Transfer Rumour Summer Transfer Window 2026 (22 Viewers)

Yep, only Ipswich came straight back up last season, the season season before Sheffield United missed out and look at them now.
To be fair, of the 3 teams that went down the year before Leicester were a basket case and Southampton would have probably won the play offs if it wasn't for the spying.

Sheffield united blew a play off final, went weird and got in to AI scouting and were also taken over by a bunch of people it seems didn't actually have the money they said.

Luton went down as well but they really didn't strengthen as they wanted the money for a stadium. There will be expceptions but mostly the relegated team go back up.
 
I’d give the window a 6.5/10

Said we’d sign 7-9 and we’ve signed 10 (not counting Onyeka) so can’t complain too much

It looks like we failed in two key areas of the squad build

1. We’re relying on two teenagers to improve our left-hand side (Cherif & Mfuni)
2. No experienced CM
 
We might just have to settle for two bites of the apple. More often than not, clubs who stay up need a few goes at it.

Bournemouth
Leeds
Fulham
Ipswich? If they don’t stay up, they’re fucked.

I suppose you had Brentford, BHA, Forest and (arguably) Sunderland who stayed up at the first time of asking way back when.



He won a few of those by just bodying the Hull player around him, he was surprisingly good defensively.

It’s more like 60/40 towards first time survival to establish yourself in the league.

Apart from Oneka's 75+ PL games?

In addition to Onyeka who was already here. Most important part of the pitch needs top-level quality

Brentford had Eriksen & Sunderland had Xhaka - we have Grimes & no backup 6

Leiceseter had Cambiasso the season they had their great escape,

As above both Oneyka and Caleb can play as a 6.

Forgive but I'll choose to trust Frank Lampard's views on what we need in midfield.
 
BTA is not good enough and should be sold…but why the fuck are we considering getting rid without replacing?
 
Assuming nothing mental happens, window is probably a 6/10 for me. Couple of really exciting signings (Amenda/Yirenkyi), couple of logical ones (Pinnock/Hamer/Awoniyi) and a few wildcards who could take it to an 8/10 or down to a 4/10 depending on how they pan out (Mfuni/Cherif).

Excited to see how we setup vs Man City at the weekend, more important than anything happening today for me - if Frank rocks up and sets us up 4-3-3 then I’ll start moving closer to some of the other headloss on here.

It would be hilarious and very us after all the bitching for us to go out and get a shock point/win at the weekend mind.
 
Well no one actually knows what the club wanted to do or tried to do
We can see what happened though, which is that all the money got spent on other positions leaving a child CB to fill in at LB

I reckon Yirenkyi is going to show us hes something really special in that 6/8 role. Then we have Frank, Hamer and Grimes all who can, if needed, play minutes as the 6 or 8 around Yirenkyi.
My guess is we've picked up Yirenkyi instead of experience, on a bit of a gamble, but likely with doug's business head on due to onward sale value.
 
We've fucked the Simms situation right up.

We're now going into the autumn with him in the final year contract and he either loses all value through not playing him or he does well and can sign a pre-contract in January.
A very confusing window

We could seriously have got £10M + for him .
Big foul up

Surely we have a years option?
