Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2024/25

[BarrieOwl]

So Barrie, what do you make about the recent rumours that Sheffield United’s takeover is now in doubt? Despite spending above their immediate competitors.

I knew the takeover was bollocks about a month back to be honest, the bloke fronting it hasn't a pot to piss in. But they've got PL parachute monies albeit they are using them as loans and have sold players to balance their books, it's hardly something new when a team comes down and blows the division out of the water, Villa and Newcastle did it in 2016/17.

Not a new signing but Alife Doughty has signed a new “long term” contract. Quite the turn up I’d say as he would certainly have interest from Premier League clubs and is certainly one of our best players.

At least gives us a decent negotiating position hopefully when he is sold

Following the game against Sheff Utd on Saturday, apparently Harrison Burrows mentioned that we (Derby) bid £2m for him and he was interested in the move, but then Sheff Utd came in. Shame for us - but glad to know we did show some ambition to bring in a left back (albeit Elder has been excellent so far this season after being persistently injured in the last campaign).

One of a few clubs linked with Jack MacKenzie at Aberdeen. Left Back who was in the latest Scotland squad.

Probably agent-led bollocks.

About to face a 2 year doping ban.

Zambrano suspended.

Looking like a bullet dodged from our point of view. All kinds of shady stuff going around him with the agents and clubs wanting extra fees for him and then this.

Not sure why Hull signed him, loads of clubs were linked but ultimately backed off because of it

16 month ban, being appealed. If ban sticks then supposedly we're covered, don't have to buy him, can release him. Might not however as he'd be a worthwhile purchase in 16 months if very cheap as he's a Prem player in waiting.
