Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[willsclarets]

What about the Wout / Amdouni / McNally and Viti money, all have left or are extremely likely to leave yesterday or today? I know we don't get it all up front, but is guaranteed revenue into BFC.

Yeah you'd think that'd be enough, as I said it's speculation. Given the players we've sold and the willingness to see them go, plus the loan-to-buy offers we're submitting all over the place, my instinct says the cashflow isn't altogether healthy. A big cash offer for Trafford, and perhaps that changes our window a bit last minute. We're all a bit in the dark though

[mybloodisclaret]

How long have we got for players being able to play tomorrow? an hour?

Yes. In fairness..... deals can be completed this AM (Sarmiento ) and not announced until later and still play tomorrow. Needs to be done by 12 though.

Noon I believe.

[TsarBomba]

SSN is such a tough watch on Deadline Day nowadays.

I find these YouTubers really hard to sit and listen to. I found Jim White annoying but it was much better than this.

SSN is just a tough watch in general now.

I used to have it on in the background throughout the day and watch it on and off, now I can barely last 20 minutes.

From a Plymouth fan site.
Verdict: This is probably exactly what we all feared. With the hours ticking down at the end of this transfer window, it is being reported that a deal which would see Morgan Whittaker head to Burnley has advanced, with a fee supposedly being agreed between the two sides.

The report surfaced this morning from Pete O’Rourke in Football Insider. Many have taken comfort from the fact that O’Rourke hasn’t been particularly accurate with his reporting on Argyle this summer. And that’s a fair assessment, but the tone here is very different. Rather than suggested “talks have opened,” or that a club are “weighing up a move,” O’Rourke explicitly states here that “a transfer is now expected to go through.”

There have been no details on the value of such a bid, nor any confirmation as to whether this is the culmination of the “loan with an obligation to buy” offer that was mooted yesterday. Clearly, without a frankly astronomical fee being agreed this would be seen as a disappointing deal, particularly given the interest Argyle knocked back for the player in January.

I’m now very much of the view that this deal is more likely than not to progress. It’s not certain, and O’Rourke’s record does work against him, but this appears to be at an advanced stage. If the transfer does indeed come off, Argyle will have plenty of explaining (and plenty of business) to do.

Rumour rating (/5): ★★★★

[willsclarets]

How long have we got for players being able to play tomorrow? an hour?

yup, midday. I guess one could sign before that deadline but not be announced before this afternoon/evening

Please lord, let this be right

[The Shire Claret]

How long have we got for players being able to play tomorrow? an hour?

Yes but i assume that players that might have already signed ... wont be revealed till after the deadline

Don't mean they can't play

[mybloodisclaret]

yup, midday. I guess one could sign before that deadline but not be announced before this afternoon/evening

Even better, don't announce it and just bang him in the team for tomorrow, another unknown problem for neighbours. Hoping that is what is happening with Cullen and Koleosho. With those in the team we are a completely different beast.

[TsarBomba]

McNally gone permanently.

[sound and vision]

Has there been a single genuinely reputable source tha's reported that Foster is agitating for a move, or is it all the usual utc cack we're going off?..

Went straight down the tunnel...that kind of empty-headed bilge.

Definitely the usual cack!

There could be a few reasons why he went straight down the tunnel - maybe as simple as he was desperate for the loo!

[kentonclaret]

A goal scoring striker isn’t vital if you can get your goals from other areas. Barnes only scored 6 goals in our title winning year under Kompany.

Tella scored 17 with 5 assists.

You would be looking for a player to score at least that many in a season to be challenging at the top end of the table.

[willsclarets]

Looks like Tresor to Nice is going to happen

[Conroysleftfoot]

I know we all want to beat that lot tomorrow but we must remember that we still have 42 league games left after Saturday. We have until 11 tonight to get reinforcements in that will help us be in the fight for the top places in this league.

[willsclarets]

Jordan Lotomba being linked from L'Equipe. RB at Nice in last year of his contract

[D8BFC]

Interesting that McNally was going to be a loan but turned into a permanent “cash” move.

I wonder why we needed some quick cash all of a sudden??

[Tall Paul]

Tella scored 17 with 5 assists.

Nobody scored that many for Ipswich last season

[ervi34]

Looks like Tresor to Nice is going to happen

Ah, so he's not going to be "like a new signing"... Good riddance.

[The Shire Claret]

I think we may need to stop looking too far into these loan to buy options ....

It's got to be to do with the FFP and playing it best we can

there is no way we have zero cash flow or no access to cash if it's needed.

These guys like it or not live in this world finacially so they must know what they are doing

UTC

[BigGaz]

I know that a lot of this has been called already but no harm in repeating:

- Sarmiento and Laurent are done and available for tomorrow. (Transfer wise, not sure about fitness)
- Whittaker is a goer and progressing.

[Pickles]

Whittaker in time for tomorrow would be a boost.

[RVclaret]

Interesting that McNally was going to be a loan but turned into a permanent “cash” move.

Or Pete o’rourke talks crap and it was never a loan.

