Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (161 Viewers)

[long way home]

The club being secretive is creating absolute panic on this forum. Its the desperation for any news that's making the posts get more and more random.

Chill Winston's... Things will happen and if they don't FL or Doug will have to explain and if they think the squad is good enough results will determine who is right.

Tbf Angus Gunn was a name I'd heard from somebody a while back who usually heats bits and pieces. Could be bollocks just like a JH promise

 

[Chris1987]

If there are players FL wants to sell its going to take time . Some will be more difficult to move on than others and presumably replacements will have to be lined up for when some of them go. The notion that DK should just put his hand in his pocket and stump up for new signings is not a sound model .

 

[Viktor17]

So no Collins, binks, Bassette again today - wonder if things are happening.

Wouldn't read too much into it. It's pre-season, a tiny niggle will mean they won't risk playing someone. Doesn't mean they won't be moved on, just that not appearing in a friendly means nothing in terms of whether players are in plans.

What’s the story @Jimmy87 ?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Ive genuinely got nothing to report

 

[Hobo]

Likewise , I've never understood the Gunn lovein on here . Mediocre keeper at best

Probably like the Collins love in when he signed.

 

[shmmeee]

Isn't this whole Hamer replacement argument wearing thin by now ?
If it was as easy as finding a player as good as him why didn't we , and why don't other clubs ?
Fact is , as he's proven since , that Gus was and is a level above. Also his ability to play 6/8/10 in any given system isn't something that many modern players can do .
I agree however that expecting Ayari to fill his role was extremely optimistic

Just get an average player and ban him from kebabs apparently

Get it done

They’ve all trained - I saw Collins myself this morning, it’s odd they’ve had no minutes.

Would be for best to move them on / loan out Bassette.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Get it done

Hang on does that mean the facebook post Had truth to it. Holy shit

Madness ain’t it lol, he’d be a really good addition. Looks like Brighton don’t want to sell though so think we have to move on

Facebook post said we had bid 6 million for him. Who knows

What Facebook post, what have I missed?

Is this a Liam Varney promise?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Get it done

But the experts on here were telling me the management clearly are happy with Wilson

 

[long way home]

FL and Doug must be very confident in what they have and what they see, if they are not actively looking to move on at least 4 of the current squad to improve the quality. In my opinion we need to create space and money to reinvest if we are trying to go one better than last season. If DK and FL are happy as is, I think it's a top 10 squad if nothing changes.

Not Liam.

Someone new said we were the team who bid 6 million on Rushworth and that we had money in the bank and not too worry

Binks & Bassette played in the first game.

Just found this from two days ago.

Yep you’re right. My mistake.

Still narrative around them seems to be best to move on perhaps.

let’s see.

He valued at £2.75m, so that’s a massive transfer fee for a goalkeeper who hasn’t played much at £6m

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yep you’re right. My mistake.

let’s see.

Perhaps we wanted to get a look at Obikwu and Perry before we send them out on loan, and Bassette and Binks will be back next game.

It's still currently largely the same squad that finished 5th last year.

Binks I agree, Bassette not so much. He's a young lad. Maybe a loan wouldn't hurt him but also would be quite happy for him to stay around the squad.

Low hanging fruit to say bids have been rejected, you can't be proven wrong either way.

"If" we have got 6 million kicking around i'd sincerely hope it could be spent elsewhere

 

[Viktor17]

Oh agree on NB loan - he’s rough diamond I think.

 

[Briles]

"If" we have got 6 million kicking around i'd sincerely hope it could be spent elsewhere

Exactly that.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

"If" we have got 6 million kicking around i'd sincerely hope it could be spent elsewhere

I don't think we do and the last place we'll spend it is in goal. I'm expecting Wilson to start the season

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

True but is the first link to us with the player. Unless I missed something

 

[Winny the Bish]

£6m for a keeper while we’ve still got glaring weaknesses at ST and CB is mad

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Is he a 6 million keeper ?
Nothing I've read on him fills me with a lot of confidence

 

[long way home]

I agree if that's what they want this squad is capable. But to go one step better we need to improve because if you stand still others will pass you by. I'm just posting we need to improve in areas where we can all see we are weak.

 

[Deity]

Jesus you can’t please our fans ….

we need a better keeper …. Linked to a much better keeper …. Oh not that good a keeper !
