Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

Macca was excellent tonight. Probably outperformed Jones this preseason.

 

I always felt Jones was massively helped out by Greaves

 

Jones cemented his place before Greaves did. Think we forget Greaves only really came to the fore over the last couple of seasons.

And of course Macca and Jones were the pairing for a lot of the previous-to-last season with Greaves at LB.

He's a solid enough squad option, but if you add both potential in Hughes and McKenna for experience to the current pair we'd look pretty strong in that area on paper at least.

 

You mean the same Alfie Jones that played excellently when Greaves was out at LB?

 

Thought he went well tonight but looks rusty and is learning a new formation. He certainly has an engine on him

 

Macca was good tonight, Jones is looking the one that can’t be relied upon in this system

 

I always used to think Jones looked a bit suspect at the back, but improved dramatically last season. Coincidentally when paired regularly next to Greaves. Whether that had any bearing I’m not sure but he’s not looked great this preseason

 

Really? The first 70 mins was as bad as we've played in a long time.

 

They've both had up and down pre seasons, I still think Macca will be gone by the end of the window.

 

Not sure it's new this summer? We knew all about the Maguire and Bowen add ons for instance.

It's of use because it tells us how much more money we could make from sales.

 

No Syd, it's so you can act like a silly **** and pretend to be itk. Didn't you know?

Someone with the IQ of an amoeba said so earlier.

 

You guys keep telling X will be gone by the end of window etc. but I guess you are not aware that we have 14-15 senior players only. In order to start sending players we need at least 9 players. I feel like most of these players will stay here to cover the bench.

 

Only ones i can see leaving

Is vaughan
Smith
And maybe longman

 

Yeah I thought we seemed to be one of the first clubs to do this and it never really made sense. I suppose though it should add more value. For instance we sold Tufan with one year but an un-exercised extra year so theoretically had two years to run. It seems more for cash strapped clubs which we're (hopefully) not anymore.

 

Yes, they probably will. But that's fine as long as the key positions get filled like the look like they will.

 

Material transactions are usually disclosed in Financial Statements.

 

I still enjoyed it. Fiorentina played some nice stuff. I can still enjoy a game without it being a classic. Was nice to spend time with the family and just be back at the stadium again tonight and saturday after a few months away.

 

I'm not sure he did have an option year. You might want to check that.

 

Gotta be honest I watched most of that thinking were making as many backwards passes as Liam got trounced for.

It's amazing how unconscious bias can affect how we see things differently, isn't it?

 

There were nowhere near as many backwards passes tonight as any game I remember last season. Its time to let him go. If he is that good he will be ripping it up all over Europe for years to come and you can sleep soundly knowing you were right and he is the god.
