Summer Transfer Rumours 2012

[bangsection]

Wow. That must mean Peterlin was paying us to play.

I was told that Summerfield turned down £500 p/w basic. Which we probably then spent on Peterlin.

[bangsection]

Fleetwood Town have signed big Jon Parkin, another 1 we need to be investigating.

I know the phrase "we can't compete with Fleetwood" will send the board into meltdown but it's true. They've got a sugar daddy and were routinely paying players £3k a week in the Conference.

Quite correct Fleetwood were paying Peter Till to warm the bench more than we were paying Richard Taundry

[Slade]

We had Summerfield on loan a couple of years back .. cracking little player .. the word is it's us .. yourselves .. Bournemouth & Yeovil after him .. but I know his wages are rather on the high side .. Rotherham supposedly offered him 3k a week which he turned down ... and that will put us out of it unless Matt Spring goes .. Our mate Terrell Forbes would have been a steady signing for you .. not first choice material but a good back up .. still after Chambers & Jarvis would you have anybody else off us ?

[thickkearns]

Summerfield is son of former player Kevin Summerfield , could be true ? but Im certain he wouldnt want to move up here, I would say Yeovil are favourites to sign him myself

[latviancheese]

Cheltenham probably have a bigger budget than us. So hell probably have to take a pay cut.

He has family in the Delves.

Ive heard a vicious rumour that within the next 5 weeks we 'may' sign someone, but like I say it's only a rumour.

Is it Player X, Tone?

Not particularly Fleetwood, but christ is a worry when we seem to be struggling to compete with Cheltenham. At what point do we stop saying 'ooh we can't compete with this club, that club, no right to compete with them over there etc'. Talk about a race to the bottom.

Pull his teeth out and it'll be Marathon Man

[Sadders]

Luke Summerfield looks or sounds likely to be joining shrewsbury. Is there actually any hope of us competing with any football league team?

[nitrousdudleyoxide]

Sadders I've told everyone in here everybody at the club isn't bothered along as we stay up say on goal difference or a point, there's no real cash being touted about this year even less than last year. So the guys need to be thinking league 2 free agents or BSP players.

[leics_saddler]

What a lovely job Walsall FC manager must be:

1. Offer contracts
2. Review number of professionals left.
3. Scrape barrel or promote boys to make up numbers.
4. Make whatever astute loan signing you can using proceeds from Ian Sludge Lees evening.
5. Finish any position between 8th and 20th - well done!
6. Reduce playing budget.
7. Repeat until relegated and sacked.

[worzel999]

Or Deano could do my job and be bored rigid!! :(

[derbysaddler]

I'd like us to take a look at Shaun Miller at Crewe, still young and has had an okay scoring record in the past. Crewe I think have granted him a free transfer.

[Jolly Johnny]

Whoever we sign, we'd better get a move on before Swindon snap them up! How many teams are they entering this year!!

[saddla]

Interesting to note that on the PFA official web site there are only 3 players shown as transfer listed where the selling club obviously wants a fee and 17 pages each with 30 players on where the players are out of contract.

[gerryhatrick]

Asps has always said we needed a Sodje.

[latviancheese]

Plenty of decent players on there.

Suprised if Giles Barnes ends up anywhere better than us, good player but youd be petrified every time another player went near him, he would implode.

[WFC_Rob]

With O'Kelly now confirmed as assistant, I could see us picking up James Hayter.

[Dr David Kelly]

Harry Kewell quit Melbourne Victory today and is now looking for a club in England....still a good player but wage demands are through the roof. However will anyone have him?

Now take out those that wouldn't be seen dead at the Banks's then those that expect a living wage,and who are we left with.

[bigbadsad]

could actually see us signing lee naylor. mosley lad

[Aldridge_saddler]

Spoke to his brother... He laughed :)

[JJunior9]

Naylor won't happen - too much wages for a LB.

I can see us signing James Chambers (who can play either RB or LB) and if we re-sign Beevers, he can play RB or fill in at CB for the inevitable suspensions that will inevitably occur (based on our woeful disciplinary record under Smith's tenure).

I would like to see Hayter join because we cannot rely solely on kids for goals and he could be very much in the mould of Kevin Wilson (a small, regular goalscorer at a higher level with bags of experience to pass on). I am also more hopeful with O'Kelly coaching the forwards because he was a cracking striker in his day so knows what he's talking about.

We have been linked with numerous LBs (Thomas Cruise has been linked more than once) and with Grof and Butler, this could be the beginnings of a decent back five.

I was sad to see Tank go because he was the best player for us whenever I saw the reserves play last season; however, the money will come in useful for wages and I am genuinely optimistic about the prospect of transfer activity in the coming weeks.

One name that noone has mentioned yet (as far as I know) - look out for Yoann Arquin :wink:
