Transfer Rumours Winter 2025 Transfer Thread

[cheshireles]

Also gone unmentioned (not surprising given he’s played 4 games in his time here) but the arrival of 2 wingers also suggests Sinik is either out the door or nowhere near fitness

Sinik can't be out the door.......he's never walked through it in the first place!

 

[augustatiger]

The thing I dread is Giles going to ‘Boro and then them playing us, as I could quite easily see him tearing Coyle a brand new arsehole with bells on!

But that would be next season so anything could happen before then.

Probably walked into it and got concussion.

 

[Amin Arrears]

Maybe. I’m not getting ahead of it at this stage but it’s a serious coup if it’s done.

Barry to be player/manager by the end of the season if he comes.

Something tells me that Coyle might not be our first choice RB for much longer unless he gets his act together.

It would be good to get at least 3 in before Donny and chuck them straight into the team.

Pedro, Puerta and Alzate could all do with putting their feet up for a break after the mad rush of games over Christmas.

I feel the same and I just pay my money and walk through a gate to get in!

 

[TinpotTiger]

With the obvious caveat of he may not actually be signing, where does Barry play? I've seen it mentioned that he's a left winger and a striker, anyone other than Chazz watched him and know his best position?

Looks like a lot of fans are having this weekend off!

I really don’t get that. I’d have him as third best left back at City over that period, despite others been out of form.
I just think he looks like a youth team player struggling to establish himself in a mens team. No strength and doesn’t have the necessary attributes going forward to compensate. Coyle and Giles both replaced him in different games and both looked a huge step up.
Tin hat on.

I’m with you, I think he’ll fizzle out again…..any room under that tin hat?

Giles hasn’t replaced Jacob in any game, but Jacob’s replaced Giles twice.

I'd love him to succeed as a local lad, but early in the season he was absolutely awful. Will give him the benefit of doubt and put it down to The 'Tim' Effect! Sod the tin hat!

 

[askewshair]

It's also notable that his best performance came with the January window on the horizon.

Or a new manager where he understood what he was doing.

Why bench him for Boro and Leeds then?

Giles has been garbage. If someone’s willing to actually pay us money for him we should snap their hand off.

I agree, I just don’t think Jacob will be consistently better

 

[Mckechnie Orange]

What is it doing for the dressing room having a top earner being dropped for an academy kid?

He's stealing a living here atm.

Jacob will still improve though. And if Giles goes, we''re reportedly bringing in another

Would they care if the performances justify it?
