Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (35 Viewers)

A level up from where Bassette is mind.

Fucking Ridiculous comment.
Kone is 2 years older than Bassette and was playing non league football when he was 20, has never played in the championship and doesn't have an international cap.

Some of the shite spouted on here is just mind blowing.

Just can’t get my head around how we’re doing business, haven’t got rid of any of our strikers….signed a Rb for millions when it looks like we’re pricing teams out of buying Milan. Everyone around us seemingly making moves yet we’re sitting still. The hughes thing would be great but it appears to be a complete no goer now, can’t we spend the money elsewhere! We’re a ST/RW and CB away from giving it a good go

Unfortunately we’re probably going to be stuck with our strikers because inevitably there’s not going to be much if any interest in them.

Didn’t his international cap come about because they took the reserves from the U21s rather than their better players so not to disrupt the U21’s game too much?

They all count, and he has played at that level. No one can take that away from him.

Someone bought Luis Binks. Maybe Brondby think BTA can tear it up in Denmark.

So you're saying Allen, Collins, Wilson, Lati, Bidwell, JDS, BTA, Simms, and Eccles are all good enough for a team wanting to push for promotion and/or survive relegation in the PL?
Add to that Mr Cant Stay fit for 7mins, Mr Good when he can be bothered Wright, and ok in patches EMC.

But I'm unrealistic for wanting better versions/replacements for them? I'm not suggesting its done this window, but as it stands, a now 3rd choice LB, a RB (that will get minimal game time if we keep out pricing MVE and he stays) and a GK on loan (granted he was desperately needed) when all of the above need upgrades and moving on? We were 3rd best, after Xmas, but that wasnt when it counted. That wasnt the business end. It was at the business end when these players didnt stand up and be counted. And if we dont address at least 2 or 3 of those issues, we'll still be sat here this time next season, in the championship having the same arguments.

Was it Einstein that said the definition of a fool is somebody that does the same thing over and over and expects different results? Well, at 1230 on Saturday, all bar Rushworth in goal, our fool did the same thing that failed last season. And unless we get 2 or 3 marquee signings before the window closes, dont be shocked if we get the same outcome as last season. Apart from GK (and that's only temporary), we haven't strengthened a single area on the pitch. RB if MVE goes is much a muchness for KKH, and Brau is currently 3rd choice LB. So where have we strengthened/improved this summer? Nowhere.

You’ve done a fair bit of over-inferring from what I said mate but I take your point. Note I don’t mean we’re necessarily ‘ok’ if we finish like this - see my earlier post re: window having three weeks to run - just that we hardly have a barebones/proven poor squad in the Championship. And that it’s obvious why Stoke have done more business than us.

Likewise, I haven't said we NEED 9 signings and I also think we have a semi-capable squad. This all started with me putting together 3 wish lists.

1st, being a good window and adding to the 3 we've already signed + 1CH and 1ST. Pretty realistic and not overstretching imho.

The second being, a great window and bringing in a few more. I think i said 2xCh a LW and a ST iirc.

And the 3rd being a PERFECT window and cutting off all the deadwood and bringing in 8 or 9 better options to replace them with.

For putting out my 3 options (knowing full well we'll end this window closer to the "good" than either of the other 2) I was mocked as a "football manager" player and that this was real life.

Like the clinging on to the only international cap he’ll ever get, on the pitch for seconds, all because the U21’s had no intention of playing him because he was down the pecking order with them too?

 

[jas365]

Why are some panicking same squad was 4th top scorers in the league, we didn’t get past Sunderland because we couldn’t defend, we’ve addressed that, and will prob bring a CH in the next 3 weeks,

Most of us are getting twitchy because we've hardly moved the squad on from last year. The starting XI on Sat was last seasons squad players plus a loan keeper.

Yes we finished 5th, but the cracks that were showing last season have (up to now) not been addressed. Most of our presumed rivals have strengthened in numbers. Its obvious we desperately need a striker and a centre half, lets hope we can do some business in the next 3 weeks.

If not, it will just feel like we've gone backwards.

That's a brave statement about a player with a 10+ year career ahead of him.

It never ceases to amaze ne how some fuckers call themselves fans, but love to see our young players fail.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

the vardy rumour has come from someone inside the club who works with the corporate team

was seen at the ground today

Even though I'm sure it's nonsense, were it to happen the reveal surely has to be



IT'S.................

Don’t love to. Just right to call it from game one

he looked ok when he first came, just looked like he needs a bit of coaching but if simms is on the bench and your not I’d be a bit pissed off

Would have to screen capture Vardy in a Cov kit and post it on the Leicester forum lol melt down would be epic

We’re not selling Simms or BTA this season and people need to let that go… next season will be the time to take stock.

As for Bassette, a loan will hopefully do him and us a load of good.

Why do you do this

 

[Bigelvesy]

Robins has signed 8 at Stoke. Such a keyboard manager he is, sat on FM2024! No clue at all that Robins bloke.

Stoke barely scraped staying in the league, they needed an entire new squad.
We finished 5th after a shit start and lost in the play offs in extra time. We dont need to sign 8.

(is the rationale argument)

We needed a few key additions, keep our assets, offload some deadwood.

So far, with 3 weeks left, we’ve kept assets, strengthened at GK and RB, and offloaded Binks.
Everyone needs to calm down and acknowledge the leaks arent appearing, noone is in the know, but the soundbites we’ve had from the club is that they are trying to do business.

 

[zuni]

is it simply the tactics that we now have why strikers are not performing and frank needs to fix that rather than spend cash

 

[PVA]

It was a bit weird how Bassette was first choice striker for quite a while then just dropped out the team and was barely seen again.

He started 7 out of Lampard's first 10 games, obviously Wright was injured but he kept getting picked ahead of Simms and BTA.

He didn't do a lot during those games and it was a bit strange that Lampard kept picking him. He obviously sees some talent in him.

Then he barely got a kick for the rest of the season, now he's behind Obikwu.

 

[robbiethemole]

EMC is right footed and Saka left, how about playing them on the opposite wings? Weird idea I know

I get that they are wide strikers rather than old fashioned wingers, and it can make sense to be able to cut inside onto your better foot. But occasionally swapping sides during games would surely be worth trying. I don't buy the idea that they aren't capable of it.

Im sure an Oxford or someone will be willing to take a punt on Bassette on loan, high energy player

We do know.
First it was because he couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo and then his attitude changed in training - If you read between the lines.
