Having got back off holiday I have been catching up on forum speculations and the like re: transfers in / out.

My question / this thread is aimed at those who seem to be more itk than the rest of us....

When this Thursday comes, and the team return to pre season training, WILL Neil insist on having his targets at the club (or at worst by next Monday) ?
and insist on those who have been offered new deals deciding if they are going to sign them?

IF Moore is no. 1 target (and I hope he is) then how long into pre season will he wait for a deal before getting his 2nd choice because we know how much AN values a full preseason under him!

IF DJ etc havent signed a new deal will AN decide Thursday is long enough and anyone not committed to PNE by then be put on the fringes for his pre season?

I know AN cant do anything about those 'we' want to leave actually leaving by THursday (and I dont get the impression AN will do a GW 'Rossendale 7') but he does want 'committed people'.

SO, when Thursday comes, Who WILL be at Springfield ???? & who is planning to go down and try to catch a glimpse ?
 
Would expect players who are surplus to requirements to be at training fully involved with the rest of the squad until deals are done to leave.

We gave them contracts so we shouldn’t be essentially bombing them out and since the GW days it hasn’t been the PNE style to ‘transfer list’ or exclude players from the rest of the squad, it ruins the atmosphere of good will.

However progress does need to be made now on offloading player. My prediction is 3 more in and 8 or 9 out probably.
 
I know it’s still early days but I’m getting slightly concerned about moving players out.

Pringle, Doyle, Spurr, Woods and Horgan (if we want to get rid) should all have interest - all could do a good job at League One level. However I’d imagine they’re all on what I’d consider very decent League One wages so it could be tricky to get deals over the line.

Vermijl, Boyle and O’Connor worry me. I simply can’t understand why any clubs would be interested in them.

Vermijl had a decent loan spell at Scunthorpe last season who made the play offs, there will be plenty of interest in him. Boyle was also solid enough when he stepped in for us last season and played most weeks for Donny when on loan. O'Connor is the only one who might not have any interest but I imagine someone desperate will take a punt.
 
Vermijl started 3 games for Scunthorpe.

Think we will either pay him up or he it will be another loan deal.

Vermijl started 1 league game for Scunthorpe. Boyle started 6 league games for Doncaster.

We are going to struggle to get them off the books, imo. Probably subsidised loans.
 
Just an educated guess at this point but I think Moult will leave either at the back end of the window or in January. Hard to see where he fits in if Moore signs.

I would imagine we will need to pay up our help with wages to get spurr woods Pringle Boyle Vermijl off the books but will TH let us do that ?

Depends when contracts run. If most run until the end of June, then clubs may not come in for anyone until they have released some of their own.

You've answered it yourself there really. Some league 1 clubs, and lets face it that's where this lot are going, won't be able to afford to pay the wages just yet and 6 weeks before the season starts. As much as managers will want their squad sorted by the time pre season starts the reality is that doesn't tend to happen and if the chairman can save a few quid whilst we get them fit then some will be happy to go with that.

I think Vermijl will get a league 1 club, Boyle and O'Connor may need to go to league 2.
 
thanks for your reflections.

I wasnt really thinking of those 'we' no longer appear to want - and I agree PNE wont just make them train with the kids etc. Some of them might leave on dead line day....

My underlying thought was about Alex Neil's patience over those we WANT to sign / keep.....

how long will he wait for his target before moving on, how long will he wait for current players to agree to extend ??

I personally dont think AN will wait too long into pre season before switching targets or
(together with PR) move out the ones not signing new deals....such as DJ..


Its a shorter window this summer and AN will want his 1st choice squad here for nearly all of it - in my opinion - but do those 'itk' think differently ?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Vermijl head off to one of the leagues on the continent. Being Belgian and all that.

Sorry to be ignorant , but who is Moore....

When summer comes I try to switch off and enjoy some cricket.

After all, the football lasts 10 months when it does get under way

Send him to Brussels would be good idea, make it a present as part of our EU Brexit leaving bill---They will like that---Not a lot
