STFC Transfer Rumours

[McGurk's Missus]

If we are at the point where we need to sell to survive then a lot of other clubs will be in a similar boat and thus won’t pay transfer fees anyway.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we let people go for free just to move them off the wage bill. Particular those heading north.

I think there will be quite a lot of swap deals in the lower divisions that suit positional requirements between each club. Likely see quite a favours being done more than normal. So contacts might be more key than money this window (especially as most have none /little).

Like Twine, you mean?

Someone whose done it at league 1 would be better.

[McGurk's Missus]

He isn't our Lord & Saviour but let's be honest here...Newport are probably playing better than half the teams in L1.

Here’s some stats which shows why we are where we are defensively. Too many goals conceded from shots on target

Team. SOT. Goals
Rochdale 2. 1
Blackpool. 5. 2
Burton. 2. 2
Pboro. 5. 3
Wimbdon. 1. 1
Sun land. 5. 2
Nhampton. 4. 2
Hull . 6. 1
Plymouth. 12. 4
Darlo Cup. 4. 2
Shrews. 3. 3
Rovers. 1. 0
Linc. 2. 1
Scum 5. 1
Crewe 12. 4
Gills. 3. 2
Fleet. 1. 1
Doncaster. 7. 2
Charlton. 4. 2
MK 6. 4

And goals conceded from shots on target - not good for Kovar. He lets in nearly 50% of any shot on target


Burton. 117. 45 38.4%
Swindon. 90. 41 45.5% (3 Fryer)
Plymouth 99. 37. 37.3%
Crewe. 72. 21. 27.2%

I’m amazed if Kovar stopped as much as 50%

I'm not, he's made some saves. It's just that he's let a fair few in that most people eyes he should be doing much better with

He's not ready for L1 and he's not ready to play behind our defence! I'm convinced though that there are other similarly (or more) experienced keepers who would be successful behind out defence.

Without any merit or foundation, merely thinking out loud and thinking back to who we were after last January transfer window.... Will Grigg anyone? Only started 3 league games for them this season... With the threat of going into admin suggested by their Chairman today... Could highly-paid Grigg be getting loaned out or sold off on a free to a well known Wiltshire club?

That only helps them if we can pay his wages. Without wishing to piss on your chips, I'd suggest that's unlikely.

"sold off on a free" that's a new one FDB

No, you need to lower your expectations, massively.

Will from Greggs?

edit: Scrath that, Pittman doesn't need easy access to a sausage roll dealer

He's already sponsored by Melton Mowbray!

We need to keep stock of the situation

I guess it would blow too many people's socks off with that signing...
