Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

The statement when we signed him said we'd agreed compensation. It was probably nominal though

 

He turned down a contract offer from them, they wanted him to stay.

He didn't see 1st team opportunities

 

Didn't look that way when Jones was played ahead of him.

 

Cartwright is a couple of seasons away from challenging for our No1 spot

 

Cartwright was the one Peter VD was most excited about of all he saw when he arrived...

 

Of course, but we've still got Ingram as the no. 1

 

If ever proof were needed that FC Massive was truly a massive club. the signing of Wilks must surely put to rest any lingering doubts

 

Who's leading the division for saves at the moment....

Never know. Big PL offer could come in and he might want to go, and we'd still have the option on Baxter.
There are so many possibilities in the coming year that it's not really worth speculating about next summer at the moment.

 

I'd rather he'd been quieter but he's had a great start

The club must be as it's a pretty big leap to give a young kid effectively a 5 year deal

 

Cartwirghts injury really was awful timing. Was probably set to start the season as number 1, but will now have a hard time usurping the Chelsea loanee who's playing well (Copy of the Baxter/Ingram situation really)

 

Yet McCann gave Baxter his chance despite the form of Ingram. No reason why he wouldn't do the same at P'boro.

 

Bergstrom is a young keeper too though so he'll have his wobbles

 

Completely different scenarios, we were bottom of the league and he was desperate for something to change. P'boro are flying and would be a very bold move to drop him

 

Was a bold move to drop Ingram as he'd single handedly kept us in games at the time and was one of our best players in a struggling team.

I'd be very surprised if Harvey didn't get his chance at some point - but he obviously has to get fit first.

 

Having an option also means terms with the player are agreed. It's the same with Salah from Arsenal.

 

They might be agreed but they certainly aren't signed.

If the player has a storming season, and he receives a better offer from elsewhere, there's nothing stopping him from taking it

 

I'm well aware, just as I was the last time you tried to make this argument no one was countering.

I'm still waiting for an example of a player on a loan with an option to buy being bought by another club despite the loaning club triggering the option though.

My go to podcast for all these discussions actually had a question on loans with options to buy recently, and said as much. While it's not set in stone, if the player has agreed terms to go on loan, the chances or occurrence of them not then signing if the club triggers the option are minute.

Once again you're trying to make out that these deals are more secure than they are
