Summer transfer window 2024 (45 Viewers)

[Samo]

Well Fernando, after the sheaf news you have got my boner instantly raging again.

What Sheaf news? What did I miss?

 

---

[Samo]

Is Madsen a similar player to Sheaf?

For anyone who knows.

He scores goals, so no

 

[Balli001]

What Sheaf news? What did I miss?

Palace want him

 

[fatso]

Palace want him

They'd have to sell the Palace to afford Sheaf

 

[David O'Day]

Palace want him

so do a few other clubs, ipswich still interested for example but as has been said it will take a bid too good to turn down to see him leave

Ipswich already spent a fair whack I thought

 

[Balli001]

They sold Olise for 50mil and possibly Guehi for 70...

 

[fatso]

Well Doug will know they have plenty of money available.

Let's hope we demand a King's ransom.

 

[Chris1987]

Love Sheaf but if he goes it will be for a good whack and I'm confident that the proceeds would be spent well in the areas we need upgrading. I actually view it as win win.

Agree.
I’d just like it done this week either way.

 

[Monty]

It is strange no Captain been announced yet either which I believe will be Sheaf if he stays

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Really think we need to start getting things properly in place over the next week. Are we loaning out certain players? Are we getting in a new CM with or without Sheaf? (Most of us agreed we need another CM even before the Sheaf news.) Are we getting a new CB and/or backup RB? Or do we do all this right near the end of window once we do/don’t get the Gyokeres/Hamer/Sheaf money? Really hate this point in the window when there’s so much on the line 🫠

I hope Palace either hurry up or fuck off, okay the window’s open for another 3 and a bit weeks but the start of the league is literally just around the corner.

Which I think is messed up. The window should open as soon as the season is over and close the day before the season starts.

you are the most impatient person i've ever come across. things have properly been in place the last 3 weeks, we have just had a good pre season.

This all cannot be determined until our transfer business has been completed. We quite rightly have no idea what is happening behind the scenes and so many scenarios are dependent on each other. It is wrong to say that we need to start getting things properly in place - that process was started in January with the EMC signings. Arguably we are further down the line that any other Championship club Take a look at the Madsen thread by the way.

Wouldn't have had you down as chief bed wetter.... oh no hang on....

That’s unlucky given that it’s a football forum.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Not talking about our current starting players, just what we’re doing with potential signings and potential loanees. Should we loan out Tavares, Obikwu and/or Burroughs for example? Should we buy a CM anyway as we currently need one, independent of whether Sheaf goes or not?

We’ve had a decent pre-season and it’s set us up well, just think that we should start thinking about loaning players out and getting in a CB or backup RB if we’re going down that route.

There’s only 5 days until our first game of the season? When am I allowed to start wetting the bed? 🫤

 

[SleepyGinger]

In what world are we in a bed wetting position? Have you only been supporting us the last couple of years?

 

[procdoc]

we are going to field a very strong side against Stoke, even without Sheaf or a new CM

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Take a look at the Madsen thread by the way.

Ah cheers only just seen it tbf, great news, hope he realises it’s a good move for him.

By your posting on here it seems like bedwetting is just something you do, regardless of reason

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

For Stoke, yeah it’s a decent side (because they’re shit) but for other teams I feel we could do with players bedding in a bit. Use the easier games like Oxford etc to give them a few mins on the pitch.

Maybe it is Maybe I’m just subconsciously worried we’re not good enough

 

[fernandopartridge]

In the bits of friendlies I've seen so far we seem to have better fluidity than we did going into last season and that's missing arguably two of our best 3 players in Sheaf and Wright.

Yeah I think that’s largely been due to Rudoni having that free role to link defence and midfield and midfield and attack. He’s going to be absolutely key

We have just played Everton off the park and should have beat Bremen. It’s nowhere near as bad as you are making out

Agreed

The one big regret I’ve got in this window is not signing Harrison Burrows - that guy is going to be class and his link up with EMC would’ve been incredible

 

[TinPotTaylor]

I'm actually quite glad we didn't sign him. I thought defensively he looked pretty poor, last season and when he played in the championship

 

[Diogenes]

Me too - I know everyone says he's rubbish defensively but my spidey sense tells me he's going to smash it.

 

[junglej13]

Bit of interest in MVE it seems. No surprise.

 

[rexo87]

Report says 10m euros would be asking price but has to be at least double that IMO. Under contract until 2027
