Transfer Rumours Summer 2024 transfer thread

I think the opposite. Greaves makes Jones a better player, he also helps Jacob a lot. We essentially could do with two centre halves, unfortunately McLoughlin has regressed, probably because of Greaves. Now we find a Faye type that’s excellent but you also need project type. Burrows for instance at Peterborough will cost you 10 million plus. You aren’t gonna replace him in one hit, he’s too talented.

Replacing Jaden will be hard but not that hard in numbers. There’s currently 7 in the league with greater numbers as a winger. Zaroury could do those numbers if firing and fit. I could name 9-10 that could possibly do it, not so easy with Greaves.

 

So true.

 

But negotiating with DMac is as bad as Daniel Levy, he knows there's plenty of interest so he asks for daft money.

I saw a compilation on Twitter of Hughes at Wigan and the lads looks a PL CB in the making. Whether he's ready to immediately step up is another question but I can't see us going for Cashin or Edwards due to price.

 

Depends on the structure but you'd imagine a significant bonus would be promotion

 

Hughes is also good, yeah.

 

Also don’t forget young centre half takes 2/3 years of nurturing. Maguire did and Greaves did as well.

 

It's easier to replace a centre half than a forward, there are always a few older ones coming down from the PL that you can get reasonably enough. Chambers would be a Rolls Royce at this level.

 

It's just some of the rare skills he has, I can't imagine he'd be using under Dyche. The way he can play out, get forward, and defend insanely high in our man-for-man system. I'd imagine Dyche would want him to play a more basic game than that: stay in a flat back line, and not do anything too fancy. I think it'd be a shame and I think he's capable of more.

 

What about Souttar at Leicester? Not sure how much they'd want for him though but with their FFP pressures they might have a bit of a firesale.

 

Mega injury prone

 

Is he? I don't think he's missed a game with injury in 2-3 years.

 

Southport is very posh...Loads of money.. Frequented by the likes of Stevie G and Sir Kenneth and loads of ballers....Its like Hornsea on steroids...

 

Used to work with a Chelsea fanatic, used to go all over with them in their Div 2 days, pitch shareholder etc. I asked him why he supported Chelsea when his older brother was a City fan, used to on away trips with us when we were lucky to have 50 fans there some weeks. He said he started because when we played Chelsea in 1966 he said before setting off for the replay his brother said we will beat this lot. I am so sure that if we we don’t I’ll give you ten bob. Ten bob was a fair wedge for someone about 10 years of age. I told him I wish it had happened in the previous round. He asked why and said because he would now be sat in the canteen telling us what Southport had done and travelling to some very different grounds.

 

When does the transfer window end?

 

****ing hell, it's going to be a long summer. Just hope the weather agrees.

 

Its going to be a scorching summer

 

I wonder if we'll see the replacements in before greaves and/or philo go (hopefully neither)

Don't want teams knowing we've got loads of cash ala West Ham and Rice.

We've been reasonably open about FFP problems and whilst its true it also stops teams thinking that just because Acun's as excitable as a spaniel in spring they can stick another 20% on top!

 

Ours for incoming mainly opens on Wednesday 28th August, this comes after we're told we want our business done early.
