Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

That was enough to show he wasn't up to it until Rosenior got to work on him and he looked a different player. Rosenior should be praised for what he transformed Ohio into, not castigated.

 

Based on the fact he contributed. Sharp didn't.

 

We didn’t seem to make any real push to get him fit faster. A lot of praise for his mentality to push through and still make a huge impact

 

Ryan Woods’ contract has been mutually terminated.

 

I have always liked Longman, particularly his versatility in playing different positions. I agree he may not be a starter for us, but he's a useful player off the bench and certainly better than Lokilo or probably Sinik (difficult to know with Sinik as we have seen very little of him)

 

We must have paid him off -and he can join Exeter on a free

 

That's as well may be but anything close to a million for him and that's a steal.

 

Id like that hamburg midfielder
I cant remember his name though

Might be slovakian

 

Bénes? He’s joining Union Berlin I think.

 

Ah yea
And seems he has joined them
2 year deal

 

Yeah. €5 million fee. Ludovit Reis apparently has a €5 million release clause.

 

I do agree there was a period needed to get him up to speed fitness-wise and in terms of how we play but I'm also hopeful that we see more from him, Rosie seemed to have our players playing ball to feet the vast majority of the time whereas what Ive watched from Hamburg under Walter they weren't afraid to attack and hit spaces and this should suit someone like Ohio.

 

Ryan Woods is off the books, mutual termination. Good luck to him but this is good news.

 

I didn’t know this. I thought FFP rules were standardised / imposed by uefa

 

Quite possibly but I think there's something to be said for letting a player get their head down and focus on training and tactics and coming on for 10-15 minutes here or there is just a distraction. His form to end the season I think vindicated Rosenior's decision.

 

Shame that Birmingham clearly didn't want him back or we could've fleeced them for some more cash

 

No, don't you remember when we qualified for Europe we got a fine because we breached their rules but not England's? There's different rules/requirements under different legislations.

 

I've not found anything to say the EFL have different rules around loans with obligation to buy, but these things are not easy to look up, so who knows for sure.
