Transfer Rumours Winter 2025 Transfer Thread

[SydneyTiger14]

We've been linked to Gelhardt before haven't we?

Last season: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25005037/hull-city-transfer-leeds-joe-gelhardt-championship/

baz was absolutely right that the striker is insanely underwhelming

gelhardt

however in selles we trust

 

[cheshireles]

None taken

It’s only a one year contract though and I’ve agreed to reduce my alcohol intake…on the morning before games.

and double your intake post games Den? Seems to have become my trait recently also given performances prior to Ruben joining!

what were union berlin even thinking signing bedia?

they wanted him out after half a season

Such a disappointment imo, what does he even bring? Ok he might press, we have pedro already.

 

[TigerMarv]

This is our 25-man squad for what it's worth (i.e. anyone shifted on from here frees up a spot for a signing)

Chris Bedia, Finley Burns, Lewie Coyle, Cody Drameh, Ryan Giles, Matty Jacob, Will Jarvis, Alfie Jones, Ryan Longman, Sean McLoughlin, Marvin Mehlem, Liam Millar, Abdulkadir Omur, Kasey Palmer, Ivor Pandur, Gustavo Puerta, Anthony Racioppi, Carl Rushworth, Dogukan Sinik, Regan Slater, Andy Smith, Oscar Zambrano, Alzate, Pedro.

Surely looking at that we de-register Belloumi, Millar and Zambrano, we've shifted Jarvis and Mehlem, Racciopi surely goes out on loan, Bedia and Burns loans terminated, and if we get Boly in we shift Smith out on loan too. Omur the other one who could be off. That's potentially 10 changes to the squad which is wild.

EDIT: Forgot Longman too, that's 11. So maybe Omur does end up staying? And Smith?

What you got against Alzare and Pedro?
Everyone else gets their first name as well

This is the pond we are fishing in at the moment. No way will there be any "blow your socks off" signings this window. Hopefully get some solid players in to get us to safety

28 goals in a calendar year for a side challenging at the top of the Swiss League.

the reality soon stuck though didnt it
hence why hes on loan after 6 months

 

[Kalman II]

Gelhardt has been injured a lot. He’s also not even a striker, really.

hes played about 10 times in last 2 seasons lol

I’d be surprised if he’s fit and available for selection in 10 of our remaining 20 games.

So he should be doing that here shouldn't he? Purple patches and all that.

Also, Gelhardt is more of a number 10 which ironically goes to my point yesterday.

It’s a decent squad option long term and he has some qualities off the ball I think Selles will seek out. Noticed that wingers are probably going to be the main goal threat in his system anyway

 

[Nikica Jellyfish]

Why would we let Macca go this month? He's playing well and is a really solid CB at this level, just not the easiest on the eye.

Should the worst happen, he'd also be a really good CB in L1.

He’s an absolute cart horse who gets spun every single week

It’s a loan. Would much rather Crooks be a loan and Gelhardt permanently.

It's being looked at as a six month loan though.

It's being looked at as a six month loan though.

I would expect it to be a loan with a view to it being made permanent in the summer.