[1989_claret]

Rumours from X or inside info on Whittaker?

[claretburns]

Whittaker in time for tomorrow would be a boost.

I think he'll be coming but don't see any chance it being done in time for him to play tomorrow.

[Pickles]

I think he'll be coming but don't see any chance it being done in time for him to play tomorrow.

Agreed. Isn't the cut off in about forty minutes?

[TsarBomba]

Jordan Lotomba being linked from L'Equipe. RB at Nice in last year of his contract

Imagine that’s possibly linked in with Tresor. Perhaps a p/ex and cash offer.

[mdd2]

If Sarmiento and Laurent signed then we are full at 25 IMO so more to leave if more coming in unless as i stated before any of our 3 long term injured (Bayer Redmond and Ekdal) are left out of the 25

[mdd2]

I wonder if part exchange how much we will have to pay.

[123EasyasBFC]

If Sarmiento and Laurent signed then we are full at 25 IMO so more to leave if more coming in unless as i stated before any of our 3 long term injured (Bayer Redmond and Ekdal) are left out of the 25

If you take McNally out now and Vitinho and Tresor we are at 22 players so we can register 3 more

U21s
Egan-Riley
Dodgson
Hannibal
Ramsey
Ageyi
Koleosho

[BigGaz]

Rumours from X or inside info on Whittaker?

Better source than journalists on X, not quite as good as sources internal to BFC.

[Rileybobs]

I know we all want to beat that lot tomorrow but we must remember that we still have 42 league games left after Saturday. We have until 11 tonight to get reinforcements in that will help us be in the fight for the top places in this league.

Exactly. It was almost certain that any signings made today would not feature against Rovers anyway. The important thing is to get the players in before the deadline - and not lose any more key players.

[mybloodisclaret]

Interesting that McNally was going to be a loan but turned into a permanent “cash” move.

I wonder why we needed some quick cash all of a sudden??

Bristol brought 5 mill in for that Scottish kid we were after ended up going Sheff U.

They paid cash for Twine

[Rileybobs]

I suspect things have tightened up around the club and Longside claret is being cautious about what he leaks.

[burnley007]

Jordan Lotomba being linked from L'Equipe. RB at Nice in last year of his contract

He would be a very good signing.

[BigGaz]

WHU properly hawking Ings out also, they want his wages off the bill and willing to contribute. Don't think it will make a difference to us but don't be surprised to see him turn up in the champ or old firm

[SirBob]

People keep mentioning Vitinho leaving? Where’s he off too I’ve not seen any links

[willsclarets]

He would be a very good signing.

Don't know much about him but decent pedigree. I'm also not completely sold on either of our fullbacks tbh! Not saying either Roberts or Pires are bad players, far from it I'm being picky. But a quality fullback on either side wouldn't go amiss

[bfcmatt]

People keep mentioning Vitinho leaving? Where’s he off too I’ve not seen any links

Botafogo in Brazil

[1989_claret]

People keep mentioning Vitinho leaving? Where’s he off too I’ve not seen any links

Botafogo apparently

[TheFamilyCat]

yup, midday. I guess one could sign before that deadline but not be announced before this afternoon/evening

I reckon announcing three new signings, all eligible to play tomorrow, an hour before kick off would really throw the bastards.

[mdd2]

If you take McNally out now and Vitinho and Tresor we are at 22 players so we can register 3 more

U21s
Egan-Riley
Dodgson
Hannibal
Ramsey
Ageyi
Koleosho

I make it 23 but you may be right-currently 25 if the two signings mentioned have signed and neither under 21 on 1/1/24

[Row x]

More likely the person telling him is being cautious

[mybloodisclaret]

Jordan Lotomba being linked from L'Equipe. RB at Nice in last year of his contract

La La La La La La LOTOMBA

[Safron]

I think it's turning into a positive window and all the players pulling in the same direction will do us a world of good utc

[JimmyRobbo]

I think Lotomba would be an excellent signing but I would be surprised if it really was happening.

[gandhisflipflop]

IF (and it’s a big IF) these deals happen. Some posters will be owing a big apology after the last few weeks

[ElectroClaret]

Do we know if Plymouth have signed any additional strikers?
If they have, that might mean the Whittaker deal is still a goer. If not, they're not going to be able to get someone in to replace him, unless theyve someone lined up, so it's probably dead in the water.

To get him and make it happen, we're going to have to pay what Plymouth want.

[scouseclaret]

This really is fncking exhausting isn't it??!!

[Swizzlestick]

IF (and it’s a big IF) these deals happen. Some posters will be owing a big apology after the last few weeks

An apology to who?

It's still been an absolute mess of a window, regardless of what happens in the next 12 hours or so.

[1989_claret]

IF (and it’s a big IF) these deals happen. Some posters will be owing a big apology after the last few weeks

Not really. It's been pretty scary seeing how bad we were last Saturday, the exposure of our Academy Director's messages and then your whole squad torn apart plus incomings a couple of days before the window shuts.
