Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (135 Viewers)

So this dispels the rumour that we had anyone lined up when we sold Binks

Looks like we're throwing a tonne of bids around hoping something will stick...

Disgrace really

Ipswich supporting brother in law thinks the fee will be around £6m, and that they would sell him, they've been trying to get another CB in as apparently he's told the club he wants game time. Not ITK by any means!!!

I’ve heard the same on that he is not happy at the lack of playing time

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Throwing around bids for players who don’t seem available isn’t screaming well thought out transfer strategy.

Have yiou thought maybe we did have someone lined up and couldnt get them. Binks wanted to leave Lampard said himself.

Would you rather we sign players who clubs are desperate to get rid of?

Some people on here are genuinely mental during the transfer window hahaha

Best have a word with Liverpools team then.....

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Getting dangerously close to Patrick Bauer territory on the CB list

 

[mmttww]

Except we don’t have to replace a whole squad.

 

[David O'Day]

I mean, basically we've bid a for a promising young CB but his team wants the kind of money only a PL team will pay so we have moved on and have now bid for a CB who has got out of this league before.

 

[junglej13]

The Ipswich forum reported this weeks ago and said we targetted Woolfenden in Jan. Just highlighting I don't think this is the desperate move some are making out.

 

[CCFC96]

Someone like Woolfenden would be perfect if it’s a replacement for Binks. Experienced, talented, probably a similar level to Bobby/Kitch. Reduces the risk of Bidwell playing centre half in a meaningful game.

If it’s the Bobby replacement then we’d need another (Asante makes sense if that’s a real rumour as a young talented player with upside to push the other 3)

We are going for quality, not quantity. So yes, we will be making bids for players that are well thought of and that others will want as well. Some of the shite people would happily want us to sign just so we make a signing is really worrying. I’m more than comfortable with us waiting for the right players.

Ipswich may not want rid of him, but no doubt after hearing of our bid he will have a discussion with them as it doesn’t look like he will play much. Wonder who leaked the bid to the press? Oh, the agent again. We will get the players in we need to but we won’t be panic buying much to the disgust of a few in here.

Why would he come to us to be a bench player when he wants to leave ipswich for first team football.

Fair point but could also make sense that it’s pushing Kitch or Bobby down to a rotation spot.

Well no, obviously not but there is a difference between players clubs are desperate to get rid of and players that clubs will field reasonable offers for. Most clubs these days won’t even put in a bid until they’re fairly confident they can get the deal done. Lurching from target to target, putting in bids below valuation and then scampering away with our tails between our legs just comes across a bit amateurish, is all. Also, let’s everyone know we’ve got some money burning a hole in our pocket for a centre back which isn’t ideal either.

WHo says he will be a bench player here?

 

[David O'Day]

Who is saying that?

If he signed for us he'd get a decent amount of games as they would rotate the CBS.

 

[Deity]

He would be instead of Thomas ….

Surely the point of negotiating is go in low to being with.

Sparks is

 

[Hobo]

He just purposely bids well under the asking price

Yes let's make our first offer over the asking price

Let's face facts, nobody knows what we offered or even if we did. Fans judge our transfer activity based on about 5% fact and 95% rumour

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Sparks is

CCFC96 was talking about him being a replacement for Binks.

We clearly know Woolfenden wants to leave (Ipswich ITKs said this a few weeks ago) and that we were interested in Jan. I don’t think a single negotiation goes:
- first offer comes in
- player is sold

 

[Martw]

Reading their form again, many can see why he would want to leave given he is clearly not a first choice. Also they seem to think that they are in negotiations with Bøving

 

[David O'Day]

Sparks is

figures

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Recruiting to replace a reserve centre back isn't as easy as some think.

Either we gotta pay big to get someone who's going to replace Thomas, Kitching or you get someone who may feel underwhelming but is happy to sit on the bench and do a job when needed

 

[David O'Day]

So do some people on here. That's the beauty of the transfer rumours, they suck in all manner of fans to click on your page and increase the ad revenue.

We'll revisit this at the end of the window

 

[shmmeee]

Except we don’t have to replace a whole squad. No need to panic.

Just the “lots of links to great players who then go to other teams” stuff. I don’t think we’ll get relegated!

 

[Chris1987]

We'll revisit this at the end of the window

We have no idea what bids or negotiations have been taking place

Woolfenden would start, Binks was a squad player.

Franks wants 2 more centre half’s.

I suspect one is a proven championship player, their other a younger player with potential.

Where you getting 2 cb's from? We're not going to go with 5 in the squad

 

[Trueskyblue20]

I’ve heard that we are targeting Patrick Bauer & he has a lot of experience

 

[TomRad85]

Turning down bids for their benched centre back and rivaling us for both of our other rumoured targets. Dangerously close to joining the shit list.
