RandomGuy Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) I'm not completely unconvinced that poster on P&B isn't his agent, he's had a peculiar posting history which looks like he's trying to create some fan pressure towards the club, as if he thinks it'll help his negotiating position.

Center Half Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Gaz Whyte has signed for an English team today seemingly, wonder if that was cause we were out of the race due to signing Watt? probably see him in a couple of years time!

Shaggy Jenkins Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 From the unoficial twitter TW: "As things stand we are not in a position to make any signings so I've had to tell the trialists that. It was only fair to tell them the situation. Things possibly may not be dead but right now we have to wait." Looks like we have spunked the budget on Watt. If so its not looking such a good signing, however it may well be 'politics' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I like the Watt signing, but I'm not overly convinced we needed to spend the entire budget on him, we look incredibly short in the middle of the park and on the left wing.

RandomGuy Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Although I see there's other quotes saying they will make signings but it's not possible just yet, Willock and a left winger the targets. Seems a bit bizarre unless someone's being sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I disagree, we might be a bit short our wide, but we were desperately short of ability up top with the departure of Macca. I’d rather play a young player or two and have that bit of magic up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take on it is he's not saying the budgets gone, just that we can't spend the budget on second choice targets because we still have first choice targets available.

Pat McGroin Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I wouldn’t be surprised to see us try and play the loan market for a player or two. Would happily take Willock back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also quotes suggesting TW sees a left winger as a priority position too, assume he's confident of getting someone if he's allowed Driver to go without an offer.

Pat McGroin Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 From what i’ve read, I think Driver is more of a LB than a winger these days. I wonder if he’s not got the pace that TW’s after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBored Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I can understand sending Njo-Lea back with Watt signing. With the LB, perhaps Wright is thinking that when Easton is fit there is no point in having three players fighting for that position. With the goalie, it might come down to finances and prefering to spend that wage elsewhere rather than a guy who you would expect would be on the bench most times. There is a lot placed on Watt....hopefully he has now knuckled down....or he's another Riordan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 They can spend against it if it’s deffo coming, and it’s pretty easy to get round ring-fencing. However, you’re probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so its not looking such a good signing, however it may well be 'politics' Can't be arsed checking but there has been 5 or 6 plus 2 loaners out the door & 2 in . Don't think Watt would take up all these wages as he was a player looking for a club after not playing for 11 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played very few games last season & was poor the season before which may have been down to carrying the injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
