Transfer Rumours Summer 2024

This however would be incredible business. Not only is he brilliant but for free that would be huge.

 

Orel Mangala of Nottingham Forest might be worth a look at.

 

He’d need to at least half his wage demands. But if he hates it in Saudi he might

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes to one of the other promoted sides. I wonder if he is an alternative to O’Riley. If we get both then that will mean Alcaraz is surely off. I kind of expect that anyway as I think that’s how we fund a deal for O’Riley

 

Have you watched much of him? Only ask because a Cov fan I know doesn’t think he’s that good and when I asked about him with our interest he was surprised a PL team would be looking at him

 

Is there definitely not any bitterness there because he has left on a free ?

 

Maybe, I did ask after he announced he was leaving I think. Said he’d have him as like their 4th or 5th best player

 

Brighton have signed Yakuba Minteh from Newcastle for £30m, with that and Elliott Anderson deals that will probably sort Newcastle out for PSR

 

I wonder if the Wood signing is because the Peterborough chairman is too difficult to deal with over Edwards

 

Again - not clue how Brighton benefit from this massive overpayment if they are not also selling someone to Newcastle. Doesn’t seem like a Tony Bloom approach

 

Ultimately if we think Edwards is the real deal then we shouldn’t be pissing around when the fee is £10m. It’s not mega money for us so just get it done. If we are ****ing around for the sake of a few million then we either don’t rate him that highly or are shooting our selves in the foot

 

Im not saying Brighton are benefiting, just said that Newcastle are now sorted. I doubt Brighton have any PSR concerns with their player sales over the last 2 years. They probably just like the player. Could turn out to be another great move by them if he is good and Newcastle never gave him a chance

 

I doubt it, chances are we're after both.

 

I didn’t say you were saying that. I am expressing my own bafflement as to why a club would massively overspend to help out another premier league club. Especially one with the wealth of a nation behind them

 

That would be interesting. And good. Would the plan be for 5 CBs for the season then? Or is Bednarek off because of final year of contract ? 5 seems too many to keep happy even with a back 3. Especially with the captain being forced into the side even when he shouldn’t be there

 

Is that the rumoured fee? I just got the vibe from the Peterborough guy that he was the sort of guy to look at that and say “Ok - make it 15-20m”

 

He's got 1 year left on his contract. He's not getting 15-20mill.

 

So what makes Edwards a better prospect than Wood?, both play for England at Youth level. I'll pass judgement on them after i've seen them play in a Saints shirt.

 

Why do you think they are overspending? I know nothing about the player personally
