Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (66 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Didn’t robins say that’s what hapoened ?

Only once the coach got close to McDonalds on the service station

[Saddlebrains]

I remember Robins doing an interview on 5 Live where he said that both Hamer and Gyokeres were telling the others on the coach on the way back from the 2023 Playoff Final that they would be leaving; is that not the case?

Everyone at the club knew Vik was off tbf

Fucking VAR again

There's no evidence Hamer approached Robins on the coach on the way home and told him he wanted to leave.

Robins confirmed this in person at the Bedworth supporters club. I was there and he 100% said it

Its a shame. Hamerpilled cucks are all around us on this forum.

 

[SleepyGinger]

I think Gyokeres was gone even had we beaten Luton that day

 

[baldy]

Did he drop what he was carrying?

He's moving into a rubbish dump?

 

[Chris1987]

He's not the only one with this agenda and it's very strange.

Yes and in the same breath he conveniently becomes amnesic regarding the fact that Simms & Wright arrived very quickly as Gyokeres replacements.

 

[David O'Day]

Yes.

so not likely then

Prompts an interesting question though: we effectively ‘lost’ a season post-Hamer, with the lack of creativity / drive from midfield, but gained £15m.

Give or take, that £15m - arguably/ultimately - allowed us to bring in: MVE (£3.4m), Rudoni (£5m), Mason Clarke (£4.25m), Saka (£1.2m) and, say, Thomas (£2m).

So, assuming that’s ’the model’, are we all happy effectively ‘burning’ a season after the big sales - assuming that we wait for the right replacements and the longer term trajectory of the club is positive (which is seems to be)?

For me, it’s a resounding yes - but we need to remember that after the next big sale: MVE, Rudoni, Wright etc - that £15m is now, conservatively, worth £30m/£40m, and we’re a better overall team for it.

The key is the replacements. Brentford lost their 2 best players (Watkins & Benrahma) and still got promoted - they didn't burn or lose a season

Clearly our replacements fell through and we had to get Ayari. We were still pushing for Swift on deadline day IIRC (glad we missed out)

Was also the recruitment teams first window - the KKH deal points to us being more prepared for departures than before

People often refer to the Brentford or Brighton model as being the bar to hit, but the one I'd prefer is Fulham. Nothing extravagant, not relying on eye watering fees outgoing or incoming, just sustainable incremental progress. Granted their owner is minted.

Was gonna say, Shad Khan is a billionaire lol

 

[mark82]

Is it really a myth? @mark82

Who knows. Maybe just misinterpreted what Robins had said in the interview.

 

[NWSkyblue]

Angus Gunn rumour on twitter. 12 month contract. Good back up, cover for a year?

Better than the other options we have.

Another JH guarantee

I saw his name mentioned but more somebody saying they wouldnt mind him rather than a rumour

 

[SkyBlueBarmy84]

Hadn't Milan, Sakamoto and Thomas signed before Hamer left?

I can’t remember the exact sequencing, so you may be right, but it’s safe to assume that they were all signed based on the cash being made available by the Gyokeres / Hamer moves.

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

I think it’s misinterpreted personally. Hardly matters anyway

good old JH back in full force, 2 in 2 days.

For record, AG would be better than Wilson and Collins - he had an outstanding season 2 years ago, year Norwich reached play offs v Leeds. However really fell off cliff last year. Again just for argument sake - couldn't see him taking a 12month deal.

he is deffo better than what we have now. I would take him and fill that void but 12 months not sure. Depends who his other offers are. Can’t see him short of offers tbf.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

not a JH promise just yet will be soon tho

Let’s assume there’s any truth to it.

Why only 12 months? Would imagine it would be two or even three at a push?

Well he's definitely an upgrade on Wilson and Collins that's for sure, could be true could not be as its JH but I'm sure things are happening and have been for a while

@shmmeee get him added to the depth chart!

 

[iflynno]

Thomas started with Hamer v Leicester and Milan came on. Hamer left about 10 days later.

To prove himself maybe?
Was good a couple of years ago, but been shite since apparently, Norwich fans not going to miss him. so maybe we dont want to over commit too soon.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Cus he’s shit

Likewise , I've never understood the Gunn lovein on here . Mediocre keeper at best

 

[fatso]

Mediocre keeper at best

Well that's a massive upgrade for us then.

 

[JSL]

The problem is we don't just want a keeper. We want them to act as a playmaker from the back, be good with their feet and hands, stop shots, command the box and so on. Does what we want exist?

Put a bid in for Ederson at Man City
