Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (63 Viewers)

SleepyGinger · Sunday at 5:23 PM

Sheaf doesn’t fit this team, he’s not as good as Grimes in the 6 and he’s not suited to be one of the attacking 8s. 6.5m with a year left is good business, we need a midfielder in tomorrow mind.

6.5 million for Sheaf. Medical tomorrow.

Thats where the deal may collapse.... Mind at least he will know his way around the room.

jas365 · Sunday at 5:24 PM

Great business to get 6.5m, but i'd be staggered if we haven't got his replacement lined up.

cooperskyblue · Sunday at 5:25 PM

Rubbish, it is not criminal at all. It is great business for someone who is injured regularly, and even when fit hasn't been good enough last season.

Let's trust Doug. The guy knows what he's doing.

6.5 million for our captain and when not injured one of the best midfielders in the league. Fair play for the stadium Doug but that is criminal

larry_david · Sunday at 5:25 PM

This is when we need @AFCCOVENTRY scouring twitter for the replacement being linked

AS86 · Sunday at 5:25 PM

Decent fee, sad to see him go. Have very little faith in us replacing him in 26 hours. Really hope there's someone we've already had talks with and we'll just pounce on that now

That’s a huge gamble now.

It would be a gamble keeping a player who’s last patch of decent form was in 2023-2024 season and is fit for 20 games a season when we have an offer of 6-8 million.

Nick · Sunday at 5:26 PM

It depends on the replacements we can get in. It's ok getting people out the door but

Blind-Faith · Sunday at 5:26 PM

I hope he fails his medical

I know it’s only a joked about on here, but I’ll only accept Hamer as a replacement, nothing less

Danceswithhorses · Sunday at 5:26 PM

Compare transfers - Grimes £3.5m vs Sheaf £6.5m
No contest...Grimes is superior in every way.
£6.5m fee for Sheaf is great business because his injury record is so poor.
Can feel a loan in to cover midfield until the next transfer window, unless the club had enough notice of Wrexham approach.

covcity4life · Sunday at 5:27 PM

Win win for me. I like sheaf so if he stays fine

But he is injury prone and 6.5m is a good fee and I am sure we will have plans how to spend it

Looks likely this is happening now. Tomorrow will be interesting. Could see a few in and out.

We may have over 20m to spend if we really wanna. Will be hard to get all targets over the line on final day though

Sheaf out £6.5m Hamer in loan with obligation, extra couple of mill to break Hulls resolve, loan in some kid for the wings.

yet he has proof in the pudding of being a good player. The chelsea lad has only ever played kids football

procdoc · Sunday at 5:28 PM

I’m concerned about the lack of incomings now though tbh

this is all i’ll accept now in this scenario

Greatest respect Huddersfield said Rudoni was awful and over priced …..

Smallbone is an excellent footballer.

Agreed

Jamesimus · Sunday at 5:28 PM

Considering we have a recruitment team, it would be a monumental failure if they didn’t have an up to date list of realistic possible replacements that we could get in for essentially any player that could leave.

Ccfcisparks · Sunday at 5:29 PM

Evo1883 said:
Agreed

unfortunately you are totally wrong. i like him as a player too, but David says he’s crap

Question of whether you can get it done though I guess.

I think we’re ok for defensive ish midfielders. If we’re going to lose anyone who isn’t a left back or a keeper it’s a CM

Jamesimus · Sunday at 5:30 PM

Ccfcisparks said:

Yes, in the past he has. Not recently though. Sometimes you have to gamble on the right time to sell a player. I think in Sheafs case that was end of 2024 season

saveitforthewombles · Sunday at 5:30 PM

I think the mindset needs to shift. We don't have to sell. We'll only sell when there's a plan to upgrade or build value over time with a younger player with potential. We've recruited well with a deliberate plan in the last few years....this is not Dom Hyam fire sale territory

long way home · Sunday at 5:30 PM

You would hope they came calling on Sheaf and kept it quiet until they could agree a fee. If so we would of known its on the cards and been doing the same elsewhere...

Again, the recruitment team should have at least a vague idea of the possibility of getting it done. If not, they’re not doing their job probably because they’re busy looking for recommendations in this thread…

Ccfcisparks · Sunday at 5:31 PM

apparently Hamer is following Rudoni on insta?

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Sunday at 5:31 PM

Gonna miss sheaf. Been one of my favourite players since coming in.

I’ve already been doing that, going home tomorrow so the game is almost up!

Briles said:
If we get a replacement by end of tomorrow then 6.5m is a brilliant bit of business. If we don't then it's absolutely shite

Edit* just watched the first half of Liverpool Arsenal. And if that's what the prem has to offer, I'd rather stay in the championship. Absolutely dire

I just said the same! Appalling fare for the watching public

I personally think whatever happens, if he doesn’t come back now, I am going to respect your right to have a complete meltdown on here.

thank you. You show me more respect than David does

Martw · Sunday at 5:34 PM

Doubt it as we keep things tighter than a Nuns whatsit

SkyBlueBarmy84 said:
Sheaf out: £6.5m
Giorgi Chakvetadze in: £5m

Bosh.

He was one I was absolutely thinking of

wingy · Sunday at 5:34 PM

Ccfcisparks said:
if Doug was competent he would have had him in a helicopter at 11am yesterday morning as soon as he got the call from wrexham

He may be here by tonight if it's in the helicopter, private jet and you're talking!

jto123 · Sunday at 5:35 PM

I swear this thread thinks the rules are that we can only buy former players

Hamer, O’Hare, Doyle. I’m half expecting someone to say we should re-sign Yakubu at this point

yakubu is retired

rob9872 · Sunday at 5:35 PM

Huge lack of respect for our captain and good servant. Injury record not what any of us would wish but he's far better than Allen or Eccles and id prefer those moved on instead. I know some would want this anyway, but lots of fickleness on show here. If he moves, he moves, hopefully for a decent fee and with a replacement lined up.

Blind-Faith said:
Agreed, was one of the best performances I’ve seen from him a couple of seasons ago at the CBS

The Georgian lad at Watford was I though superb here earlier in the year. Ran the game but was a bit of a one man team that day

procdoc · Sunday at 5:35 PM

He is following Hudlin though
