Transfer rumours

[Give it to Jabo]

Ian Wright, Stuart Pearce, Jamie Vardy etc etc

[tuffers#1]

That's what they said on the podcast, though the £80k is likely to be conditional rather than a guaranteed fee (i.e. some sort of fee payable over time plus add ons based on appearances etc).

Article I've just read said Forest Green and Lincoln were interested in him last summer before he chose Kings Lynn, which seems a little strange.

Got to be a massive WUM
The club have previously stated that we would only be looking at players with League 1 experience or above.

Where did they state that?

No issue with us identifying and acquiring talent from non league per se if we're getting the right players.

On the fans forum they talked about a player whose stats were off the scale & should be looked at ,
I'm assuming we've looked & liked what we saw .

The club made it clear at the Crouch review meeting that they are looking to bring in young players to develop and eventually make us a fee when they move up. I guess Ethan would be one of these.

Sounds promising. And also potentially a shift towards using stats when identifying targets

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

To my mind, a good player equals a good player; one can get too hung up on which League a player is worthy of....

Over the decades I remember easily the following players that were signed from non league clubs that were very good to exceptional

Cyril Regis - WBA originally Hayes
Alan Devonshire WHU from Southall
Paul Furlong from Enfield

There are so many more

Those examples are from a time when there were fewer subs (therefore opportunities) and scouting wasn't as good as it is now. Not withstanding that, they stand out though because they turned out to be top level players. How many players sink back down to that level in comparison? Far far fewer, but you don't notice those as they don't stand out.

Ricky Otto was a decent signing too.

You think there are stats on players at Kings Lynn’s level?

And Marvin Ekpiteta who came from that level

They are in the National league, only one below us, there were stats on our players when we were in that league.

Yep, for sure. Might not be as detailed in the NL but there will be some.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Holy sh*t, they’re in the division below us.

[tuffers#1]

And when we were NL our players wore
The vests that recorded a players heart rate
Ground coverage etc .

Its in all leagues 1-6 as far as i know

[Kent]

Which division was Marvin Ekpetita in when we signed him? Didn’t work out too badly - now in the Championship!

Jobi pictured on Saturdays programme cover then this, either great trolling of the fans or a potential CM partnership with a combined age of 77!

I actually think he was slightly more than half serious. Won't and shouldn't happen though.

Just all looks like a bad rumour until this happens I will believe nothing

Was obviously Jobi being facetious.. Come on

[Long slender neck]

He would not be fit

[faith1234]

What about Ethan Coleman what’s happening with this guy

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

He would not be fit

That seals it then - he's definitely about to sign.

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

Stay tuned for signing number 4. Would love it to be McAnuff rather than Coleman.
