Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

Regarding squad numbers and 20 being left blank, interestingly on the club website the numbers have updated (Belloumi to 10, Kamara to 17 etc.), and Puerta has 20.

I wonder if that bodes well for being able to register him?

I'm adamant he'd fit perfectly into this midfield alongside Lundstram.

 

I think his question was could boro sign him permanently and the answer is yes.

 

I guess if he has a good season here and say gets 10+ goals, Leeds might think he is worth another go in their team as its 99% certain they will be back in the Championship. Would like to think we have some sort of option for next summer.

 

I would prefer an obligation.

 

I’d say we sign him on a permanent in either January or next summer depending on the outcome of the efl thingy. He has gone on record of how much he loves it at the mighty tigers so I cannot see him wanting to leave for Middlesbrough but you never know…..

 

Nixon has some story about McBurnie turning down big money offers, so maybe we didn’t pay “over the odds” after all, with the proviso this is Nixon so it may well be bollocks (I am not paying for his ****ty Patreon to find out).

 

my striker

 

New deal for Pandur too apparently to see off interest

 

He's wrong all the time but seems to have been reasonably on the money in terms of McBurnie signing, having his medical etc.

Could be one of the few he's close to?

 

He’s been pretty reliable for us on the whole. First to mention Charlie Hughes, McBurnie mentioned at the end of May!

 

Hopefully he's wrong about Pandur...

 

If Williams comes in as expected does anybody else feel kind of sorry for Giles?
He had a great game yesterday and got lots of MOM votes, looks like he's tried really hard to turn his City career around.
I know competition for places in the starting 11 is a good thing and might keep him on his toes. It's all just a thought

 

Think Serj mentioned Willliams can play either side, as long as Giles and Drameh continue with their form the shirt is theres to lose.

 

no.

 

It's great to have a versatile fullback cover. The one that's fallen down the pecking order is Coyle. Hughes might end up being captain in the majority of games this season.

A thought on Williams. Given that in an alternative universe, he's getting into a Premier League team as first choice, I wonder if there's another role for him in the Championship, say defensive midfield?

 

I think it’s healthy, but maybe the Jak2 has seen an opportunity to play him as a defensive midfielder? Don’t shoot me down, I’m just thinking out the box.

 

Quite literally what I was just thinking too!

 

Famine to feast in full back positions.
That said, if we're serious about building a squad capable of challenging for promotion then this is exactly the quality of depth we need.

 

It's a mile away from last season for sure, playing a centre back at left back and a right back as cover

 

I dont feel sorry got Giiiiiilo after the way he has conducted himself (towards my club).

He will need to earn some sympathy by putting in a shift for the shirt.

Both Giiiiiilo and Willo are professional footballers and get paid stupid money. They will have to get on with it.
