Upset they got relegated to league 2. Championship and league 1 teams monitoring.

under 22 and offered a new deal so they are due compensation under the rules. Perhaps this is what scared off the clubs higher up?

I know nothing of him....but if he is better than what we have, then its a welcome addition.
Still feel we are 2 (proper) defenders and a striker short though !!

Broomo.....Out if interest, is Hartigan the player you knew about ??
Is he the signing that had hit a stumbling block ?

I'll answer. Doubt we'd have a stumbling block with him if we got him on a free. Heard he had a medical today and it was 100% done. We are still looking to bring a player in for a fee. Before it was Tom Nichols but our bid wasn't deemed true to value. Unclear as to who the player for a fee would be.

That’s not true, there would be a compensation fee involved with Hartigan given his age, so that could have been the stumbling block.

Ah, yes. I thought the rules don't apply if you are 23 or above.
Edit: After further inspection. He is 22. Apologies Mr. Musings.

No worries mate.

I reckon when Clough said he has a choice of 2 it was this guy and stirk.

This is where Stirk is playing catch up. He’s only eight months younger than Hartigan, but the latter has around five times more senior appearances.

[trenty]

Thought we had enough midfielders and that’s why we didn’t sign the lad from Scotland??

[lifestags]

Yeah but then he started saying stuff like “if he’s a good player we will sign him, no matter what position they are in, we just want good players”

Taking the Football Manager approach.

No wonder your user name is what it is, you've been wrong about everything Which username do you use when you aren't guessing?

[BH_Stag]

Think it would be better to hold out until the last week or two of the window and see what strikers become available. You’d think once players start to realise they’re not first choice and don’t expect to play much then the landscape could change entirely.

[AshoverStag]

I don’t mind who posts rumoured related tbh

If people keep putting them off we won’t have any thing to read

Keep the comments coming COYS

Don't know what you're problem is. I have most definitely not been wrong about everything. I have confirmed every signing. Also things change in football very quickly. You should be thanking me that I am here to confirm rumours or put an end to it.

I think we need strengthening at centre back and up front ASAP

[AnonAlias]

We need a decent centre back. A clinical striker.

[stagmanrob]

Genuine and not made up for bites....

Just drove past the ground at 10 to 8 with work, and Stevo was there (so a late one for him) going into the offices at the QLE with a bloke behind him pulling along one of those suitcase trolley things you'd take on as hand luggage.

Bloke had medium longish black hair slicked back.
Could have been a media bloke with his equipment, or it could be a new signing.

But something is happening before Saturday for Stevo to be strutting around at this hour in his blue suit and with his shades on.

I agree, the sooner the better but they were clearly struggling to sign a striker so have moved on to another midfielder rather than choosing to wait. They must know we need a striker or we wouldn’t have been chasing some previously

Clough just said on notts tv that the player were close to signing is a forward player.

no he didn't.

He said:
"Ideally we'd like another forward player.
"The owners put in a couple of substantial bids for strikers. We weren't successful."
"I think we're getting pretty close with bringing another player in on a permanent."

[lifestags]

It basically means we’re getting closer to a permanent signing and we want a forward player. A forward player will be signed then..

that's your interpretation, which may or may not be correct.

What he actually said was (paraphrased, but exact quotes in the Notts TV thread):

Ideally we'd like another forward player.

We tried. We weren't successful.

We're getting pretty close with bringing another player in.

[Billy the fish]

No it means we can’t get the forwards we want within our budget so we will add a another attacking midfielder.

I thought Hartigan was not an attacking midfielder………..all very confusing. The plot thickens

According to Wikipedia he’s scored 5 goals in 166 appearances so I think it’s fair to say he’s not an attacking midfielder!
