Transfer Rumours 24/25


Recommended Posts

I know it's all about opinions but some posters [not many] appear to think Latics should be signing top-class or marquee players. Tier five football is not going to achieve that. I trust BP's observations that Dolan will be a decent signing.

Khan is a bit of a strange one, in that he has been training with the club for a period of time but no offer has been made..unless it has and there are details to iron out. Stones on loan would be great, although we didn't really see him for that long, due to the injury. I think the squad is going in the right direction and certainly I have more confidence than this time last season.

Where did this nonsense that all people of whatever generation inevitably share common characteristics come from?  It seems akin to astrology to me or as I prefer to call it - utter bollocks

Bit unnecessary. I guess opinion polls that show different opinions have greater prevalence in different age groups are a load of old nonsense. Thanks for the lesson.

Surely we are signing Khan. 6 weeks on trial is ridiculous

 

Didnt someone say Khan's delay was due to International clearance being required?

I've watched the extended highlights from Torquay v Yeovil last season and you can probably see why Micky and Gary fancy Dolan, comfortable with the ball at his feet he plays those balls in behind the centrehalf that the likes of Norwood would thrive on, always looking for the forward pass he'd probably fit in with what they are trying to build, he's always looking to get on the ball as well and make something happen which is something else we need more of, looks like he'd have a goal in him as well playing more advanced, I also think he could slot in deeper in the midfield as he has a decent passing range and would link up well eith the better footballers that we have. That's only a 12 minute highlight reel but that performance was encouraging in front of a decentish crowd and a big game for Torquay.

International clearance is only required for players moving between associations, more or less:

 

an International Transfer Certificate (ITC) is required for every player aged 10 years or over … who is not an English national, and is registering for a club in England for the first time, as well as any player who has played under another National Association (including the other Home Associations)

 

The process of obtaining an ITC ensures that a player, when moving from a club in one National Association to a club in another, is under the jurisdiction and disciplinary powers of the new Association. It is a key element in the registration of a player and ensures that they are eligible to play for their new club, as well as acting as a check to ensure the player is not under contract with their previous club, or subject to any suspension.“

Greater prevalence is one thing. Blanket assumptions quite another

The statement was caveated with "probably" and "reckon". Saying people of one generation are more likely to take a particular view on a particular matter is about greater prevalence than a blanket assumption.

It was a wider point. I can't be doing with Gen x think this, Gen Y do that, Millennials have this approach etc. That's exactly the same as how racism or sexism works.

Sounds just the ticket for me, hope we get him, hope he stays injury free and hope he gives us that little bit of guile in the middle to feed that front line, I'm very excited about seein Dolan in a Latics shirt

I’ve heard it’s currently dead in the water Brad unless something significant changes.

 

Let’s hope so though, I think he’d take us up.👍

Same source who gave me Dolan is the one who said Stones is close
