Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (17 Viewers)

[Ccfcisparks]

Douglas has done a psychological masterclass here in stockholm syndrome.

Most thought we would still make 4 signings

Then most would be happy with signing a quality forward and a cb

Then we were happy with a quality CB and a good loan forward

Now we'd just be happy signing a CB and if we do we will convince ourselves its been an amazing window.

Have we signed anyone yet?

Current state of play..

Players we have apparently bid for:
Hughes - rejected
Woolfenden - rejected
Godo - under consideration

Players we have half credible links to:
Asante (Tel Aviv)
Boving (Sturm Graz)

And the only one we are likely to get is the worst player on there!

Patrick Beaur (Wimbledon)

Yeh my bad, i also forgot...

Players that missed their flight:
Dolan

 

[TomRad85]

I think i'd be tempted to go the foreign route and pursue Asante or someone similar for our new CB, the Championship market is a difficult one to navigate and players tend to go for inflated fees now.

Please God no.

He’s shite. That performance against us however many years ago is the highlight of his career.

I want Doug to sign somebody (I wanna pay a fee for somebody)


Clock strikes upon the hour
Transfer window begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to beat the Blues away
Doug’s done alright up 'till now
It's the king of the shaves that shows him how
And when the night falls, loneliness calls

Oh, I want Doug to sign somebody
I wanna pay a fee for somebody
Yeah, I want Doug to sign somebody
And spend all of his money

 

[MusicDating]

Maybe Tanganga isn’t that good?

It is a bit weird. He's 26 and 85 career appearances. Looked good when he first appeared for Spurs with the exuberance of youth, but since then? Meh

Wait… so we aren’t getting Vardy?

Didn't Joe Edwards take him to Millwall? You'd think he'd have a pretty good insight on the player.

 

[Matt smith]

Wheres Raheem sterling?

I'm still raging King didn't go for Cunha, he would surely loved to have not had to move house.

We have made 3 signings so if we make 1 or 2 more most people will have been right ….

Erm I made a poll after 3 signings asking how many more we would make which is what I'm referring to.

Need to get this going at the weekend, sing it over and over, Douglas will hear it alright

 

[Deity]

Tanganga isn’t available for the knock down price being discussed …. His signing on fee and personal terms are very significant.

This is how buy out clauses work … if a player has a relatively cheap buy out clause the players agent wants his true market value reflected in the package for the player. It’s just a variant on the Bosman economics …..

The crowd owes me that much after ignoring ‘His name is a cake’

Lol Douglas will have no choice but to spend, or we could nick his laptop and start firing offers off for players lol

I considered taking Will King hostage but on reflection feared it might have the opposite effect.

it does offer better potential value

torp for example would cost a fortune if he was a championship to championship signing

I'll join you and we will give it a go, but it might end up like the scene from bottom when Rik and Eddie have footage of the PM up to some naughty stuff but instead of demanding sandwiches it'll be demanding CH/LW/ST and maybe throw a LB in

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Might apply

No way is that real. That is shocking. What is the recruitment team doing?

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Bottom is in my top 5 of all time , below Only Fools, Auf Wiedersehen and Rab C Nesbitt

I'm not left footed but sometimes you have to bullshit to get the job, oh shit hope Douglas doesn't see this thread

I'd probably have it top 5 too actually, Blackadder and Father Ted too, the remaining 2 spots probably between about 10 different ones i'd rank different every time. Not to be old fart about it but certainly nothing from the last, say, 15 years.

Love Blackadder not massively keen on Father Ted but the comedy today is pretty shite, in my post above Its in order; Only Fools, Auf Wiedersehen, Rab C Nesbitt, Bottom, and Goodnight Sweetheart... I know it's not everyone's cup of tea and strictly not a joke after joke type of show but I loved it and found it funny

When you said 15 years, I had to look for Peep Show. Then I checked and realised it’s already 20 years old. Suddenly made me feel extremely old myself!
