Transfer Rumours Winter 2025 Transfer Thread

It'll give you a pretty good indication about what sort of player they are. The attributes are pretty accurate and based on real stats.

 

Jonjo Shelvey would be a decent shout. Free transfer linked with Burnley though.

 

Frigging 'ell, is he still going? Thought he'd retired and was about to join us old twats on here.

 

Still only 32!

 

Hell fire..I thought he'd retired. Looking at his record since 2023, I bet he thought the same. 46 games 3 goals...He'll fit right in.
Years Team Apps Goals
2008–2010 Charlton Athletic 42 (7)
2010–2013 Liverpool 47 (2)
2011 → Blackpool (loan) 10 (6)
2013–2016 Swansea City 79 (10)
2016–2023 Newcastle United 186 (16)
2023 Nottingham Forest 8 (0)
2023–2024 Çaykur Rizespor 32 (3)
2024–2025 Eyüpspor 6 (0)

If you can pronounce the last 2 give yourself a Brucie bonus.

 

That's a big paper round.

 

Most of the Febernache rumours turn out to be ****e.

 

I don’t rate dessers to be honest, he seems to drift in and out of games and isn’t very mobile.

I think Hagi and Raskin could go to a poor to average team in spain or portugal or even italy. I can’t see them coming to the championship just yet.

 

If the last one is in Yorkshire he wouldn't have far to move.

 

Give him his due, he's had a decent career

 

I'd rather we didn't bother personally, the players we've signed from Turkey have been a real mixed bag and they usually cost us a fortune too. I'd rather we just went with a run of the mill Championship winger, just somebody who knows the league and is used to the physicality/competitiveness of it.

 

It seems we are prioritising that. This just seems to be one of the transfer window occurrences. We haven’t gone a single window without recruiting a player from Turkey I don’t think?

Allahyar Shota Jan
Tetteh, Traore, Sinik, Pelkas
Jan under Rosenior seems to be the only one
Lokilo summer Rosenior
Omur Jan Rosenior
Pedro Summer Walter.

Sinik and Pelkas are the big fails. Omur at least looked somewhat decent last season but isn’t capable of being a big player for us

 

I'd say apart from Lokilo they were all technically good/very good players but the vast majority do take time to adjust to the level and we just don't have that time.

I know he gets his fair share of criticism but I've no issue with running with Longman for the remainder of the season, as long as we can bring in 1 more I think we're fine (the permanent domestic one that's been mentioned)

As we learnt from last Jan, you've got to be careful about doing too much business in January.

 

Dessers has got 34 in 63, he’s a striker, that’s the sort of stats you want in a striker is it not? Too many people worry about how he plays. He would have more imo if it wasn’t for the fact he hasn’t been playing. I just don’t get it ‍♂️

 

Couldn't you say the same about Oscar? He could score goals but we needed way more from his all-round game

 

He wouldn’t get half the opportunities playing for us though as he does for Rangers.

I can’t see him dropping into a championship relegation fight either anyway.

 

Thought the modern game had no need for a Ashbee?

 

Would it actually be 'dropping into the Championship' or moving to a higher level to play in?

 

I think these players like the shop window of Rangers and playing in europe. They got to the europa league final couple years a go - Rangers are still are a massive club that can attract good players.
