The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

I'd rather Rayan was on the wing than at LB but I suppose that's just me.

I wouldn't as we don't have another LB that's fit for purpose.

It’d be quite nice to flog Podence and Guedes as well and use the Neto money to get a new wide player and at least one centre back. Maybe a keeper too?

Fair, but that's not affecting my thought that Rayan is a better attacker than defender.

Lee Naylor " play him on the wing" syndrome.

Get rid of that pair (I'd sooner keep Podence out of the two but I'd rather they both went), Cundle can go for a Giles-style fee to a top end Championship club, then get what we can for crap like Fabio, Hoever and Hodge, and accept Arsenal's latest £1 increment bid for Bentley.

50m+ seems about right to me given his injury record plus ad DW says he doesn't score often enough to hit a really big fee.
I'm a bit surprised if he wants to go to Chelsea though, absolute basket case.

Definitely Podence over Guedes. The others should bring in enough to upgrade Bentley and we should be able to bring in a forward and CH with the Kilman and Neto money. Just need a LB and good to go.

I once asked Dominic Iorfa if he fancies playing further forward, I actually think he laughed at me as well as Kenny and Paddy pissing themselves.

 

[Indy Wolf]

Would've liked to see have seen Neto stay and play balls in to Strand Larsen. But with hamstring problems, it's a good move. Now just bring in 2-3 more players like Rodrigo Gomes and this will be OK

Doubt whether he'll have much say, he'll do as uncle Jorge tells him. Just like when he signed for us in the first place

 

[Kenny]

Elsewhere Marseille are signing Nketiah on loan with a £30m obligation to buy. You'd think that ends their interest in Hwang.

He is on Bournemouth's list as well to replace Solanke

 

[Lycan]

This isn't a case where we can muddle around and replace him from within the squad. We need to replace him with quality.

This is the second successive summer where we've made >£100M in sales, there's still more profit to be made from the assorted shite we've managed to fill our squad with and we've barely spent anything yet.

Quality replacements should have already been identified and I expect movement on that front soon. Fail to do that and all this talk from Hobbs etc about aiming for Europe is just that, talk.

Do not forget how much we've just had to pay for our tickets and who we're being 'benchmarked' against. I expect us to act like a serious football club in this instance, not one playing at being a Premier League club.

Maybe, although reports are saying he was keen on the move.
Seems we were offered Chalobah and Fofana but we wanted cash which suggests to me the players we want are already earmarked.

Seems we were offered Chalobah and Fofana but we wanted cash which suggests to me that the eSports Stadium in China is now fully funded

 

[Tredman]

Or there's a bank account earmarked.

Boooo

So cynical

They've made all kinds of baffling and infuriating calls in all aspects of running the club since 2020, they'll probably carry on doing it too, but I think we can put the "they're siphoning off funds for themselves" theories in the bin. You can't take money out of a football club like that.

 

[AndyWolves]

Interesting that we turned Chalobah down, i think he'd have made us better
