2017/18 Transfer rumour and twitter thread.

[Fordy]

Any reason ?

Because he's a very good player?

[Kevin Mcleod]

Any reason ?

He looked very good on saturday in his first appearance.

[Hitman34]

Hoban deal on hold due to player picking up an injury. Expect him to be signed when he is fully recovered.

Will he want to come still, now the bombs gone off ;-)

So looks like Ned and Lynch to start against Reading then. And as it sounds as though Hall might be missing, I'm sure Ollie will come up with a plan for someone to play in front of them. Probably will have a master plan and play Smith there. Nothing would surprise me.

When's he expected back?

So after spending most of last season out he's injured again. Sounds ideal.

I think its his hands and wrists, so badge thumping's out.

Linked with Norwegian striker

[Shania]

Oji would be ideal if we want to play counter attack football. He is a very good allround striker.

DM reckons teams are showing an interest in Ingram

Yeah just seen that.

What's worrying is Sunderland have apparently sold their keeper Mannone to Reading, so are on the look out. WLS have linked Grayson with his former keeper Smithies

Imagine if we lost both of them?!

Surely we wouldn't be that daft.

To be honest, as much as I'd hate to lose him, I think we should sell Smithies. He's too good for our current set up, his stock is high after a great season, he has a long contract (meaning we can command a decent fee) and he's still young enough to have a career at the highest level. I doubt we'll get a better price at any other time than this transfer window. Plus we have a keeper that is at about the right level for our current set up warming the bench, and probably getting itchy feet.

We wouldn't let both go I'm sure

I would let Smithies go. Buy low sell high instead of buy high sell very low. Makes much more sense!

As clear cut as that philosophy is, I would suggest a relegation battle would be much more likely without Smithies.
