Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (133 Viewers)

[TomRad85]

I agree to a certain degree but the issue is that Wright just doesn’t seem like a natural striker, the way he plays suits cutting in from the left. We need a proper quality striker who’s clinical, makes darting runs through defences and someone that can score with their head, as a lot of chances we create under Lampard comes through crossing the ball in. Wright is better with the ball at his feet and for some reason isn’t that great with his head considering his height. A proper clinical striker with good vision and pace is what we need, they’ll unfortunately be that issue with Wright not tracking back properly but that’s just how it is, if his game was absolutely perfect he wouldn’t be playing for us tbh.

I often think of that absolutely dominant header by Wright against Oxford and wonder why we don't see it more often.

Anyone heard anything about Bamford?

Yes he's gone to get a sick note from his doctor.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Bamford looks like he's fell out of love with football, just offered nothing the last year or so. If we got him fairly cheap I wouldn't complain could be useful if Lampard can get some fire in his belly again

He's very injury prone, aged 31 and on about £60 k a week at Leeds, no thanks

 

[Viktor17]

Bamford would be awful pick up.

 

[CovLad94]

Would rather Bertaccini, let's hope it materialises

 

[Samo]

Yes and play him alongside Norman for a Berti Bassette combo!

 

[Viktor17]

This is the risk - this Beetacinni, how will he adapt to championship ? Any better than Bta / simms/ wright? Huge risk, majority never seen him play (YouTube clips don’t count)

lesser risk is to get more out of what you have, especially when they have done and have previous.

just need to be careful with wanting the brand new shiny toy as cure all.

Don't buy Haji Wright, try and get the best from Tyler Walker.

May be wrong on this but I think the players generally coming from Belgium to the Championship have generally translated well.

Don't expect much now until at least two from MVE, Simms, Asante, Allen, Eccles, Binks, Bidwell, Collins are gone.

Not just because of fees needed for upgrades but because of the wage bill. Don't really want a bloated payroll.

to get a quick CB for the first XI, a CM to push Torp or Rudoni and an upgrade up front, expect we'll have to be patient.

I'd agree, would think we'll start to see a couple of outgoings next week.

Anyone heard anything about Bamford?

Genuinely for once Im not taking the piss my mate is a Leeds fan and he said if we were to be moving in for him it wouldnt be too expensive maybe only a couple million and that he’d (Bamford) be keen on a move to us

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Laugh all you want Sparky but that isnt me saying its happening just that my mate has heard Bamford would be interested and it’d only cost a couple million

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Does your mate know Bamford?

 

[Lamps]

I think if we could move Simms on we should. But as far as the CF role goes I think BTA got a bit of a bad press last year. Often out of position. When he did play central he looked dangerous.

To be honest apart from the odd good game I thought BTA didn't look very good wherever he played.

Although these two posts seem to contradict each other I agree with both.

Yes BTA looked dangerous at times. He can be unstoppable on the ball. It's his end product that let's him down most of the time. Sometimes he doesn't pass to an unmarked player. Sometimes he tries a pass when shooting would have been a better option. Sometimes he just runs like a headless chicken and he doesn't even know what he is trying to do himself.

There's a good player there somewhere. He causes panic when he drives forward with the ball. Maybe Lampard and his team can help him improve.

 

[Samueljames1991]

Bamford rumor came from the legend JH

He hasn't had a good season since 2020/21

Scored a massive 0 goals last year

Is that JH or Bamford?

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Bamford isn’t coming here but would be a decent signing if he did

 

[Samueljames1991]

Is that JH or Bamford?

Yes

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Does your mate know Bamford?

He knows someone that knows Bamford

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I never said we were interested just that Bamford would be interested and it would cost not too much so I dont get your quarrel sparky

I think BTA's such a poor player - dopey,can't finish,headless chicken & just runs up blind alleys

 

[baldy]

Course he'd be interested - there's hardly a massive line of clubs in for him

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Chelsea link through Lampard???

 

[Samueljames1991]

Wright is far superior

 

[baldy]

Chelsea link through Lampard???

Where he made an impressive 0 appearances in 5 years? Yeah must've made a great impression on him

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Chelsea link through Lampard???

Can your mate to tell him we dont want him

 

[SBAndy]

Does your mate know Bamford?

He drives a JCB.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Can your mate to tell him we dont want him

No because he wants him out of Leeds

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

The transfer business always gets done later than people seem to remember, but with only 2 weeks until the season starts, I suspect we will see a couple of outgoings in the next week or so at a minimum.

I would like to see a few new faces in myself, maybe a bit of a shake up in midfield, but really I think it is quite important we find someone in attack that has a better standard of pshyicality and finishing. As much as I really want to like BTA and Simms, they can ultimately be quite frustrating.

Lampard has been here for long enough now so it will be nice to see what he plans to do.

 

[Jimmy87]

@Jimmy87 any news ? You’re very quiet this summer.

Nothing really, other than what i've posted previously. He's been pretty spot on so far with what he's told me. LB in, told me early on there was talks with 2 right sided players and a keeper, since then we've had KKH and now Rushworth. Waiting to see if anything materialises with the RW.
He'd told me they were concentrating on building on what they had, rather than a massive overhaul, seems to be that way at the moment. Last we spoke, he said they'd been trying to organise some outward loans, maybe we are waiting for things to fall into place there.
I'll see him next week but we may have done some more business by then.
Seems he was right when told there is money there and Lampard would be backed, we tried to sign the keeper on a permanent. Interested to see where that money may be repurposed.
Hopefully we see a couple more decent additions.
