Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

[Mckechnie Orange]

Do you not remember your GCSE English Language? A sentence of 3 is more persuasive. Three clubs makes the story more interesting than two clubs.

Yeah, that's what I was driving at. Take it with a pinch of salt.

And when the replacement can't sign because his club won't let him go because they haven't got a replacement, etc, etc? Come on, it isn't a house-buying chain where it all happens at the same time.

All hypothetical, and it may be that the club believes it has a ready replacement already at the club. I don't always believe what I see in The Press.

 

[Ric Glasgow]

Millar would be a decent buy but now it's been carelessly tossed around on Twitter, other clubs will now have heard of him.

There's always the possibility that his agent might want to toss him around(not in the biblical sense and not engaging in dwarfism) to any platform available...

 

[cheshireles]

We sold Allsop and Tufan before we made good on the Giles obligation. The Philo and Ingram deals went through the same day.

It's not just about income, it's also about offloading the contractural wage liability.

We need to shift out to create our own budget.

Ingram was always going to go and the club must be confident there are enough targets of a better fit out there.

You speak as if we are top of the food chain, but very few clubs have the luxury of risking players coming in then not being able to offload the guy they've been brought to replace.

That's exactly what left us with a bloated squad full of expensive deadwood prior to this summer.

Obviously youngsters from prem clubs aren't significant enough investments to have a huge impact on those clubs in the same way, so they can often afford to bring in a first choice and let the cover go out after.

This summer we don't have that luxury.

Judge the keeper situation at the end of the window. I'm sure we'll have someone. Just like most of the other positions the club acknowledge they have to fill and are actively working on. That's when to judge the business, not half way through a restructure.

All sound arguments.

 

[cheshireles]

How many are genuinely expecting a promotion push this season... ?.. im with you, lets get the right people in, add to them ion January and next close season now that much of the dead wood has been shed.

I'm hoping for a promotion push based on the odds I got at The Bookies!

Think we can offer more minutes, but probably the least appealing of the 3

Which Friday?

The club want another senior keeper in, it just isn't a priority at the moment now that Cartwright and Lo-Tutala have both broken through professionally last season and Owen Foster is doing well.

 

[HulltoHellandback]

Yep, just got to meet Canada's asking price.

He'll still need Toronto come to us other the others though

Toronto or Tonto?

Maybe Tim will pick up the phone, Calgary and ask him to push the deal through quicker?

let's hope this one doesn't go Erie-ly quiet.

I've not seen Pandur and seriously hope you are right. Up top we have Oscar who I personally rate if we play to his strengths, but good strikers cost a decent amount of wedge. I'd like to think we could get Jay Stansfield here from Fulham for starters.

Bloody puns again. I canuck believe it

You missed the thing about the probationary licence and ffp limit did you?

We've clearly had to sell before we can buy otherwise the EFL wouldn't sign it off.

I have. Is this a new rule? I’ve never heard of it before. I just thought we had to stay within the £30odd mill debt? How long is Acun under probation? Again, it’s hardly a level playing field.

 

[askewshair]

I'd be happy with that, think Preston fans rated him highly. Remember him standing out when I watched Canada vs Argentina recently but can't recall if that was for good or bad reasons

Will he have had no break for two years? He could be running on empty?

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

New owners have a 3 year probationary license period where they are under enhanced scrutiny and the E F L have to ratify any business to ensure there's no way we can breech FFP.

Basically if we're close to the limit then we have to create the headroom to do anything before they sign it off.

Three years I think.

Just had 2 weeks off ,and was injured most of the time in France.

To be fair he was only used as super sub in Brazil, so should have enough in the tank.

Honestly would love to see Cartwright given some more time in preseason. Has he been injured since Turkey?

Grimsby fans loved him

It’s odd this hasn’t been mentioned prior to this window. I recall Acun saying last season that he kept in close touch with EFL about FFP on every signing, but sold it as him showing real vigilance rather than the EFL imposing it on them.
