Summer Transfer Thread

[Super Ronnie Jepson]

The identity of this Cousins chappy is fast-becoming this summer's most compelling Wagatha Christie mystery.

 

[IndoMike]

Who is cousins?

The bloke whose name I always get wrong..

 

[IndoMike]

Matt Taylor was a goalie. By Cousins do you mean George Ray?

Yes. You can see how similar the names are..

 

[IndoMike]

Autocorrect of Grounds?!

I blame Hants...

 

[IndoMike]

One mistake on Exeweb and you're a gonner (and I mean "gonner", not gooner). It's a hard life keeping the ball moving on Exeweb, but somebody's gotta do it..
Sigh..

 

[Rosencrantz]

Grounds, Ray, Sweeny, Stubbs, Hartridge, Diabate, Pond, is this not a surfeit of centre backs?

Will Ray stay? He didn't in January when offered the choice.

And if we play three at the back there is a first choice three with three backups (one veteran, one still inexperienced but very promising start and one big prospect but untested at league level). So not really a surfeit, no.

(And Alfie isn't a candidate for conversion to striker either because he could be a top quality centre half and I have seen him play a few times ).

 

[grecIAN Harris]

Any talk of Wheeler coming back appears to be a tad fanciful as he hasn't been released by Wycombe. Or at least, he wasn't amongst the six names mentioned on SSN.

I think Ray's move in January was about budget movement etc. rather than whether we liked him or not.

Partly, but I think he was asked if he wanted to move to play regular football as his place had been taken here with Stubbs and Cheick. That situation hasn't changed. I don't think it's a case of we don't like him, just that there are players ahead of him now and he wants first team football.

The official statement on the Wycombe site is a little lacking in detail but the suggestion on twitter is that there are senior players who have been offered contracts but haven't made a decision yet - Wheeler may be one of those. He wasn't playing regularly at the end of the season and didn't get on the pitch at Wembley so may feel it's the right time to move on.

Six depart Adams Park

Contract talks underway.
