Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

Disappointing all in all really. I would be looking for loan for Giles and Palmer and trying to get in 3-4 more with their wages.

 

We'd need one to go to free up the wages though wouldn't we?

 

Not sure how we stand ATM on the cap.

 

Prefer Tommy !!

 

But what that the real reason why we didn't sign him? He was at the club, at the stadium and at the training ground, someone fancied he could do a job for us. If it was a 'fans backlash' it would have been a first for the club, but a nice little get out of jail card to play.
Also what is an 'on line backlash'? Half a dozen on here, maybe a few more on twitter, or a handful of **** stirrers posting countless times? The club have never took notice of the fans before and a proper professional club should make their own decisions and stand by them, not hide behind a 'fans backlash' to welch on a deal as happened in this case. Maybe Liam Cooper would have joined a long line of sick notes at the club, as this regime have a history of signing, maybe he could have been an outstanding success too? We will never know.
Back in the day I remember a very young Mick Hartford, centre forward for Lincoln, who knocked us out of the League Cup over two legs, something like 7-1, maybe more on aggregate. Hartford scoring most of them. No social media or on line stuff in those days just old fashioned letters to Sportsmen Say in the HDM, and they poured in, all demanding City put a bid in for Hartford. It was common knowledge that he was up for sale. Also remember fans shouting up at the Directors Box in the home leg for us to sign him. We didn't and he went onto to score some 180 odd goals for various clubs and gain two England caps. We finished up in Division 4.
I just didn't like the way Baz Cooper immediately pointed the finger of blame at the fans when the Liam Cooper deal fell flat in its face seemingly overnight. I thought he could have done a job for us at the time.
Doesn't matter now, obviously.

 

Acun ****ed Cooper about, agreed a deal and everything with him then changed it at the last minute for a much lower wage. Proper bit of market stall haggling.

He was an unnecessary signing anyway.

 

We're restricted to one out one in remember.

 

Oh yeah forgot about that.

 

Could be Baz is a **** journalist working for a **** newspaper which is owned by a **** parent company. Always looking to trigger people into clicks, likes and comments.

 

The reason Cooper didn't sign was we chsnged our minds and only offered him 1 year whereas they offered him 2 years on about 20k a week

 

On announcements
I believe we're still waiting for Getafe to agree on a time of announcement with the City to confirm Abu Kamara's departure. Once that's done, Hadziahmetovic will follow, and then Gyabi. Never easy for the club who are trying to coordinate various announcements with clubs both here and abroad.

 

We're still waiting for the guy who takes the video - until he turns up we can't sign anyone

 

Have been working today so not been able to watch sky sports. Any big moves/signings for rival teams?

 

Palace move for a CB has been hijacked by West Ham. They are now scrambling for a CB…

 

If we play this cleverly. Yes Crystal Palace, the price is £20M but if Liverpool don’t want their deal to collapse also, please send us some star freebies.

 

Wrexham got Sheaf for 6.5 m

 

Pompey are trying to do a deal for Chaplin at Ipswich. Good signing for them.

 

Also the interpreter needs to teach Alphabet to say "Up the ****ing Tigers." Nothing can happen until he can say that.

 

Well we need to get our skates on. Deadline is 7pm jot 11pm. Hope Acun is aware...
