Transfer Rumours Summer 2021

I personally think that would be a mistake if we've got any intention of competing at the top of this division.

 

Think you're right nin. Theres wage reduction ongoing.

 

Let's not forget that our third choice keeper, Day, has left. I doubt the new guy is earning more.

Must mean there are doubts about the lad who was on loan at Barry (can't remember his name) being good enough.

I can see one of our cb's leaving plus one of the fab 4 if either the guy from Crewe or Evans from Blackburn arrives.

 

There can’t be any such intent if our manager is satisfied with his sterile and passive central midfield options we suffered watching last season.

 

Agreed. All the signs (so far) would suggest we're going to go from back to front quickly again.

Our current midfield such as it is would be bypassed when going forward, and only on the pitch to stop the ball coming the other way.

 

Is that all he's worth? Sad indictment on decisions made at the club if so ................

Another in a long line of poorly thought out (or even desperation) striker purchases. Seems a nice guy and doesn't lack effort but clearly not equipped for the rough and tumble Championship game.

I guess it's a case of get what we can and move him on.

 

Sadly that's the one position that Warnock could never seem to get right when it came to signings.

In fairness, we've not really done that well in that department for a while (probably not since Dave Jones).

Zahore proved to be a bit of a flash in the pan despite going for a decent fee.
Frazier Campbell was OK.
Moore has been head and shoulders (lofty ones at that) our best striker signing since the likes of Chopra, Bothroyd and McCormack.

The list of failures is horridly long

 

Wintle in - another freebee......................

Good deal for Glatzel if true of course.

Wintle the transfer is free but he will get a decent signing on fee.

Again if true of course.

 

The same article says we are still after Ryan Giles from Wolves.

As for Wintle being free. He turned down a new contract offer from Crewe, his old contract having run down. Looks like he was well thought of there but wants to step up a level.

 

Glatzel confirmed gone....................

Glatzel and Madine, that's £12M down the pan - when will we ever learn.

We were lucky to get our money back from Fulham for Bobby Reid, but probably the best part of another £10M down the swanee on Murphy.

All these players were signed by Warnock. For all the charisma and hype about him, what a financial black hole he's left behind.

 

Glatzel flattered to deceive. But at the end of the day it was an expensive failure.

 

“Determined”- these signings do not inspire

 

Well he's in now....................

Another defensive midfielder but at least he’s young so can’t be as slow as Pack

 

He describes himself as up and back and all action so not totally defensive. Sounds like someone who could endear himself to City fans.

Fingers crossed.

 

Good to see us getting business done early.

I think there will be more coming in and a few out.

 

Fixtures out tomorrow - time for OS to start up some new threads for the new season.
