The not STFC Transfer Rumours thread

[DV]

I think Shade has to play the Anderson role behind a forward and be utterly free to wander.  I still do not think he is any good though, regardless of where he is played.  An athlete who bullied his way through youth football seems the likely outcome of his career.  Love to be wrong though.

Definitely getting Ricky Shakes vibes from him.
However, as I’ve said previously about other players - more than happy to give him a clean slate under new management

My only ITK prediction is Cowley38 is full of shit.

Not a prediction - a fact.

[Cowley38]

Not remotely true.

Time will tell....

Let me know when those quality marquee signings arrive.....

We will see....

As for the budget. Don’t think it’s been slashed, don’t think it’s bottom end of L2.

However, when you look at our outgoing players. We haven’t freed up alot of cap space have we?
I imagine that’s the difference. Our budget is competitive but might be 85% accounted for.

Club x might have a lower budget in total but only 50% already accounted for and thus 50% to play with  in the off season.

50% of a smaller number can be a bigger number than 15% of a bigger number.

You keep believing that.....

The financial situation at STFC is anything but rosy......

I've but no idea if you're in the know or what your  saying is true or bullshit and looking for a reaction but by stipulating timescales which have passed you're opening yourself up to criticism unless you can be more open about the information you claim to have.

Well for Cowley's post of five days ago to be proved true, we'll be seeing 3 in and 4 out tomorrow, so admin's going to be busy. Get the drone on charge.

Without reading back I'm pretty sure last week you mentioned that specific players would be signing this week.

And if you read back, I said things had changed.

Finances meant they could not sign.....

Cant afford to put it on charge, just seen Rob Angus buying a powerbank

Would finances stop the four going out? Surely if we were skint and could get four players off the books, we'd jump at the chance? Has the fax machine been put on eBay?

Opposite, we’ve accidentally left it on charge all pre season and thus have spent Raglan’s wages on the electricity bill. Hence why the northern boy who wanted to move closer to home turn us down to sign for a northern team closer to his home.

While I am joking, it's odd that football stadia do not make better use of Windmills and Solar Panels - the Town End would be a great place to take advantage of the wind tunnel effect.
