Transfer Rumours Summer 2026 Transfer Thread…

[petersaxton]

I hope we have the expertise to use the Brentford, Bournemouth & Brighton strategy for signing players & not just toss in a bunch of random players that makes us look like an excited kid in a sweet shop.

Change our name to Bull City?

Celtic have a very low wage cap..circa 25k so we would be better placed imo

We'd pay him more than £25k?

Bayern said Kane is staying there next season.

Didnt Bayern say that Kane was staying with them UNLESS Hull City came in for him?

 

[petersaxton]

I keep thinking about Guendouzi from Fenner

We should avoid any players who play in Turkey. We do better with their managers.

Why should we avoid them?

 

[kccircle]

Sunderland pretty much changed their team going up. Leeds amended theirs

I think we only have 4-5 who should be part of the team
Giles
Hughes
McB
Belloumi
Slater and maybe Crooks at a push

Kane said something like that, but one can never be sure.


It's our time.

Not very successful in the past

I've mentioned Dean Windass before. I also thought Wayne Brown was fantastic for us in 2007-2008. Both hardly featured in 2008-2009.
We need to bring in players to replace players in practically every position and then we can see who steps up.

In the promotion season - Wayne Brown looked a class centre half, good positioning, an organiser and looked a level above. The Premier League exposed his lack of pace and he couldn't step up to Prem League level. I remember a home game against Wigan and we got battered 0-5, Heskey had a very good game.

What if kante wants to come?

Well he Kante.

 

[amberman8]

We could if we wanted to

Obviously our experience with Sinik, Pelkas and Omur makes us wary. However, if we are now fishing in the Turkey national team pond then hopefully that'll be different

Sinik and Omur were Turkish internationals, Pelkas a Greek international for many years. Being an international doesn’t necessarily ready a player for the English game.

Belloumi’s physicality worries me, he already gets bullied enough in the championship but maybe he’ll get more protection in the prem

Talsica is a baller by the way if he fancies a go at the Prem.

To be fair
That was the very dark period of turkish international football
Aka
They were absolute ****

And omur looks garbage now even in turkish league

For the second Millwall goal he won the ball with his physicality and I actually think its one of his more underrated attributes, he isnt knocked off the ball easily at all.

 

[Fettis the striker]

seen as Gordon is on the move I’d think Newcastle will be in strong for Bowen

Couldnt get further from the dyers!
Cant see it

Ulker is chucking a few quid in; there's an understanding that the amount of spending needed to build a squad for this league is higher than Acun can manage alone. He'll get some backing.

I know Brady and OLM have both said it, but just to be clear, Bowen has been wanted by Liverpool since last Summer. He opted to stay in the last two transfer windows to help repay West Ham, but Liverpool see him as the successor to Salah. Forget him coming back, I'm 99% sure he'll be a Liverpool player come the end of the transfer window.

You'll absolutely see some Turkish national team players arrive, good ones. You'll also no doubt see us sign players from Croatia and Bosnia. Zambrano and Borys will be coming but will be loaned back to Maribor to start with, I'd have thought.

How can he chuck money in? Through sponsorship?
