Summer transfer rumours

Any takers do you know?

 

Do well to get someone to pay even half his wages, imo.

 

So it’s a player who was recently under investigation for texting an under 16 and charges have now been dropped? If the charges have been dropped, I don’t see why there’s an issue. I’d happily have ached Evans on firm here and he was locked up for rape. Why is this different? Unless I’m missing something

 

Yet he's a goalscorer and the 'hardest job is putting the ball in the back of the net'.

 

Bloody Hell, criminal activity or not, with the club's reputation still tarnished over the Adam Johnson case this is the last player in the world that we need.

 

On the subject of Griffiths there’s little doubt in terms of ability he’d be a coup at this level. However in terms of his attitude and the sort of man he is… let’s just say I don’t want people like him representing the football club I support.

 

It’s a no from me. I’ve just been reading Neil Lennon’s comments about Griffiths coming back from lockdown unfit and a stone overweight. Sounds like another lazy striker looking for an easy ride.

 

Do we know if the other, primary striking target (ahead of Griffiths?) is at an advanced stage?

 

He is a peice of ****. Lots of stuff going on. A bad egg. Most people in football know the type of person he is.

Safc have standards and the new regime have done a lot right. If the loan falls through and we go to this lad instead , I won't be happy.

 

Last I heard was it was ongoing mate. Don't know the specifics. Never that involved. Just get bits.

 

If he asked but she didnt....hes still guilty for asking in my eyes, surely the police would have taken that further though if he had? we really really dont need to go back here publicity wise on top of everything else

 

Hard to believe we would go down this route....Big No from me. I assume Celtic just want him out of the way for while, but keeping match fit...We've had enough bad press without inviting more in.

 

I agree

 

On the face of it Rafferty seems a good signing. Left back but can play right back. Played for Rochdale in this league and impressed enough for Preston to pay a fee and give him a 3 year deal.

Played regularly season before last but seemingly not at all last year?

feels like another money ball scenario @Prehab26

 

Yep. It's basically what they are doing now. Using a massive data analysis to look for players who have shown over the years they can do it but for whatever reason it's not working presently. Get them into a new environment and the talent will be there.

I get it. However, with Griff they can do one.

 

Think Rafferty gets done mate?

 

It’s risky as hell mind. Really thought the data analysis would be loads more sophisticated than this and use current performance metrics rather than essentially look for players that aren’t playing football any more

 

It is. It's using all the performance metrics possible but then looking at why the current environment is not allowing for performance to be implemented.

 

Oh I see. Understood.

Hope (and trust) the medical process has been made even more rigorous though to validate these.
