Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

I think Baz has been fairly critical so far this summer, pretty sure the podcast took a bit of stick on twitter for being too negative even before the news of the embargoes came out. He's put out a few opinion pieces criticising the club and saying we can't afford to make the same mistakes as last summer as well.

I get the impression he is fed info from the club on the basis that he isn't the one to report it first. Often when other outlets have broken news, he is then quick to confirm it. I guess he would lose his sources is he did otherwise.

Although like others have said, Humberside have been far more critical of the owner this summer. Even after the embargoes, he seemed to be playing it down, based on what the club were feeding him.

One thing that does irritate me about him is when we are rumoured to be signing a player e.g. 2 million for Burstow, he is quick to say "they are paying far less than that" then later on he will drop into an article that we actually did pay 2 million for Burstow. That example may be incorrect but he's definitely done it in the past.

 

So on a par with Delap and Morton then

 

I think he gets a bad rap.... he's just not effusive. Part of last season is why we are still in this division. The pressure on him with Millar and Belloumi out would have been immense. Then he comes into this season thinking things would be easier for him and bam!@!@!

 

I still can not fathom the reasoning of bringing this kid in and letting burstow out on loan
Its mind boggling it really is

 

Played well for Eng U19's

 

Read Dublins Wikipedia... it smacks of employed at Morrisons ( sorry anyone employed there) .. and I thought this Hodge had some credibility.

 

I don't think he's a bad player but he just lacks belief and confidence,maybe the new coach can dig it out,if not I don't think he's here much longer.?

He’d be a cracking signing. No way we can afford him though.

 

Yes,quite but I wasn't talking about Jude Bellingham.

I was wondering why we're bringing in a 19 year old rookie with no experience anywhere near this level and what his role will be here?

 

Ha! My mate was right

 

I’ll buy him a pint if it comes off.

 

Is he any good?

 

Yep
Maybe kamara is going like Brady said?
Seems strange when the manager was full of praise for Cleveland Brown on the other wing in the friendlies.
Maybe it’s just vanity again
Got Burns from Man City last season
I never did figure out why we did that the kid didn’t make a ripple and he had a year in league 1 behind him

 

What did he say?

 

About a month ago, pre-fee restriction, he told me we were interested in Hadžiahmetović.

 

That's a huge bugbear for me. The fees are always underreported, then if the player isn't a roaring success he goes with the higher fee that had been reported elsewhere.

I'm sure he said Burstow was low 6 figures when that transfer happened.

 

He’s pretty good, in my opinion. Similar to Alzate but more physical. I would prefer him to Lundstram.

 

There was some talk of Kamara to Rangers but that was weeks ago and I've heard nothing since.
