Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (28 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

we'll be lucky to get £5m for Wright.

He’s averaged a goal every other game for two seasons, like fuck would we!

if hes that good, why do we want to sell him?

 

[Gint11]

Burroughs and Howley have a year option I think same as Allen. Can’t see us taking it up tho.

Correct.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I would like a couple signings in before Middle of June if possible. Would be nice.

 

[shmmeee]

if hes that good, why do we want to sell him?

There’s no if. Those are his stats.

Be annoyed if we sold him for any less than 10 tbh, with the way transfer fees are i think that could climb higher too. I say that as someone who is raging at his run of form/disinterest, but his goals record does somewhat speak for itself.

 

[Domo]

There’s no if. Those are his stats.

so why do we want to sell him?

 

[shmmeee]

so why do we want to sell him?

Because when he’s not scoring goals he’s the most frustrating player ever to pull on the shirt.

 

[fatso]

I wouldn’t say major overhaul

the core of the team is there

I'd say in an ideal situation we'd move 10 players on.
Is that a major overhaul? Possibly, but some will probably want to go to get first team football,
like, Binks, Bidwell, Eccles, Collins, Allen, Raphael.

Some we need to improve on, like, Simms, Wright, BTA, JDS, Wilson.

That's 10 players, most are decent at Championship level, but won't get you out of the Championship, and certainly won't be good enough for the Premier League.

 

[Domo]

hes a good player tho....stats don't lie

we'd only try and sign another player wiht the same stats. Something was working to allow him to score so many last season, isnt it more of a question of service?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Willian

 

[SBT]

Lampard at least has players he trusts in midfield, which can’t be said at ST. So beyond the obvious holes at LB and GK, you’d imagine strikers would be the priority.

I think it’s how he’s used in this system, Lampard appears to me to want out and out wingers who cut back to allow overlapping fullbacks or put a cross on. Also the ST I he think he wants is an out and out target forward, someone who holds the ball up, brings others into space and attacks space in the air to allow Rudoni and Torp in. Sadly don’t think Wright thrives in either of these roles

 

[Perennial Lurker]

For me the squad doesn't need a lot of work, and I can see Lampard wanting a couple of loanees

GK: Dovin , new signing, Wilson
Lb : Brau, DaSilva , release Bidwell
Rb : Milan , new signing
Cbs: Kitching , Thomas , new signing , lose Binks keep Lati
Cm : lose Sheaf and Allen . Grimes , Eccles , Torp and Rudoni with a new cm and a loanee
Rw : Sakamoto , new signing
Lw : EMC , keep Paterson/new signing
Cf: keep BTA and Simms get a new signing and a loanee
Would loan out Bassette , Obikwu, Rodrigues and Dausch and release the others

So maybe 6-8 new signings or / and a couple of decent loanees

bidwell only signed an extension in january, he wont be released.
Id keep Allen - sell sheaf
keeping pato would require another contract for him.

You’d keep BTA and Simms?

I’d sell them both

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I hope we bring in an energetic midfielder who wants to play further forward that Sheaf does and another winger with pace.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If we go for the attacking equivalents of Grimes it bodes well

 

[Domo]

when torp is back do you drop sheaf and play grims and torp together ? feel like thats how it would go

 

[Ccfcisparks]

If we could get Aasgard in, a number 8 in the mould of Wouter Burger and get rid of Sheaf I think we would be in really good stead.

do we assume they'll be a mass exodus from luton?

Aasgard yes but Burger isn't an upgrade on Sheaf , he can look very laboured

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

do we assume they'll be a mass exodus from luton?

I think it’s fair to assume with the wages some of them will be on. Aasgard in particular has been told he needs to be in a higher league if he wants to continue to be a international and apparently has a release clause

 

[Ccfcisparks]

do we assume they'll be a mass exodus from luton?

Apparently Brighton is good friends with a friend of Aasgaard and there is a release clause upon relegation for him.

You missed Wright out. Assuming he stays one of BTA and Simms will probably go.

 

[edgy]

Sell:

Wilson
Binks
Bidwell
Sheaf
Simms or Wright
BTA

Release:

Allen
Patterson

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I can see all 3 going to be honest.

Replace with a winger who can play either side and 2 strikers.

I wouldnt be adverse to that. The front line needs freshening up a lot.

 

[Marty]

Would anybody else be looking to move Torp on? Clearly talented but can't keep himself fit and ends up missing half the season due to that.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Sell:

Wilson
Binks
Bidwell
Sheaf
Simms or Wright
BTA

Release:

Allen
Patterson

We could not even give Collins away

Bidwell signed a new contract

How do you stop a player getting injured ?

 

[Matt smith]

Definitely keep Torp, full pre season under Lampard and I think he’ll be a very good player for us next season

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Apparently Brighton is good friends with a friend of Aasgaard and there is a release clause upon relegation for him.

Isn't Thor from Aasgaaard

 

[Marty]

How do you stop a player getting injured ?

It's a part of the game but if someone isn't robust enough and will miss half a season every year, it raises questions for me, I like him and think he's decent.
