Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Let's have a whip round and bring him home, got a spare 50p I can hoy in

 

Pleased I'm not the only one on the British signings

I love what we've done, and i get British players often cost a lot more but we need to get the balamce right between British players and talented foreign lads

 

Not ideal but I’d rather they didn’t leave for free either. We can do better than Mepham too.

 

Said the other day Adingra is only 6 months older than Mundle iirc. Be really tough for him to get in the team now when Adingra has so much football under his belt in comparison. Watson obviously a bit different as he was 18 but Mundle is 22 so if we can get a decent fee that offsets the cost of Adingra it makes sense for me. A shame he’s not really had much of a chance to show what he can do but I don’t think we can risk starting him over the others.

 

Haha ok then.
Look forward to seeing Mundle start the game tomorrow then.

 

I personally don't think it's a risk but I also get the business side of things so selling him might actually help us be even better

 

will come in time

we have to stay up first

 

Yeah I agree. More looking at it through the lens of I don't particularly want us to be forced to blow portions of the budget on replacing players we didn't want to let go.

 

On the British thing - if indeed Neil, Cirkin and Mundle go, and Patterson gets replaced, that’s 4 English players. Roberts is also becoming less likely to start and replaced by an international. Only one of them has been “replaced” so far, by Reinildo. We could do with at least two British players coming in.

For instance if we get two foreign centre backs and a foreign keeper, only Hume and Rigg will be in the first team starting candidates from the UK

The club might think that’s acceptable and maybe it is. But we’ll have gone from a very British team to a very multi national one

 

Yep totally, think it would come more next season as the cost is really high

Just feel a few British lads coming in will compliment waht we have

The value is abroad though

 

Better edit that to say Mundle, we will have a meltdown if folk think Mayenda is leaving us

 

yeh just spotted it

 

Despite saying what I just said, I’m not massive on the need for a British core within the squad. What’s more important for me is a shared language (English), they connect with the fans, and they have the right characters who want to be here.

 

Sensitive subject mate. Certain posters have an injunction against them from Miller. They're not allowed to speak his name or stare through his windows any more.

 

Surely there's no sad ba**ard like that on here

 

@Scout73 has just thrown his slipper at the tv

 

Brighton played Liverpool end of last season and there was 4 British players starting between the 2 teams. Agree with @Scout73 i’d like a few British players to come in, especially in the spine of the team but I think in general in the PL there’s not an abundance of talent to choose from really. Man City regularly had 0 British starters in their Xl with Foden dropping out. Thinking of Chelsea’s best Xl they’ve probably only got Palmer and Colwill. United maybe Maguire and Mainoo if he’s lucky? Arsenal Rice and Saka, Lewis-Skelly obviously coming through now.

 

I'm bored waiting for the wife to finish watching her **** program.

Seems we're looking for an older (ish) midfielder with prem experience.

Quick look and they all seem very unrealistic but I wouldn't bet against us getting one of them.

Probably missed some. The **** are **** and the best are probably unattainable, unless we pull a rabbit out the hat.

 

I would support them. But I wouldnt love it. Not sure what that says about me.

 

you might come to love it. We love the old players and the new ones might and probably will get under our skin just the same.
