Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

I think Cirkin will likely go, the two LBs we have are better imo, no new deal yet and we have Hume, Alderete, Mukiele who can all cover there during AFCON. Just makes sense

Phil Smith said that Alese expects to leave due to the competition and needing game time

Neil will stay I reckon

Roberts I’m not sure

Huggins and Seelt likely loaned out if we sign a CB for the latter

 

Both Huggins and Seelt need to be loaned out and play week in week out can't be having them on the bench with how long both been out injured

 

Agree

 

I think Cirkin may go. I would be sorry to lose him, but we need to try to cash in, if he isn't going to extend his contract. He joined us to get game time, so I can't see him wanting to run down his contract, if his game time would be limited. I think he'll either sign up and fight for his place or move on.

Also, will Patterson be happy to be behind Roefs in the pecking order? There might be some movement there this week. I certainly expect a goalkeeper to move on, whether that's Patto, Moore or Blondy. If Patto goes, I'd go for Johannsen at Stoke. Good way to generate some income without sacrificing quality.

 

I think it's most likely that Blondy or Moore goes first. Not sure why I think it other than Patterson was first choice for the last three and a bit seasons since regaining it from Hoffman and I think he might still fancy himself to regain the number one jersey. A lot though will depend on how he works with the new goalkeeping coach, if he doesn't improve enough to challenge I can see him moving on for regular game time in January. Moore was always brought in as cover and Blondy as cover and development. Both were/are a long way from being in the first team now and be more likely for a move for more regular chances. Just my opinion though, so I could be wrong.

 

INCREDIBLE what's happening with Getafe in Spain:

They had to sell their best center-back to Sunderland (Alderete) to be able to register players.

For the debut, they could only register 13 professional players, the rest were youth academy players.

They won 0-2 at Celta de Vigo's home.
