Transfer Thread pre-2024/25 season

Reports that we’re negotiating for a Belgian winger-Michel-Ange Balikwisha. And yes, I did copy and paste that.

Deal is done for the Villa keeper allegedly, and Schmeichel is due to get his medical this week and join up with the rest of the team in America.

And I didn’t copy and paste Schmeichel’s name, but I absolutely had to check it.

Atalanta back in for MOR-we’re supposedly holding out for £25 million minimum. 🤷‍♂️

POV … Sounds promising.

Happier with the short-term Schmeichel signing if we’re getting a younger keeper in now as well … and the winger isn’t another midget!

Well, you just want everything, don’t you?!? Pfft!

‘ For me, both Bernardo and Idah won't make a huge difference, so the reported 10m or thereabouts are not a good investment.“

Seriously?

Yes. Don't get me wrong, I think both are decent. I just don’t think they are worth a combined 10m or thereabouts

In saying that, obviously the club don't think they are worth that either 🤣

We need much better on the left side of defence badly though. I hope that is being worked on. Be negligence otherwise

I’m not sure what fans expect for £10m (I think it’ll be nearer £8m but that’s by the by) for two players who could quickly become first team regulars.

Would love us to have an out and out tall striker for a change who is prepared to hit the rough and tumble and stick his head on the end of a cross and know how to bury it. I think Idah shows every sign of being that striker.

Bernardo we need. McGregor is getting older and slower and more prone to injuries these days. Sad to say but maybe we’ve got two decent seasons at best from him left. With O’Reilly likely to be sold at a decent wedge we need someone in there.

Plus; they both know what our club is like and want to come back by the looks of things. I’d be happy with £10m for the two of them.

Just my opinion of course.

Schmeichel signing being “delayed”. Hey ho. I guess that explains this other keeper being touted.

Agree with all of that, my thing was the cost, but if we really got 4.5 for Oh..............

It’s the cost and I’d be raging if we as a club turn our backs to these players at this level because the powers that be at CP decide to slam shut the transfer kitty tin
