Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

….but think they have ‘missed the point’

 

I wouldn't want him either.

 

I said a while back it’s an opportunity for players to show what they can do and also Burstow, Joseph and some of the younger ones to get a chance and we may unearth a gem, well seems like the new manager has and is very happy with some.

 

Ambitious

 

Dare to dream……..

 

Back the bid!

 

I think kamara will be on his way next, in the airport he never spoke to anyone or socialised with any teammates etc. stood out like a sore thumb apparenrly.
Gaffa wasn’t overly impressed with him yesterday either

 

You want to get rid of Slater?

 

Get Burstow in
Hardly play him - if we do put him on the wing
Sell him to a team who plays him as a striker

 

Is that based on videos or someone you know who was on the trip?

He’s always been a moody bugger though. Dean Marney was apparently the same. The issue is, we’re incredibly light on wingers as it is and can’t buy anyone for a fee. At this rate, we’ll be lining up against Coventry with Brown and Myers on the wings and McCarthy as a number 6. They’ve done well in pre-season but expecting these boys to start in an opening Championship game live on Sky is a huge amount of pressure.

 

As it stands, we’re incredibly light in certain areas of the pitch and the following players under contract have their futures in doubt or can’t play:

Jones
Ömür
Kamara
Alzate
Puerta
Laalaoui

The latter three are concerning because they’re all central midfielders but one will probably go and the other two can’t be registered. It’s a right mess.

 

You are Jimmy Cricket, and I claim my £5.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

One of my mates was on the trip

 

If we do have a thin squad that includes some of the younger squad and Jak manages to make them half competitive he better not get ****ing sacked at the end of the season.

 

Is Omur on the trip?

 

But the big question is, what's the actual aim this season? Because I think it should be survival with a small progression along with substantially reducing the wage bill.

Yet it sounds like the expectation is a lot higher, which changes the approach/strategy etc and not necessarily for the good.

 

Acun is clearly deluded. Everything he’s said this summer so far is akin to a gambler who is drowning in debt but thinks he can win big with the next hand.

He thinks our squad has potential to be worth £100 million. He thinks a top 10 finish at a minimum and a push for the play-offs is a reasonable target for the new head coach. He is not a sane or rational person.

 

Yes please.

 

Getting rid of Slater if we intend to sell Alzate and Puerta and not signing Zambrano is absolute madness.

 

Yes, I would pay for his taxi too.
