lookersstandandy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Main rejected him for Pompey apparently. I suspect it wasn't Sheridan he was rejecting, but interesting to learn he tried.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 That list highlights how much work there is to do, busy few weeks in store. Are the loan rules the same this coming season other than no more emergency loans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobOAFC Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 That list highlights how much work there is to do, busy few weeks in store. Are the loan rules the same this coming season other than no more emergency loans? Only loans during the transfer windows. I think goalkeepers can still be signed as an emergency loan, providing any youth keepers have not played more than x(10?) amount of first team games.

Hands on Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The loan rules, if you believe the Telegraph: "Under the new rules, Football League clubs will still be prohibited from selecting more than five loan players in their 18-man match-day squad. They will also be prevented from borrowing more than four players a season from any one club, and no more than two over the age of 23. And there is a specific provision regarding goalkeepers, with teams able to sign one at any time if they do not have a fit registered keeper who has made five senior appearances for any club." Apart from this the obvious change is only in the transfer period and only for half or a full season. The home club can also recall a player but not for first team football. Because of the cost to both parent and loan club and the long term half or full season commitment it seems loans from Premiership clubs are unlikely - would you want your 'investment' in the hands of Oldham for so long? Finally, obviously, we wouldn't have been able to get out of the mess that Kelly and Dunn made of last season. It might be this which has made Simon recruit SO'D and take a longer term view of what is necessary to stay in league 1 and as a result we might by accident get into the top six this year, next year.....

welshgaz Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 How many more will have in by Saturday or will trialists make up the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astottie Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'd be surprised and a little disappointed if we didn't have another 3 or 4 in by then because from his 5 signings so far I would think 3 at most would be starters on the opening day added to 2 already here . But it has to be an opportunity for the trialists so expect lots of them. I remember watching Sidney schmeltz at curzon 2 or 3 years ago and thinking why did the RAWS buy Ronaldo Hey ho. Shows what I know and the hunger of a player in search of a contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows what I know and the hunger of a player in search of a contract. Ripley looks like he could be a quality signing & I imagine he'll first choice Law should be a starter. Probably steady but no world beater Same for Reckord Erwin - a starter and could be decent Woodland - I can't quite weigh up whether he's here to start or a squad player. His history is different to say the least. Could be anything, good or bad Kettings - I imagine (& hope) he's cheap Have I missed anyone? I'm going to start worrying if there aren't a few experienced, obvious nailed on first team starters signed soon ....

Crusoe Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 I would imagine either that they're the ones with more complex negotiations and bigger demands requiring more discussion, or the club is keeping them under wraps to build up some hype (or to avoid other clubs from swooping in).

I'm not sure they are on the menu, doing a Burton is the new blueprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 People hadn't heard of Main or Holloway but they did sterling jobs. How many greeted Harkins with "who" ? Sometimes managers and scouts know more than us . Not always but I'm prepared to see a squad built even if not every piece is in place by Aug 6.

Agreed, had we signed Jamie Vardy and Lee Gregory from Halifax a few years ago some on here would have gone into meltdown accusing the club of non league ambitions.. Big names can also be big failures, and we have had plenty of them in the past. Well known or not it doesn't matter as long as they can do a good job for the club.

Trying to pick a whole new team full of rough diamonds is not going to be easy one bit, nor is trying to organise them. Think many are looking for the Gerrard-types, as important in the run-in, who can give these lads a bit of backbone. Expect these to be signed in the coming weeks, but I will be a little tetchy before the club announces them, I'll admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
