Summer 2010 - official transfer rumours thread

[thickkearns]

why all the fuss?? until he knows who's staying how can he sign anyone? there's loads of players available don't see any great signings getting missed, Sheff wed have signed a lot of ex championship players, but they will they are a club with a bigger budget than us !!
Darren Carter still free ??

[ram27]

With regard to Tadhg Purcell (ex Darlington) - see previously locked subject - I asked a mate of mine who knows a lot about Shamrock Rovers. He said:

"Tadhg pronounced Tieg is traditional name often anglified to Tim (yuck!).

Purcell is an ex rovers favourite very popular with fans nickname Tadger. Great attitude good skills not a great scorer for us but better, much better at scoring for Darlo.

Purcell is worth a look anytime much recommended"

From his picture on wikipedia, he seems like he is in the Mooney, Jabo, Parkin 'big man' role that we haven't currently got. While I would like to see Grigg given a chance, along with Nicholls, Byfield and Deeney (if he stays), I can't see the harm in giving 'Tadger' a trial. I shall await witty innuendos... :roll:

[thickkearns]

Keogh DC only 23, refused new contract at Carlisle, mate of Byfield's ex Bristol City together.. if Hughes doesn't sign would be a good signing

[SWS1]

i heard we were looking to sign messi and ronaldo on a season long loan. sounds nice :lol: :lol: :lol: . id rather just stick with the team weve got to be honest

Not quite. It was Messy (Levant Juniors Nudist team) and Ronald MacDonald (the statue outside the place in Digbeth).
Get your facts right!
:mrgreen:

[Lukeyboy]

We did have Ronaldo Ricketts!

[jnb09]

on e+s transfer rumours it says stevanage want jonah :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[matt-thesaddler]

Hows that so funny? It was in there local papers that they have made an enquiry into his signing.

Who would you bring in to replace Jones jnb09? Messi, Ronaldo, Nani?

I don't care where he is now ... I want Mr Sunshine back!!

[matt-thesaddler]

:lol: :lol: he seemed taller when he played for Tranmere

[Lukeyboy]

Adam Barrett anyone should Hughes not sign? Would be a good signing in my opinion.

[matt-thesaddler]

Good call, plenty of experience at the back

[Macca]

Im bored and had a look on Football Rumours:

Walsall News
–––––––––––––

Ins
––––
Adam Barrett – Free = Great signing he would be, with the news Hughes is off to Oz.
Franck Moussa – Free = Brilliant signing, bit of creativty in the middle.
Osei Sankofa – Free = Another good signing
Romain Vincelot – Undisclosed = We won't pay no money, so thats a won't happen!
Tresor Kandol – Loan = No thanks, bad attitude!

Outs
–––––
Troy Deeney – £100k – Sheff Wed = £100k :lol: :lol: :lol:

[ram27]

Hutchings has gone on record as saying that he has had a goalkeeper offer rejected already.

Here's some speculation based on absolutely nothing (after watching the Ghana game last night):

Richard Kingson is 4th choice at Wigan (behind another international GK, Pollitt and Kirkland); he previously lived in Birmingham (although he rarely got a game while Bruce was manager there). O'Connor has obvious Blues links and Hutchings can obviously pick up the phone to Dave Whelan and ask for a 'favour'. Maybe Bruce will try and sign him again for Sunderland, but we could definitely offer him 1st team football.

Walsall definitely need an experienced goalkeeper; like Clayton Ince, Kingson seems like a GK who needs the 'arm around him' approach to get the best out of him and build up his confidence.

After Paston's exploits, it would be a decent 'draw' to have another World Cup player (cue a ton of Ghanian trialists!) at Walsall.

Realistically, this might explain why Rene feels the need not to sign a contract; either Kingson or Andy Marshall (still at Villa?) would be 'safer' options (or at least additional options) IMHO.

[latviancheese]

Are you for real?

Richard Kingson :lol:

[Lukeyboy]

As I said Adam Barrett is available and with the news regarding Hughes I think this would be a good signing.

[thickkearns]

Are you for real?

Richard Kingson :lol:

no way will he join us !!!

[thickkearns]

Keogh DC only 23, refused new contract at Carlisle, mate of Byfield's ex Bristol City together.. if Hughes doesn't sign would be a good signing

sadly signed for Coventry today ..!!

[Mal]

With Hughes gone what about bringing back Pablo Mills who has been released by Rotherham as backup, played well for us when on loan from Derby few years back

[Mal]

Oh and any news/rumours on the Grey and Gilmartin front?

[philthesaddler]

Oh and any news/rumours on the Grey and Gilmartin front?

No, and therefore, if our "deadline" is to be believed they've both left the club.

No thanks, run of the mill league 2.

Prutton maybe the leader we need?

[Jolly Johnny]

Prutton maybe the leader we need?

I think he'd be a good signing but don't think he'd come to us. Probably got better offers and doubt he'd be as cheap as we'd be looking to get wage-wise.

Think he'd need reassurances of a genuine promotion push too.

Please note: That comment is in no way a dig at the club.

If you look at that list, we're the equal highest player turnover in the league - we've lost 13 players (if you include Gilmartin and Gray), but only signed 1. Only Bristol Rovers can match that, theyve signed 3 but released 17 (although two of those were loan returns).
