Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (28 Viewers)

[Deity]

Isn’t Grimes the same age as Toff? Personally think he would be a superb signing , PL experience and a really good championship left back, an absolute wand of a left peg

no real resale value but in his prime years and would certainly make us better down the left side

Very one paced though …. As is Kitch. Makes our left side defence quite exposed.

Grimes has played every week for god knows how many years now. If Toffolo joined us with a similar number of games played as Grimes I’d have no issue.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Have seen quite a few Sheff Utd fans saying he’s nailed on to go there so looks like he will be going.

Toffolo?

Doubt it, they have Harrison Burrows and Sam McCallum already

No mate, Jimmy Dunne. They seem to think it’s more or less signed

Shame really he's a good defender

 

[procdoc]

I would have liked Dunne here, always looked decent

 

[Jamesimus]

I struggle to believe DCL

My understanding is KKH Only happens if Milan is going

Jamal Lewis I have no idea what's happened there it was looking nailed on 6 weeks back but there were other suitors

We're in for Toffolo aswell

No idea really if KKH is as good as MVE, but how likely is it that MVE is going? I think he’ll be a big miss.

 

[fernandopartridge]

No doubt Toffollo is a good Championship defender but I don't think he's that good that it's worth his no doubt large salary, especially as he'll have not much sell on value

Tend to agree, he’d need to take big wage cut.

Milans a lot more likely to go than Haji and Rudoni

However the 'Cork in the bottle' so to speak is Sheaf. What he decides to do will set everything off i feel

Feel like the money we'd get for Sheaf could offer us more than Sheaf has recently.

Do you have any idea if there is actually interest in Sheaf?

Not sure where the market is for him after the season he's had

 

[SkyblueTexan]

A lot of people mention Jimmy Dunne I thought he was hopeless when we played just big but very slow, I know it’s a view of one game.

Sheff Utd are reportedly gong all in for him

2 points on this: would you get that much for him now? And would you still expect to get the same fee if he has a decent season but only 1 year left on his contract?

Assuming he’s not on astronomical wages, I’d be tempted to keep him on for another year and use him both as cover for Grimes but also in a double pivot which we’ll no doubt play in the ‘bigger’ games.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

He is a really good Championship player and would be a good signing as he’s better than what we have by far.

Yes there are issues he’s hardly played in the last 2 years and he won’t be up to scratch straight away but that’s what you use pre season for.

Agreed on this season. Last season (23/24), he appeared in 24 out of 38 Prem games which is decent. I’ve not checked if that’s full games or cameos to be honest.

Edit: checked his minutes in 23/24 and he played a decent amount of minutes in Forest’s first 2 seasons in the Prem.

Sheaf’s best bet of Premiership football is with us and frankly, this season has been a setback for him so his value has tanked from our POV.

I don’t think he’ll leave this summer because it doesn’t suit either party imo.

Not sure they’d right ….

Shesf will go if he gets the right offer and the club will let him move on if a fair offer is made.

it doesn’t suit either party for him to stay and run down his contract

 

[JoshCCFC1987]

can’t believe people are debating wether toffolo would be a good signing, he’s a clear upgrade on bidwell and whatever fee we were to get for bidwell would cover the wage difference between the two

The way you describe it, then yes we would sell him.

What would the club define as ‘the right offer?’ My suspicion is that the club’s valuation probably hasn’t dropped from 23/24 when we rejected approaches from Southampton and Luton.

Without knowing figures involved, let’s assume we valued him at £10m last summer. We would be lucky to get that after his stop-start season this year. If the club believe he’s still worth that, they won’t sell this year. It’s worth the gambling on keeping him and if he has a good year, cash in and if he struggles again, we know we have to take a hit on the valuation.

The situation outlined with Sheaf applies to a few other players in the squad. Selling this year is premature.

There was only one offer last season and it was the player that rejected the move not the club.

I’m sure @Jimmy87 claimed we rejected an offer from Southampton and Sheaf wasn’t happy about it.

If I’m wrong, I’ll hold my hands up.

Just what I was told.
Jimmy87 is a reliable source and I have no contact in the club at all but I posted this and I posted we'd be signing Rudoni and both bits of info came from members of the players families.

For some reason I can't edit my original reply to you but just found Jimmy's tweet.
He put that up in September after the summer window, I posted mine much earlier so possibly both could be true.

 

[CovLad94]

Seeing Josh Coburns name being banded about on X, one city fan claiming he's heard or seen him signing a deal with Cov.

I have a mate who’s got a dog that used to be owned by Frank Lampard’s cousin who saw him having dinner in Southampton with the Redknapps

 

[Grendel]

He's played about 2 games in 5 years

He’s also 40

What large salary?
If he's out of contract who's paying him a large salary?

What he earned last season is irrelevant, he's about to be unemployed.

Do you work in HR by any chance?

No, definitely not in HR. (Bunch of PC tossers )

Any player who transfers club terminates their previous contract, what's the difference? He will have salary expectations that will almost certainly be towards the top of our wage bill.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

MVE & Wright are the mostly likely stars to leave this summer. We have zero pressure to sell Rudoni and I think even the player knows he needs another big season in championship before moving on.

On Sheaf, I can’t see there being many buyers for him at a price we’d find acceptable. Anything below £7m is a waste of time because we’d need to spend around that getting a replacement. Now we know he has 2 years left on his contract, the club would be better off him having a good 25/26 and cashing in Jan / summer 2026 at an inflated value.

It’s the same with Simms, Kitching and BTA - zero point in selling players with decent contracts when their values have tanked.

Co’mon @shmmeee, does Fatso seem the type to work in HR?!

His response says it all!

 

[JSL]

I think Doug, Frank and the team are realistic enough to know that we almost made it and with a few quality additions in the right places we can move onwards and that they will know that the required quality will require strong wages

 

[fatso]

Every player will have expectations, but you tend to find reality will temper those expectations.

At the moment us and Norwich are rumoured to be in the running, so he will have to fit into the wage structure of those clubs.
Obviously being a free could give him some wiggle room for negotiation. But he won't be on PL wages at either club.
