Summer 2025 - Transfer Rumours and Discussions

[Rankine]

We seem to be very good at identifying decent targets but not very good at signing them

This all day long, and it all comes down to cash

 

[Dick Dastardly]

We’re not so desperate for another striker now that we’ve signed Dobbin. With Osmajic, Jebbison, Keane and Smith.

Getting out of vans or taxis? Fylde Executive Cars are used as VIP taxis from Warton Aerodrome so may have flow in to there...

Is Warton not used for military planes only

Keane isn’t even an option anymore, he’s finished at this level.

Keane isn’t even an option anymore, he’s finished at this level.

Whilst he’s on our pay roll he’s an option.

 

[No Danger]

Whilst he’s on our pay roll he’s an option.

Although it sounds like the club have been looking to offload him but amongst other things his injury has hampered efforts.

 

[Ooh David Eyres]

Keane isn’t even an option anymore, he’s finished at this level.

Very disappointed we haven’t been able to move him on. Heis last season in league one was exceptional, and it’s not long since west brim wanted him!!

It’s on standby for Manchester and has its own passport control/customs area but you’ll not be able to get a private flight to it. It’s ‘internal’ only

Is Warton not used for military planes only

No, they have their own commercial fleet that fly to Farnborough and Munich.

Vukcevic?

Apparently we were interested in Lowe at Sheffield Wednesday but admittedly, that's a while ago now and Vukcevic seems to have been the bargain alternative.

From what I can tell Vukcevic looks like a more purely defensive back-up to Small as left wing-back and also maybe an option for left-back if we play with a back four but he doesn't seem too convincing as left centre-back in a back three a position that arguably requires a bit more presence. But if having him here helps keeps Osmajic happy then that deficiency is probably worthwhile.

As far as I know, Dobbin isn't an out-and-out striker.

Keane is injured and to be blunt, pretty ineffective even when fit these days.

Jebbison's goalscoring record is poor.

Smith is at the stage of his career where he should be more of an impact sub than a first choice and Osmajic still has a potentially long ban hanging over him.

We need another striker.

Sort of like going into a bar, seeing someone you fancy, chatting them up and then going home by yourself afterwards...

Vans apparently….

My mate who saw the vans lined up on Lowthorpe Rd said that they all had Asian drivers.

I used to use Fylde Exec all the time when I was working and I still do for private airport trips and they don’t have any Asian drivers…

 

[Mahogany Rush]

Assets, not cash.

Fuck me 🥱, fuck you're funny.
Sell the assets then, I hope PNE will be the first, tight fisted lot we've got running us.

 

[Henry Weston]

Success rate of 2 out of 5 is acceptable though, apparently……..

[TomPNEFC]

Wonder what the fee is. 500k? Possibly that money already been pre spent on Dobbin.

 

[Pennyhome]

Thanks for the memories Jeppe 🔥

 

[TomPNEFC]

Seems very bizarre for us to be putting cash bids in if Gudjohnsen is available for £1m …

 

[Nobberbaz]

Good luck to the lad.
