Swindon Town are eyeing free agents after missing out on transfer targets

Swindon Town signed nine players in the summer transfer window, but after Jacob Wakeling left Peterborough United late and was unable to secure late arrivals, Flynn felt his squad lacked the necessary size. to compete.

Flynn revealed that he will continue to look to strengthen his squad by bringing in players who are still under contract after the transfer window closes.

He say:
“If everyone is fit, I think we have 21 players and ideally I will try to get 23 players as soon as possible.

“We will find out next week [how easy it is to get good players out of contract], because I don’t want to leave him and I want to achieve that.

“We want stability and we want to know the team we are dealing with and the players we have until January. “We worked tirelessly [during the transfer period] and last night I slept like a baby because I was so tired looking at my phone, talking to different clubs, other players each other and different representatives.

“I thought I was late to a League One club, but he decided to go somewhere else. It was hard to accept because I thought we had crossed the line.

“Like I said, we’re going to look at the free agent market because we need some more bodies.”

Flynn added that a number of players he tried to sign over the summer remain at his disposal as he looks to complete his squad.

He say:
“There are one or two that I have talked to and looked at. “With Jacob [Wakeling] getting his salary back, we have a little bit more options to play with.

“I will look for the right players that I think will strengthen us and make us a better team.

“The reality is I wouldn’t sign players just for the sake of it, I could go straight in and get a late loan or do something like that or make a hasty decision.

“I won’t do things like that, I want players who will come in and make us better and I will continue to look for that.”

Despite the manager’s wishes to strengthen the team, the Robins started the campaign strongly.

They are unbeaten in their opening five league matches with two wins and one draw and currently have the largest goal difference in League Two with a difference of seven goals. Interviewed after last week’s 6-0 win over Crawley Town, Flynn said:
“It’s also a matter of entertainment. I want us to play attractive football. We have the players here to do that.

“We have to be lucky with injuries and hope we don’t miss key players for a long time.

“We’ve played that way the last few years at Newport – maybe not as good, in terms of movement and rotation. FIND OUT MORE
