Interesting bit in there about Harper too - fee less than the reported £500k and unlikely to creep much higher, minimal add ons. Feels like a great piece of dealing. |  |

This would be our best signing imo, really hope we get this done. |  |

Would really like this deal to go through, think he is a really good operator as a number 10.
Very tall and powerful yet still very athletic and mobile. Technically very good for the number 10 role but also seems to be a goal scorer from that position. [Post edited 28 Jun 2021 16:50]

As a result, it won't happen.

Not really sure what the point of Watson's latest story is? It says no different than his first one on Crooks really. The club are keen on him and would like to sign him. There's no suggestions that it's advanced any further than it was a month ago. |  | | |

If we were to secure him it would make our squad very very good, and should give us some serious firepower next season.
Sounds like he's Cook's number one target, so should imagine the club will be going all out. |  |

I was just thinking the same thing. Isn't really anything new that we didn't already know! |  |

Re his size - just watched the video of his goals and thought he looked to have a bit of power and strength about him. Get him on board and for the first time for a long time I’m confident that out midfield will not be overrun by other teams.
Got to say I’m beginning to like what I’m seeing Cook put together as a team. Looks to have ability and strength all over the place. Get the goalie fella do Penny in at LB then buy a CB to play alongside Woolf, and a goalscorer and we’ll be home and hosed. |  |

I do not buy all this the bar was set with Harper...if a player like Crooks would take is from a good side to a very good side they would pay well over 500k [Post edited 28 Jun 2021 14:16]

My takeaway is that we've moved from identifying Crooks as a target, to actively trying to sign him. |  | | |

Surely we've been doing the groundwork on trying to sign him for weeks already, no? | | | |

This is the one to get excited about, I don't think many will be heartbroken if he signs. |  |

I guess that depends on what you mean by groundwork. I imagine we've done things like message agents and clubs about dozens of players.
I'd guess we're now moving onto making a formal bid. | | | |

That's what I thought. There's no actual news in that article, is there?
It's almost as if they want people, giddy on transfer news, to click the story/link for traffic purposes. |  |

100%
While all of our dealings thus far have been encouraging, it's seeing the likes Crooks and Morsy linked where you feel they're more than just good L1 players. Big difference between being linked and getting them in though. A couple of that ilk and I really would start to get excited. |  |

Think you have to see what comes in out wide, central defence before you could claim that 'it would make our squad very very good' |  | | |

I like all our signings so far but this would be the one for me. Let's hope we do it. | |

They've struggled quite badly with news this summer.
Most of what they post is old interviews or more formal newspaper links following other rumours elsewhere. Been a strange summer for them. Great couple of guys tho but wonder of they've lost some sources. |  |

They have not lost sources
MA has really tightended the lines of communication and staff told to shut up i believe | | | |

I think it's becoming increasingly difficult with social media how it is for your archetypal newspaper journalist to stay at the forefront of transfer rumours. Numerous 'sources' and individuals that know people are instantly able to put out what they've heard with far less scrutiny than they are able to. | | | |

Fair Play Ashton, takes his time
4 weeks ago - preparing to bid

Is this even serious? Why would he come here? Surely the fee will be (relatively) big. Not an obstacle I guess? But, can ITFC really pay him a lot more money than Rotherham, with FFP rules? Or are we really a much better proposition than other clubs in the Champ and/or similar sized/ambitions to Town in L1?
Looking at this without my blue-tinted specs innit.
It would be a cracking and somewhat surprising signing, non? |  |

Rotherham's historical average attendance in L1 is about 9000. They also don't have new backers and transfer income (yet).
I would think town could offer substantially more than Rotherham but I would still be very surprised to see him come here, he wouldn't be short of offers.

It's one of those that IF it happens would be the best coup of the transfer window.
I'm still unsure that he would turn down championship clubs, however the signings we have and going to make may make certain players want to be part of something fun.
Crooks liking a completely random tweet has made me think he may be coming, but it is still one i would be shocked about. | |
