Not sure enough on the talk of us missing out on Raglan, but from the deals that were done around that time, he seems to be the most sensible bet as to the one who chose north
Extremely sure and confident enough in saying we missed out on both Farquharson to Walsall and Demetriou to Crewe - others on here will know more. No doubt this will be denied. Demetriou was Flynns main man for 4 years at Newport. Shame as he woulda been a great addition.
a keeper, 3 CBs or 2 CBs and a left back required, 1 defensive mid, 1 attacking mid and a winger/forward dynamic type player. 7 or so first team XI quality bodies needed to compete with the current 9 or 10 that are first team XI worthy

TBF looking at the TEF recently I think the moral high ground on such matters has rather fucked off!
Yep

Over the next three transfer windows?

In the total absence of even the merest whiff of a rumour - let alone an actual signing - I think we’re entitled to go a little doolally.

I hope we don't sign him purely on the basis that every time I see his name it makes me think of that dick who sings about sausage rolls! and thanks to you, now I will too

Why exactly are you ‘extremely sure and confident’ in saying we missed out on both players? As far as I can tell - it’s only the fans who have linked them and most have only done that because of the Flynn link. Sure, I get the logic behind thinking we might be after those players and I’m not denying that but that’s a bit off being extremely sure and confident we even had any interest to start with

6 at the rate we're going haha But no, looking at the other teams business, 6 or 7 capable players in addition to the 1 goalkeeper we've signed isn't asking for much at all. Need it done very soon though, rather not be constructing a squad on deadline day again like last season (which I don't think happens btw) hopefully 3 or 4 more in before col u.

Same reasons you say we missed out on Danny Johnson for 3 grand a week (not dismissing that all btw) and fwiw probs right on Harry Smith in all - Flynn has openly said he's a big fan.

Is there the slightest bit of evidence that Flynn wanted Demetriou?
Playing for a manager in the past doesn't count

Exactly this. He's the exact same profile as FBT whose a guaranteed starter, so it's unlikely we were ever in for him anyway. People are creating links on assumptions and then causing themselves to become so disappointed when the move inevitably doesn't happen, when it's likely we were never in for him.

I'm wondering if wage EFL cap could also come into play. I'd assume we were tight last season - though Dolo and Williams have gone since so maybe not.

And Jephcott - I know he was a loan but there's no way he wasn't someone we were paying a lot to.
