I'm sure he had offers (obviously not good enough, although he is earning nowt at the moment) and at 24 should be mailing down a regular starting spot. (I know they all are, it's a job etc) but this attitude strikes me as very mercenary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect on Beevers, good lad and had a solid career but going back for players you let go 10 years ago is just a bit sad. Saddest thing is that he’s as good as anything else we’ve got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's Lewis Buxton up to these days? Don`t know .............but I`m sure he is still utilising that same aimless pitching wedge chip down the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems he might be back and ready to go for a new club now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read that he had, had some issues in his personal life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourteenerOwl Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Ladapo has asked for a transfer. He is Moore godson and always scores at this level. One to watch maybe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One to watch maybe. I would suspect he'd command a large fee. He's got 12 goals this season and is a decent age. Also his career appears to be on the up, so I doubt he'd drop to our level (how sad is that?). I wonder if he's sensed some interest from the championship and is trying to force a move? Whatever, while I'd like him with us, if he does come I'll be amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be out of contract end of season but there are conflicting reports there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland Owl Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Simms wont be up to speed, not played for several months and has heart problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcGibbo Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 36 minutes ago, Shetland Owl said: Simms wont be up to speed, not played for several months and has heart problems. Yep. On loan at Doncaster in December 2020, Sims tested positive for COVID-19 during his rehab from a hamstring injury. While he played on with lingering fatigue issues, he suffered a glute injury in March 2021, which then brought on sciatica and impacted his energy and appetite further. In April 2021, specialists diagnosed him with ulcerative colitis (UC). Given a choice of steroids or tablets, Sims chose tablets to remain compliant with drug testing. In May, he was released from Southampton. Later in the month, he was taken to hospital and diagnosed with myocarditis (a rare side effect caused by UC tablets) and pericarditis. His wife, Zoe, contacted Southampton's doctors as Sims had multiple health scares over the next few months. Southampton were unaware of the extent of Sims' issues, but soon provided him with an external heart monitor and have allowed him to train with the club as he regains fitness. Sims hopes to have a final medical in January that will clear him to play and find a new club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 So 7 days in to the window no centre backs signed, no signing at all. No players in the last 6 months of their contract signed to longer deals, good young players allowed to get into last 6 months of deals too. looks like nothing has changed new manager the same old same old from the club.

Shetland Owl Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Moore said he had the targets lined up, but where are they. I am sure most clubs get players in a lot quicker than us, we need any to settle in as soon as possible. Ok we have saved a weeks wages but this happens all the time, we always make last minute signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wait for everyone else to sign players, then we get the dross no one else wants and pay double the price because we left it to the last minute. we need a centre back, we have over 7 days for that player to get used to playing with the other players. So what does DM do he waits till 31st January - another 9 league points dropped, further behind the play offs then he sign a player for a position we don't need who has not played for 6 months.

Guest Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Any potential signings will unfortunately be looking at how he’s handled Corbeanu and wonder if it’s the correct move Undoubtedly have an impact on Moores transfer window this now, he’s had a shocker with Corbeanu make no mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
