I have heard an unconfirmed report that Fleetwood Town defender Josh Earl is joining Town in January.
I didn't know who he was, and looked him up.
Does anyone have any evidence behind this rumour?

If there is any truth in this he'll likely be a replacement for Yuta who's out of contract at the end of the season. The club will probably look to cash in during the January window and replace with a bargain basement alternative on a 3rd of the wages instead of trying to tie Yuta down to a longer deal. It's the town way.

We'd be stupid not to be looking at replacements now, or trying to generate transfer funds if we can. |

He was looked after here during his injury, looks to be enjoying his football and still gets picked for his national team. The club should be going all out to tie him down to a new deal. You're never going to build a good squad if you're penny pinching at every opportunity. |

As a serious Town fan for over 60 years, I wouldn't drop this rumour into the mix if it were mere "tittle-tattle". I can't reveal my source, but the person is ITK. |

Surely we don't need to 'penny pinch' anymore do we...it's a new era ...milk and honey and all that ?

Tbh yuta looks a really good player, he must massively regret signing for town for various different reasons. Be nice if we replaced him with quality though, not another Edwards. |

You're never going to build a good squad if you're penny pinching at every opportunity. Pretty sure when he signed it was well known he was only using us to put himself in the shop window for a bigger, better deal at a bigger club. Whilst I do like Yuta and would love for us to sign him for longer, I dont think anything would have changed from his point of view. Regardless of injury unfortunately. |

Trying and failing to not join in with cynicism and/or negativity, especially on a rumour (an unconfirmed rumour at that), but why do we hope to move up the league by having 25+ year olds from lower divisions?
We didn't fly in the PL signing Ince, Malone, Willyams. We haven't been amazing with Turton, Ruffels, Kasumu. At least Rudoni has youth on his side and the potential to grow - as he has been showing. For every Toffolo there are probably about 8 Jayson Leutwilers, Richard Keoghs, Will Boyles.
That's not saying that signings from the Championship and above are guaranteed successes (Andy King, Jordan Smith, Connor Mahoney, Tommy Elphick, Rolando Aarons, etc)
I give any player who signs for Town the benefit of being able to shape my opinion, but it just seems like we want quantity over quality sometimes. If we have an eternal small budget (fair enough if we do, we need to be sensible with it), then why not pool it and save up for a bit better quality than players that no teams above the bottom 5 in the Championship would consider? Is that us being 'more clever' in the transfer market than others or vice versa?

(I get that Earl is only roughly a year older but I feel like signing at 23 is more sensible than a 25 year old). |

Unfortunately, no-one has commented on the veracity of this rumour.
Surely, there must be someone close to the Club who could investigate and let us know.

Don't know anything about the rumour mate, but I remember Earl being by far the best player on the pitch when we beat Preston 1-0 at home midweek under Carlos in what was one of the very worst games of football ever played. He caused us lots of problems down their left and looked to have the attributes to make it at this level on that showing. Was surprised that he ended up moving to Fleetwood. Tall, athletic and a good left peg. Not sure why it didn't work out at Preston. Maybe that one game was his highlight.

I don’t think he has to go if he doesn’t want to and should have plenty of suitors in the summer. |

I don’t think he has to go if he doesn’t want to and should have plenty of suitors in the summer. The myth that Nakayma will have much higher clubs queing up for him, for me is a bit strange. He was out of contract at a relegated club from the Netherlands and since being with us has hardly impressed to be honest. People talk about his technical "quaility" , i think people forget he is a left back/ left sided centre half and struggles a lot of the time with the defensive side of the game, which is his prime responsability. |

I think when fit in a decent back 4 he would be a real asset. He has good ball control and reads the game well. An issue for any of our better players is they don’t have much quality around them. Hogg is a really solid player but imagine a fit and firing Rudoni & Wiles playing through the middle. Pushing forward to boost the attack and dropping back when needed in defence. We see this with other teams and the extra options it gives makes a huge difference. Just having players around you who can pass consistently well changes the dynamic hugely. It isn’t just the player but the players around them that shape how well they perform. |

Ok because of that, should we just keep picking him week in week out, although he is struggling to handle this league physically? |
