Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (39 Viewers)

[TomRad85]

I think a little and large combination of McBurnie and Adam Armstrong would do really well

I just think we need to move on Simms and BTA, Wright is an entirely different convo, genuinely not sure what to do with him atm, probably keep unless the fee is huge.. It makes sense for 1 of the 2 replacement to be a free as we can't be spunking out on every player. I've seen far more laughable suggestions than McBurnie, although i think i'd still prefer Riis.

McBurnie and Riis would not be a bad couple of signings if we could shift Simms and BTA for £6m+.

forward options of

LW- Wright, EMC
St- Riis, Mcburnie
Rw - Sakamoto, New RW

could be a lot worse.

would allow us to divert funds mainly into a quality 8, New LB, New CB and a backup RB

I was on a stag do a couple of weeks back with the son of one of the youth coaches Leicester and he said the club are expecting a 10 point deduction next season. That will probably be halved once they go through the appeals though

Yeh i think essentially trading Simms and BTA for Riis and McBurnie and coming out of it £6 million+ up would represent excellent business.

I'd actually pay out for Salech though and go Riis and Salech. That's the winner for me.

Also would be big fan of us looking a Lewis O’Brien. Can see us playing more of the 4-3-3 next season where our midfield three almost become vertical.

Think O’Brien would do a great job linking the team together although looks like he might be off to La Liga.

His wages would be a problem. Especially when Forest will probably try to move him on permanently as well.

 

[Balli001]

A telling off knowing the bollockless EFL

Im sure they wanted to throw the book at Leicester then they got promoted. Lets see what they can hit them with now they are back

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

He's a left back

He played Right wing last night, and he was effective there, Ramsey was the full back behind him

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Ayase Ueda, 26 year old striker, would be a cracking signing, plays in Holland, international for Japan and value is about £5-6 million

 

[mmttww]

Don't want McBurnie anywhere near my club.

 

[JSL]

Riis and McBurnie? Are you serious? the pair of them have only scored 16 goals in the last year!!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Riis and McBurnie? Are you serious? the pair of them have only scored 16 goals in the last year!!

Our current strike force has scored 10. Btw

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Riis scored 12 for a Preston in a relegation battle who struggled for goals this season
(25% of Preston’s goals were scored by Riis this season in the league)

 

[JSL]

I dont think so. Wright has scored almost 10 on his own

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I dont think so. Wright has scored almost 10 on his own

Most from the LW with 3 from CF

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I dont think so. Wright has scored almost 10 on his own

Yes and if you read my post I was suggesting Riis and Mcburnie as replacement for Simms and BTA

 

[mmttww]

Don't we want to aim a bit higher than a clogger like McBurnie (who's a violent scumbag by all accounts) and a striker with a 1 in 4 record at the age of 26 in Riis?

Wasn’t aware of the violent history, what did he do?

Unfortunately money is finite and making £6m on our forwards and replacing with those two, which means we can funnel money into a game winning number 8, a quality LB and backup for RW and RB which have all been problem areas seems like better business to me

Riis’ record is for a team that notoriously struggles for goals I think in a side that score loads he’d score a lot more

 

[PVA]

We can do better than McBurnie, he's shite.

 

[Briles]

Heard a whisper about Caleb Wiley

 

[mmttww]

He's been a busy boy. Have a read of his wiki.

 

[mmttww]

Just feel like people's view of him is skewed by his performances against us. He's been at Preston for years. You'd have thought someone would've seen potential or value in him by now if it was there.

 

[Marty]

The 3 we have, are all the wrong type of strikers we need for the system we play. They all want to run in behind or played to their feet. We need someone to go direct in the air, win the first/second balls and build the attack a lot higher up the pitch. Don't think Riis is a bad suggestion tbf. If we can get 2 that score 10-15, but allow us to take advantage of the way we play better, I think we'll be onto a winner. I don't think it helps defensively either with the ball constantly coming back as it just won't stick up front.

 

[WebbCCFC]

Luka Kulenovic wouldn't be a bad option to have. 6 foot 2, Bosnian international, linked with Werder Bremen in January and had a decent season for a poor team in the Eredevisie

 

[David O'Day]

Heard a whisper about Caleb Wiley

We'd need to get rid of both left backs before that happened.

Promising player though.

 

[David O'Day]

He played Right wing last night, and he was effective there, Ramsey was the full back behind him

No, he played RWB and Ramsey played RCB.

He's naturally a LB though.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Fisnik Asllani, 18 goals in 32 games this season in Bundesliga 2, on loan from Hoffenheim. 6ft2, 22 years old, plays for Kosovo.

Scores a good variety of goals and helped his unfancied team to third in the league

 

[Balli001]

No, he played RWB and Ramsey played RCB.

He's naturally a LB though.

Seemed very much RW to me.

 

[SBT]

Are we all convinced after two games of floating in crosses against Sunderland’s parked bus that the only way we can score goals is if we have two big lumps up front? Surely we want to be a bit more sophisticated than that?

 

[SBT]

Latte Lath went from Boro to Atlanta for 20m+. He has a very similar career record to Wright plus Wright has the premium of being a US international, should a club from the MLS be interested in him.

Any MLS team would want him, but only Atlanta really have the buying power. Don’t see any of the other teams shelling out £20m in transfer fees.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

McBurnie is a laughable suggestion. Total prick and would want high wages. Wouldn't want him anywhere near the club.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He is likely to bulk out in the next few years which will allow him to hold off the defenders who are taking the ball from him rather too easily.

My concern is more about whether his temperament and character makes him a bit disagreeable if he is not getting game time.

Lampard did suggest he got some game time a few weeks ago because he wanted to play and worked hard in training. I think it's easier to work with somebody who believes they should be playing than somebody who doesn't care.

I agree with you he's got a lot to learn in how to manage centre backs, what movements to make and when.

Under Lampard, we have the highest amount of crosses in the league. This is the same as Lampard at Chelsea and at Derby. As a manager, he wants people to go wide, overlap and get balls into the box. Were patient in not just aimlessly throwing crosses in every second, but take time to get people into the box.

From what I can see the striker role, is to hold the ball up so we can attack vertically to allow the wingers and 8s to get forward. Also to occupy centre backs to allow the 8s to crash the box.

As such think a target forward who has experience in this would be the target for this role?
