some of the reactions here you'd think he's a star in the making, rather than our 4th choice midfielder

Tbf if he's half decent at 21in the Championship, then he could improve with age under the tutelage of Gaz and playing with better players. At worst he'll be ok back up and he's costing virtually nowt.

Phone broke, although I hear we were dross against Everton.

Don't know where you heard that from!!
Sorry about your phone...
We were stunning!
All over them, they hardly got into the game so good were we.

 

[C.L.D]

Its a good gamble for Man City too, with that huge sell on fee [for Doyle], they're betting on getting more than £10M down the line.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Just saw a flash.... Tommy Doyle will spend the rest of the season at Grasshoppers....!!
Really?
