Transfer Rumours Winter 2025 Transfer Thread

Is he the one that was at Grimsby a few years ago?

Nope but it is his younger brother.

We were discussing the strikers we've had whilst pedalling this morning... from Van of H, to Altidore, N'Doye, Eeeeeaves and then I threw Dicko in and my mate nearly fell off his bike laughing... Oh for an Abel Hernandez right now... jees we've wasted some money on that department and other than AH have never found one....

Even Abel wasn’t a consistent scorer at PL level - which we were when we signed him. He was great in the Championship though.

He scored 8 goals in 50 prem games
Pretty mediocre imo
For the price

Experienced old striker, come on down billy sharp.


How's Connolly getting on at slumberland?

20 goals in 39 league games got us promoted, making him worth every penny.

60 transfers totalling about 51m euros and we are in the position we are in. Granted this summer window has had some bad luck with injuries but it does highlight a lack of stability

It highlights way more than a lack of stability! It highlights gross incompetence!
Assuming that's true, and I can imagine it is near enough, that is absolutely shocking.
Let it sink in for a moment.
61 players in. 50 mill euros (give or take).
And, correct me if I'm wrong but we've only sold on 1 for a good profit (Philogene) and ended up in a relegation scrap!!
Beggars belief. People need shooting.

The Buck stops at the top...Wreckless.

50m on transfers since when?

The topic seems to be since Acun took over.

That seems insanely high doesnt it

Now we need to compare to similar teams
Are we spending insane amounts
Or is it the norm

 

[Brucebones]

Yeah, I didn’t realise he had one, just googled it, John, currently at Bolton, so it’s more likely we’re after him, judging by the teams mentioned that are after James!

 

[bradymk2]

I highly highly doubt we get james mcatee

Hes probably the most sought after midfielder in the championship on loan

 

[TigerGaz]

Suspect it's James McAtee

Really? He’s miles too good for our team.

The whole wide world knows that.

Ultimately it does, I agree.
But maybe that's why Tan has gone and maybe there's more to Darnborough going than we're aware? Is Beri Pardo still involved?
Let's hope he's finally got it 'right' with delegating this time to Dublin, Selles, Clutterbrook, etc

Our biggest spends have come after selling assets like KLP, Greaves or Jaden. But if you take this summer alone I think we are the 4th biggest spender

 

[Gone For A Walk]

i think Beri has gone aswell

His title was Sporting Director, which is now Dublin's job title, so it looks like he must have gone too.

 

[Jim the Tiger]

Feels like this is the 4th? window in a row that we've needed a squad overhaul or a number of new additions.

We need at least 5 top quality players to come in to save us and given the track record of whoever the ****'s in charge these days, I have serious doubts they'll pull it off.

For every Delap / Carvalho/Philogene there's a Giles, Tetteh, Pelkas, Woods, Omur, Bedia, Burns, Mehlem, Twine, Traoré, Sharp, Vinagre, Lokilo, Furlong, Figueiredo, Sinik. etc. etc.

Their track record is **** and quality prem loanees won't be sent to a team fighting relegation.

Acun's got a lot to answer for.
