Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (143 Viewers)

[BlueSkiesForever]

Tbf I agree if you don’t count the players we’ve signed then it is certainly difficult to say we’ve strengthened the squad, yes

You’re asking me if we’ve strengthened the squad, I said the only player so far that looks to have significantly improved the squad since this time last year is Grimes. I don’t feel that KKH is currently an upgrade on Van Ewijk, he might be in the future but atm I’d take Van Ewijk over KKH every day. Brau looks alright but not sure if he’s much of an upgrade on Dasilva, and Rushworth is a space-saver for Dovin. So yeah, apart from Grimes we haven’t significantly improved the team from last season. We just need a quality CB and a quality CF and we’d be set for the season.

With all due respect you have positioned this as a statement of fact.

Until we have seen them all play, as a unit, these are opinions and in truth, guess work as we stand today.

Coventry City looking to snatch player away from EFL League One side - Sport Witness

Coventry City are among the clubs chasing Luton Town’s Lamine Fanne this summer. That’s according to journalist Rudy Galetti, who took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to provide the latest on the midfielder and the EFL League One side’s plans for him. Last summer, Luton Town agreed a deal with...

Is this Luton player an attacking midfieler?

Bit odd he's only played 30 or so games in his career

There's not enough of this about Nobbling before the game,or either Sheaf or Eccles to stoke or Middlesbrough.

 

[Batu1969]

Selling Sheaf? Before his contract runs down?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Selling Sheaf? Before his contract runs down?

Possibly. Would be strange considering hes been captain lal pre season.

Perhaps its a way of getting Grimes the captaincy without taking it off sheaf.

 

[Sick Boy]

Happens to many clubs ,look at Brighton & Bournemouth for example.

We’re in no way comparable to them.

Would be a good signing. A better Lati imo.

Forget that. Just seen he done his knee last week and out for a while.

Lati, you’re back in again.

Why do we need to strengthen?

We finished 5th. I’d take that again and another shot at the playoffs. And that was with a poor start.

We need a left sided CB so yes a strengthen. Other than that it's one in one out. So MVE goes we need another RB etc

tell me this isn't a serious question? Fan asks why we need to strengthen.

Ok let's just not bother

If you stand still, you go backwards.

Glad you aren't the manager christ.

Imagine Lampard just saying "meh not arsed about strengthening as we finished 5th last year"

 

[procdoc]

Another CB and another winger are a must

He has strengthened the team though, the goalkeeper was the major weak point and it has been sorted. Aside from that we're good to go. I think the expectations on here are silly, Lampard has said time and time again that he likes the squad, some of the bright sparks on here took that to mean at least seven signings.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

We need a centre half doesn’t matter which side as Thomas is no better than Kitching. We need somebody who can help us beat teams that sit deep as a lot will come to the cbs and try to kill the game.

The psoter im replying to said why strengthen the squad if we finished 5th.

What frustrates me is that we need another CB/ST, but we get linked with a CM from Luton.

Been linked to a centre half and a right back today as well ..

We still need depth and competition in the squad though

Someone from West Brom?
