Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (19 Viewers)

[HJones23]

Someone please tell me the purpose of Dean Austin. Clearly have money to play with, yet we’re always so slow to act on anything.

Two days left of the window to rectify this mess at the back - only summer I can think worse than this is the one when Mowbray got sacked (promise I’m not bedwetting)

Doug said at the forum after Robbins sacking he negotiates the deals, Austin & the team bring him the players they have identified

Austin’s job is to identify players. He doesn’t sign them as well

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

looks like we’re walking away from the hughes deal, Doug needs to pay them what they want and stop fannying around

Hughes terrible touch here , mistakes happen

You'd take Riis on a free over Simms all day wouldn't you.

 

[Jamesimus]

They do. Still think he lacks a little quality on the ball considering his reported asking price.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Not what some of our fans were saying when he was available on a free this summer

Probably me overreacting tbf, just think this window has been poor. Not sure whether it’s the comms though.

Feel like Robins was very open about the business he wanted to do over the summer and where, whereas Frank doesn’t seem to let much slip.

So basically we’ve pursued him all summer for nothing

 

[covcity4life]

We urgently need some decent reinforcements otherwise we will struggle till Jan

By struggle do you mean not being in the top 2?

Basically bling knowing all along we wouldn’t pay what they wanted but at least he can say he ‘tried’

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Well if we don’t get a backup it could be a struggle for top 6

CB I agree ifget tinjury but other than that we're clearly gonna be bang in the promotion mix till winter window opens

 

[Skyblue_CP]

I’d be looking at bringing in Wolfenden and Hughes. Could be the difference between 7th and 2nd.

We have plenty of tools already but Lampard doesn’t seem to favour them for some reason

Have you got a magic money tree

It's not every game he doesn't make subs

He would have his reasons today and it's not like we were parking bus by end of game. We still got ball down heir end and could have got a winner too. Sub or no sub

 

[pusbccfc]

Hughes terrible touch here , mistakes happen

He'd fit in well!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

It is most games to be honest that the subs tend to come fairly late

 

[Skyblue_CP]

No, have you?

Derby was pretty late as well just from memory.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

I definitely think it’s hughes or bust, can genuinely see us signing nobody else

 

[PVA]

How did MVE today any sign of complacency or big bollocks after the fall through of his deal?

He was poor today, particularly second half (not alone in that of course).

 

[samccov1987]

Appreciate we seem to be going all in on Hughes and would imagine there must have been some encouragement but £10m plus seems far too much even after today’s defending. Would feel happier getting Woolfenden in at a reasonable price and taking a chance on Pye at Stockport.

Feel like we need two CB to challenge Bobby and Kitch and not sure Lati does that.

Could get those two for less than £5m and keep money back to strengthen the wings.

 

[Cally Fedora]

I’d be relieved if we walked away from the Hughes deal. Just looks a slightly above average champ CH to me.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

If we sign nobody then I want to be critical of bling, but he has major credit for buying the stadium

I like the idea of getting two CBs and the suggestions. While I don’t think it would be five million, definitely he cheaper than Hughes is looking atm

We didn't lose that one either from memory

We can’t have poor recruitment paper over the cracks if he doesn’t get at least 1 CB in, it’s all good with the stadium of course but we’re still light

 

[procdoc]

Would people consider the decision to sell Binks was a mistake if we don’t add a centre half?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Would people consider the decision to sell Binks was a mistake if we don’t add a centre half?

Yeah. You can’t do half a season with only 3 senior centre backs. Especially when none of them are particularly brilliant.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Would people consider the decision to sell Binks was a mistake if we don’t add a centre half?

No it was a good deal and gave us plenty time to sign one. It’s a failure on recruitments part if we dont

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

We didn't lose that one either from memory

So we agree hes late to use his subs? Just some games it works and others it doesn’t

 

[Levship20]

Would people consider the decision to sell Binks was a mistake if we don’t add a centre half?

No because apparently he was on squillions a week, and nobody rated him
