It’ll be announced when it’s announced. Ideally i’m sure DU would have wanted 1 in by now, but clearly we are going for players who are somewhat sought after or already have clubs (evident with Scunthorpe’s recent update where they confirmed we bid for a player), and so these often take time for all parties to agree on. I was hoping for a signing today, but not worried about it and no major rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astottie Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'd be surprised if we are not after a recognised right back, but I think we have sufficient resources to fill in for a few games - Sutton, Shelton- without weakening the positions they play in, which means we don't have to push the boat out cash wise. And if we can't find one we want at a price we like I would have thought young right backs available on loan from the EFL are ten a penny. Not that we need ten, that would be silly.

yarddog73 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'm pretty sure we are still sniffing around Ogle and probably holding out for who Unsworth feels is the right man, Ogle hasn't featured for Scunthorpe pre season yet which could be telling, if we start with Sutton or Shelton there I wouldn't be too worried though it's important anyone we bring in improves us so I think an untested loan will probably be out of the question.

Ofcourse we will be, the fact is we are a month out from the start of the season and we are effectively 1 player short of a promotion winning team. We aren't constricted by the transfer window in the national league either so we can wait. At this stage of the summer most years we have usually only put the bones on a side that might be good enough to avoid relegation if that. It's going to be fine everyone relax Frank, Darren, and Dave have got this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
