CASH STRAPPED BELEAGUERED Wrexham missing out on their top transfer target.

Serves us right for our penny pinching.

Watch Palmer or Dalby get a hattrick at Tranmere today. It was all just to motivate them .

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

If either do that should be enough to secure the 3 points right?

In a 5-4 defeat he means.

No guarantees

Armstrong staying at Harrogate. Paperwork not completed in time

 

[DippyDon]

I can’t help but feel a little bit of smug satisfaction, despite fully understanding that this is football and until there’s a contract signed anything can happen

 

[Master D]

Tinpot stuff from both clubs, Harrogate officially announcing it before it was totally done FFS.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Can't you just loan Armstrong until January?

 

[Bottega Don]

Just seen Tranmere signed Rob Apter last night

A really special player, was one of the very few players in our team last year that was enjoyable to watch. Very one footed but that one foot is incredible

 

[Son of Cod]

Yeah, he was very much a winger when he was on loan here before too and looked very good before he picked up an injury. At the same time as Edwards, we also had Tyreik Wright on loan on the other wing and Edwards made a much bigger impact than Wright, although Wright seemed to then kick on a bit quicker.

I suspect Egbo will be at full back and Edwards will then play further ahead.

Ah I didn't realise you'd already had him. Have you signed him on a permanent deal yesterday then?

 

[AusGill]

The loan window closed at the same time. I think if paperwork not done, that’s it.

Anyone confirm if it’s officially not done? Heard conflicting reports.

Both teams have released statements on Twitter or X or whatever it is now

Obviously the Armstrong deal is a massive lol for everyone outside of Wrexham/Harrogate but the whole waiting until the last second by football clubs on the whole is so ridiculous, mistakes like this are inevitable.

Clarke Harris was going to Bristol Rovers for 800k and suffered the same fate.

1.3m across the 3rd and 4th division nulled because of late paperwork. I get brinkmanship and negotiation but clubs need to work together a bit more IMO to try an work the day before the deadline instead of all giving into the chaos.

Club Statement - Luke Armstrong

An EFL spokesperson has today confirmed the following... "The registration of Luke Armstrong from Harrogate to Wrexham has been rejected on the basis of the paperwork not being submitted by the necessary deadline." As a result, Luke remains a Harrogate Town player.

Totally bloody incompetent.

 

[Ellis]

at least you were in for a striker for a deal to collapse.

I'm not sure why the league doesn't allow some leeway like the Premier league does with transfers that are close- submit a deal sheet before the deadline and then you have two hours to finalise the paperwork.

I’m sure they do?

 

[EnglishRed]

I’m sure they do?

Well I thought that too but not according to the press in Bristol.

 

[Master D]

Latest rumour is that Armstrong didn't get to the ground on time to sort it all out. It's still our fault for not getting business done before the last few hours.

I don't get why he even needed to be there in person in this day and age though apart from to presumably star in a silly video for Twitter. Surely things are signed electronically these days and a medical wouldn't have been a worry considering he never misses a game through injury really.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

This meeting could have been an email.

I know he’d been booked in for a medical here so I don’t know if that affected anything, though we are so close to the M1 I can’t imagine it would

 

[Chief Rocka]

Seems like Swindon tried a late bid for Umerah at 9pm last night, fee was offered in 3 instalments over 3 years, cheeky fuckers tried to buy a player on tick.

 

[Conker]

We are after a free agent striker lol.

That’s common practice.

 

[Tallow]

Will Armstrong give 100% commitment on the pitch for Harrogate now?

 

[Chief Rocka]

That’s common practice.

Aye their first offer was magic beans.

 

[GTFCfish]

Will Armstrong give 100% commitment on the pitch for Harrogate now?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Will Armstrong give 100% commitment on the pitch for Harrogate now?

If I were Harrogate I’d make him train with the youth team
