I see Rafferty hasn't featured for PNE in a while, if he is out of favour. Would it be worth considering approaching them, to get him on loan till the end of the season? I know there are rumours about Matheson being sent out on loan but for the lads development would a Championship or top 6 L1 club be better for the lad? |
I'm pretty sure Raf has either been injured or was sent off recently. Not sure which. Which is why he hasn't featured recently. He is normally a regular starter. | | | |

The reality is that clever recruitment is going to be necessary in the next seven months or so.
Whatever happens in this window, by the end of July we could potentially need three new centre backs to replace O’Connell, McShane and McNulty, a new right back to replace McLaughlin and a leftback which is a position we haven’t had a permanent specialist available in for five years, rather using a succession of loan players and blokes shifted from other positions.
In addition Ryan could be moving on as a look at his career sees him tend to go elsewhere as each contract expires.
Oh, and a new keeper would be desirable as well.
Mr Altman could be in demand! |
"Oh, and a new keeper would be desirable as well."
So Gavin Bazunu isn't likely to return?
No word regarding Jake Beesley?
Or Stephen Humphrys since his early tweet? | | | |

We have a far better chance of getting Luke on loan than raff James. I think wolves would be quite happy for him to be back here playing every week, I would guess only reason he has not been here all season is covid and them wanting to integrate him into their set up.
Time will tell! |
You are probably right and there is still plenty of time for Luke to make his Premier League debut, be sold on for a healthy profit and us get a substantial add on.
I saw Raff had been sent off an injury would explain his subsequent lack of appearances after his suspension was over.
Is the twitter account IOMDale linked one of the more reliable sources of information? Will we owe Palace anything if we sell Baah on? | |

Not sure how reliable the account is but I do know the original info came from The Telegraph. Whether you think that's reliable may come down to your political persuasion... |  | | |

I'd like to think their political leanings wouldn't make their transfer rumours unreliable. There is a long way from attracting interest to a player being transferred to another club of course. | |

Even the papers get it wrong. Remember that young lad Alan Nixon said we were getting on loan from Palace, for example? |  |

Scottish attacking midfielder? Nixon did also say we'd been talking to Evatt when we apparently hadn't.
Still, it'd be no surprise to learn that clubs are taking notice of Baah. | | | |

I suppose 'attracting interest' is a very very broad term. | |

So Telegraph second for accuracy although none have more than 40% reliability. Be interesting to see a breakdown based on club and or league. | |
| |
| 1st January ... on 10:29 - Jan 4 with 3398 views | IOMDale |
Very interesting.
At nearly 40% accuracy with 0.22 rumours per day, it does tend to suggest that the Guardian are more reticent about publishing rumours until there's a degree of certainty.
Also, some moves do appear to be 'on' but fall-through for whatever reason.
At 2.23 rumours per day and with an accuracy rating of 21.9%, the Star isn't covering itself in glory. | | | |

What you also need to remember is that agents are responsible for most newspaper/broadcast transfer rumours. Their motives are not always pure and a lot of the time the player doesn’t even know they are doing it.
Then there are those bandits who just make stuff up on Twitter or write bollox blogs having had no first-hand experience whatsoever. | |

Yes, Scott Banks, as Chaff says.
Also, I believe a certain someone who was formerly connected to our club fed Nixon that info with regards Evatt - and that certain someone got a bum steer from someone currently based at the club. | |

It's a moot point whether top level clubs would want to involve their youngsters in what is clearly a relegation battle, with no certainty of games being played, and less-strict Covid testing (apparently) |  |

Would you include Wolves in that if it came to considering loaning Luke back to us? | |

I believe that Rhys Bennett only signed a short-term contract with Carlisle until January, I wonder if it is worth offering him a deal. He is very experienced at league 1 level and can operate in a number of roles. | | | |

He's more experienced at League 2 level. I think that tells a story in itself. | |

Since he joined Dale in 2012, he’s spent four seasons in both league one and two. He could definitely do a job and more at our level, especially with his ability to play in so many roles. |  |

He’s also been getting rave reviews up there. I didn’t know he’d only signed till January. If that’s true I suspect he’ll have a lot of League One admirers, although he may just prefer to stay at Carlisle who stand a good chance of being in this league next season anyway. |  | | |

Rhys Bennett has just agreed a new deal to take him to the end of the season. | |

An offer he could barely refuse, although no doubt he'd have been looking for longer; but in the current climate, and with the chance to get a promotion under his belt, a no-brainer for him | |
