2024/25 Summer Transfer Rumour Thread

I would assume that it would be one of Ugbo or Celar given neither likely to be cheap? And if Dykes and Armstrong go then maybe a young Prem striker on loan at the back of the window. But that's purely my guesswork.

The article/clickbait I read said Wednesday can't afford him, supposedly £2.5m, whereas we (with Armstrong money) can.

Just need Blackburn to buy Dykes now

I think Anderson could be a No 10 tbh

Rumour: Sarpreet Singh, ex Hansa Rostock, is a player we are interested in according to "Football Insider.....". Attacking midfielder from NZ. Oxford etc also interested. 

Agree Santos main position is right back but can play further was a wing back as well.

Generally while it's great to speculate I. think. it a bit early to try to name starting 11's. Firstly there is a long way to go before the window closes and transfer business is done. 
Secondly and maybe more interesting is that we signed a bunch of young players who were reported as being for the development squad. So far I have not seen their names anywhere in development squad news and many are spending time with the first team squad. People like Morrison and Bennie have a bit more age and experience and I expect some of these "development" signings to go straight into the first team squad. 
Marti's history is bring on the younger players but using experience when needed and to help develop others. So is Morrison a standby in case JCS goes or someone who will be ahead of Fox for example in the pecking order. Bennie is another one depending if we sign anyone else. Great problem to have though if we have a squad that can rotate and change formation as required and cover of injuries. Things starting to look good if the players blend.

Really?

Omar Rekik ,CB from Arsenal, is linked to us on a "dodgy?" X account.

Spent a couple of seasons on loan at Wigan, so he'll know Morrison if he comes in.

Yeah, ain't that far fetched Ginge. Could well be Twitter shite as Shania just pointed out though!

We're probably alright at Centre Half to be fair. Even if Clarke-Salter is off i'd imagine that Dunne is gonna slot in there now we are better stocked at right back.

Shaping up very nicely to be fair. Bit more quality on the wings and I think we have a nice little squad.

So is there any fan on here not happy with the window or the direction of the club now? couldn’t believe it on another site some fans were moaning about Armstrong going

I was about suggest Bill

The absolutely bonkers Gaz days of emptying the tank, Hakas and cowboy boots already seem a loooooooong time ago.

So looking forward to the new season. Not expecting miracles, but definitely looking forward to getting some respect back at and for the club.

Yes, French playing in Belgium, Brazilian playing in Portugal, Scot playing in Germany, Slovenian playing in Switzerland and an Aussie for good measure. we have certainly cast the net.
I think it means that our approach to player recruitment now is very different.
Just how, who and how come, matters not if they are good signings.
We have seen scouts (that I did not know we had) posting their goodbyes, and our head coach being very circumspect until confirmed signing, but clearly involved.
But I think that there is a good working relationship between Nourry and Marti.
Unusually, we have read that Marti is very keen on Varane, so I would be surprised if he is not the next cab on the rank.
Belik was and still is Head of Recruitment.
So one of the takeaways has to be that less is more. Removing layers of decision making has simplified our processes and saved money and time.
