Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

Wickham... Meh

Ipswich are rumoured to be interesting in Ben Reeves of MK Dons. Central midfielder?

Behind Alli their best player last season IMO. Very good player.

Could see something in the 1 mill to WBA rumour. Not sure on this one though.

Also can't find where it's come from.

What's he like? Gotta confess I don't know much about him. 13 goals last season looks good?

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Look a few posts back I wrote about him

Does he leave for £1mil do you reckon?

Does he leave for £1mil do you reckon?

BCS pretty much summed him up from what I know of him. A forward thinking midfielder with an eye for a belter. Very tidy central midfielder who I'd bank on making the step up to this division with ease. When fit last season, was consistently one of the best players in the league.

£1m would be an absolute steal IMO, whether MK Dons need to sell or not is yet to be seen.

 

[MagpieBee]

Would reckon it would take more than &1m, primarily because he is one of the few remaining stars of last season (Afobe, Grigg, Alli)

Otherwise, £1-2m would probably be fair.

I wouldn't sell him for that much especially the price you see players going for now days. Unfortunately the board/management might take a different view of a million pounds for a player we got on a free very reasonable.

As he is arguably our best player and still young I'd want £3/4 million for him. Mainly because he is so good and we don't really have to sell.

I'd rather not lose him as we've lost enough quality this season in Baker, Grigg, Alli, Hall and Afobe.

I think in the situation you are in with players leaving, that is probably the right asking price. But given the quality of players who do move for that kind of fee (Forshaw last year who was L1 player of the season) in a normal situation I think you'd get half that, at best.

 

[big mean bunny]

I see it a lot about teams not needing to sell, but I think what we probably don't all consider is wages. Not needing the money and not being able to break a wage structure is different to one team being able to offer more wages than another. Not saying that is the case here ( I know nothing of the finances of either side)

We were clear favourites to sign Ross McCormack last summer, and it keeps swaying between us and Boro for Jordan Rhodes this summer.

He won't end up at either.

Especially not after he got stretcher end off at Accy today.

I agree, I just think in the situation we are in we really can't afford to lose players especially one of Reeves quality. This season was already going to be tough enough, couldn't take losing him as well. He is pretty irreplaceable atm.

Ben Marshall first linked with a Wednesday return, and now us this morning - Nixon says we're "very keen". Also in desperate need of wide/creative players so would certainly be in favour of it. Player seems to suggest he's happy Blackburn, but who knows..

If he goes anywhere I'd expect it to be to us, he loved it at ours, nice kid an all.

Was impressed by Reeves at Molineux when we met. Surprised he hasn't already gone to a higher division.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

QPR will be due a significant windfall from the Sterling move should it be completed. Could make a decent dent in their financial calculations.

 

[Smally]

20% of £49m apparantly, so just shy of £10m coming their way

I think people aren't willing to take a punt on him for two reasons. What we value him at and his injury record what isn't the best.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

We are allegedly spending 10m on two strikers this week.

You're gonna have us on toast on the opening day at this rate for fuck sake.

 

[Madejski]

Best time to play them. Lots of new faces to try and get used to playing with each other. Looks like their team will be unrecognisable from last season.

Think Wednesday will have a good season (play-offs) but they'll start slowly. Very happy we play them in August.

Sheff Wed the new Derby/QPR...

Aye it's all a bit mad but we can get around FFP by renaming Hillsborough.

£5m Murphy?

 

[BCFC Jordan]

You don't need to get around FFP. Look at QPR, Man City, PSG etc. It's a farce - and it was a broken system to begin with. Albeit with good intentions, it was just extremely flawed.

If clubs have a backer willing to invest, they should have the right to do so, regardless of what size crowds they get.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Nope....

Hooper and some bloke from Salzburg, also McGugan deal agreed I'm told.

Happy days.

I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than have Murphy darken our door again.

 

[TractorBoys]

Whilst that may be true he'll still comfortably our score anybody you sign this coming season...

Unless he reverts to type, was last season the only time he's ever scored 20 goals in a season?


Jonathan Soriano is the latest rumour.

 

[TractorBoys]

Fortunately we have terry Connor, boy genius.

In all seriousness, I am watching your lot with interest as to how you do this year.
