Official Summer Rumour & Transfer Thread

[SBRed48]

I see that Rodrigues we were linked with at Notts County has chosen Oxford, I can’t see why he would have chosen them over us, so it must have been that we were not interested?

We will have been blown out of the water by the wages offered at Oxford and Derby, who were also in for him.

The reality of the club finances is that we are fishing in an even smaller pond of free agents, loans or tiny fees. "Casper" Lopata came on a free from Woking and that is our level to look at for recruitment beyond loans. Our wage levels can only compete with Fourth Division/ non league levels and there aren't many Pinnocks out there.

Iseka, Styles and Moon are back on our books from 1st July. Iseka alone has two years to run on a four year contract at £6K to £7K a week, 400K a year plus NI and Pension payments. Unless Ahmad's big and exciting news is that Parekh has cleared all the club's deficits and loans then we need to clear the decks of high wage earners and sell some prize assets before we can begin to fish elsewhere.
