Wellsince1976 Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) To add to the Fletcher rumours, guy that sits next to me and has some insider knowledge said before the Lammie loan was announced that he was off and Fletcher was coming in. Time will tell. Edited August 26, 2023 by Wellsince1976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 I would have no problem with fletcher. Great experience and great link up man. When you see our other options up front it's a no brainer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Dosser Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 50 minutes ago, Ya Bezzer! said: Who is he going to link up with? If Fletcher signs he'll be our top scoring striker but it might still be single digits. With midfielders (like Paton today) supporting from midfield and arriving late and (who knows?) Bair might even benefit from SF's presence. The latter's not the ideal striker by any means but at this stage in the window and given the unexpected injury to Biereth and Wilkinson, etc. he offers some composure and a range of passing which seem missing in Bair, Efford and Wilkinson at the moment. None of this is ideal but we're rapidly running out of options. If you can suggest an out-and-out striker who's available within our wage bracket then I'm sure SK would like to know about him.

real dosser Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Rumours I heard today was that the Fletcher deal has been done and waiting for the paperwork. Ollie Shaw also mentioned but think it will be a loan deal rather than a permanent deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbybingo Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Only issue I'd have with Fletcher signing is he's a 36 year old who I assume hasn't done a pre-season. How long will he take to get up to speed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsince75 Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Be interesting to see if both McGinley and Efford both find other clubs either as perm or loanees before the window shuts. National league is prob the right levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for a bit of business before the window closes. It would benefit both parties if McGinley and Efford were to move on. On top of that we need at least one striker, probably two, if only on 6 month deals to tide us over until injured parties return. A left wing back and maybe another midfielder. A long wish list I know and probably totally unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Was hoping to see some news on here today after some of the seemingly confident predictions over the weekend. Still a few days left though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that it has pretty much been one out, one in, hopefully that means our mystery striker can be announced now! Dundee have Shaughnessy, Ashcroft and McGhee there so I'm not even sure he'll get first team football. They also have the Mexican Portales who was ironically injured against us.

thewelllfan Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Personally think we still need 3/4 more in Could do with an experienced Cb to play in the middle of the back 3. Need a Lwb to bring an natural balance to the team. Would take Penney who is a free agent atm. Still don't have a defensive midfielder. We also need another St considering we have about 2 available not including youth players, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelllfan Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 To add on to the above a couple of the free agents I'd be looking at Matt Penney-Lwb Paul Osew-Lwb Jack Fitzwater-Cb Ben Heneghan-Cb Luke Amos-defensive mid Dominic Gape- Defensive mid Cameron Mcgeehan- Centre-mid Steven Fletcher-ST Jay Emmanuel-Thomas-St Mckinstry also still available if he wants something different shape wise That's just a quick list of players who are available who ive watched before and thought were decent no idea what sort of wage some would want but all have a decent no of senior apps at a decent level 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 Zdravkovski is a defensive mid, and Butcher is too if SK wants to play him there once he's fit. I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if we see more than 2 new faces, and be happy if one of them is a decent striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fucking way are we having a guy who thinks it's alright and cool to have JET on the back of his shirt. It's his initials? You trying to tell me if his first name had been Paul, he'd have had PET on the back of his shirt? On good taste grounds, this one is a hard no from me... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if we see more than 2 new faces, and be happy if one of them is a decent striker. He clearly prefers butcher as the CCB in the 3 and Zdravkoski looks like more of a box to box for me on the small sample size we've seen of him The St signing is the priority for me but we definitely need the other 3 positions as well the boy Spencer looked ok as a Lwb but wanted to come inside too much for me would prefer a left footer in that position. The Cb also would be quite important because I don't know about you but Mugabi never fills me with confidence and Paul Mcginn can get bullied in certain games so a more physical centre-back with experience wouldn't go a miss for me. IF Fitzwater would come I think he'd be an excellent signing. Fletcher and Penney seem like 2 deals that can be done. On the midfielder front not really sure who we can get but I'd definitely like to strengthen there aswell. I'd ideally move Mcginley on. Keep Efford till Jan and move him on then.

texanwellfan Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 From the little we have seen and making assumptions about SK/Efford relationship I think it would be better all around for Efford to move on just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
