steelcityowlsfan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) We needed a CB last season and didn't get one. At times we played Semedo or Pudil there. Fast forward to now and we still need a CB with less than 2 weeks till the season starts. I can only imagine that the targets we really want are only loan possibilities, perhaps due to being close to the FFP limit. We haven't moved any players on still in contract so haven't generated any fees to help fund any transfers. I think we will get some players to genuinely strengthen the team but most likely after the season starts. That will be a gamble and will rely on us having a good start to the season which traditionally we don't. @Student Owl Wasn't Vermijl ( spell-check) sold under the DC regime?

You're absolutely right, I honestly forgot about him! If memory serves then that'll be him and Stevie May as the only ones that got sold... Bus had his contract mutually ended so he could leave on a free and get footie Edited July 26, 2017 by StudentOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good god I'm going to have to completely rethink my statement now 3 sales in two and a half years, all big big moves as well! It does show then that we are happy to occasionally move players on I guess, but it definitely is a policy of only moving those on that are clearly nowhere near the matchday 18. A good policy for increasing team strength, not so great when you bring in the volume of players we have over such a short period and it leaves you with the bloated squad we've had. Still, you can't pick and choose what players other teams are interested in... maybe it does just boil down to signings rather than sellings...

That's because he is playing on the wrong wing and likes to cross using his left foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season before we sold Antonio for 1.6m, Danny mayor to bury and let a load go for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting a player's contract run out isn't selling him I'm only counting since DC joined, Antonio left well before DC was on the scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Grayson is shrewd in the transfer market. Grabban is a decent signing as is Vaughan if they get him going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he went to Reading on the night we signed Rhodes actually? Don't think he did much tbf but I thought he would have given us that blistering pace option up front and made us not so predictable.
