Transfer Rumours June 2024

Ok,to take our minds of the KMc rumours fiasco I thought we needed a specific transfer rumours thread.
Let the speculation begin!

 

So then first question, is there any credible information linking us to anyone in particular or is it going to be a wildly speculative fantasy wish list?

 

Where is the retained list? I find it very strange that we don’t even have that yet.

 

I think a thread for the "wildly speculative fantasy wish list" already exists here:

https://www.not606.com/threads/what-players-if-any.412753/

This thread is for rumours reported in the press or social media. I think we're all used to treating them with the requisite amount of salt depending on the source!

 

I see Aaron Cresswell has signed a one-year contract extension yesterday. I was kinda hoping we'd be able to tempt him back on a free to provide cover at left-back and Premier League experience.

 

Yes I'd thought that would be a good signing, good competition for Davis and someone with a tonne or PL experience. Easily the best player of the ME era

 

Facts are pretty thin on the ground. This thread is going to be quiet for the next few weeks at least I reckon.

 

Window opens on 1st June, so expect all the rumour in full swing after then. Also, with the Euros this year, a lot of premiership clubs will probably wait til then (or just after to start there business)

 

Was shocked by the England squad announcement. Where are Davis, Clarke, Woolfy, Chappers and Hirst?

 

What about Judge??

 

Stop it !!!!!

 

Joking aside. In regards to LB, Shaw has not played this season, Chilwell is out of favour and the cover would appear to be Trippier. I wonder how close Leif was to Southgate’s thoughts. I know he was “only” in the championship but lead the assist charts and I don’t think he would be out of place - certainly don’t think he’s worse than other options

 

Which positions do we need to fill?

In terms of an XI I think we could say we have:

CB Burgess
LB Davis
MF Morsy
RW Burns

which says we should sign six or seven players better than

GK Hladky
RB Clarke
CB Woolfy
CM Luongo
CAM Chaplin
LM Broadhead
ST Hirst

plus cover for Davis and Burns.

The most crucial being RB, CB, CAM and ST.

 

FFS, what's going on?? I completely agree with this!!

 

Lewis O'Brien?

Why the hell are we trying to buy midfielders?

 

Replace Travis and Ball?

 

Ball was always surplus to requirements. I'd be sorting out the first XI this window. Defenders and a number 10 surely the priority. Unless we are going to sign a midfielder that would keep Luongo out of the XI. I really hope we don't go and sign a dozen average players.

 

Given the result of the last two Seasons I'm going to continue to trust the process!
