Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

I thought Giles was looking good so far

 

I fully realise anyone can edit a Wikipedia page but on there, Laalaoui has been compared to Bellingham.

I get that we broke the rules but EFL do seem to be particularly ****ish about this. The player has done nothing wrong.

 

Lynda Bellingham?

 

Ahhhhhh bisto

 

The fee restriction is the only punishment. At the moment.

Working to an agreed business plan is simply ongoing support to ensure commitments are met and no further punishment is required going forward.

 

Ad hominem attacks on a fellow poster is the last refuge of the scoundrel dear boy and no substitute for reasoned debate. You were arguing to keep Kamara despite the evidence of us being well stocked in that position and us needing the cash and him off the wage bill. Dancing on the head of a pin and name calling makes you look foolish. IMHO.

 

Given our unfortunate situation, if we have to sell someone to be able to bring someone in, of our saleable assets Kamara is the only one who would make sense. Hughes is an absolute no go, there's a future 15-20m sale there and on field captain for the next 2 seasons, Pandur is out and out first choice and player of the season. Nothing against Kamara's ability or attitude, but purely reflecting that winger is an area where we have cover and when everyone is fit, he'd prob not be first choice behind Belloumi. We do need another CM, it's an area we're short in at the moment so I think sadly this'll be a case of needs must :-(

 

think this sums it up

selling pandur when we cant buy a new gk would be disastrous, likewise with hughes who is night and day our main and best cb
unless belloumi looks incredible on his comeback and we sell him by september

 

You're taking him too seriously.

 

Not much more than a week to get any deals done - been here before - but I trust this lot more based on recent months .

 

The good thing is we have got our business done earlier this year. We're not scrambling for a whole attack with the season underway like we have been in recent years. We need a midfielder and we'd ideally get two or three others if we could but only the midfielder is really important.

 

We might need a centre half soon.

 

We sold two that weren't injured 95+% of the time...

 

well done acun
