Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (149 Viewers)

[jas365]

I know its all ifs and buts, but considering we were chucking 9 million quid at Hull for Hughes, Callum Doyle for 8 million is an absolute no brainer. We know how good he is, and he can also play LB

Makes fucking zero sense to me

Unreal signing for the sheep botherers though

Agreed, i'll be really pissed if he ends up going there, he's exactly what we need. We clearly have the funds, got to be worth a bid to match them.

Maybe we just prefer Hughes...

Kind of over Doyle now, its a boring saga. He's good but i'm sure we can find as good or better... as for spunking a combined £18 million on Broadhead and Doyle, i'm not sure what to say. You could build a fairly competitive team with that kind of money but theirs still looks pretty poor overall. Think Parkinson will be hopelessly exposed this season.

He's fine for keeping a club in the division. He did it with Bolton under significant constraints. His style of football, while ugly, is kryptonite to certain teams - us particularly.

However, he's nowhere near good enough to be able to get Wrexham promoted, even with a more balanced squad. They'll need to look elsewhere if they wish to get out of this division.

Strand Larsen looks like he’s off to Newcastle. I have a sneaking suspicion Wolves will go for Haji.

Very frustrating to lose out on Doyle to Wrexham as well.

Lose out to Wrexham?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Does seem that way. Although wonder how’s that getting on as we’ve had no news or murmurs for a bit and latest rumours have us looking elsewhere

Hopefully we're getting to the point where our quality can get us past the shithouses of the division. Derby were a horrible outfit and in the end we took the piss really. But yeh i agree that he'll probably keep them up and also that they'll need to be brave and move him on if they want to be upwardly mobile in the division.

I'd be happy with their CB pairing of Coady and Doyle.

Coady is a snail , there's no way we could play a high line with him

 

[quinn1971]

Maybe doyle didn’t want to come here, wasn’t exactly welcomed back, but it’s probably more about wages,

Wages and location would be my bet.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Think it said online it was location he preferred

 

[covcity4life]

It's going to end up a final 24 hour pursuit to get his signature, despite a terrorist attack blocking the M6

Was thinking the same..if the club media don't use split screen countdown timer to announce his signing they will have missed a trick

Hughes got a much higher ceiling than Doyle, I’d be very surprised if Wrexham make a profit on him.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

£3.5m on a backup?

He can also play at left back where we have plenty of cover and also midfield.

Midfield?

CM like Dabo?

 

[gspotgaz]

Doyle to Wrexham is bloody honking after all that speculation

 

[Flying Fokker]

Boving? From what we see European youngster start to develop when they are 23/24 look at Viktor, so underrated at that age and it was when he came to us and filled out a bit he started to bloom. The thing is will Norman be the same? We he develop as time goes by and is this Boving any different from our Norman? Please don't say he scores goals because the championship is very different from European leagues, I'm sure if you placed Norman in the Austrian league he would score goals.

Bassette will come good. Not sure what the issue is to freeze him out atm

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Has Doyle progressed?
Loans to Norwich and now a move to Wrexham suggest otherwise

 

[Flying Fokker]

The record isn’t particularly inspiring and it does concern me a bit if we start accumulating these prospects like toys.

depends If they go out on loan and command a good fee down the line.

 

[procdoc]

I think Doyle is good, and would have loved him to come back here. But some of you are mourning him going to Wrexham like they’re signing prime Maldini or Baresi

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

With Doyle I’d imagine there’s unfavourable terms benefitting Man City. I.e a Low buyback. Teams like us are looking at players we can develop and sell for 20-25m. Not gonna do that if Man City can pick him back up for say 10m if we got promoted.

I’ve got a suspicion it’s the case if Wrexham get relegated

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Callum Doyle to Wrexham is a great signing for them - fair play.

On the face of it, if we've allowed this deal to slip through our grasps then it's poor from Doug and the recruitment team, there has been a rumoured interest in the player from our side throughout the summer and it's a position we've been clearly looking to strengthen (all the interest in Hughes), but I do believe there is more to this, i.e we dropped interest, etc.

Wrexham are not getting relegated.

 

[Alkhen]

Lot of moaning about losing out to Wrexham or a lack of ambition not going after Doyle. Maybe we did, maybe we didn't but one thing's for sure, if a player chooses Wrexham over us there is only one rea$on why.. and we are better off out of it if that's the case.

They are pretty much fiddling the books to be able to pay stupid money and even more crazy wages. Hopefully it'll catch up with them down the line but I'd rather not try keep pace on matching the spending of gross circus clubs like them and Birmingham. We have been able to find value in the market over recent years we shouldn't panic.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Wrexham are not getting relegated.

I don’t think they are either. But even then I’d be surprised there isn’t clauses like that in there.

basically Man City will cover any base they can in order to take any profit from a Callum Doyle sale. Pretty much what they’ve done with Trafford and what Villa did with Philogene

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

If Brentford and Burnley also want Bobby perhaps a bidding war may commence and someone is going to overpay!

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Got to go all out for hughes now, if Bobby goes and we don’t get hughes we’ll probably look abroad for CB’s

 

[Deity]

Maybe Frank likes Kitch given he’s made him Captain and right footed Hughes was to replace Thomas ….:

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

To be clear, it's nearly £20 million spent on Nathan Broadhead and Callum Doyle alone. If people want us to get involved in that sort of transfer business, fine, but it's madness.

Broadhead is madness but spending the money they are on Doyle is fantastic business

 

[SBT]

Bad news that, he must have preferred the Frankie & Bennies they offered. Lessons to be learnt here Doug.

He’s joined Wrexham just for enjoying a meal? A succulent American-Italian meal?

 

[Levship20]

I wouldn’t like to see us sell Bobby Thomas. If we sell him and get another in, we still only have 2 recognised CB’s.

What? We have Perry and Bidwell

If we sell Bobby Thomas for 8-10 million then that’s ridiculously good, we’ll have 2 lined up

They have the Disney boys ploughing in money that we can't. If money were no object as it clearly is for them, different story
