Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (63 Viewers)

[Manchester_sky_blue]

But then they dont get a fee. Same with the Shipley situation.

That's true but Allen has done more than enough to earn a free transfer if that's what he wanted. I'm pretty sure he's sticking around

we've probably extended it to get a nominal fee. I'd imagine theres a move lined up probablhy waiting to announce July 1st

 

[Hobo]

if we can find away of making a Grimes/Sheaf midfield work then you stick with that.

A lot to be said for that. I still feel we need another midfielder even if we don't lose anybody, if you want real strength and depth.

Yeah. sheaf is one of the best midfielders in the league ability wise but is similar to Grimes who is even better.

If this summer we can work on a midfield set up that works with both of them in as those two and Rudoni are a top, top championship midfield.

Agree, don’t sell Sheaf, if he stays fit and pairs up well, why sell?

Thought this was the case initially but I think he’ll still be here when the season starts. No reason why the move couldn’t have happened already if there was someone lined up.

 

[Trueskyblue20]

Can’t see us paying the 2.5 million asking price for a cover player

Would be a great signing, I wanted him a few years back when he was Utd Youth.

He is more of a midfielder by trade but has been great at RB the last couple of years so he would offer versatility and cover in both RB and the centre of the park.

He agreed a contract where the club could extend it by a year. They are protecting their asset. Why would they agree to a free transfer if he they could get a small fee?

Because they don't intend to sell. Every player has a price.. But if they wanted to move him on, why trigger a clause to run the risk of being stuck with him.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I've just had a message from my 80 year old mother saying she's heard a rumour that we are after Colby Bishop from Pompey she's a definite itk

Is Rooney their manager now?

Precisely

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Silly question but have we had it confirmed Sheaf has an extension? I couldn’t see it in the original statement on his contract.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Personally I don't think a Grimes / Sheaf partnership works for both of them or Rudoni .
I thought our midfield looked at its best last season with more movement alongside Rudoni especially when Torp was fit and to a lesser extent when Eccles was pushed further forward .
I think if we do strengthen centrally it will be a more athletic and mobile player we bring in

 

[Deity]

What nonsense.. If we can get a fee for him we should … we are running a business not a charity.

 

[Balli001]

They did the exact same with Shipley and sold him within a month of him extending the contract. We may well end up keeping him but if he leaves we get a fee which is still more than letting him go which you seem to be advocating.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Travis would be a good pick up, someone would be moved on if this has anything in the link. Its one i would not be surprised in at all.

Could replace some of the driftwood.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Silly question but have we had it confirmed Sheaf has an extension? I couldn’t see it in the original statement on his contract.

Yeah Lampard mentioned it I think. The telegraph confirmed it after it (or reiterated Lampards comments)

said something like we’re in no rush to hand out a new contract because we have an option until 2027

Lampard has mentioned it.

 

[shepardo01]

If they intended to move him on they wouldn't have triggered the extension in my opinion. They would have just let him find a new club.

It would have been triggered automatically.

 

[Balli001]

It would have been triggered automatically.

Not automatic on allens case. Club option

 

[junglej13]

Ethan Galbraith could be a good cover at right back and midfield. Huddersfield, Charlton and Swansea have had bids turned down already this summer.

Believe we had an interest in Galbraith about three summers ago when Chris Badlan was still around. I was told at the time some off field temptations were his main issue. Seems to have kicked on and done well the last season or two.

Under contract a player only moves if it suits them. My point is a lot of fans see Allen (wrongly) as a get rid of player.

I don't see him as FL wants to get rid. Yes and offer might come in that suits Allen and the club.

But that is a long long way from certain fans putting him in the bin and he is going.

It's bollocks. Shipley was a deal that suited him and us. It wasn't a plot to get rid of Shipley and make money

 

[Hobo]

I don't rate me. I have watched him loads of times. Connor Coventry looks a better option a shame Charlton got promoted

Then prepare to be wrong in the not too distant future

He won't stay fit. He never does.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Don’t be harsh on yourself

 

[David O'Day]

yeah, he is just not at the level we want to be at

 

[ccfc1234]

Lampard has mentioned it.

Sorry I missed it, what was the jist of what was said?

 

[Hobo]

Don’t be harsh on yourself

I am a project for myself

 

[shmmeee]

Sorry I missed it, what was the jist of what was said?

Something along the lines of “we have another year option on Aheaf so don’t have to worry just yet”

I hope not. I have not been particularly impressed when he has come up against us. Looks average at best.
