Title: McCann on latest incomings
Post by: DonnyOsmond on June 13, 2025, 06:44:07 pm
Had an offer accepted for a center back from a Premier League team. I assume on loan?

Having talks with another club for a wide forward.

Goalkeepers close.

Did you see the smirk on his face when he mentioned the keeper?

Why would that be?

All sounds very promising. I'm just wondering if there's any centre backs on u21 duty at the mo who could fit the bill.

Personally I reckon we need a playmaker too  for that left of midfield but I think recruitment so far has been fairly decent.

Listened again, Donny, and yes there’s a wry smile on that one.

We will dip into the loan market no question that will be when he’s assessed the squad and who he feels needs a move out and where he feels we need additional players. 2/3 loans I feel we will take up when premier and championship squads are finalised the rest looks like we are getting permanent deals

Well he's not been getting a game in midfield.

Love that grin about the goalkeeper; he knows - we know - has to be TLT !
Title: Re: McCann on latest incomings
Post by: drfchound on June 13, 2025, 07:39:06 pm
Of course we will be taking players on loan, as will every club in the division.
It sounds like we already are close to getting one PL defender doesn’t it.

When he scratched his head and grinned was a massive tell.

We have such a great manager. He is genuinely excited about the new season, has delayed his family holiday to get deals done and he really wants to be here.  I hope he stays for years and years - great manager!!!

With that grin on his face it’s got to be TLT or TSL.

I know there are strong reports about TSL but nothing official from Bolton
Omg how long do we have to suffer to know which one it is!
Title: Re: McCann on latest incomings
Post by: DearneValleyRover on June 14, 2025, 09:41:40 am
It isn’t TSL, he’s definitely going to Bolton
Title: Re: McCann on latest incomings
Post by: glosterred on June 14, 2025, 01:44:52 pm
If it is TSL, and I don’t know anymore than anyone else on here, it will not be announced until England U21’s have finished their games in the the Euro U21 comp that doesn’t finish (the final) on the 28 Jun.

Totally agree he was excited and happy about the goal keeper with that smile

Wonder if the centre back could  be Rhys Bennett from Man Utd , still under contract spent last season at fleetwood town played a fair few league 2 games and loves a yellow card

Could the wide forward be Wilks ?

With that grin it tells you it’s TSL.

He said we’re talking to a club. Wilks is a free agent.

If you were only relying on rumours in the media then the wide player would be Joe Grey, keeper would be Lo-Tutala and the centre back a loanee from a Premier League side.
Title: Re: McCann on latest incomings
Post by: Danmckay456 on June 15, 2025, 07:39:01 am
Could be some truth in the Joe Grey we would have to pay compensation for him plus we’ve had some good business with Hartlepool. Also I imagine Copps keeps his ear to the ground that way not far from where he was playing
Title: Re: McCann on latest incomings
Post by: Danmckay456 on June 15, 2025, 07:52:14 am
The keeper definitely is Him , also McCann has admitted we have had an offer accepted from a premier league side for a defender
Title: Re: McCann on latest incomings
Post by: Chris Black come back on June 15, 2025, 07:59:23 am
I also don’t believe we would start the season with just a single Premier League loanee. That would likely make us an outlier in League One. If we do end up with more than the defender then there really will have to be some departures. Could be just the younger lads on loan or Close and / or Westbrooke.

The Joe Grey rumour has resurfaced on Twitter from the Hartlepool side. We’d be taking a real punt here wouldn’t we? Doesn’t appear to have pulled up any trees in the National League, although he has played a lot of games for his age which is something.
Title: Re: McCann on latest incomings
Post by: northern soul on June 15, 2025, 08:44:59 am
A bit of wild speculation, but could the CB be Rhys williams from Liverpool. Out on loan at Morecambe last year, one of their better players per the Morecambe forum?

Interesting shout. In the last year of his contract and likely to leave… in theory it would be nice to see us buy a player that we could develop rather than loan someone to develop for another club.

Mate of mine is a longtime Pools ST holder and seems to think we are in for Grey and sent me this
“ Grey came through the ranks of the  famed  Wallsend boys club (Shearer, Gazza  Carrick  and a heap more).
 Not the tallest plays out wide or up front. Can be a handful.
22 yr old and has played well over 100 games and has an eye for goal. Works his socks off.
Should be playing in the football league.
Currently out of contract but we would still get a smaller fee as came through our youth set up.
Dave Challoner at Stockport a big fan of Grey.”
