Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (58 Viewers)

[Perennial Lurker]

It's good in one respect but ironically it's one of the positions we've forward planned for. Selling Sheaf looks a bit desperate now and leaves us short of the quality we need in midfield. We are still short at right and left wing.

By signing Woolfenden it does give us the opportunity to play wing backs instead of wingers of and when injured/suspensions determine

Lampard might call his best mate Willian tomorrow

Not sure signing him from the Black Eyed Peas will make much of a difference to our squad

I think we were desperate. Even without the stadium purchase, I said on here 2 weeks ago that we probably don't have the funds without selling an asset.

Have we got enough central midfielders to do it now

why did we bid £10m on hughes then?

Is Dabo still a free agent ?

 

[Didge76]

Are we officially done ??? If so I’m good with it.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

why did we bid £10m on hughes then?

None of us know how much we bid or how the bid was structured

 

[blunted]

I refuse to believe he isn’t under instruction to do that. Surely Lampard would be tearing his hair out with him and would have stopped playing him there is he keeps ignoring his position to that magnitude?

Haji sometimes appears on the wings and BTA through the centre when he plays on the wings. Pretty sure it is a fluid front three thing.

Sorry mate, I meant Will Ferrell

 

[Ccfcisparks]

None of us know how much we bid or how the bid was structured

there would have been a significant amount upfront and that was before we knew sheaf was going?

 

[David O'Day]

I totally get we could have had more depth but to keep the best XI together is a good thing. We have a very good team and it is 3 months until the next window.

 

[pusbccfc]

Either we never actually thought we'd get him at that price, as Hull made clear. Or, we still hoped/expected to sell MVE/Sheaf.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

True but there has been interest surrounding MvE all summer. Surely we knew we were going to lose at least one valuable player from the squad

 

[David O'Day]

Either we never actually thought we'd get him at that price, as Hull made clear. Or, we still hoped/expected to sell MVE/Sheaf.

Hughes was never really on unless we made it impossible to say no which wouldn't have been a good deal for us so we got our 2nd target.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Either we never actually thought we'd get him at that price, as Hull made clear. Or, we still hoped/expected to sell MVE/Sheaf.

So we just bid for a laugh and weren’t serious about signing him? What was our plan if Hull accepted?

 

[pusbccfc]

Hughes was never really on unless we made it impossible to say no which wouldn't have been a good deal for us so we got our 2nd target.

Exactly, we were never going to pay what they wanted and we shouldn't. He's not worth that to us right now.

 

[covcity4life]

Fucking age till next game now ffs

 

[David O'Day]

I'm also glad that when teams like Southampton and Wolfsburg came sniffing around our players we didn't cave in when they didn't off what we thought was the price for us.

That is a good thing.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

they’re wrapping themselves up in knots

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I get the sense Woolfenden was our first target and then when the interest in Thomas materialised we pursued Hughes

 

[David O'Day]

Exactly, we were never going to pay what they wanted and we shouldn't. He's not worth that to us right now.

yep, as has been said their embargo made his cost right now far too much for anyone to pa

these things happen

 

[Perennial Lurker]

How ? It coincided with the Thomas interest didn't it?

 

[pusbccfc]

So we just bid for a laugh and weren’t serious about signing me him? What was our plan if Hull accepted?

We would have found the money, like we did with the stadium.

We aren't in the position to keep buying players without selling assets. If we had signed him, someone would have gone in Jan.

We've balanced the books quite nicely this window and will leave a bit of room to spend in January should we need to.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

is there a mongo-esque winger in the academy we can use.

the thought of brau or kkh as wingers is depressing

 

[David O'Day]

I get the sense Woolfenden was our first target and then when the interest in Thomas materialised we pursued Hughes

could be, okay when Hughes was not worth the money required we got the other of our top 2 targets

 

[Skybluedownunder]

To be honest I can see Tom Lawrence haha

I’d rather Patrick Bamford. Don’t want to see Tom Lawrence here

We were tracking Lawrence in June according to the Scottish press.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

When I saw this I thought we’d signed Edwin Van Der Sar

 

[David O'Day]

So we just bid for a laugh and weren’t serious about signing him? What was our plan if Hull accepted?

We would of signed him but likely the money would of then had to come from the likely sale of someone like Rudi next summer who if he has another great season will attract bigger clubs than Southampton or if we somehow got promoted the increase in revenue would have covered it.

Bamford has been pretty rubbish for a good while and plays in a role we have 3 players in already. Lawrence for his faults does play in a 10 or on the wings which would be more valuable to us and our current squad.

Lawrence is absolutely shite and would take until January to get fit.

I know Laurence was in Lampard's Derby team that got to the playoffs.
Few years ago now. Anyone have any sensible observations why we might want him or has he gone over the hill?
Wonder why he is a free agent? Wages or is he no good now?
Must admit, I know nothing about him.
Ali is a car crash. Wrexham or Blues will probably sign the Ox

He's not that bad but you crack on fat boy, so the Norwich game yeah?

Keep calling me fat when I'm literally not fat, its hilarious. You throw insults round thinking they are gonna stick when they wont.
