Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

[NewcastleTiger]

I think he is a prime example why you have to give young players time to develop. He was ****e at Preston according to PME fans, but a season later we could see what a talent he was. Not all flourish, but like Pueta and Kamara you can see shoots of a player in there.

The benefit for us is we have more continuation. They will only get better, and we won’t lose them after a single season

 

[Amin Arrears]

I said this. Delap’s potential is elite, it was clear to see for me. Ball striking, carrying, link up play, pace, power. He has it all

And yet there were some on here saying he wasn’t worth £10m. It’s crazy how we all see things so differently.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

And a **** ****ing attitude

****s himself when defending as well. You wouldn’t back him going into a 50-50.

I’m thinking more Alan Hansen

Hopefully not like our signing of Philogene on a 4 year contract.

Still not sure what to think of Puerta, clearly has a lot of talent but £3.5m is a lot for us. I'd like to see him playing under a different manager who doesn't completely bypass the midfield

We should have tried our hardest to buy him last January instead of doing loads of deals that ended up costing us this season.

Unfortunately man city had no interest is selling last Jan

Puerta needs expansive and mobile players around him , ours are usually static

Did something change or did Ipswich force their hand with the fee?

Not sure, I'm guessing they felt they could get better deal in the summer. I'm not sure the player would have signed in Jan either.

 

[springtiger]

Bedia should have played needed his height

 

[PLT]

Left foot, right foot.

 

[TinpotTiger]

I feel like as Bedia is tall he gets type cast as being good in the air. Pedro's scored a header this season, Bedia hasn't. He should've swapped them sooner, but Pedro starting made sense

I don’t think we should sign Zambrano or Puerta permanently. We’re in no position to be spending that sort of money on a midfielder who may be unavailable for over a year and another one who, whilst looks a tidy player, hasn’t had a major impact.

 

[Christophalophados]

To be honest if there was no pathway for him to get a chance in the first team Man City might as well just **** their whole academy system off because it’s pointless.

Nah, prints money for them. They'll have decent clauses sewn into anyone that moves on permanently

Zambrano we should.

Puerta? What does he bring to the table?

 

[HCAFCHangout]

I see that a player we tried to sign years ago, Andre Gray, was picked up on a free by Plymouth in October, scored 2 goals last night for Watford.
I’ve just checked & he’s on a short term contract until January, I’d assume they’ll pick him up for longer than as he’s already scored 3 in 6 games.
Unfortunately he hasn’t playied in Turkey, so I guess that’s why we never knew about him being available.

In fairness we couldn’t have picked him up. We’ve got no squad registration spots available

Because we’ve been picking up waste of space keepers & midfielders.
