Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

[Bobbin']

Bristol City are laughing their arses to the bank.

15mil for a player who's had one good season, done fuck all this and have a better player in Tammy Abraham.

FairPlay for holding out, more fool Aston Villa.

 

[Bobbin']

It's pretty big news in fairness, most expensive deal ever in this division.

Between one Championship club and another I assume you mean?

Idrissa Sylla is on his way to QPR from Anderlecht for about 1.75 million. I think this bloke had a medical at Wolves, but it failed? Could be wrong though. Doesnt seem to be prolific but time will tell. At least its a striker though.

Now we just need a winger and someone who can create something.

He was a player who we wanted under Kenny Jackett, but since Zenga came in he ended our interest. Seems a decent player though.

Most expensive purchase by a club in this division ever and 3rd biggest sell in this division of all time..... I think

 

[Bobbin']

Who are the two highest sells out of interest?

Haven't Newcastle just sold someone for 20+ mil? I know we sold Darren Bent to Spurs for 16mil.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

If all add ons are met....

 

[markwwfc1992]

For this transfer window alone:

Most expensive purchase by a club in this division ever

Kodjia was bough for 11m upfront, Ross McCormack and Matt Richie were both purchased for 12m each.

and 3rd biggest sell in this division of all time..... I think

Oliver Burke
Georginio Wijnaldum
Ross McCormack
Andros Townsend
Nathan Redmond (joint with Kodjia at 11m)

Were all sold for more than 11m by Championship clubs.

 

[hodge]

The website I checked had Wijnaldum and Bent as higher values than Kodjia, granted it may not have been updated with other transfers.

The deal is worth £15m potentially though. All those other deals won't be up front either, that's not how the transfer market works.

Yeah we sold Wijnaldum for £25M and may still sell Sissoko for more than that.

I'm talking upfront though, he could turn out shit for Villa which would mean you're not entitled to anything after the 11m you sold him for. It's all if's and buts after that.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

So we now have the top two Championship - Championship transfer records then basically?

 

[JJH]

I'm talking upfront though, he could turn out shit for Villa which would mean you're not entitled to anything after the 11m you sold him for. It's all if's and buts after that.

So, Wjinaldum realistically will be the only deal that's been more money upfront.

Using the BBC as a source, can use another if you wish:

McCormack - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36973734 - 12m upfront, no add ons mentioned
Wijnaldum - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36846756 - 23m upfront, 2m add ons
Burke - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37210754 - 13m upfront, no add ons mentioned
Townsend - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36680273 - 13m upfront, no add ons mentioned
Redmond - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36630126 - 10m upfront, no add ons mentioned (i'll give you that one)

Kodjia http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37220214 - 11m upfront, may rise to 15m

 

[SaddlerJonny]

Rico Henry off to Brentford for £1.5m.

Lower fee than he's worth to us as is the Walsall way but I'd guess that we have stacked the deal with plenty of add-ons and sell ons.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Barnsley are signing Adam Armstrong.

Great signing.

 

[hodge]

Some strike force Barnsley have there.

 

[Craig]

Signed defender Adam Jackson from Middlesbrough on a 3 year deal.

 

[BCFC David]

All unproven at this level tbf. That being said, I do like the look of their team and said pre season I expected them to trouble the top 10.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Signed defender Adam Jackson from Middlesbrough on a 3 year deal.

Had him on loan for a bit last year, but didn't play a single game for the first team.

 

[Craig]

Must be shit like Kent then.....

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Must be shit like Kent then.....

when did I say Kent was shit

 

[SMH]

Reece Burke confirmed finally. Only taken 3 months of alleged interest but we've got him. Very busy deadline day on the horizon for us tomorrow. Incomings and outgoings expected.

 

[LeylandWhite]

Meanwhile at North End...nothing. So glad we've got the freescoring Makienok, Hugill and Doyle though or i'd be getting worried.

 

[Craig]

when did I say Kent was shit

I'm joking Joey boy.

Jackson is probably going to be way down the pecking order to start with, especially if the Kpekawa rumour is true. Hartlepool's young player of the season last term though. Big step up but our scouts haven't done too shabby up to now so I'll trust their judgement.

Where did you see the Armstrong rumour?

https://twitter.com/aidanmccartney/status/770654589465030656 - Guy is fairly reliable.

You've put together a great squad on a limited budget. Like the anti Rotherham.

Looks like Rotherham are in for him too. Surely we're not gonna do it again?

 

[G.B]

Last I head he was heading for Rotherham. That was earlier today.

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

I hope you do, I want him to actually progress.

 

[Craig]

Some strike force Barnsley have there.

Sam Winnall may be on his way out. Rejected a new contract offer with his current deal running out next summer. Don't know what's the matter with him but whispers he's become unsettled here. Hope it's all bollocks but it would explain our interest in a new striker.
