Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

He had 18 in 26 before the new coach came in.

 

We missed a trick not having a look at Brewster. He was on a free and now signed for Derby.

 

He barely scores though, we need goals.

 

His barely scoring is better than no scoring. They also have Morris from Luton on a free. Decent additions for no fees.

I feel we’ve put all our eggs in the McBurnie basket and will be left with egg on our face.

 

I’m not sure a goal every 10 games is better tbh.

 

Nervousness with RB is that he's had a number of hammy injuries, and for a quicker player, like Owen 25 years ago, that can be terminal

 

Or `bolton get promoted on the back of his goals and then ask them for 1 million plus...

 

He’s got quality though. In the right team there’s no reason why he couldn’t score goals.

 

I do think a lot of the striker talk is quite unrealistic. If we could sign 2 strikers who you'd be fairly confident would score 7-8 goals next year, that would be a good improvement.

We all want a 15 goal a season striker but the chances of signing one when you can't spend a fee is pretty low

 

Wilks also went for nish as it was known he couldn’t do it in the champ. Magennis yeah was an old fella didn’t think of that…

 

Wilks went up with us then went for nish because he couldn’t perform. We’d have got a decent fee if we didn’t get promoted. We must’ve got a decent enough fee from Wednesday given they’re unable to pay us it

 

Yeah. The biggest thing that drives a fee up is a club that doesn't want to sell. When a team wants rid they're rarely going to get a big fee. Wilks went for very little because we just wanted rid. I suspect it was also known around the game that he's a bit of an idiot who will waste his talent. His issue wasn't the level of football.

 

Just looked out of interest
Hes at some random turkish 2nd div side now lol

 

that’s what I’m saying he didn’t do it in the champ, then did it in league one, then was back to being kack again. Something similar with Mason I reckon but time will tell he definitely has a bit of a sniff at goal, more so then KJ.

 

KJ is just a lot more dynamic, there must be a reason managers prefer him.

 

Mate don't sell yourself short. You have opinions about everything. You even have opinions about having opinions.

 

Any sign of Ronaldo MK 2? I know this is the way football works but why clubs allow themselves to be pushed into this sort of situation with just a week to kick off I'll never know. Stand by for plan B, C and D.

 

Baz says there’s no news on McBurnie. City not given up hope on completing a deal for him in the next 24 hours.

 

Deadline is today. He’s got 95 minutes to sign.

 

I think it’s fair to say he isn’t coming and never had any intention of doing so. He’s used us a marketing tool.
