because the transfer window is set up such that the biggest clubs can leave it to the last minute and the trickle down of available players for the smaller clubs can't happen until the big fish have had their fill and spat out the rest. |
Someone needs to explain this to Mark Ashton then, as he said by getting relegated early we can get all our business done nice and early. |  | | |

Why post anything on here if that’s the case?
I’ve seen 83848 trump posts, 73848 about Palestine, 7284894 about uk politics… but you dare mention the ITFC transfers situation on an ITFC forum and it’s frowned upon. |
Yeah but what evidence do you have to back that up?!! | | | |

To fit in on here you have to be ante Trump, pro Hamas and very relaxed about the transfer policy, and also think that Ali is fine as a back up 9
I think that covers it |
This isn't really the thread to bring these things into but I don't think I have ever seen a post on this forum in favour of HAMAS, just many bewailing the current plight of Palestinians (many of whom have to suffer HAMAS in much the same way as a battered wife has to suffer a violent husband that conventions force them to live alongside.)
Also I think many people around the World are anti-Trump and his policies but ante Trump means before Trump, which it is no longer possible to be. Looking on the bright side, a post Trump time is inevitable. |  |

But we blazed high and wide (apart from Taylor's added time shot which looked easy for the keeper) because teams like Preston do not give you time to settle on the ball. We are going to meet quite of few of them as the season progresses and our forwards need to be sharper. Such a waste of the two excellent crosses that Jack Clarke put in. |
Yes. But snap-shooting is a skill which can be trained and confidence built. It's the old thing about elite sportspeople being less physically and mentally overstressed than lesser mortals, thus having that extra fraction of a second to think and deliver.
Someone like Haaland is pretty comfortable flying sideways between two defenders as the ball approaches his foot, therefore is more likely to get a shot on target. Salah is thinking so far ahead, he has already visualised where to run and what angle to kick. Our players, while not of that level, with their pedigree ought to have a similar advantage over the Championship average. But they need to remember that, not to fret over missed chances, to take the pressure off and use that (however marginal) superiority. |  |

I'm just not sure that Szmodics can play in that role and link paly effectively. Impressive work rate, and he'll be a goal threat in more games than not but the awareness and link up play are less so. |
Yup.
Said to some mates over the weekend that Szmodics is a presser whereas Chaplin is a creator & I know what I’d rather have from that role. |  |

Depends on the opposition I think.
Also, if Chaplin's passing and use of the ball is as poor as it was on Saturday then it doesn't make much difference. |  |

Chaplin has had a pretty poor start to the season tbh. His game is all about spontaneity and quick use of the ball, which is excellent when it comes off (see the 2 promotion seasons!), but hugely frustrating when it doesn't. |  |

Some people find this difficult to understand. I'm not why.
The player we are likely in for don't get "released" until that team has cover | | | |

The transfer window opened on the 01/06/25 to 10/06/25 and then reopened on the 16/06/25. But due to the way things are set up with fair play rules players bought or sold as was the case with Delap before 30/06/25 they counted as the last financial year. I believe that is why it was in our interest to sell pre 30/06/25 and to buy after the 30th.
But as we know several of the targets didn't happen due to various reasons despite the saga of them stretching into a week or more. | | | |

This is what we need, another new thread about lack of transfers.
Good man, we had all forgotten over night. |
It's only the 129th this week. What's wrong with you man? |  |

Yep hence the window is going to go crazy once more in the final hours, also we're after TOP players here, players all waiting for that big Prem Club to step in, we're in a difficult position, it's not even about money.. |  | | |

So you don't think any of our players aren't in your view, top players?
In my book a Hayden Hackney is a top player...
But yeah you're talking Champions League, they're top TOP players..:) | | | |

We aren’t competing in those markets. It will impact loans, but we’ve only made effectively two signings that would be here still if we aren’t promoted.., so if we are waiting on more loans, we really are in trouble.
Our big sales are all done, and the money has been there for a long time.., will you still be clutching at straws in November?
The process has been woeful.
The outcome, who knows. But there’s now an obvious spectacular failure of strategy and leadership.
We signed young players.., knowing we couldn’t regain them.., up or down (apparently? So the solution.
Target young players again.
If it sounds like it’s a complete load of chaos, directionless headless chicken chaos.., it’s because it is.
McKenna want to prove to himself he can change a players atttibytes FAR more than he wants to win games of football.
It’s a proxy for his ego at this point. | | | |
