Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (37 Viewers)

[EFL View]

Woolfenden is an excellent signing. Gutted to see him leave, but with O’Shea getting the captaincy he was going to struggle to get minutes and it’s hard to keep backup CBs happy.

He reads the game very well and his progressive passing is great so I can see why Lampard likes him. Negatives are that he’s not very vocal for a defender and can occasionally get done for pace.

No idea on the fee but I imagine you’ll get a good deal given that he’s asked to leave and we won’t play hardball and stand in his way. Market value is probably 5m but I reckon it’ll be around 3m with some add-ons. That’s just guess work not insider information though.

The move is understandable in the circumstances but it’s a sale that could age badly for us!

Jesus, I love him already.

 

[Matt smith]

So are we after both Rak-Sakyis?

Did you have a meeting after all?

Good thing we’re not looking for someone to organise the defence or trying to play a high line…

I'll be honest he doesnt sound like what we need at all then LOL

Tanganga would have been a much better fit.

Yeah I have felt we need a vocal organiser, with a bit of pace and would sacrifice passing ability for that personally, given how Grimes operates.

 

[TomRad85]

nah not yet, got an annoying amount of work to do though. 2 screening it big time atm.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

One we could look at?

 

[alexccfc99]

i thought Hull had a transfer embargo? Which is why they couldn’t get a replacement for Hughes in?

They have a fee embargo I am sure

they are still permitted to loan players and still able to sign free agents

 

[alexccfc99]

Few of my pals up there thought he was shite at Boro last season

 

[TomRad85]

Can we maybe get over Tanganga, we can't sign everyone and he's joined the Blunts. Despite them being total garbage its easy to forget they are a parachute team and probably getting close to double the wage we'd give him.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Good deal to be honest

 

[David O'Day]

Good deal to be honest

that's a great deal

 

[Samueljames1991]

What a loss over a few years

 

[TomRad85]

Good deal to be honest

My guy plays every week, gets promoted automatically, plays in the Prem for bit, just to get slated on here with crap like 'reserve CB'. Sounds like we've been after him for a while and sounds like he really wants to come here.
Welcome on board Woolf!

You literally have no clue what they are paying him

 

[TomRad85]

I don't care to be honest mate. I'm bored of hearing about him.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Good deal to be honest

Decent fee. Lots in the coffers to get more done

Would have been a good signing for us

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Can’t be anymore than what Luis binks was on

 

[Matt smith]

Decent fee. Lots in the coffers to get more done

Sounds like just a loan signing at cm and that might be it

 

[SkyBlue_Adam]

4m? That’s brilliant for us

 

[TomRad85]

4m? That’s brilliant for us

Total package too, so has to hit certain targets for them to get all of it.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

One we could look at?

Bling-Junior?

Get it done Doug.

 

[Captain Dart]

It’s a lot like keeping up with a match thread. Hit refresh every 5 minutes or so and look how many pages have been added.

Are we sure Sheaf would want to go to Wrexham, even if we accepted the bid? Seems like a step down, when he was probably hopeful of a step up. And he doesn't strike me as the type to be solely motivated by cash money.

I think his injuries have skewed some views, and I'm not sure Wrexham is the right move for either him or us at this point in time.

Have you considered that his partner might want a taste of the Hollywood glam.

this better not be it

At least £6m to spend still because of the good deal on Woolfy. No excuses for Doug and Austin!

 

[procdoc]

Ebou Adams

just saying random names?

 

[Saddlebrains]

4 million Woolfenden, premier league experience, mainstay of a promotion campaign with Ipswich, rave reviews from fans. Cov fans - 'dont think this is what we need


15 million Hughes - only played in L1 and in a struggling championship side, made Bobby Thomas look like Becenbauer in his last game. Cov fans - 'yea hes exactly what we need'

I genuinely think the caludon centre would have a field day on here

£8m Tanganga would be my ideal

I've just seen a Derby fan say this on twitter. Looks like an attention seeker. 'spotted at a Coventry training ground'

Is he better than Luis Binks? Obviously yes, it’s good business.
