Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

Rejected, but this is becoming a very shitty day. Seems we have given up on the season after an unlucky start, selling assets and will hope to stay up and go again next year.

I know we don't have a huge amount of money, and need to sell to plug the gap, but coming so soon after half our stadium plans have been scrapped is a massive kick in the teeth.

Aye, seems to be that you're the victim of your own success.

 

[blademan89]

yeah but there's only one arrogant club that's younger than us all that thinks they have a rights to it

1st united the only united

 

[Liam_SWFC]

You might want to narrow it down, there are a lot of UTD's in England

The dirty red and white ones.

 

[JoshBCFC]

Apparently Luke steele (goalkeeper) is on trial with us

Still being linked to Billy Bodin.

Bristol Rovers fans seem to love him, would be happy with that one. Bagged 5 this season.

I think you're catastrophising things somewhat and are going a bit OTT. Jota and Dean were always off. It'll most likely be £6m rising to £8m, and if Colin goes it'll be for his release clause (£3.5m), so that would be £11.7m rising to £14m for three players who were always likely to leave this window.

Chuck in the £2m we got from the Gray transfer and £750k for Gogia and that's somewhere between £14.5m and ~£17m in sales for us this window, against a spend of ~£5m. We've added exceptional players (there's no way that Ollie Watkins has any less potential than Jota and Marcondes could very likely come in today) and have turned a massive profit.

The business model works and the club has always progressed each season. Calm down, brother. It'll be alright.

Scrap that one according to one of our local reporters...

 

[El Guapo]

Fee agreed with Rubin Kazan for Alex Song. Proper going for it today.

Oh I know, the club will get stronger and stronger. The strategy is exactly right and I am entirely on board, doesn't mean that today won't feel a bit crap in the process.

It does also feel a bit crap that we can make £10m profit in January, and £15m profit in the summer, and still be financially screwed.

Brentford the Southampton of the championship.

Have to say they really are a great example of a business model & get some real gems through the door

 

[blademan89]

Hope wolves and Boro both fail to go up would be quite hillarious

 

[toshj]

We've bid €14m for Jurgen Locadia from PSV.

We were seriously in for him a while back - was frustrated at not starting at PSV and we stood a real chance apparently. Hogan coming good after his injury apparently put an end to our interest, but he looks a cracking signing.

 

[JJH]

Good afternoon all....

We've signed Luke Steele from Greece, presumably as a number two. Alright at Barnsley wasn't he Craig?

It's the un-level playing field of the Championship sadly. FFP and parachute payments totally screw well-run clubs like ours; Benham could arguably afford to fully go for it one season - ala Bournemouth - but the FFP risk is significant.

Is flint going is the question we all want to know

Doesn't look like it. We priced Boro, Brum and Norwich out of a move for him and they've gone and signed other players for less money.

TBH there better players as well.

City squad is huge now,

 

[TomPNE94]

Wolves bid £10m cash upfront for Hugill.

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

Sky saying Jordan Mutch has to choose between City & Burton

 

[JJH]

Mutch would be a quality signing yes please.

 

[Bobbin']

The world really is his oyster.

 

[SF_]

Latest rumour is a midfielder from Celtic.

Potentially our only addition.

Hugill expected to stay put.

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

Tough choice really, 3rd option is to throw himself off a bridge lol

 

[hodge]

Birmingham want Wilshere on loan

 

[El Guapo]

May as well just hand us the title now...

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

Birmingham want Wilshere on loan

I came to post that, they have 2 cb on loan, song & now wildhere

 

[El Guapo]

Potentially a midfield of Jota, N'Doye, Song, Wilshere & Boga
