TRANSFER WINDOW - SUMMER 2023

Don't see Newcastle or Blackburn letting Gilsenan or Murphy out on loan until January. Gilsenan in the pecking order is likely next in line if someone drops out of the match day squad. Given Blackburns small squad and policy of given youth a chance he could pick up game time. If he doesn't they'll likely organise something in January. Newcastle I think will want to keep him around to train with the seniors for awhile and they've got the U19s UEFA League. Think they'll want to impress in that to attract more young talent to the club. Unfortunately for Abankwah he'll have to bide his time sitting on the bench. Doubt Udinese will loan him out as they'll have to replace him if they do. Not sure on the Gilsenan call, maybe he was that before Moran was signed but surely now Moran pushes him further down the pecking order.

Wouldn't necessarily say so. Did mention it myself when Moran signed but Gilsenan can play left, right, and central. They'll have 9 on the bench with mostly attacking players.

Bloxham was actually on the bench ahead of Gilsenan at the weekend against Watford. So even with Moran on the bench they still had two wingers in Markanday who started last night and Bloxham. Think Gilsenan will get some minutes if he works hard and if not will likely get his loan in January.

At this stage it's probably best to wait because if he leaves now and doesn't work out he'll have already played for two teams so can't go back out on loan to another team. This late in the window teams might be looking to pad out squads mostly. Stay half a season at Blackburn and then see what opportunities are there come January.

Not a good start to the season for Charlton. Won their opening game but are on a five game losing run since that opening day win.

Some poor bastard stranded between clubs only to find his deal collapsed and now he has to go back cap in hand to his club. The hype!

Looking like a lot of Irish lads are going to be sitting on their holes or playing development football for the next few months if they can't get something sorted by tomorrow night. Hendrick, Coventry, Murphy, Abankwah, Gilsenan, Vata, Furlong, Kilkenny and Watson could all do with moves. And obviously Kelleher, but that's not going to happen.
