Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (124 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

What paid for Grimes in that case?

Saddle definitely gets info but like fuck does his source know the exact financial details I’m sorry. He said in Jan we were skint then said we were skint again. I can believe it’s one in one out for squad and wage reasons it because we’ve run out of transfer funds.

I really don't but thanks for your input.

keep telling yourself that, but that has diddly squat to do with my point

sorry

 

[Matt smith]

What do we actually need desperately if no outgoings?

Just a RW to battle it out with saka?

I have a sneaky feeling we might get that George from Chelsea

 

[shmmeee]

I said it was too strong and below average/poor was fair

Binks Raphael BTA and Bassette were the other 4 signings that summer.

Two of those are kids.

So of first team signings we’ve got two backups who are OK and three first teamers who did well. Again, not ridiculous by any measure.

 

[SBT]

We signed theee first team players Rudoni EMC and Dovin, all were a success really. Just cos you don’t think Luis Bunks is an amazing backup for £1m doesn’t mean recruitment was “ridiculous”

We also spent about £5 million combined on BTA and Bassette which seems like questionable business (but could also shake out as OK)

Would be a unreal signing that

I would imagine Palmer's fee and wages at least contributed somewhat - albeit we only received £1m so it wouldn't have been much

 

[Matt smith]

Just think they’ve beefed up their forward options this summer.

think it’s one of those that with FL we could possibly get done

clueless

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

I can't see Lampard not using his Chelsea connections this summer, I'm sure hell get at least a loan in from them

The Vik sale, if it happens, gets the club about £4 million. Yet it hasn’t actually happened yet and we also spent a similar sum on Grimes and KKH each.

We also didn’t sell anyone for big money last year, which tells me that King must be topping up the funds himself, unless our commercial income has suddenly spiked.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

A contribution sure, but for about half the fee at most.

I'd imagine George would absolutely smash the league apart

 

[Cally Fedora]

That stance makes perfect sense and to be honest it’s where the vast majority of clubs are.

Watch Swansea a lot do you? No but my colleague is a season ticket holder. He was delighted when they got shot of him. He played semi pro football and is normally a good judge of a player.

Sorry but some folks need to start engaging some critical thinking when it comes to "ITKs".

Based on the sheer range of information they talk to with such conviction (details of finances and deals, impending player ins and outs, player moods and thoughts), the only possible person who could be their source is the all seeing eyes of God.

Depending on their dealings he maybe too close to their 1st team

Yep, it’s feels like most of the time is people putting 2 + 2 together to get 5

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Yes, hence the words 'it wouldn't have been much'.

But regardless, Palmer moving late on in the summer would've still enabled the club to somewhat mitigate the outlay of Grimes' fee and certainly a significant proportion of his wages in January.

 

[Trueskyblue20]

Ive been told this morning that unless its frees or loans, no one else is coming in until we've offloaded some

Probably not groundbreaking info, but the issue is no ones attracted even a bid yet. Not even Milan

Not saying this isn’t true but we’ve heard exactly the same line from the likes of GIMOC the last 2/3 windows and then always signed players after

In fairness to Saddlebrains, he probably does view Richard Overson as some kind of god

I don't believe his source knows financial details either, never have. It would make sense as a piece of guesswork though, it's why I don't understand anyone wanting to keep around 2 of the best RBs in the division. It's a complete waste for us and we'd be better off with the MvE money imo.

I assumed we’d have seen MVE out by now. The plan surely cannot be to have both of them.

I'm saying this is the case here but there is a fear of not being important if you don't have any "info"

Tbf Chelsea buy everyone, wouldnt be suprised if they loan us George and brought in 5 players in his place lol

 

[TomRad85]

I'd give a seriously good handy to anyone willing to take Simms or BTA too. Thus allowing us to try again for someone half decent.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

I think the club were just being proactive. Seems Villa wanted rid of as many players as possible to leave before the PSR deadline so we made a move.

DK has previously said he'll certainly strike a deal if it's right for the club. But I'd imagine there's a finite limit to that statement.

MVE will still go though in this window I think. Him moving to a new agency is probably a sign of that.

 

[David O'Day]

are they not one of the teams uefa has said needs to post a positive transfer balance or face sanctions

 

[shmmeee]

Think we’re getting a fair collection of dead wood that needs clearing out. We’ve got three left backs for a start.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I'd give a seriously good handy to anyone willing to take Simms or BTA too. Thus allowing us to try again for someone half decent.

I think MR could definitely be persuaded to return for BTA. If we break even on Simms I’d be surprised.

 

[Lionelr]

If we don’t sign anyone else and retain the squad we will be in a good place. My only slight concern is lack of options in the wings, Lampard likes to play with wingers and if we get any injury’s we’ve not really got any options. If Milan goes I hope we get another back up right back too rather than praying kkh is fit all year round.
You’d think a loan goalkeeper would be incoming?

 

[JSL]

Saying you are skint and are not in for anyone else unless there are outgoings first is surely a rous to put people off the scent as to what's really happening.

 

[Saddlebrains]

@Saddlebrains any news on loanees or if Doug is going to allow any ?

Think we still need a decent CB and an attacking midfielder.

Rest of the squad has improvement in it and if we start well will push at the right end of the table

He's more open to loans this window having seen the impact player like Le Fee had on Sunderland

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

They've got to sell now or they will be in trouble, I read somewhere they need to raise 60m in players sales

Bling is broke. Colour me shocked.
