Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

It looks as though Reinildo and Talbi are done. If....a big if....we can get Mika/Albine and Petrovic in with a minimum of delay, then focus will shift pretty quickly to a quality centre back. Aside from a possible Lauriente....which I'm not sure about.....I would think we'd be more or less where we wanted to be. Don't see another 8 or so coming in.

 

Aye, sorry, I meant he had no knowledge/understanding of what Le Fee is as a player.

 

More scrappy then scooby then

 

Another 8-9 transfers still excites me as much as it did the first time haha

 

We're much more likely to have 8 or 9 going out than coming in.

 

We very easily will have 8 coming in

 

What....first team squad...from now,if we assume Reinildo and Talbi are already in?

 

Really want to see ELF play deeper this season. I don’t think he worked particularly well as a 10 for us thus far.

 

Gk
2 CBs
LB (Reinaldo)
DM (can’t have 5 midfielders when 2 are off to AFCON)
LW
RW
ST

there’s 8

Flexible forward or another RB to add to that

 

GK
RB
CB x2
CM
Forward X3 (strikers and wingers / versatile forwards)

bot including if we over stock squad players or see a deal that’s worth pursuing etc

 

Current first team squad of 36 assuming the two imminent ones are done. Will need to shift 20 players to get down to a sensible squad size if the 8-9 more is actually true.

Edit: it’s tougher than you think to identify those 20 departures.

 

Problem solved he plays on the right.

 

yeh the sheer volume of outgoings needed, either loan or permanent, is insane. Feels overwhelmingly large to me and I'm not even the one who has to do it. I'm amazed we've only had one outgoing so far.

 

Well,I'll bow to your greater knowledge marra......but that indicates an almost total squad change....which I was not expecting. Time will tell.

 

A bit of playing chicken with prospective buyers maybe. How much do other clubs want our players v how badly do we want to shift them?

Good to see Aouchiche get a decent move as the first of those.

 

The club is working hard to make sure we have a squad that can compete, which means we need quality players, and the ones from last season can compete for their place, imo, The depth behind those players from last season was poor.

Roberts - Poveda (awful)
Mundle - Watson (gone)
Neil - Samed (gone)
Enzo - Browne (alright but not PL standard)
Rigg - Aleksic (Not pl standard)
Wilson - Mayenda (Good)
Hume - Huggins (Injured)
O9 - Mepham (Gone)
Ballard - Seelt (Injured)
Cirkin - Alese (Injured)
Patterson - Moore (Not good enough)

 

Talibi is one of the wing options tbf.

 

If it's true that we're haggling over wages, I wonder if we perhaps leaked the Perri link yesterday to give Petrovic the 'hurry up' and now his agent has retaliated this morning to give us a nudge

 

Both possibilities

 

We were already a bit light in the wider squad I think. It wouldn't be surprising if we bulk that side out over the summer after getting the first teamers sorted out.
