Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (34 Viewers)

[Ccfcisparks]

You're right we're just going to have the same eleven players start all 46 games because that's how football works, my bad.

i am astounded at how some people think we will just have the same 11 every game. it’s unbelievable

Maybe Doug has bought the FM editor and he’s just going to change the fitness and condition to 100% before every game?

“Look after me”

 

[Cally Fedora]

In. Brau, KKH, Woolfenden, Rushworth
Out. Binks, Sheaf.
Retained. A shedload of proven championship talent.
I think it’s been an excellent window.

 

[skybluecam]

Josh Bowler has just been released, get it done Doug

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Business concluded then? Or are they gonna take 3 days to announce that too

 

[wingy]

So how much have we banked+15 less losses?

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Josh Bowler has just been released, get it done Doug

We won't, hence why we have players on the bench.

You might hate the likes of Eccles, Simms, KKH, Allen, Lati and Bidwell but they have and will do a job when required. They aren't random academy players, they are experienced Championship footballers.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

My reading of this transfer window is that prices for players at Championship level have been inflated and trying to secure suitable quality players at a level we considered value has been almost impossible.
It’ll be interesting to see if this continues in January

 

[SHUNT31]

The club have handled this so badly they've almost managed to make the new signing announcement a complete downer. I feel bad for the bloke honestly, it's a bit of a shit show.

Amateurish isn’t it.

why do you include loans in and exclude loans out

 

[David O'Day]

You're right we're just going to have the same eleven players start all 46 games because that's how football works, my bad.

Who said that? I'm just saying Sheaf wouldn't have played as many times as you said. If you want to change what we are talking about because you were wrong then so be it.

 

[Match Plot]

I’m convinced we must have a free agent heading our way. Lampard likes wing play, yet we have no cover or players that can come in and change up the dynamic of the game. It just doesn’t make sense to intentionally go into a season with one of the leanest in the championship.

 

[steve101]

When I saw Raphael was going, I was convinced we must be getting in a winger. I would love a straight answer to why that wasn't the case. Despite what some have said, he would have got minutes, whether filling on for injuries or as an option from the bench.
As Palace have done, you can agree to a transfer on condition a replacement comes in, then pull the plug if not.

I think we’ll likely go back for a few in January. Got Eccles to come back and can hopefully develop Andrews.
Yeah, it’s been decent…not perfect but pretty good.

Information doesn't come free you know,and if it's quality you want that requires a subscription scheme!

He isn't worth it

 

[PVA]

Who said that? I'm just saying Sheaf wouldn't have played as many times as you said. If you want to change what we are talking about because you were wrong then so be it.

Well clearly we can't prove who is right or wrong so it's a pretty futile argument.

I just think it's absolutely mad to suggest that Sheaf would be resigned to the bench for the season.

Let me put it another way, do you think Allen and Eccles are better than Sheaf?

 

[Perryccfc]

I’m notoriously on the fence with things, I never really fluster when things don’t go right. But to come out of this window with no added midfielders, and then going on to sell our captain on deadline days feels criminal to me. Allen/Eccles are not promotion chasing midfielders, it’s as simple as that.

We are 1 serious injury to Rudi, Grimes or Torp away for it to have a significant impact on our results. The drop off from the starting midfield to the backup is night and day. This should have been addressed long before Sheaf was sold.

Stadium aside (which is incredible) someone has seriously not done their job this window, and I genuinely feel we could pay a huge consequence.

That’s my bed wetting done for the year. I’m really angry. But we’ve had it much much worse, so I’ll always try to look for the positives.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

he played 30 games last year ffs

 

[mark82]

Como have released Deli Alli.
Frank took him to Everton, but i can't see that really happening...can it ?

We are at those levels of desperation, but doubt it.

 

[Gibbo]

It is a bit random we let players go we don't have much cover for.

Yeah Rapha wasn't a starter but if Saka gets a bad injury we are fucked.

...and BTA's superb game against QPR?

 

[David O'Day]

Business concluded then? Or are they gonna take 3 days to announce that too

Have we actually done that tweet at all in the last few years?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

i’m sorry but people saying it’s our best window in ages must be trolling. surely.

 

[Jamieb87ccfc]

We were linked with Lawrence all summer, worked with Lampard at Derby so potential there as an option out wide
Lampard played with Oxlade-Chamberlain for England and signed Ali for Everton so a few links there.
Some great free agents knocking around if needed.

signing any of them would be utter desperation

I think they, especially Eccles is good enough to act cover that means we would have been stupid to turn down the offer for sheaf

yes they can act as cover until January when we can if need like last Jan strengthen the midfield

 

[Matt smith]

To be honest I can see Tom Lawrence haha

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

If we had signed a CM and winger (within the whole window) it’d have been our best window. But we didnt so its not, its a decent window dont get me wrong but depth up top is lacking (other than at ST) 1 LW, 1 RW, 1 AM

 

[fatso]

How can we rotate players when we have 2 recognised wingers ? We’re relying on BTA playing out of position & a LB from the 2nd division in Spain covering for EMC. Massive gamble that was not needed when we had bodies in the building

Again. We've let no one go who was ever going to play!!! What are you not grasping?

There was no scenario where Raphael was ever getting a start, we have Sakamoto, and EMC, then BTA, then KKH, then MvE (with Lats or Eccles as FB ) then Brau or JDS who would all be played as wingers before Raphael, so what are you not understanding?

 

[ptr]

Now we've signed Woofiy, could playing 3 5 2 be an option.

Been saying this for a while. Won’t be long.

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

I like the Woolfenden signing.
I have no problem with any of the incomings.
I have no problem with any of the outgoings.
BUT
We have left ourselves light and there is no way the manager didn't want a couple more. It could have made a real difference and someone has dropped a bollock somewhere let's be honest.

We got the CBS which is the best news in decades honestly and I still expect a good season, but it hinges a lot on keeping players fit and injury free.

Absolutely spot on.

Looks to me like Austin shit the bed again. Last year Stamenic, this year looks like we bet heavily on getting Hughes, and completely lost the plot with other areas that could be exposed if we let some of our squad players go out on loan or even be sold.

I‘m happy enough with our defensive additions, but what the fuck, we’re a bit light now everywhere else….

 

[blunted]

There was zero chance of either Bassette or Raphael getting any meaningful game time.
It was blindingly obvious that Lampard didn't rate them.

So moving the pair of them on makes PERFECT sense.

Wigan is a good place to see if Rapha is going to make the grade with us. As is Obiku at Lincoln. That is what loans are all about.

 

[David O'Day]

To be honest I can see Tom Lawrence haha

Take a good long time before he would be ready to play in the championship though
