Transfer Rumours Winter 2025 Transfer Thread

[Shark Sports]

The rules are farcical, absolutely.

But to take advantage of the loopholes you have to be in a position to, and we aren't.

Acun put in £28m last year, I wouldn't expect the Birmingham owners to have to put in that much more this year.

Acun cant put anything in this year as a consequence.

It's a moot argument anyway 'cos were not going down.

UTT.

 

[NewcastleTiger]

Conor Townsend we've sold lower who's played above city.

Who else in recent years? Andrews maybe? Marney? Did Corry Evans do it?

Oh, and who was that lanky striker from the academy did well in Scotland then came back and was a solid journeyman. Name escapes me.

Think he scored against Newcastle in a friendly once.

Cairney and Cooper

 

[SydneyTiger14]

Dan James would be an obvious one..

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

Cairney and Cooper

Cooper we definitely sold lower, then from Chesterfield he took himself lower still, in every sense of the word but his eventual success was more leadership than ability. So begrudgingly, yes.

He's still a **** though.

I'll give you Cairney. Mistake that from Bruce.

But we got money for Tom, and he contributed for us, so a bigger mistake from Liam Coopers mighty shytes and Cairney's boyhood club for releasing him in the first place, daft bastards. Could probably have done with him in league 1.

As was Evans imho - but we got Meyler, so that evens it up.

(See what I did there? Evans/evens? Almost poetry.)

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

Dan James would be an obvious one..

We didn't sell him. Their academy could offer him a contract due to being a cat A. We couldn't stand in his way and a tribunal set the fee.

And we didn't sell him lower. He went to a higher level academy.

What that transfer did do is piss off the Allams into upgrading our academy, which was probably their lasting success with this club.

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

I thought it was only 2 clubs per season, or does the Irish league finishing mean it doesn’t count as this season?

Did we get a fee, sell on clause, buy back clause? Because Sod’s Law says he becomes a superstar & will be in the PL before us if our history is anything to go by.

Not sure on the first point, but I guess the EFL wouldn't allow the transfer if it was outside the permitted number of games.

It said an undisclosed fee, so they got something for him, but whether there is a sell on clause I don't know, but I would have thought so.

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

I think the length of contract is really positive for the lad

He's got some security, he now knows he'll be a professional to his mid 20s, he can plan a life around.

He's got an opportunity now to build a career for himself.

Over to you now, Will.

Exactly this, he now has a career going forward, up to him now to make the most of it.

 

[DuaneDarby18]

He played on the wing a lot under Rosenior. I'm not sure it's as big a deal as people think.

Times Omur has looked bad in the middle: 1

Times Omur has looked bad on the wing: Lots

Times Omur has looked good in the middle: Lots

Times Omur has looked good on the wing: 0

 

[Paul Jewitt]

Clayton Donaldson?

 

[TIGERSCAVE]

Hughes won't be here long term. He'll be gone in 18 months, he's still error prone but someone will take a punt on him at PL level because of how good he is on the ball.

Rushworth isn't more established though, he's younger and Ivor's played more games at a better level. It's replacing one young player with another.

Hughes , He's 20 FFS.... CB's don't come into their own until they mid 20's... for the club to sell him inside this contract would be mental. Maguire only improved alongside Dawson..? . et al

Would they say no to a 10m+ offer given our financial position?

 

[tigerrev]

Glamogs on the other bench?

"Glamogs" brilliant

I don't think that's accurate at all. Like I said he played there loads last season and no one ever said he wasn't playing well then.

 

[SydneyTiger14]

We've been linked to Gelhardt before haven't we?

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

Matt Crooks, as long as it goes through, looks a really astute signing, just the sort of player we need.

 

[eimaj]

I don't think that's accurate at all. Like I said he played there loads last season and no one ever said he wasn't playing well then.

Even last season he looked busy but never really delivered.

 

[Idi Amin]

If we sign Boly or porteus (or however you spell it)...who is out CB pairing (when Hughes is fit).

I assume they are coming to improve the starting 11.

 

[GLP]

Gelhardt is the striker.

 

[HullCityInEurope]

Not sure Gelhadt is one to score 15+ a season, but decent little player
