Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

Anyone clinging to the notion that Giles wasn't an obligation still?

 

You rate Tufan at 6-8 million?

 

Swift on a free only one that comes to mind.

 

I'm really not sure why certain people get so worked up about it, just so they can prove to strangers on the internet they were right

 

Ömür was part of the deal though......

 

Fenwick's dossiers live on.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

It's the fact a couple got personal about it that baffled me.

 

he’s also a league one player and not clocked two seasons of double figure assists. He’d be worth a punt if Giles went but Giles under Walter to a big striker is a mouth watering prospect to me after the at times dismal “tiger taka” of last year (will see myself out…)

 

both clubs reported an option so yeah

 

I can't understand why people are putting so much value in that. Why would City ever admit to being obligated to buy a player? What kind of message would that send?

 

We can’t say he’s just a league one player and also be demanding £25m plus for Greaves

 

Selling Giles to one of our rivals for less than we paid one week ago would be the most ridiculous bit of business I've ever seen.

 

In today’s market I’d say so. A proven championship goal scorer and match winner across 2 seasons. They don’t come cheap.

FAT’s are a bit of a different beast though. Like Ben Breteton leaving Blackburn.

 

Tufan is worth whatever a team is willing to pay for him, like any other player. We can value our players at whatever we want but it doesn’t mean that’s what we will get because there are more factors than just the selling club’s valuation. If he wasn’t pushing for that move and it was some random EFL club like Boro or WBA, we wouldn’t have accepted £2m.

He wanted to go home after Trabzon made that offer, we weren’t going to stand in his way and the money we got was decent fare. Abdush’s deal also played a part; I think he’s far more talented than Ozan and has the potential to make us a big windfall down the line. It might also be that we are buying somebody else from them and that was factored in.

 

Chose in past tense

 

Has pizzaman just copied fake quotes off a 12 year old on twitter? Surely that isn’t real.

 

That’s a fair point PLT, I do like to grasp at straws though gives me hope…

 

Well we can, it’s like Spurs signing Guehi instead of Greaves or someone of that ilk, track record of performing in the division vs a bit more of a gamble.
