Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (21 Viewers)

Jamieb87ccfc · Sep 1, 2025

Without being negative, we are stronger in defence but weaker in Midfield and upfront after today and one of our better youngsters has gone on loan which to be fair he needs but one less player for the bench or injuries.
Austin does have a lot to answer for, and realistically needs replacing for us to push on. The guy failed as a manager and was doing this role at a non league club. Probably a cheap option at the time.
I have faith that King will replace him with someone better as he’s done with other back office areas.
Bonus is if it’s just one still some good free agents about to add some depth.

We'll be better than mid-table, but there was an opportunity to push on and we haven't taken it.

Yes because thats the alternative isn't it

How the flying fuck you can get rid of your captain in the middle of the park and not replace him is a beyond a joke to me. Genuinely baffled why they would ever sanction that and now we are left with Jamie Allen as the cover

Doug bling and dean Austin, they are both absolutely useless. People will just be blinded because we’ve got the stadium

Captain Dart · Sep 1, 2025

Are wage bill limitations causing the blockage?

I’m sure Lampard is delighted with the window

I wonder what his version of and Kings version of being backed are?? I suspect they might be oceans apart

Sometimes you have to pay close to what a club wants

Is it? We've been building a squad for 2/3 years.

Grimes came in January because it was clear Sheaf would be leaving at some point.

If it’s just the 1 in it’s a bit of a shambles really

yeah as overpaying for players etc has never got us in trouble before

rexo87 · Sep 1, 2025

What is a bit frustrating is the lack of a loan or 2 to tide you over until Jan, it’s happened a few times now where we’ve left ourselves a bit short

It’s why you have a recruitment team, to line up targets. If you don’t get one, you move on. It’s not like we only have 3 targets and couldn’t get them…

Lionelr · Sep 1, 2025

Questions have to be asked… the depth isn’t there and nearly all fans can see it. A few injuries or even 3 games in a week and results will suffer. There were 2 lists, one for promotion and one for championship, it must have been written on a napkin. You surely would have a contingency in place for struggling to get deals done. Theres been some great deals from other clubs, even on a free/loan basis. I’d guess Lampard isn’t the happiest at the situation given he’s previously commented on the struggle of a smaller squad.

I know I've hammed up the winding up but it really is.

covmutley · Sep 1, 2025

2 strikers out on loan leaves us short if the others are effectively the cover for wingers

This is the weakest Championship for years. If Torp continues like he has started it would be like having a new good signing.

Does Turner really know anything? Seems like a complete guess to me which he's trying to pass off as he's heard something....

He is usually right when he says this I’m afraid.

We've done that in recent years and overpaid for players haven't we?

The fact you dont see this window as a bit of a shambles and everyone else does doesnt suggest to you to admit you were wrong about this transfer window? Or do you have too much pride?

Bigelvesy · Sep 1, 2025

It does make me wonder how hard it must be to work in football recruitment departments. An entire season, with “a list for the premier league and a list for the championship”. Is the list just one person per position? Fucking hell

pusbccfc · Sep 1, 2025

Trueskyblue20 said:
It’s more common sense. If you don’t know for certain you can replace an integral part of your team then you don’t sanction it in any circumstance.

To go out and chance it and lose out (as we seem to do every recent summer transfer deadline day) is poor

Which integral part of the team did we lose?

Sheaf was replaced in January.

TBH if you’ve of offered brau, rushworth Hayden and Woolfenden and we’ll buy the ground, you’d have taken that

David O'Day · Sep 1, 2025

We've kept Rudi, Milan and Haji who were all at one stage liked with moves away.

We are down one often injured back up midfielder

We have swapped Binks for a much better CB

We finally have cover at rb

Everyone wants more players but idiots saying we will be lucky to mid table etc are just that idiots

Ccfcisparks · Sep 1, 2025

I love how its either sign no players or we sign overpriced crap players and no inbetween.

Its the director of footballs job to find players for a good price and he's failed.

Its the owners responsibility to negotiate good deals on players and hes failed.

He’ll just swear at you and call you thick or something…whilst making a few spelling mistakes

Speedie's Head · Sep 1, 2025

Let's leave out the Dean Austin is... it's really unpleasant and very spoilt child. I'm sure if he was useless he'd have been out ages ago

jas365 · Sep 1, 2025

Absolute shite to only bring 1 player in, then just to make it worse i popped CWR in and bloody Lorna Bailey is back on. Time to turn everything off.

We've had all summer to get a wide player to provide competitions to emc and sakamoto and could have loaned in a replacement for Sheaf fairly simply

Nick · Sep 1, 2025

Least we can watch rudoni play against us for Southampton.

Para1140 · Sep 1, 2025

Can someone let me know when the cake is being iced. Ive veen waiting since 8 this morning

He'll swear at me, insult me and then play the victim to the moderators when someone gives it back

Manchester_sky_blue · Sep 1, 2025

Don't care what turner says, not a chance we sanction a move for Bassette and Obikwu without having a new forward nailed on, we must have.

Centre mid I don't mind, Allen, Eccles and Andrews is enough cover until January. Obviously a CB is an absolute must.

Which stage of grief is denial again?

CBS16 · Sep 1, 2025

We still have a good team, but it's a poor transfer window and I don't think we can say Lampards been 'backed'. Losing Sheaf looks poor if we don't have a replacement ready, every other club seems to hold out for the replacement to be lined up except for us!
