Transfer Rumours Summer 2024

Though Cornet would be a scoop.

Sorry

 

Aboukhlal scored in three of the first four marches this season and then suffered a serious knee injury, so the ideal candidate to teach Ross Dutch and Moroccan while together with the physio.

 

We have Ugochukwu on loan. All the GK rumours are for a loan, Alberto the Brazil striker is being talked about as a loan and now talk of a various wingers, Cornet, Kostic on loan.

 

Am I being greedy in hoping we sign Kostic and Fellows (or another RW)

Kostic would work well in games with the wing backs (and KWP back on the right assuming he stays). More potent in an attacking sense.

Wonder if brining in Kostic would see Edozie or Sulemana move out one way or another

 

The two loans cap is only relevant to PL clubs dealing with each other

 

Which seems to confirm that the cap of two is from premier league and we can have 4 in total. Otherwise talk of all these loans would be a bit pointless

 

It's always important to get your second Serb in.

 

I don't think there's any limit on loans from abroad.

 

You can have a soda with either of them.

 

On the assumption that Ramsdale is our primary focus for the second loan spot from a PL club, that would rule out Cornet (or any other further PL loans) though. Wonder if there’s any chance we do a Sheffield Utd/Villa deal like the Archer one, to get around that if we run out of other options.

 

Would cornet play as a false 99?

 

Cornet would need whippying in to shape though.

 

We'd be wafer thin without him.

 

Would need to check on Cornet's injuries because I think he's been a bit flakey before

 

There's no rum or raisin why we shouldn't sign him.

 

Latest from Sky Sports' Lyall Thomas and Dharmesh Sheth:

Southampton remain in discussions over the potential signing of Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale – but they are not close to an agreement and have other options they are pursuing.

The clubs have been in talks for some time and, although Saints have discussed the numbers again today, they are not nearing an agreement, contrary to reports elsewhere.

Southampton have as many as four or five other goalkeeper targets they are working on, with Ramsdale’s valuation at Arsenal still too high for them to reach.

Ramsdale is also on a sizeable wage at the Emirates after signing a new contract in May 2023 that runs until 2026.

Ajax also remain interested but – again – the value of the purchase on any loan deal remains too high for them.

Arsenal have preferred to sell Ramsdale this summer.

If he leaves they are likely to accelerate a deal for Espanyol ‘keeper Joan Garcia.

He is thought to have a £25m (€30m) release clause in his Espanyol contract, although remains to be seen whether that can be negotiated.

 

His wages are almost certainly far too high for Ajax.

 

Immediately Tommed.

 

I’m not sure there are many players this will be worth it for and that the clubs would want to do it for. I’d expect only maybe City or Chelsea young players. And Chelsea’s psr means they probably won’t want to commit to an automatic buy back in the event of relegation
