Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

****ing hell.

 

I get what you’re saying but even a point on Saturday would be a decent result - imo

I’m not getting carried away after Saturday. Finishing 17th would still be a brilliant season.

 

Add it to the list, Cam

He had chances to rotate for the level last season but didn’t. We’ll have to see what he does this season. I have my view and it’s largely backed up by his behaviour throughout his career. But beyond that, rotating in defence isn’t a particularly good idea anyway - where relationships and familiarity as a unit are key.

 

question,

depending on injuires etc

will we be busy in January?

 

No,we don't. We need to be careful in managing our expectations. For a start,we've now played our hand.....Burnley and Brentford will be all over with analysis of our new players,and how to counter them. I'm trying to look at this one match at a time,and thinking about an away point at Burnley,coupled with our performance. When that's done,I'll think about Brentford,who are at home to Villa on Saturday,and see how they are under their new coach.

edit - would embed the tweet but twitter not allowed on work laptop

 

I like this lad

 

Point being that we shouldn’t want to max it. We’ve got it easier this season due to the performance in previous seasons - not least the massive sales in 24/25. Once they disappear we’ll be left with an amortisation number that we cannot naturally sustain. If we max out this season, we’ll have to balance the books with big sales in future seasons. Our max number for 25/26 is ‘artificially’ high.

32m euro bid rejected for Fatawu

 

100% mate I think we’d all snap your hand off for 17th! Don’t want to get stuck where we’re needing points from better teams because this league is relentless and we could easily go on a 5-6 game loss streak. I’m sure even Ipswich only won 1 in 14 or something at some point last season, not to mention Southampton. Getting those points banked when we can and allow for losses against the better teams would be ideal

 

“Uche from getafe another option”

 

Would be very pleased with Fatawu or Uche. Uche is a proper wildcard player, can play pretty much anywhere and is so big, strong and fairly quick that he dominates everywhere

 

Go on get carried away! You never know you might actually like it

 

Incredibly harsh on Ballard if he has to drop out. Admittedly not everyone will be fit at the same time but it's some defensive squad we are building.

 

Wow I hope we can sign Fatawu like

 

Wears number 6, ours is vacant…

can’t have an attacker wearing that number mind

 

Definitely going to win AFCON this season lol

 

We are going to have a helluva 2nd team for early cup runs

 

He will keep his place unless his form dips i reckon. Main thing is with him lets not forget is keeping fit
