Market

Fleetwood Town say no — this time

The offer from Harrogate Town for Stephen McMullan was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

Fleetwood Town bid $680.0K for Luke O'Nien

The offer went to Sunderland this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Amankwah Forson

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Fleetwood Town have done the hard part with Norwich City, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

Fleetwood Town rebuffed over Nestory Irankunda

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Preston have kept their man, and Fleetwood Town go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Shaun Rooney in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Fleetwood Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Fleetwood Town and Jordan Gibson are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Transfer targets

Fleetwood Town ask about Tom Holmes

A loan enquiry to Luton Town: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad

The formation has left Tiago Arraygada behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Fleetwood Town will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Squad

Elliot Bonds moves up the pecking order

Nothing is announced when this happens and everybody knows. He is a bigger part of the plan at Fleetwood Town than he was a month ago, and the training ground worked that out before the team sheet said so.

Squad

Tiago Arraygada arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Tiago Arraygada has, at Fleetwood Town, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Tom Holmes

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Fleetwood Town have done the hard part with Luton Town, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Market

Luke Browne is a Fleetwood Town player

The fee is $550.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Notts County drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

The terraces

The town asked, and Fleetwood Town paid $550.0K

Luke Browne was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $550.0K. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Transfer targets

Cardiff City tell Fleetwood Town: Luke Pearce is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

A falling-out at Fleetwood Town

Shaun Rooney and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

Carlos Paternina gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Eyes on Stephen McMullan again

The phone has started ringing about Stephen McMullan again, and this time the name on the line is Harrogate Town. Fleetwood Town are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

11 new faces, and Fleetwood Town are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

In brief
