Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (33 Viewers)

[procdoc]

Back on topic. I’m sure we will bolster the squad before the close of the window, even if it’s a couple of loans

With Grimes here he doesn't fit into the team, and I feel this need to shoehorn him in could be a big problem for us. He can't attack anyway, so it doesn't really work even if he did go further up the pitch.

Yes, of course we have some issues up front, maybe even in some other positions too. We also have to remember it is only preseason as well, but this issue is glaringly obvious.

We need to start with Grimes, Torp.and Rudoni. Sheaf should be on the bench.
We lose our attacking impotence when Grimes and Sheaf play together.

Anything sexy?

attacking impotence

Misuse of the word, but it still works - I like it!

Unsolicited chicken pic.

Apologies... It's out there now...

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We have a strong base, I just feel we need the finishing touches.

A new CB whos at least good enough to challenge Kitching/Thomas

A new dynamic CM. If we are saying sheaf and grimes don’t work together, there’s a lot of pressure on Torp.

A inventive CAM someone to cover for rudi, pull rabbits out of hats and just be something different

A winger who can play both sides, quick, direct and not afraid to run at players

A number 9 - Marquee man.

There must be at least a few players available on loan who can tick these boxes.

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

He’s also in my DMs just because I said ‘your mum’. Needs to get a life

What I'd like to know is, did he go into your DMs or did he 'slide' into your DMs, sliding into your DMs sounds sexier tbf

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Agreed.

I think we need all 5. I think we will get 2 being realistic.

 

[Winny the Bish]

I can't wait for Saddle's annual "All the players are miserable and think the new signings are shit" post.

 

[ccfc1234]

We are three signings from being very useful. Need to create space with Collins, Bidwell and possibly Allen or Eccles or BTA, spme of who would command a decent sum. We could then bring in a ST, RAM and an experienced CB.

Yea, one of those times where autocorrect actually comes up with a better suggestion

I wouldnt describe signing 5 new players as the finishing touches

We need a CB which is top class for this league and better than our current 2.

Well I doubt we will get that. One who’s similar to Kitching and Thomas in quality with potential is more realistic

 

[fernandopartridge]

Writing Brau off before the season has even started, come on

I would imagine Dasilva will start LB against Hull, which given how he ended the season (and has been decent in pre season) is no bad thing.

Brau will then start to challenge him as he gets used to the league etc.

Bidwell shouldn't really be in the conversation the way he's looked for the last 6 months.

And TBF to Da Silva he looks quite sharp and looks to have lost a few Ibs

 

[Andy123456]

Sadlittleman is just licking his wounds, he's no longer ITK so he needs to resort to slating the players

 

[Cov98]

As I've said before, Brau seems to have been arranged for a while now and was probably going to be our first choice LB, but Dasilva picked up massively towards the end of last season and has been quality so far in preseason so I think it's a case of Frank playing Brau further up because Dasilva is doing so well at LB.

And TBF to Da Silva he looks quite sharp and looks to have lost a few Ibs

 

[SleepyGinger]

You have more confidence than me, I know the window doesn't close for a while yet but I would have hoped that it would be sorted before now

@Jimmy87 is usually bang on the money and he’s said we’re after a right sided attacker, id expect that to come to fruition. Binks also needs replacing and I think whoever we bring in will start over Kitching.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Back on topic. I’m sure we will bolster the squad before the close of the window, even if it’s a couple of loans

I feel like it's a right winger and another centre back, as Lampard mentioned depth. The way he was talking though it isn't necessarily a first choice. We'll see though.

 

[trueskyblue12]

I feel this summer has been a disappointment, appreciate there’s a few weeks of the window left but can only see yet another slow start on the cards because of sluggish recruitment

100 percent agree with this

And even if we only tick off 1/2 of these 5 before the window ends it puts us in a great position.

We're not a million miles away. No panic

Just half of the outfield players, very subtle mate

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Happy BTA and Simms scored today, will keep people crying about strikers for an hour, maybe 2.

Wright is the marquee man upfront.

If we’re being realistic, it would look something like:
- CB
- Winger
- AM who can play out wide or vice versa

I’ve not been to the preseason games but it seems that Lampard may be happy to keep Andrews around the first team squad and Rapha may be ready to play a role for next season.

The obsession to find a better centre back than our best centre back is weird .
If Perry ,as looks likely , is going to be given time then Lati can't be third choice we need a solid third centre back to compete with Thomas and Kitching

Two from five is the most likely outcome here

Until we scrap that and go three?

We aren't signing a centre forward when we still have 4 on the books

Sorry I probably misread the point, I thought you were on about the defence.🫣

We definitely need a centre back
