Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

[Ciderup]

There's a rumour on ours that we're after Kenneth Zohore on loan from Crapdiff. While he's definitely the type of player we're after, I just can't see them helping us out.
Good player tho.

 

[JJH]

Bolasie at Villa was a revelation then — £70k per week for nearly 6 months and only 2 starts.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Has a grown man really just called a team Crapdiff?

Bolasie just going through the motions.

Oh and Oliveria to Reading could be a masterstroke and may just keep them up imho.

Ashley Cole going Derby, thought he retired 4 or 5 years ago...

 

[MagpieBee]

Nico Yennaris gone, weirdly it hasn't been announced yet, but he was pictured playing for his new club in China over the weekend, so it must have gone through.

£4.5m rising to £5.5m, with a sell on (which we won't get anything from in all likelihood). Very good deal for us.

Ashley Cole going Derby, thought he retired 4 or 5 years ago...

He got player of the season for the last 2 years I believe, something along those lines. I am a little jealous of this, he was brilliant, even though he is a money grabbing Chelsea c***.

Yes, I did. Can't help myself TBH Southey.

A measly £15k a week, do you reckon he is shaking?

 

[MagpieBee]

And Mepham is now gone too - £12m rising to £16m with a sell on.

Ideally we would have got more, but the fee is probably a fair one at the end of the day. He'll do great there. Hopefully he gets sold to a Top 6 team at some point for an ungodly amount of money so we can benefit from the sell on.

Jeanvier is a decent enough replacement, but hopefully this means we'll get a couple of new faces in. Most of £40m recouped so far this season, should pay off a fair amount of the stadium, existing debt and still give us some decent replacements.

Glad Bolasie has fucked off. Waste of space and money. Everton have said he still doesn’t feature in their plans.

 

[villa loyal]

What we should really do is sign over the hill John Terry and be in awe of everyone

Terry was a good signing.

 

[markwwfc1992]

John Obi Mikel is a good signing for Middlesbrough.

 

[QPR_Matt]

John Obi Mikel is a good signing for Middlesbrough.

He moved to China for the money, so I am not sure he is the right type of player. If he is motivated he'll do well but seems like he wanted to come back to England and any club will do. I don't know why I think it but I imagine he'll be like Bosingwa was for us and literally just turned up for a final pay day without really trying.

What happened, how come he was such a flop?

Obi Mikel is probably still decent but will he give a shit about playing in the Championship? In the coin chasing stage of his career, not convinced he will be a hit.

 

[villa loyal]

Because he joined villa probably.

 

[JJH]

What happened, how come he was such a flop?

He was always massively overrated anyway but injuries have killed him off.

He needs to be loved. When things are not going his way he drops off massively .

 

[QPR_Matt]

Just seen that Matt Smith is being linked to Millwall again. I think he would be a decent fit there. Not getting into our team and with how we play, he is only good for coming on if w eare chasing or defending a lead.

5th signing of the window done.

Joe Rafferty from Rochdale, fee around £150k, direct replacement for Callum Woods, giving us another option at fullback, seems he can play on either side.

 

[PrestonCha]

Funny reading all these big fancy names and fees in this thread.....then we kick the door in and announce we've signed a RB from Rochdale for £150K

Villa paying Bolasie £70k a week to have 6 more points than us.

Value.

 

[The Southbank]

We've signed Nelson Oliveira from Norwich. Having a Portuguese manager might help him rediscover some form. Him and Loader up top could be a fantastic partnership.

Also signed Emiliano Martinez from Arsenal on loan. Seem to remember him shipping 5 against us when we lost 7-5 to Arsenal in 2012.

We had Martinez on loan back in 2014, he was decent enough but surprised he's still on Arsenal's books.

Let's hope they fail to go up this year and next then end up in severe financial turmoil, end up in league one for a few years at least, maybe see them back up here in about 10 years. Trying to fully buy there way back up so fuck em.

That’s you off the Christmas card list.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Martinez did a solid job for us and Rotherham at this level.

Oliveria is a decent signing too.

Hopefully both play wank and they fuck off down so I don't have to visit the monstrosity of a stadium or the backward shithole that is Reading for a long long time.

You like Villa then?

Us too.

We're supposedly looking at another wideman.

Bit of a susrprise, even with Bodin & Robinson out for the season we still seem to be covered unless Brandon Barker is being loaned somewhere else for more minutes and Ginnelly isn't in this season's plans whatsoever.
