Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

[Tony Angelino]

You've been going 60yrs and this summer is the one that makes you think the club isn't secure/worried about it's security.....come on if you've been going 60yrs you well know this doesn't even come into the same universe as were we have been before.

And just to add some realism into things....

We didn't get tim late, he came quite early in the summer.

It didn't take " a while to lose Jacob and Jaden, transfers with multiple clauses and different teams and agents involved take time and the club quite obviously wanted the best deal possible ( them leaving wasn't and isn't a surprise to the club )

And as you said yourself, the markets slow due to the euros and the points I mentioned earlier, yes the squad 100% needs adding to but again, as I said earlier we have only lost 1 player that we didn't already know was almost certainly going. There's stuff happening behind the scenes and the club ( quite rightly ) are keeping it quiet.

If we're still in this situation come the close of the window then by all means be worried, but it's nowhere near the close of the window and we won't be finishing it in the situation.

People really need to just relax a little

From what your hearing, are you confident the squad will be of the same quality as we finished the season with ?

Ita hard to say as who knows which signings will happen and I can guarantee a couple will come in late that we probably don't even know will be available yet.... Hence why I'm waiting till the close of the window to really decide on how I feel

Last year we had a great start to season, I believe we can't repeat that this year, I hope ending will be better.

Given the end of last year was the culmination of a 2.5 year investment cycle and there's currently a ground up rebuild I'm expecting a season of consolidation, then hopefully they'll have another push when ffp dictates we can start using external (Acuns) resources again.

He's alluded to as much by saying he will reinvest the transfer fees but maybe we won't see all of the benefit straight away.

I think 15m for 3 Fenerbahce rejects will piss people off more than the lack of signings. I'd be happy with Krunic or Crespo though

I seem to remember Acun at the Turkish press conference stating we weren't going to be buying cast-offs from Fenerbahce. Crespo might give us bite in the midfield though.

What happened to kalmans account?

he's too busy scouting the kazakhstan 4th division for another random suggestion for who we should sign.

He said maybe we will maybe we won't but they have to be what we're looking for didn't he?

I think we'll see heavy(ISH) investment if we're in the mix come Jan

That seems to be the strategy. Opportunistic. Probably because we can't sustain the levels we saw from Jan last year on a permanent basis over 3 years or however long the contracts would be.

But the ones you know of seem decent?

I'm not hearing to much ATM, everything is being kept very quiet. But what I am hearing I like, but I'm also taking things with a pinch of salt

Same here.

What you’ll see next week if it all goes to plan is Oscar coming in, a RB, a CB and a striker (if it gets signed off).

I was told the RB is in England and didn’t fly out to Turkey as it wasn’t sorted until Friday, so there wasn’t much point and he’s been training alone to keep fit. Should be in the squad for Donny.

A DM isn’t far off either and the names mentioned above from Turkey are serious targets. Crespo and Zajc want to come, not sure about the other fella but it’s about sorting a deal with Fener as they want at least €4m for Crespo and want the non-EU slots they will free up. Zajc isn’t much I think because they want him gone.

Striker is domestic and a loan with an option, currently nobody else in for him to scupper it as far as we know.

3 in next week will go a long way to settling the nerves. Very intrigued who the CB is as I think it's a very specialised position under Tim and we haven't really heard any rumours as yet. The striker coming from prem?

 

[Howdentiger2]

If all parties are sensible then I think it could be, but...others would be very interested

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

Would Morton fit the bill as a more physical, defensive minded no 6 that we know the manager wants?

 

[Steven Toast]

is morton a possibility, has he been mentioned ?

Yes, but not at the price mentioned. Simons emergence has also been a factor. The club wanted him back and Liverpool were happy to do it, but Simons has done so well (and Tinsdale, actually) that we've held off for now. Might cost us if we go elsewhere, but I like him, I think for a player of that ability you're always going to pay more than you need to, whether he fits Tim's system is another matter entirely.

 

[Baldrick's Cunning Plan]

Siniks crocked again.

End of August.

What year?

 

[bradymk2]

What year?

I watched dr strange last night
Itd take a millon multiverses for sinik to be fit
