Off the top of my head- Gary McAllister and Ali Mauchlen, both from Motherwell. Phil Gee and Ian Ormondroyd from Derby (and an actual rare swap deal!)

That was part of the same deal, wasn't it? £2m for the pair. I think it was so Man Utd could shaft Stoke out of a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In todays social media age, they make no sense. Two seperate announcements mean twice the social media traffic, likes/comments/shares etc. Good point, I am not a social media afficinado. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Teapot Posted 30 June 2021 Share Posted 30 June 2021 We're all assuming this is happening but is it contigent on something else? Eg - another midfielder moving on or our budget need being greater elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 30 June 2021 Share Posted 30 June 2021 3 hours ago, StriderHiryu said: The Daka deal mentions he joins us from July 1st, so as predicted by many, that date is important for book keeping / accounting / FFP. So given it's 1st July tomorrow, reckon that's when new signing number 2 is announced! Well and that's just when contracts generally start... His RB contract will expire today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defensive qualities I suspect were considered acceptable as his attacking side was considered a good trade off. Driving into the box at full pace meant you risked the mistimed tackle and gave him the options for a, pull back, square ball or shot at goal. Chilwell now being encouraged to attack the box and with composure so much more of a threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no recollection at all of Owen McGee!! For fans of my vintage it sometimes doesn't seem real that we're now buying players that the likes of Liverpool want, rather than free transfers from Darlington. Talking of which, isn't that where Coatsworth came from too? Was he part of a double switch or was he a headline making solo transfer?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep i seem to recall when brian little came over we got Gary Coatsworth and i think Paul fitzpatrick? At same time...not sure if both were signed as defenders outright or given utility player titles. I liked how players back then were often classed as "utility players" grayson being one of our very best for i think £50k from leeds from memory.
