Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

I'd wet myself if a ridiculously low bid came in for Coyle and we accepted it...Who would blame him if he did one?

 

He played 28 games for us last season and 28 games for Brum the season before.

Again, you’re talking out of your arse.

 

If we were to loan him, I'd rather he get guaranteed games than be in and out of the side. He struggled for gametime the last 2 years.

How many minutes? And why did Birmingham drop him then?

 

Why the **** would we loan him out when he’s our only fit right-back?

He outperformed Coyle last season in most metrics anyway. Better defensively, better dribbler in possession and better passing.

 

Christie lost his place when he needed surgery on his knee. Then he wasn’t the same player anymore

 

He played 120 minutes of Luton’s play off final win.

After joining in jan he played 16/16 games available for

 

Year one Christie was serious wish he stayed at that level.

 

Christie was light years ahead of Coyle. His drop off post surgery was ridiculous, such a shame.

 

Right so now you're talking bollocks. He only made 5 starts at RB last season, 3 of which were in games where Lewie wasn't available.

Of the 2 games he started where Lewie was available and Cody was chosen ahead of him, one was right after the 3 0 away victory at Sheffield United but he was hauled off after 56 minutes for Lewie in the home defeat to Stoke.

We had 3 managers last season, yet it was only 2 occasions out of 46 were Cody was picked ahead of Lewie, and one of those he was hauled off before an hour. And Coyle isn't very good either, according to many on here...

Given our financial position, I would definitely take £750k for a player who I don't think will play very often this year. Unless he can make the left back position his own as I think that's where he'll have the most opportunity for minutes (just like last year).

Maybe if we switch to a back 3 he'll get back to his previous levels. But it's a bit like Giles, there's a lot of hoping, but we've not really seen any signs of it likely to come good. Cody looked good in pre-season games against the Turkish sides, but McCarthy looked like a reincarnation of Busquets so it's difficult to know how much to take from those games.

 

Err can we leave Gilesey out of this

 

Drameh’s last proper appearance for us was the 3-0 drubbing of the blades in his actual position. Then he was cast away to nothing again. Handled horribly due to how we handled the left back situation

 

£750K

You’re as ****ing deluded as Acun.

 

Absolutely spot on. Drameh was one of those who got dropped the second he had a below 8/10 game.

Coyle however dropped stinker after stinker for ages and never got dropped due to being captain I suspect.

He played in the 3 nil mauling of the blades and a couple of other wins away from home, then was ridiculously dropped.

 

I seem to remember him getting dropped cos he was ****ing abysmal

 

Can we stop trying to get rid of our only fit right back please.

 

Drameh suffers from generally playing alright but dropping a huge clanger once a game.

 

Why does it matter? The lad hasn't performed for us and is on a big wedge. We have got him off the wage bill, that's the important thing.

 

For me, overall he (Drameh) has been poor since he came. He has had a few games where he was exceptional, but is generally prone to errors. Honestly, I aren’t sure I’ve noticed a City player (non attacker, who you expect to be less consistent) reach such extremes.
Coyle is generally a 7.5 /10 most games. There was a period early last season where he was repeatedly in the Championship team of the week. I suspect that may have been under Walt, which makes it even more remarkable.
