Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2023/24

[Madejski]

Yeah he will get to sit on the bench most of the season.

Chelsea's bench > Reading's bench

Gutted it's not £6m+

 

[rudebwoyben]

When he was on-loan to us in 11/12, it was clear that he had a lot of ability and that he would go far. Even though I can't stand Chelsea, I hope he gets to do really well for them.

 

[Rammy]

Butterfield confirmed from Huddersfield. 4 year deal.

Of course i don't begrudge him moving there. Just personally don't think he is good enough for them and i will be surprised if he becomes a first team regular. Be interesting to see if we bring another defender in.

 

[The Southbank]

Be interesting to see if we bring another defender in.

Andre Bikey is a free agent..

 

[Dazza]

Andre Bikey is a free agent..

Bring him in now. I'v missed his hissy fits like the one he had at Burnley in the playoff semi final.

 

[Rammy]

Leon Best having a medical at Bristol City. Oh dear.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

From Dwight Gayle...to Leon Best?

 

[hodge]

Easy lads, easy.

Anyway, Alistair Durden, our local BBC Journo has confirmed our interest in Bradshaw. Urrrrrrrrrghhhhhh.

Oh no we'd sign a young striker whose shown lots of promise and potential, and would cost a fraction of what we've tried so far, what a shame....

 

[BCFC Jordan]

If Moore and Baker is true to Bristol City, there is the makings of a very good CB partnership there

Is this sarcasm? I thought he was unimpressive at Brentford? Wonder what happened considering he did well for Leicester in their promotion season.

 

[Dazza]

Apparantly Hector will be loaned back to us for the season.

 

[hodge]

Baker confirmed on loan till end of season

 

[Madejski]

Apparantly Hector will be loaned back to us for the season.

Hopefully all 3-4 years he's at Chelsea...

 

[JJH]

Baker signed on loan - really happy with that.

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Leon Best having a medical at Bristol City. Oh dear.

Been a distant rumour all summer. Wouldn't surprise me, although it'd be a shite signing.

Where'd you hear that?

 

[Rammy]

Baker signed on loan - really happy with that.

Many would say too happy.

 

[JJH]

Many would say too happy.

I'm enjoying the positive moments until Leon Best signs

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Nothing confirmed but rumour is Wednesday bidding 800k for Kermorgant, exactly the price we purchased him from Charlton 18 months ago I believe?

Might even be a small profit!

Surprised Chris Powell isn't doing everything he can to take him to Huddersfield.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Botaka confirmed, the lad seems absolutely delighted to be here, just hope he gets it right straight away

Lloyd Dyer rumoured as well as Buckley from Sunderland with Byram going there? + money ofcourse

we still need a CB

 

[Dazza]

Rumour Gareth McCleary is going to Crystal Palace for 3.5 million.

Template gushing quote to be rehearsed for use when holding new shirt up.

"I'm really pleased to have signed for [CLUB NAME]. They are a big club with huge potential. I know a few of the lads here and they speak very highly of the gaffer. I knew him at [NAME OF MANAGER'S OLD CLUB] and he's a bit of a legend there too. I've looked at the training ground and all the facilities and I'm very excited about everything. I can only hope I can repay the faith Mr [MANAGER'S NAME] has shown in me, and that I can keep shots out/defend/create/score [DELETE AS APPLICABLE]. I am really looking forward to fighting for my place in the team. It really is a dream come true to play here."

or the Leeds one "massive club and i want to get them back to the big time"

Rumour Gareth McCleary is going to Crystal Palace for 3.5 million.

Made up rumour.

Aaron Kuhl is off to Dundee United for a season long loan. Thought he was going to sunny Spain, ends up in Scotland...

 

[MagpieBee]

Is this sarcasm? I thought he was unimpressive at Brentford? Wonder what happened considering he did well for Leicester in their promotion season.

He was very impressive when we were in L1, and clearly was impressive when Leicester went up to the Prem, so there is clearly a player there.

Seems he lost confidence being torn apart in the PL, and so when he came to us he just looked completely lost.

A season long loan should settle him down. In Baker and Moore you have 2 very young hungry CBs, who both obviously have quite a bit of quality, a lot to prove, and a whole season to be settled in.

Very good moves from you I'd suggest. If it works...

I thought yours was the "I went in expecting 15k and they offered me 40... no brainer.".

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Fingers crossed. Glad to have some depth at least in one position.

 

[HertsWolf]

or the Leeds one "massive club and i want to get them back to the big time"

I thought of adding that, but the template has to be useful everywhere, and let's face it, a lot of clubs aren't as massive as us and Rotherham.
Obviously, the bit about training facilities doesn't apply at Blackpool either. Remember them?

 

[SF_]

Reporter in South Wales claiming that Cardiff don't intend on letting Eion Doyle go.

 

[Luke_1884]

Well Antonio to Derby can be put to bed at least,..

Signed for West Ham, 4 year deal.
