Another Signing Today?

[Skip155]

Morrell, Payne, Grant.

Suggests a further playing style evolve (not that anyone other than us believed that last season...) and more 'ball carriers' through the centre of the pitch as well, which we lacked last season.

Sounds like it might be an incentive based fee? Probably low fee and high sell-on?

Fee based on appearances and success next season according to the Echo article. Sounds like nothing much up front.

"Lincolnshire Live understands the move represents a good deal for the Imps, as the potential fee for Grant is thought to relate to appearances and the Imps’ success this season, rather than an up front payment."

EDIT - Skip beat me to it!

 

[Luke Imp]

I’m beginning to think that we were in control of the chain and maybe a deal is done on the exit of either H or Brunsky but only going to happen once we got Payne and Grant.

If anything is imminent, I doubt anyone we're likely to be selling will be involved tomorrow so team selections might tell us something.

 

[nlondonimp]

payne and grant would fit very well into the twin ten formation.
can both play wide as well.

dc did say he was looking at the 7,8,10,11 positions, and more flair required for L1. so far so good.

 

[hulloutpost]

Well I don't know anything about coaching footballers but the Cowleys do know a thing or two about that so it is safe to say that Sky along with the other know all pundits will be changing their long ball clichés this coming season. Or alternatively they stick with it and sound more ridiculous than they did last year.

WE are 6th fav’s for the championship.

KEY BIT IS ........................ "BALL CARRIERS"

 

[Luke Imp]

Let's hope Grant is getting stuck into his good mate Walker...

 

[buckielugger]

Probably to the gym to do more work outs on that groin.

he may be looking at splinters or these signingS could lift his game?
HOPE SO?

Yes hopefully.
Or maybe our captain might move into the coaching team...future manager maybe when that post-Cowleys time finally arrives??

KEY BIT IS ........................ "BALL CARRIERS"

i think another key thing for grant and payne could be ... here as permanent signings - rather than being pushed around on loan everywhere.

 

[devonexlondonimp]

I'm getting more and more convinced we are going without natural wingers as our chosen formation next season. Either wing backs or alternatively two sitting midfielders giving the full backs full licence to fly forward and provide the width. Fascinating stuff.

Your theory could be true,and you have mentioned it before.

What about the view that we have done a top dollar deal for Big John and he is heading off to the Championship?(subsidising all these other new signings)

Somebody is definitely going or DC has pulled off the mother of lowering expectations to other clubs and agents regarding our budget.

My expression to cover these events is:

"DC is hoovering up potential."

If Big John leaves then Pepperdines on Sincil Street are going to see their takings drastically reduced.
the departure has got to be Bruno or H................OR BOTH?

 

[brisimp]

I think maybe Bruno wil go. Hoping Toffolo stays was so consistent last year and another year at the club would be good for him

 

[Impartiality]

I am not convinced anyone is leaving. I believe this is the board backing the ambition of DC/NC. I also think if someone does leave it will be because the offer was to good to be turned down and DC/NC will want a further replacement.

Well it would seem one or two or maybe three big players may be having their chains pulled and on their way upwards.
If so, I do hope we get proper value for them for a change, and water-tight sell-on clauses where necessary.
Championship and beyond only deal in multi-millions these days, and that is the kind of money we should not be afraid to be moving towards.

 

[buckielugger]

I hope Toffolo stays too. Absolute key player.
But...he has high value too. So we shall have to see.

Looks like the salary bracket has took some hammering this week

 

[brisimp]

Bruno to Reading maybe ? One last look and a club he may get game time for and not sat on the bench . Just a thought

There is that of course, especially if we can attract the much hoped for "new" investment.
