Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

I'd have thought any PL loans would could much closer to deadline day at the end of the month. Those clubs will take as long as possible to assess their options and get their before sending players out.

Same probably true for Turkey if it's about having too many overseas players in their squad.

It feels like quite a while since we had this much business done this early.

 

Agreed. The club staff must sign in and out every working day - why not just announce that?

 

But didn't the club say they were hoping for 1 or 2 before this Saturday?

Includes the following from Acun:
Ilicali told Hull Live last week. "We have one more month after the season starts until the transfer window closes and we will check, we will listen to our coach and see what he wants. I must thank Shota for his support in the summer, he's the one who always approves our transfers. We will listen to him and if he wants some more transfers, we will do what he wants.

So, that hopefully puts to bed at least one load of negative BS some have been spouting!

 

I think the signing of this ex Spurs keeper makes good sense. If both Baxter and Ingram are battling it out for the top spot, and if either of them is predominately on the bench this season, I think this is more than likely to be Matt, he may well want out to play first-team football going forward, and rightly so, as there is very little between them, but Baxter IMO has the edge. We will then have a ready-made replacement in this French boy with Cartwright as third choice keeper.

 

I completely understand how they work.

They are nowhere near as secure as you're making out. If he has an amazing season, and Chelsea want to keep him, they will.

The deal only works if the player wants to to come and any number we can pay him, Chelsea can pay him more.

 

You're conflating two different aspects of a loan with an option. If Baxter wants to come, and we want him, he'll be our player. That's the start and end of it.

Of course Chelsea could offer him 300k a week and he have his head turned but that's not what's being discussed and you made out that other clubs could beat us to his signature which is not possible.

 

But we’ve already got two similar aged goalies for the future. This seems a step further on than the ‘Brentford model’, in that we are purely trading footballers? Not judging that, just interested.

 

My thinking too John, not sure why the suggestion we might sell Ingram was met with such a strong reaction last night as it seems quite a logical step.

 

As per usual, you're wrong.

The only bit done is that a fee has been agreed and probably terms in principle. Chelsea could accept another 6 offers and he's free to speak to everyone and decide where he wants to go.

It's completely up to Baxter where he ends up next. The only way it wouldn't be is if there was an obligation to buy.

 

Nobody new before Preston then?

 

So you're suggesting we've agreed terms in principle but that he'd go elsewhere?

Can you provide an example of this ever happening where a club had an option to buy, triggered it, and then didn't sign the player?

Of course it's up to Baxter ffs. As I've said repeatedly "IF THE HE WANTS TO COME". I don't know how many more ways I have to emphasise that.

 

He’s nowhere near good enough to be Chelsea’s number 1
No idea how long his contract is with Chelsea but he’s going to come to a cross roads sooner or later and he needs to decide if he wants a permanent move and be a number one keeper at a club who wants him.

 

Do you know the names, but not able to share?

 

I think we will see an improvement in players already at the club as they get more experience and better coaching, also playing with better players. Docherty and ingram among others could well surprise a few. I thought ingram was excellent on saturday.

 

Just out of interest, in the short time I have been posting on here, you seem absolutely intent on disagreeing with everyone, causing trouble, bickering and just generally being a bit of a douche. Why do you feel the need to act like that?

 

Which is why, again, I've repeatedly said, if he wants to come here and we want to keep him, it will happen as Chelsea cannot turn around and ask for a larger fee.

If they want to keep him and he wants to stay there of course he won't come and I've never claimed otherwise.

 

You say, quoting me, not the person who engaged with me by saying "You're wrong as usual"?

I engage in conversations, I don't insult posters. Calling me a douche is a charming way to start a conversation. Why do you feel the need to act like that?
