Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

[HCAFCHangout]

Happened to go to Bishop Burton College today.
The facitlies have developed no end since I was last there several years ago.
On a day like this, it looked like a fantastic place for lads to train to be a footballer! In fact, made me wonder if it would be a better venue for the 1st team to move to as well! Looks like there's plenty of land to add to the existing facilities.

The whole article implies it. Saying we can't flex our financial muscle even with the incoming money and then suggesting a transfer target that is free in Chris Willock. Yes it doesn't explicitly say free transfers or loans but to imply we will be nickel and diming our way after a big fee incoming does raise some eyebrows

I'm sure it is partly to stop clubs thinking we have a bottomless pit all of a sudden but also to temper the expectations of fans that might all of a sudden expect us to sign multiple players worth 5m+. It's unclear what the outlook for us is next year/ the year after in terms of generating future sales to fund more spending so it would be reckless to spend all this money in one go. I'm sure there will be some good players coming for decent fees but if we can be a bit more shrewd with free agents etc I'm all for it.

I do enjoy a good glass of copium, and you're right about getting loans and free transfers; some of our best signings historically have been on a free - Geo, Koren, Barmby, Dawson, Campbell (second coming), Smallwood, Seri... if they've only just been released from their club that Summer, it's not the same level of risk as signing a free agent in November or March.

It's about finding quality for value, there are quite a few players that would be very good Championship quality players but aren't needed by their clubs - Oztunali is one of them, Shola Shoretire that's just left Man U is another. I had done a post about free agents that are available, but I've got an updated version now that the PL have announced who they are letting go. I'll pop it up in a bit.

Baz now saying that despite getting £35 million+ for Greaves and Philogene, the club is not likely to spend much money this summer and rely on free transfers and loans instead.

So there goes that theory that we had to wait until Greaves and Philogene had been sold before we could reinvest it.

Its going to end in tears.

It’s a market we’ve not utilised enough under Acun, now we are in a position where we are using it more and then spending on the right players who are different makers

 

[Tony Angelino]

Acun is frustrated with ffp as he wants to spend more, now we just arent bothering ?
As sw3 said, it’s a little confusing

 

[DuaneDarby18]

Not going to lie, I’m on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait to see who’s coming in and I think it’s sensible to not spend too big on individual players also. At this level, fees of around £1m - £5m seem about right for quality. There are exceptions of course.

Can we have some more clues from the ITK’s please?

1904 club name dropped Willock, Rak-Sakyi & McConnell as targets.
Said the striker target is a good one, that people would be happy with. Described as a 'decent outlet, experienced, scores goals, very good record'

Gut feeling is McBurnie and Drameh as the two singings

Does McBurnie fit Walter’s style

Can’t say I’ve seen much of Walter’s style. Suppose McBurnie isn’t a million miles away from Glatzel

Don't think anyone is a million miles from Glatzel .

I thought someone one on here had said he’d gone to Stoke the other day?

James Bree?

35 goals in his last 3 championship seasons. We could do a lot worse

*actually I’ve just listened to the 1904 podcast, he says they will invest this money (27:50)
