Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2023/24

Is he ?

By all accounts, he is. Just left some MLS side. I was surprised to read he's only 30.

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

At least it not one for the future

 

[JJH]

Bailry Wright from PNE and ex Toon defender Steven Taylor is on trial.

Where'd you read the latter? Haven't heard that and wouldn't be impressed.

On OTIB bud. He played in some kind of friendly game or something.

Welp. Preparing for League One!

Taylor is a solid defender excluding his injuries. If he can ever get back to his prime he would be an excellent signing for anyone in this division or the Prem.

Don't let facts get in the way of Jordan being a negative bastard mate

 

[JJH]

Not being funny Tom but he's just had his contract terminated at an MLS side and has had his career badly disrupted by injury in recent years.

Why take another gamble on him like we did on Ekstrand? Look how that one has turned out. There's no need, just go and buy a proper set of full backs.

 

[MagpieBee]

I think saying "preparing for league 1" is a bit harsh? With all the salary cap stuff over there it might not be because he played badly?

He was brilliant for Newcastle for many many seasons. Injuries definitely caught up with him but he'd been called up to England squads in the past, though he never made it on to the pitch.

He'd be an automatic starter for you for sure.

 

[JJH]

Portland Timbers fans described him as "shaky". He's clearly not as good as he once may have been hence I don't want him here as he's not going to get any better.

 

[Techno Natch]

Even if he's not as good as he once was that might still mean he's better than Flint who you seem totally blinded by. Experienced head in to help the team it could be worth a look.

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

Personally the club messed up this summer letting Williams go.

Solid pro and a lot better then what was bought for a lot more money

He'd play at full back anyway, nothing to do with Flint. If one centre back would be dropped it'd be Magnusson and he wouldn't be dropped for a 30 year old.

Flint is not this great defender people make out, he is at fault for a lot of the goals conceded

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Appears we've signed Callum McManaman.

That, very much a flat track bully, he reminds me of Reda Johnson without the vitamin deficiency

 

[Craig]

Fuck January.

They should of sold when they had the chance will go the way of Fontaine imo

Didn't you say the Blackburn game a couple of months back was your first game in 5 years? Who are you to judge Flint's performances? He was absolutely outstanding yesterday, lost count the amount of times he was left to clear up everyone's mess.

He just isn't that at all, he's our most consistent performer by a mile and has barely put a foot wrong since the Derby game.

McManaman is a quality signing, about fucking time you signed a winger with some pace.

 

[Nuttall]

Pleased with the signing of mcmananan, just the type of player we need

Nothing against Flint personally at all merely pointing out that J is writing someone off who he's not seen for ages and his instant reaction is a negative one as always. It's always extremes with him.

No offence J.

 

[JJH]

I was obviously being flippant but I would be underwhelmed if we signed him.

 

[HarvSFC]

Taylor is shit to be fair. Although he puts his body on the line a few times, which gets caught on the highlight reels and people think he's good.

You don't go to retire to the MLS and then get released a few months later if you're good. Even Liam Ridgewell's formed a career out there (For the Timbers funnily enough).

Check out this para from Taylor's wiki:

"On 6 August, Taylor turned out for their reserve side against LA Galaxy II, but scored an own goal and substituted at half-time, in what would be an eventual 4–3 win for T2."

Villa turned down £25m for Amavi...

As we should. Great player, Liverpool (I assume, can't see Marseille bidding that much) can shove their money up their arses. We don't need it.

Chinese club surely..

Got to be their owner talking out of his arse again... he's not worth anywhere near that

Or one of them.

Show me one time he's lied since he's taken over.

 

[JJH]

Show me one time he's lied since he's taken over.

He said they were after a world class striker and they went and signed Jonathan Kodjia.
