Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 1 - 10 June, 16 June - 1 September

I see Wrexham have signed Cacace and Mannsverk, 2 wonderkids from previous FMs

 

Think we’re set at striker now, centre mid and left wing probably the only positions we currently look a little light. Obviously a lot can happen before the window shuts

Never really rated Bamford and from what I’ve heard from mates none of them think he’s any good either

 

A top classer winger is a must for us I think, we desperately need someone with real quality in that position to raise up the standards & competition for starting places across the board in wide forward positions imo.

 

Yeah, whether the club sees Robinson as a real option to play a lot will be a big factor too Edozie/Robinson/BBD/Armstrong/Dibling looks pretty strong as wide options. That’s not including Fraser but if you swapped Dibling for him as Dibling likely leaves still looks a solid group for this level.

As people have said before, if we use the loan market well we probably don’t need to make another permanent signing this window, even if players leave.

 

Hayden Hackney to Ipswich allegedly, be a good signing for them.

At the moment they look like Leicester in our last promotion campaign, would be a huge surprise if they don’t win the league comfortably

 

Agree with all of this...

...but there's also the risk of keeping too many of a squad who got very used to losing last season and a need to freshen things up.

Someone with a bit of stardust and a wand of a left foot at left midfield would be lovely please. And I'd take an experienced PL pro in centre midfield too to help keep standards high and see games out.

 

Yeah scar tissue is a thing, need to get a couple of wins under our belts early so the players remember how **** this league is in the main and get some confidence back

 

Looking through the squad list, there are 10 players that I think should be moved on and then replace with 2-3 new attacking midfielders inc wide men

 

This is setup 4-2-3-1 and that formation makes the most sense based on our strongest midfield and style of wide attackers

four centre backs can likely leave and Still will have to make a decision on a left back

The talk was Downs was bought in as a focal point and not necessarily a goal scorer, which might mean that Still sees the goals mainly from wide attackers like Armstrong.

In terms of incomings, the loan market has to be our best option for a left wing and attacking midfielder to cover the probable exits of Fernandes & Dibling

At least one of Fraser, BBD & Edozie won’t be here by the end of the window.

Not sure about that. I think he has transferred to East Hollywood. Whatever happened to a photo in a football shirt? I know, media departments. Load of fluff and smoke.

 

There's a gaping hole in midfield if/when Downes gets injured. Another CDM should be high up the list, unless one of our CBs can cover. Smallbone isn't a reliable defensive midfielder.

 

Yep. Need another DM more than we needed Downs or Quarshie.

 

A goalie, I am still convinced we need new life in the goalie position, as surely Ramsdale will be off.

This one's too old and was never that good - but I did play in the position

 

I think that QPR occasionally played Edwards there. But I don't know how often, nor how well he did there.

I'd be particularly jealous if Ipswich did indeed sign Hackney to play there for them. But I still get the feeling that the fee Boro will be looking for will be well above Championship standards.
