Winter '25/26 Transfer Rumours Thread

[stubbo-admin]

Well seems like with all these international breaks, and us languishing, the rumours of ins and outs are rife.

Chuck anything 'worthy' of discussion on this thread...

[Come On You Irons]

We are rumoured on Claret & Hugh to have received an offer for Rodriguez from a La Liga club. The issue being his £100k per week wages.

If true, it's unreal the club gave such a bang average player a six figure weekly salary. Cheers 'guri Tim' and 'loser Lop'.

[Keep dreaming]

If Magassa wasn't worthy a go yesterday ahead of Soucek, you have to add the following to the January transfer plan:

Keeper
Central defender 
Midfielder
2 strikers


Will never happen though 

[Sweep]

Easy to see why a centre forward and a fast wide player are supposedly top of the list. 

Fulkrug hasn't worked and is usually injured, Summerville is okay but frequently injured and Guilherme hasn't had an impact.

January transfer to West Ham could see swoop for Arsenal player - CF, Kaio Jorge.

Apparently chasing a new 'keeper too - Christos Mandas of Lazio

100% agree.

[Eerie Decent]

With Traore, it's pointless looking at his stats and how good his crossing is. He is a player who pushes the opposition team back because of the obvious threat he has, and would get our better players further up the pitch. He's not a great footballer, but let's be honest, every time he comes on against us, the first thing I think is for fuck sake, not this cսnt.

Not someone you'd want starting every week, but we've got absolutely no back up on either wing at the minute, and injury to Bowen or Summerville will have us playing KWP on the wing, so we need reinforcements, would take the bowling ball on a cheap deal.

Talksport saying we are interested again in the 23yo Toulouse centre half Charlie Cresswell. Formerly of Leeds & kept Woltemade quiet in the u21 Euros final that England won
If we could shift Kilman & get someone not scared of heading it would be a positive 

Don't see us getting a CB unless we shift one. We've a lot of investment tied up in CBs

[Mad Ferret]

SAVIO looks a bit different now, compared to the weedy boy that we were fleeced for.

Is anyone surprised that Trundle is stalking him on Insta?

Prob routinely wanks off to his pics.

Aerially capable CB and mobile CF absolute priorities. Midfield less of an issue if Potts stays fit

Rumours today of interest in Garner from Everton. Utility midfielder, covers DM as well as both fullback positions. 

Kind of makes some sense.

If he isn't really good enough for Everton, then he isn't for us, is he?

Think most of the summer signings are looking okay - hope we build on that. 

No problem with the odd free that's like Walker-Peters or Wilson, and Fernandes and Diouf look smart enough, Magassa okay, only the keeper who looks like poor value for the price paid.

Reckon we'll buy one for half decent money, one on the cheap/free and one on loan.

I know Traore ain't everyone's cup of tea, but if you have one eye of the championship and Bowen going if we get relegated , he'd probably rip it up whilst being a wildcard in the PL.

[Eerie Decent]

All those saying who should go and when, are you going to do the negotiating when convincing other mug clubs to pay JWP, Fullkrug & Guido £100k a week?

It'd be a miracle if one of them found a club stupid enough, let alone all three.

This January.

Fullcrock, JWP and Guido most likely departures. I can only see a ST coming in. In an ideal world would be signing another CB, CM and Winger.

We are fucked if Bowen gets injured.

Even Savio Nsereko managed to contribute more with around the same amount of minutes than him producing 1 winning assist for Collison.

Bit unfair to compare the two. Nsereko's game time was all during that brief 4 months or so when Zola was doing great, whereas Guilherme has played in a team that's been constantly struggling and mostly not in his preferred position.

Guido and Irving can leave on a free in the summer, so if I was guido id be hanging around till then.

[Mad Ferret]

If we're gonna let Guido and JWP (and maybe Irving) go, we prob need another CM as back up for Fernandes and Magassa.

[BRANDED]

We’ve won our last two games by playing a dynamic skilful midfield that we already had and most knew was possible. 

we need a striker.

we need to sort out the poor defence under pressure. 

 

[honky cat]

Don’t understand why Guilherme isn’t playing for the u21’s

 

Is there any proper reason for this? Are there rules about eligibility for the u21's league, do they all have to be home grown or not played in top level foreign leagues? I don't know just wondering. 

[Rossal]

There's a CB at Hull getting rave reviews.  Charlie Hughes.  Ball playing CB who is a leftie. 

Ideal Kilman replacement 

[Fauxstralian]

January needs to see Rodriguez, JWP & Fullkrug out… all of which should have happened in the summer
Fingers crossed that the reported interest by Palace in Kilman if Guehi goes in January is true. That would be a MAJOR result 

[Fauxstralian]

Don’t understand why Guilherme isn’t playing for the u21’s
Is playing no football at all so has no chance if he ever does come in cold
We aren’t in a position to have committed £20m on a youth ‘for the future’
Another bonkers decision

[Rossal]

We haven't paid £20 million for him that's what we'll pay if all add ons are met and he's still only 19... Potts has just made the team at 22. 

You know what I mean, fact is he has shown virtually nothing so far. This is now the third manager he hasn't got a sniff with.  If he was a youngster he probably wouldnt make the bench but is in and around it as we paid some cash for him. 

Hopefully a loan in Jan gets him going. 

But he IS a youngster.

He Should be out on loan this season...but he can't because those that are responsible sent us into this season with only young Luis as backup to Summerville and Bowen . 

I hope for his case and ours, we sign a wide forward in the window and he gets the second half of the season on loan in the Championship where he'll play 70 mins plus every week. 

Ideally somewhere he can commute so his support network remain in place. 

He was always a "project" signing....he had barely played first team in Brazil....let alone pulled up trees.  He's looked lovely in the cameos he's had without true end product. 

He needs minutes. Its ludicrous that he's barely played a single game of U21s since being here, despite his lack of game time. Were doing a bad job of building on his talent.

What Championship team is going to take him?  Its a tough league, and there will be some youngsters that have played first team football or some first teamers who are out of favour in our league available.  

It's easy to go 'oh send him on loan' but reality is he hasn't shown anything anywhere for a decent club to take him. 

To think if we had pooled together the Ghillurme and Fullkrug money together could of got a decent striker. 

[Massive Attack]

Even Savio Nsereko managed to contribute more with around the same amount of minutes than him producing 1 winning assist for Collison.

[honky cat]

Yep Guilherme needs to be farmed out to oldham or fleetwood for a season to sink or swim.
My gut feeling is he's another bad signing. I dont think being too young has stopped a player that is good enough from getting in the first team.
