STFC Transfer Rumours

[horlock07]

I think for Salford things would have been very different if FC United of Manchester had never been set up, they could have mopped up the disgruntled Man Ure fans but someone got there first.

Cos we’re using Grigg as a smokescreen to get Doyle back!

Simples!

I think there are a few irons in the Wellens fire.

Doyle, Pitman, Mcnulty (unlikely), Hylton, Bennett and Grigg have all been mooted and I'm sure there are others that haven't been leaked in the press that Wellens is looking to get.

The longer that we go through January, the more likely we are to be able to do a deal with Bradford as they either get a fee from us for Doyle, or they lose him for nothing in the summer and have to pay his wages until then. Power will be playing hardball and so we are likely going to have to wait until the window slams shut before that transfer happens. Possibly similarly with Bennett as I know Wellens is a fan.

If we do sign Doyle I also think we'll get a younger striker on loan as backup. Unless RW is going to start utilising Twine more?

The problem is we can't afford Doyle or Bennett's wages. Or a small percentage of Griggs by the sound of it. It's all well and good us paying small fees for them but they're not gonna want to take huge drops in their salary considering they both have young families to support.

Broadly speaking, I would agree with that BO (although I don't see Twine being a factor).

I would guess (and that's all it is of course because none of us know) that we were contributing 5k per week to Doyle's wage and that's what we would do if we signed Grigg.

I would also guess that ideally, RW/LP really REALLY want Doyle back. Clearly they can't afford both (if only) but at the same time don't want to end up with no one. So as you suggest it will be very cat and mouse until that window slams shut.

With Wellens history of cats and bags I still suspect we will end up getting a striker that has never been mentioned until he appears with scarf above head.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Yeah, I think we'll do something significant this window but it quite possibly won't be until the 11th hour...(crosses fingers)

Or a cat above his head? That would be novel

Bit late for a pus in boots, panto season over. We need a cross between a bulldog, terrier and bloodhound up front.

Still time for some of our sicknotes to get a bad case of blisters.

It’s interesting that that Salford have offered a ‘concrete’ five grand and we have offered what exactly? How would they know what Salford have and we have not?

I am not convinced that we have ever really been after Grigg at all TBH.

Salford have apparently made a £200k+ bid apparently for (fairly) local high scoring striker Danny Rowe from Fylde who handed in a transfer request last week after scoring 155 goals in 250 games for them.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

Rowe signed for Oldham last week, didn’t he?

Rowe signed for Oldham last week, for a lot less than £200k+.

Oh I didn't see that was going off some posts from Salford fans. Interesting.
