Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

You had me until that last word… ****ing bev !!

 

I remember a 17 year old Roger DeVries having him (and Willie Morgan) in his pocket.

 

Giles was first reported as an option now it’s an obligation. I would put money journalists clearly not knowing the difference between the two so covering both sides.

 

Watched the press conference with Acun and Tim earlier and from a comment Acun made (can’t remember his exact quote) it wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t sign anyone until after the 1st July to comply with FFP. Our financial year end is 30th June so would make sense…

 

Roger had a brother Pete I think they were twins, and when I was at Wolfreton, they both played for the school team, and I thought Pete was the better player of the two, but City picked up Roger and the rest is history. John who was in my year, the older brother had the car dealership down Calvert Lane.

 

Didn’t we get Pandur cheap because Acun wrote off a debt the club owed him?

 

I remember that car dealership, a blast from the past

 

Didn't Peter wear glasses and was as blind as a bat without them?
(Contact lenses not as developed as now?)

 

£4mill for a fullback who wasn’t even in the last season’s starting eleven? Nuts.

 

Id rather live on Spring Bankland

 

Hope Giles comes regarded as one of the best attacking fullbacks in the league which Walter wants. Clearly a top operator and madness he wasn’t utilised properly.

 

Love Giles. Great attacking player

Would I be spending £4m right now when we have 3 left backs on the books and no strikers among other glaring holes in the squad? No

If we get Jaden and Greaves money to spend on the overall squad I would do it then. But only then

 

Leicester is like a giant Spring Bankland.

 

Not sure, you could be right.

 

Possibly but given the low prices they’ve apparently set for their best players, it could just be because they have a tiny budget so can’t demand huge fees like a Championship club would for players of similar qualities.

 

He'd taken up the position of PE Teacher by the time I was at Wolfreton, but I think you may be right about his eyesight.....although I think he wore contact lenses (he was too vain to wear glasses).

 

Beverley is to Hull, as Beverly Hills is to LA.

 

I think I got a free ticket off him for my first City game

 

I remember him doing coaching at Wolfreton. Not sure about him teaching though. I do remember the PE teacher getting sacked (allegedly) for shagging (allegedly) the girls PE teacher. Happy days

 

HDM reporting that due to FFP, we are only signing loans this season. Something isn't adding up then, because how are we in talks to sign Liam Delap permanently if we can't spend big?

I suppose it's a relative term and he perhaps meant he can't go out and splurge £40m on new talent, but I'd be very surprised if we just signed loan players this season. If we did, I'd expect them to be Boyd style loans where we sign them at the end of the season.
