Stickied Transfer Rumours & Confirmed Deals Thread 2023/24

[hodge]

So almost doubling our record transfer...

 

[hodge]

Doubt it'll stop there too. LJ would have spent nigh on 20million since he's arrived. Major progress needs to be made this season, major.

Major progress

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Mate it reported the Vaughan rumour the other day and it came from a fake account ffs.

This bloke looks alright, 21 in 35 in Ligue 2, will either be a Kodjia or a Camara though.

He got 8 in 31 in Ligue 1 last season, not sure I'd want to chuck 5m at him.....

Hmmm, we will have to wait and see I guess but it's certainly a lot of money. A bit of research says that Angers played ultra defensively in L1 last season but 8 goals isn't exactly prolific.
There were some fairly big clubs interested in him so we, obviously, hope he's decent.

Over 20 in Ligue 2 the previous season which is the same division we got Kodjia from, 5.2m is still a risk though granted

 

[M Dogg]

In for Jackson Irvine - yes please

Everything can be distorted with stats, 14/15 he scored 3 in 27 in the same league, you'd have to hope his 15/16 goals record isn't just a one season wonder

Neither am I it's a big gamble. Mind you, you've spent similar on players like Adam Reach - we both have more money than sense.

 

[Ciderup]

Good player! I would like us to be in for him TBH.

Bringing in any foreign player is a gamble, we splashed a fair whack on Kodjia and before his last season at angers he'd barely scored 15 in his career. Could go either way, started to get me wanting to talk about football again anyway.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

I've seen Connor Mahoney was on the verge of signing for Preston or Forest at various points recently. I take it neither actually completed? Because we're supposed to be signing him now on a 'free' (out of contract with a bit of compo) from Blackburn. Like Emmerson Hyndman he'd probably be farmed back out on loan again, whether that's the best thing for him, I doubt?

 

[markwwfc1992]

Jed Wallace and George Saville both officially signed for Millwall. Good luck to them both.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Please no!
Be gutted if he goes - he was class last year.
But I am also a realist and I know we are still a small club and we can't stand in the way of progress.

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

Offer accepted from Ipswich for Emyr Huws. Tara kid and all the best.

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

Look at lys mousset went to Bournemouth and did fuck all

 

[HertsWolf]

Sad to see Wallace go. Was very good at Pompey and not given a real opportunity at Wolves. He'll come back to haunt us.
Happy to move young George on though. We didn't sell many kid's shirts with the name Saville on the back, tbh.

We will splash the money on a winger who will get injured for two years within a few weeks. We should be sponsored by BUPA.

It does seem to be a huge gamble when you go for furners. They can be brilliant (Helder Costa for us last season) or dire (Paul Gladon for us last season). But comparing them last summer, you'd probably have expected performances to be the other way round.

Oh. And bye Silvio. You sounded like a model of moped. Only less powerful and not as good in the air. Good luck with whatever career you choose to follow now.

Josh Harrop signed on a 4 year deal for a significant fee.

4 year deal shows that the club think really highly of this guy, i'm looking forward to seeing him play but i'm not sure how he will fit in. Maybe similar to Will Keane (hopefully more effective) and floating behind the striker, i'm convinced he's our McGeady replacement.

 

[D B Disco]

Our first signing.......

Eros Pisano, 2 year deal

 

[hodge]

RB needed bolstering so good that we've got that sorted quickly, hopefully 1 more for that position to come in though.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Vincent Aboubakar linked again. Was at Porto for a time with Nuno.

Also Jeff Shi has said money is no object this summer, that promotion only goal the club has this season, and that he doesn't like FFP

 

[SF_]

Kevin Long from Burnley rumoured to be one of our targets.

Irish and a centre back so that's 2 boxes ticked.

Seems like he's been solid whenever he's played for Burnley and has been recently capped, would be happy with him.

only because you got rid of a top RB

 

[Ciderup]

Mark Little wasn't that good!

 

[KevinMcallister]

we've signed ex-Liverpool academy player Madger Gomes on a 3 year deal, looks like just for the u23's atm unless he manages to impress

 

[JJH]

Pisano signed and Diedhiou over for a medical today.

Also, Greg Stewart left Birmingham on loan. Knew he'd be an incredible signing didn't we El Guapo?

Nobody said it was an incredible signing.

The potential is clearly there, just hasn’t settled in Birmingham.

He will thrive at Aberdeen.

 

[El Guapo]

Shotton lined up as a replacement for Flint if he goes apparently, would be happy with that.

What's the update on this?

 

[JJH]

Understandable.

Funny timing chief, the same paper that reported that has just put out an article saying we're listening to offers for Flint, so we'll see.
