STFC Transfer Rumours

[Peter Venkman]

Difficult to accept lower wages when you’ve just been promoted, though. Quite reasonable to expect a rise.

I’d expect any club interested in signing either or both of them want them to make up their mind pretty quickly, too.

True but plenty of players in this window won promotion and werent even offered new contracts due to Covid and salary restriction.

[Peter Venkman]

Arguably our 3 best players last season all signed after the season started in Doyle, Grant and Benda. Isgrove and Lyden only rocked up a couple of weeks before the season started after being unattached.  There's no point setting deadlines, instead just get the best players you can prior to the transfer window closing. If Wellens thinks that is Isgrove and Woolery then he can chase them as long as he likes IMO like he would any other player.

That is true but last season the squad size and budget limitations were not so strict as they are now.

If Wellens is indeed struggling with the budget then he is not going to want to keep a portion of it available "just in case" both come when there is a high likelyhood that they wont come back leaving us with more of a scramble to fill the 2 squad places far later in the window.

Just my opinion though, not Wellens which we can only guess at.

Wellens spent all last season saying we had no money, I would take his budget comments with a pinch of salt. He'll have a list of targets I'd imagine and will be putting the same amount of effort into each target I'm sure.  I'm happy to trust his judgement and let him stay in negotiations with them until a time that decides enough is enough.

Wellens did say in an early off-season interview  that the Woolery deal in particular was structured so that this year was lower but the second year was better. Obviously that is half remembered but if someone wants to dig out the clip, I don’t think it is too far off.

[Panda Paws]

If that were the case then I would not give a flying one.

But I doubt it is true as there's only limited budget and places available. And how long will other targets be willing to wait for our own(ish) players to make up their minds?

It's all speculation really as none of us know what is happening. But both may be playing a game that they could easily end up losing.

RW has literally said we're not waiting for them and will continue to look for options while they deliberate, which could mean they miss out.

Is this Woolery burning them off?

Now they are both out of the CL I assume Woolery is out in Madrid finalising his move?

Is this a Tansmedia scoop?

[tans]

Nah some twitter account.

Not what we need in lge 1 anyway

[Flashheart]

I'm tepid on the idea.

Freddie Woodman close to signing for Swansea, hopefully help with things on the Benda front.
