Summer Transfer & Rumour Thread 2022

[Branston Pickle 3,656]

You’re forgetting the brown envelope full of used £20s, that’s worth another 6 pts, I think….

[KeiranShikari 1,410]

So he's not a cut and dry auto pass then, interesting. I wonder if we'll be able to make a case to get it done or this is a get a deal done and keep him their on loan for another season so he passes.

As @YellowSubmarine pointed out earlier today, he's a youth player so we could appeal on the basis that he has significant potential-not guaranteed though, and it would cost us £5k to do!.

Considering that he hadn't played any professional football six months ago, it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that we'd leave him there until the end of the MLS season in the winter.

That's what I had assumed. He's played most games since making his debut and if he's clearly impressed enough for Webber to fly out there and try to convince him in person.

You're right, Black's was first, 66. Had no idea it was a Burt Bacharach song.

Also, it's a **** song.

Careful what you say about Burt Bacharach now… Absolute giant of popular music.

[Bovril 219]

I can’t see Webber flying all the way out there for:

a) a player he didn’t think he could get a permit for

b) a player who wasn’t ready to join the team immediately.

Webber knows he’s under mountain pressure.

And Kei Kamara is a team mate so he will know a lot about us as KK loved his time with us.

[BroadstairsR 2,162]

I always get super excited when we go in for these budding superstars who are destined to rule the world.

I had just got over Connor McGrandles' failure to make a mark, with the help of a course of diazepam, when we signed Christos Tzolis. 

The latter's indifferent first season at the club has required copious doses of alcohol in order to come to terms with.

But hey! Stuart Webber never lets us down.

Let's hope that  Ismael Kone is the real deal. He looks the part. He sounds the part.

I'm excited all over again.

Absolutely, but no one has a 100% success rate.

True, but anyone who wrote I Say a Little Prayer, even without considering the rest, deserves a bit of reverence. (I’ll shut up now)

The appeal process will probably be based on he’s a high potential player and go on to become a regular international at an upcoming nation. It’s more than likely he’ll go to Qatar, even more so if he moves to us.

We can’t afford those proven signings to a requisite level that is going to improve us. Look at the fees and wages Forest are paying for their premier league punts. Until we have our very own (alleged) drug kingpin bankrolling the club we have to hope enough of these punts will come off one day for us to scrape 17th before not enough come off to move us to championship mid table mediocrity.

Alas, somebody with some sense

Just curious, is Webber under a mountain of pressure or under mounting pressure?  😂

He was recently mounting a mountain to escape the mounting mountain of pressure.

Was PLMs transfer a total shock to the club I wonder? When it was announced I wasn’t fussed as I was sure we would have someone lined up straight away and was expecting a deal announced early week. It now Wednesday and the chances of having someone in for Cardiff look pretty slim. With the two injured signings and the vacant PLM slot we really aren’t starting the season well midfield wise, it’s Kenny plus Lungi then.

Probably in a sense of that somebody actually came in for him..They obviously knew he wanted to go and at that sort of price I'm sure they believe they can do better. 

Sorensen, McLean and deeper than usual Todd Cantwell is the 3 I'm predicting, 

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,294]

Timmy Krul on his way if true?

From some random blue tick european account. More the case that McGovern would be ready to step into full time coaching anyway.

[Branston Pickle 3,656]

Just seen that Gerrard might be looking to let El Ghazi go on loan, as there’s not been much interest in sides going for him on a permanent.  We were (probably lazily) linked with him when Smith started here, but he might not be a bad shout.

[Mason 47 1,377]

Forest now hard on the trail of William Carvalho apparently, who we were heavily linked to last summer. Be interesting to see how he fares if so, likely better than Gilmour did at any rate

He probably could do better than us, but he'd be a cracking signing if we could get him.

I think they just decided to sell as they got a reasonable offer. There seems to be little strategic planning involved with our “outs” this summer. I suspect he was still firmly in our plans two weeks ago.

He runs about as fast as most people walk, but no doubt a very solid signing if they pull it off

That's actually quite interesting as I'm sure Michael Bailey said we could also be looking at a winger as well as a CM, which is the first we had been told of looking at that position this summer. It's possible this is who it could be as it's a loan.

[KeiranShikari 1,410]

Would be a very good signing. Far better than relying on Onel Hernandez if Sargent gets injured.

[Terminally Yellow 2,448]

Would just like to point out that back on June 26th, I posted on the Ins and Outs thread El Ghazi would be a player I tried to bring in on loan. 

Think he'd be a great signing.
