Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2023/24

[mossypne]

Already rejected it, said we want 'significantly' more.

We've already rejected it, would be shocked if they come back in with more. He signed a new contract in September so we don't need to sell and as much as I don't really rate him, £2 million doesn't really get us much in todays market.

Crazy how we're all debating whether 1.5 million is worth it a striker who has only made it as a regular this year and scored 6 all season. Yet, 1.5 million is our highest ever spend. 1.8M for Garner and rejected 1.5M for Hugill all in 6 months...

Had we not sold Garner for £1.8m and recieved what, £600k? for Bailey Wright then I imagine we would have been tempted.

But Hugill is contracted to 2019, if he doubles his tally, then fuck knows what his valuation would be at the end of the season.

That £1.5m we spent on David Healy was back in 2001! ...good old ITV Digital.

This season is the first Danny Ward has been used solely as a froman, judge him on this season.

Seems to me you're saying you can demand what you want for strikers but we've got to settle for a relative pittance? Good job the club don't see it that way.

Meh, you know that's not what I'm saying. Can't be bothered to argue.

 

[MagpieBee]

We have am option to extend for 12 months in the summer we can exercise. So no he's not out of contract in the summer.

I'll repeat we've rejected £2m already.

I'll repeat I said "not sure if that's true"

To be honest, I don't blame Rotherham for trying to maximise the price, all clubs would do the same. There's no gamble for them as the player isn't OOC this summer as they had the foresight to put an optional year on his deal.
As supporters of other clubs, we all like to think we will get a good deal but would do exactly the same if our club was the selling club, wanting a huge figure for one of our players regardless of how good they were.
A player is only worth what a potential purchaser is willing to bid for that player so the potential for pricing a player out of a move is huge but the fees currently being quoted at the level are pure madness. An example, we've bought Jens Hegeler, an established Bundesliga midfielder with Hertha Berlin, who looked very good on his debut, for £150K with another £150K based on appearances. If Jens was English, god only knows what we would have paid.
I fear for clubs at this level, my club included, if prices continue to be as crazy as they are at the moment. We are very lucky to have an owner who backs the club but surely not everyone can sustain the present levels of spending?
In the present market, all strength to the Millers.

Newcastle bidding 20m for Callum Wilson. Interesting one...sentiment says I'd want to keep him and reject it. But It'd be a hell of a good offer.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Us and Leeds favourites to sign Matty Taylor from Bristol Rovers at 4/1 each. Hope it's true.

Hegeler has the potential to be the bargain of the season.

He isn't the type to provide a tonne of goals or assist, but he was by far the best on the pitch on Saturday, breaking up play and distributing well.

There was shock among all the German journalists that this player who was a household name would leave the team 3rd in the Bundesliga for Bristol City.

Looking at the CV he has, if Jens was an English player he would probably cost well over a million even in the final 6 months of his contract.

Please buy him. The dog wnaker over at the gas has said publicly that he 'wouldn't accept £10M' for him. More bollocks from the crappy club up the road which we will slaughter them for once he's gone!

 

[JJH]

I want us to sign him and send him out on loan to Swindon or another club that are competing with Rovers in L1, just for the amount of piss it would boil in north Bristol.

On first viewing, I don't think Jens is about goals or assists C169, more about stopping them at the other end.
I think he's made for the CDM role, absolutely made for it.

It would be very funny, especially as I live on their tiny slice of the city.

So your representation of a slow clap being from your perspective, however the fact you've chosen an incest bastard is very accurate representation for Rovers bravo

we are linked with matty taylor every window, complete rubbish

Ashley fletcher is who we are after, but we are being delayed by west hams pursuit of scott Hogan, and even then i'm sure they are negiotating to get a swap deal

leeds seem to be wasting time and effort once again

If Omar Bogle is worth 1.5m then Will Grigg who has scored 20+ goals in League One for two consecutive seasons is worth treble that. I hope we've told Grimsby to shove it if we enquired and they've quoted that price to us.

I'd say Grigg's fair price would probably be about £2.5m, which would be a fair increase on the amount he sold for last year given another decent scoring season. There is no way Grigg is worth much more than that.

The reason Bogle will get an inflated fee is the because of the goalscoring rates he's achieving this season. Grigg has always (apart from with us) been a solid 1 in 2 man in League 1. He's a good poacher in the box, but he doesn't have a lot of strength, or pace, so is requiring the rest of the team to set him up with the chances, and doesn't really end up helping the rest of the team's play.

Bogle is at, what, 18 in 20 this season? That hints at the potential for something a lot better, which is why his price will be higher than you'd expect.

Regardless, I think anyone would be mad to pay much over £1.5m for him at this stage.

Grigg isn't as good as Garner who went for £1.8m but he's younger so £2m-£2.5m is probably about right, doubt a Championship club would pay that for him though.

Bogle is just a massive gamble, scoring goals in League Two doesn't mean a great deal.

Will Grigg is a funny one. Pretty much all of his goals have been in league one and it's clear that that is very much his level. Wigan would do well to ever get £2.5mil for him, the only teams he's worth that to are the ones in League One and they're the ones who won't be able to afford it.

Championship clubs certainly won't pay it when he's struggled for goals in this division.

As I've said, League One is Grigg's ceiling but Bogle's is unknown. With Grimsby harbouring hopes of promotion, Bogle is worth more to them than Grigg is to Wigan whilst their a Championship side. In my opinion, of course.

 

[SF_]

In fairness to Grigg, he has scored some goals this season, but considering he doesn't really offer anything else to the team he hasn't bagged enough. If he's not scoring then he's pretty much pointless.

 

[City169]

absolutely agree, feel he may be one who gets underappreciated during his time in BS3, the role in the team he has isn't a glamourous one.

 

[Reaper]

Toumani Diagouraga to sign for us tommorow.

New offer in for Bogle.

Wednesday after Winnall and Hourihane, fucking love it if they pulled that off to see all the dingles crying into their sisters/wife's arms.

What happened to Diagouraga signing for us today then?

 

[Magic]

Rejecting bids of £7m for Charlie Taylor, which is good.

 

[KevinMcallister]

wish someone would get diagouraga off our books

decent player just a waste of wages for us atm

yeah but why is this "mysterious" knock taking him so long to recover?

 

[Magic]

Tbh I don't think it's that mysterious. Monk's been the same with virtually all the injuries we've got. He was substituted off (was it Brentford?) so he definitely was injured at some point. I don't think it's beyond belief that he's still suffering.

 

[SMH]

I don't know at times whether to defend Grigg or not. In the interest of fairness he has had a lot of mitigating circumstances this season. He missed the majority of preseason, his missus had a baby in September and he had a nasty virus and a knock which has left him unable to get a consistent run of games. He wasn't training when GC was sacked so Warren Joyce only got to see him a week after everyone else.

I don't for one second believe that he's worth three times more than 1.5m. But when he's a proven goalscorer at a higher level than Bogle then it frustrates me that Grimsby ask for a figure like that for Bogle. Personally I think 2m is right now a fair price and I'm pretty sure that's the figure quoted to Ipswich when they enquired about him earlier this month. However he's notoriously better in the second half of the season so if we don't sell him and he does it again, then I'd hope he'd be worth more in the summer. But if he continues to struggle and we get relegated then I think we'll be only be getting our money back that we paid for him in the summer with him having a year left on his deal. No doubt a Championship team with a small budget would take a chance on him if we went down.

Said yesterday there's complications, we wanted to loan and Leeds want to sell. It'll still happen.
