Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (123 Viewers)

[Hobo]

In this case I’d be looking at someone like Callum Doyle (v unlikely to actually be him) who could play LB and LCB so they could tuck across to form that back 3 on the ball without Grimes having to drop. Can’t imagine KKH will be used like this in the same way MVE was at times.

It won't be Doyle because Man City want £15m for him. Even if he goes for less I can still see it being £12m. Think we need Gyokeres money and MVE to go to see any chance of that one happening.

I think the Spanish lad has played FB and CB. His dad certainly played CB and apparently was very good. Grimes likes to drop deep so all options are in front of him. It's the way he plays I can't see that changing. He only pushes on when we get into the final third.

He will never be Premier Leauge quality

We’re not in the premier league

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We’re not in the premier league

Yeah the guy said hes not premier league quality yet.

 

[iflynno]

I think it's quite clear we won't be splashing much more cash without any outgoings.

The squad is pretty full as it is. Need to shift on 2 or 3 that aren't up to the level, then we can add a bit more quality.

Unless of course MVE or Rudoni gets sold for big money, but even then there isn't much squad space left. Time for a few to go out the door.

We've spent the gyokeres money on KKH

 

[Nick]

£12m is a LOT for a Championship defender.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Even if there was no more movement in or out I’d still absolutely fancy us for a top 6 finish.

 

[edgy]

I don't believe that personally.

 

[SleepyGinger]

The money spent on KKH will be funded by the inevitable MVE sale.

Hence ‘v unlikely to actually be him’.

Yes, but the point re Grimes is that opposition will see that as our only way out and will try to cut off supply either to him or his options once he has it. We need to be able to vary the approach to get out. Someone like Doyle means you could switch the exit point to pull the opposition in another direction.

 

[SBT]

I think KKH will be the starting LB until Milan is sold.

Inevitable, with no bids currently made

 

[fatso]

We still have the MVE money to come.

 

[Kingokings204]

I think it’s fair to assume as we haven’t even got the Vik money yet that this is the squad and until things change then this is it.
Bar hopefully a goalkeeper .

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Have we accepted a bid?

I agree we can't afford to rely on playing out through one man. That's why we were so poor before Grimes came, because Sheaf was struggling with the responsibility of it and not having Hamer as an option. But Grimes is better at it than Sheaf anyway.

 

[Hobo]

Have we accepted a bid?

Or even received an offer?

 

[SleepyGinger]

No we have signed the MVE replacement before he is sold, it’s what smart clubs do lads.

 

[David O'Day]

I know he's on the way to rangers, I wish he was on his way to us instead

why? he's ok

 

[JSL]

Isaac Moore supposedly in advanced talks to go to Forest Green on loan

A level lower than id like him to go to be honest

 

[theskyisthelimit]

A level lower than id like him to go to be honest

Would you prefer him there than Ayr United or not?

 

[Hobo]

Anyone with a football brain can see he has the raw attributes

He needs to put some talcum powder on those raw attributes

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Would you prefer him there than Ayr United or not?

Is that the 2 options for a loan?

Ayr or forest green?

 

[Martw]

Rather it Gassama tbf

I don't believe that personally.

Obviously none of us actually know but I suspect that could be true

 

[theskyisthelimit]

No just we always seem to send people to Scotland and I remember Howley going to Ayr. Just wondered if it was preferential to FGR

I think someone like Walsall would have been perfect

 

[TomRad85]

He has no mens football under his belt yet does he? Tbh i don't think there's much between League 2 and the National League and FGR will probably be up there. Maybe if he excels he'll move up the ladder in Jan.

Mental that he's in training at RB if that's the case

Judging by your stockports, notts countys etc the nl is maybe better

 

[theskyisthelimit]

Yeah I'd always would have thought Walsall would be a good place for our youth prospects, suppose the one drawback would be they could stay at home and listening to people like Peter Crouch and other professionals, they always said moving out whilst on loan made them really grow up

 

[SBT]

He is not good enough for where we want to be.

Assuming that our ambitions are still to be a regular top 6 team then Dasilva (at his best) is plenty good enough. And yes, I’m aware that’s a pretty big caveat!

 

[fatso]

Have we accepted a bid?

We will, I wouldn't be suprised if a deal hasn't already been in the pipeline for a while, Doug must of been confident of one to have brought in KKH for good money.
KKH hasn't come here to be sat on the bench, so it looks like we might make a decent profit on MvE to (hopefully) re invest.

 

[ClarkeZ]

There is no doubt. Da Silva and Brau will be competing for left back berth.

Da Silva had a very good end to the season and has represented Wales well too.

Bidwell will be sold/moved on.

That is really worrisome if so.

Bear in mind players can't always just walk into the starting 11 and perform instantly with new team mates, tactics, playing ethos etc.

Throwing Brau in instantly, even if he's planned to be the long term starter, could be a mistake. If his defensive responsibility especially isn't absolutely second nature by season opener then I expect him to have minutes off the bench initially to get match experience. Better that than lose confidence if he makes mistakes due to decision making in an unfamilar system for example.

Rudi took a few games to reach his peak when he arrived (not suggesting he started badly) but the defensive risk of his position is obviously much lower.
