Trying to find out more information on tentative links to Britt Assombalonga. Have heard there have been enquiries to his agent, but not sure how reliable the source. Apparently on about £5k pw at previous club in Turkey. Not sure this would be the right move, doesn't seem to have had a great season in Turkey last year. Rather see us take a chance on a younger/non league up and coming player, any ideas?, or even a loan possibly. Assombolonga would be a massive waste of money imo

Good news is there are now three publicly interested parties. Price should be rising and here comes the FOMO!
Evo is a great player, but realistically we have to take a fee if a good one is provided. Anything over 750k and I think we will end up taking it.

I read this as he’s trying to play up the fact they need to spend more to compete, and he’s probably being somewhat flexible with the facts!

Suspect he had plans to go to Newport, that might have changed since GC got the boot He can do a lot better than that!

I’d be happy to see Luca stay, I still think he has potential. But if he’s not likely a starter, I don’t blame him for looking elsewhere and it may be best for him to move on. Fair play to the lad though, he’s been good for us overall and was a big player in our promotion.

I think we would have to part with about £250k to get him. Would save a bit of money looking at their recruitment guy. Or save even more and just sign all the Gas rejects from under Widdrington… which seems to be Aldershots real recruitment strategy!

Love our approach to recruitment this season. Will cross my fingers they’re actually decent! 😂

Don’t shoot the messenger but have a city supporter at work who thinks we are in for Korey Smith….. Would be a decent signing on a 1 year deal

The business so far is going against the thinking that we haven’t got a clue what we’re doing! Very smart imo.

I guess if he's considered to be good enough to be Rotherham's No 1, assuming that's the intention, we've missed out on a top 3/top 6 goalie, although there's plenty of experienced goalies around, unlike 20 goals a season strikers. not sure on this, I was pretty underwhelmed with the potential of getting Dawson but accepted that it would be decent, just because he's signed for Rotherham doesnt make him a top 6 goalie, they like us are just as capable of signing dud players How does Dawson’s CV suggest he is a dud player? Pretty baffling take, looked a very promising signing and a shame we’ve missed out!

Looks a good player but if he is replacing Evans he’s got a tough job on his hands. IMO Evans is one of the best players in league one. But hopefully with the Evans money we can get this guy plus a striker and a winger that can impact now and sell for a profit in the future. That’s the game of sustainable improvement. Exactly this. As sad as it can be to see our best players leave, as long as we do reinvest in potential then it’s the best way to go. Builds a more balanced team ultimately with more sell on potential. Conteh was a great signing imo and fits this mould. I hope we continue to go this route… Hutchinson fits it too. I’d be really impressed with that business.

Yep, so similar I'd be amazed if he isn't a replacement.

Not sure if there are still any Saddler fans reading this thread? If so, what's your opinion of Hutchinson? One of your fans on X said his stats don't reflect his performances. They said in most games he makes no impact and you don't even notice he's on the pitch. He goes on to say that he'll be glad to get rid of him because you need better for such an important position. Any truth in that? I see he won the fans player of the year award so I assume it's not an opinion shared by all of you. Sounds like he's a bit upset at losing one of their best players 😭

Why, when there appears little chance he'll start the season as our No 1? It seems very likely that he'll be sent out on loan until at least January, as sitting on the bench isn't going to help develop his game.. Who? Ward isn’t being sent out on loan. He’ll be a joint no1 with a more experienced keeper or sold for £1m plus. No point sending him to league 2 now. I believe Taylor wants a bigger keeper than Ward, has always had them in his previous sides. I expect this guy to be #1, not Ward.

Barnsley trying to beat us to Taylor Moore If you believe EFL Hub These accounts just make up a lot and hope some sticks. Given the article from Bristol Live said Barnsley had held an interest, I'm betting they've taken a punt on a late interest now it's reported as done. I see their game! Not concerned.

I’m actually pretty happy with this one. Seems an obvious one. Good age, versatile, at a time in his career where it really is time to step up. Seems a solid signing with little risk tbh.

Cant be arsed to read the whole thread but on the juicy gossip of the behaviour at the awards evening, a group of us went to the awards evening after the L2 promotion so interesting to compare the comments.
The "scouse mafia" as we are calling them were pretty vocal at their table that time, and throwing banter about non stop / taking the water loudly.
Perhaps considering a load of lads on the lash with their teammates as "wanting out" might be a bit much of a jump..
