Summer '24 transfer window

[Coastal Dolphins]

Chelsea will either get relegated due to financial irregularities or go bust. What's going on down there isn't normal

Either would do me - the club I dislike more than any other, since the milk cup semi final in 1985.

 

[Pure River Slut]

We need two more forwards and a versatile full back imo.

If Alese is injured again I’d agree about the fullback. Didn’t think this two days ago.

 

[Carl and the Passions]

think we will see 4-5 in
Simic, Cannon, Aleksic and Samed plus a PL loan

I reckon 3. The two midfielders and one of the CFs

Absolutely no cover at RB

Weird how often they’ve featured in our great and most memorable results though. 85 semi was my first ever Roker trip. Only ever Midlands based away games prior to that being a Cov kid. ( sort of).

Both fullback positions are very sparse.

Agree....Simic.

 

[TopCat.]

Absolutely no cover at RB

Am sure there were some quotes recently from RLB saying he had no plans for another RB and that he can change formation in the unlikely event Hume gets injured.
If Alese IS injured, then maybe the thinking has changed there (or maybe Johnson won't go out on loan)

Hume-O'Nien'Ballard-Cirkin
Johnson-Triantis-Hjelde-Alese

First defence looks good, second one doesn't

 

[TopCat.]

Both fullback positions are very sparse.

We have the option of a loan or two - I don't mind them when they are covering positions.

 

[TonyG]

I know many feel he’s gone the wrong way about it but, if the report is correct, I do really feel massively for the lad. He was clearly hugely invested in coming here and has been poorly advised and seemingly misled by someone (I’m hoping not us included in that).

It’s now pretty humiliating for the lad to have to return having had such a ceremonious farewell at the end of the season and missing out on a move he was so passionate about making.

Imagine it was like this

I think every fan would combust if this came off

Perhaps a little demanding but for me only if the 'Prem loan' was fullback cover and if we managed a lot of outgoings as otherwise our squad is ridiculously big which will only impact on team spirit, minutes available for player development and pathway potential.

 

[Rocky]

Sign a centre half and we're sorted as Luke can cover both full back positions, if needed

 

[Cjg5x]

I still reckon there will be a totally left field signing that hasn't been linked in any way. It will just be a scarf pic at the AoL with Speakman hiding in the trees in the background

hey, I’ve copyrighted that meme.

when I met speakman on Saturday I was going to show him it and get a photo of him holding my phone with the photo on it, bottled it.

I've not liked Chelsea since Roker Park May 18th 1963

I think a fair few could find themselves out of the picture as they dont fit in with RLB’s high pressing game

Cost us promotion??
Before I was born like so guessing a bit tbf

Its incredibly dodgy.

Tbf a lot of the summer deals in the PL have been dodgy, vastly inflated fees for kids to give FFP wiggle room.

 

[Samcro]

As far as I’m aware Aleksic was the closest. Was under the impression he had a medical with Isidor last week. Since news broke of an agreed fee I imagine it’s him done

Just been told of one lads in work his son plays for u18's and last week they were all told to keep away from part of the academy because 2 medicals were getting done. Obviously 1 was Wilson and he said other was roko. Said it's very strange how that one has gone so quiet now.

Some French media saying Mendy is staying where he is

Hume-O'Nien'Ballard-Cirkin

I understand your point but would there be a time when all 4 first choices will be missing from the line up? Substitute 1 of the bottom 4 into the top and it won't be as bad, the weakest for me would be Johnson at RB but like you said they could change formation to accommodate
