Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

Don’t know if it means much but Whittaker wasn’t in the Plymouth squad last night

[BigGaz]

What position do you think he should play? Wasn’t much cop out wide.

In fairness I think (at this moment) the PL is above his paygrade and he wasn't playing in a brilliant team.

But I do reckon out wide might as an inside forward kind of role rather than a winger might suit him. To me he seems a stronger runner with the ball at his feet and is great at carrying the team up the pitch 50-60 yards.

He isnt great at holding the ball up and I don't recall thinking 'that's a really clever run' like you see from the most adept sniffers.

[Murger]

Don’t know much about Whittaker. But hasn’t someone on here described him as Ollie Watkins-esque?

[Dark Cloud]

Several seasons ago Billing looked absolutely excellent on the Turf playing for Udders and I'd have been more than happy for us to have nicked him before he moved to Bournemouth and carried it on. My worry now is we're 2 years too late and he could be this season's Nathan Redmond. If he really has still got it, he'd be a great signing, but I'm not sure.

He’s 28. Should be in his prime years.

[The Shire Claret]

Never Heard of this Whittaker bloke but sounds like a good un - I shall have a look on Youtube and see what hes about !

[Dark Cloud]

Fair enough. I hadn't checked and because he seems to have been around quite a while I felt he must be older.

[kentonclaret]

His most prolific scoring spell for Plymouth coincided with Finn Azaz still being at the club who provided numerous assists. Azaz left for Middlesbrough in January 2024.

[Ragnar]

I think he’s 23

[HahaYeah]

Morgan Whittaker.

[Woodleyclaret]

I .mentioned Morgan Whittaker at the start of the window as being very similar to Ollie Watkins and one we should snap up
This would be a excellent signing and throwing in Obafemi may just clinch the deal

[123EasyasBFC]

Interesting that it’s only Romano reporting Whittaker, there’s no a single uk journo reporting it

[Papabendi]

Morgan Whittaker.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0O9xni6zJQ&t=52s

scores all kinds of goals - from screamers to taps ins.

[Ric_C]

Apologies if I've missed it but is Delcroix injured? Not heard any links away for him. Looking at the squad it would probably be a good idea to keep him around.

One of the stragically placed rumours to catch the moles?

Based on the WhatsApp leaks, it sounds like that wouldn’t be a good idea!

[Cooclaret]

No. It’s straight.

[123EasyasBFC]

What you don’t think there’s been an actual bid

[BigGaz]

Not hard to imagine that Romano has a price list. There are lots of influencers that will shill a certain product for a price.

Club X wants to unsettle Y player - Can you do a tweet fab? £2500 please and it's done.

Agent A wants player B moved on - Can you do a tweet fab? £2500 please and it's done.

Shady ******* F wants the market to move on betting site G - Can you do a tweet fab? £2500 please and it's done.

It stinks.

[brazilianclaret]

One of the stragically placed rumours to catch the moles?

Hopefully not, would be a great signing and statement of intent

Still young, home grown, versatile, pace, 6ft - £10m quoted to rangers, yes please

[Row x]

Haven't a clue, just replying to someone

He looked alright as he lobbed Trafford from a mile out last season.

I don’t hold too many hopes for incoming players. Think weve left it too late, unless there is some magic happening in the back ground.

[123EasyasBFC]

By your reply, I’m assuming you think it’s just a fake rumour but out by the club to see who it gets to, by saying ‘catching moles’

[kentonclaret]

Being reported by Football League World but haven’t a clue as to their authenticity or reliability.

They're garbage and make things up / recycle things from other journos - in this case Romano

[agreenwood]

Don't follow any pundits but intrigued by this Sacha bloke. All I know about him is what I read on here. He appears to have knowledge about deals (sometimes to a forensic level) that he shouldn't have. This leads me to the thought that he is hand in glove with agents and possibly some clubs. If so he is a very dangerous character to have around football. Some info will be true leaked to help his credibility but others, as some have suggested, to manipulate the market. I may be alone but I think the football authorities should be checking up on him and some others.

The interesting thing is that these stories appears absolutely nowhere else, even 24 hours later.

If Foster really was on the verge of a £25m move to Ipswich, wouldn’t a journalist have picked up on it by now?

[Vegas Claret]

Plymouth fans seem to think he's a bit lazy, most think 10 is a fair price and Swansea have a 20% slice too. One post reckons we've bid 6.75 + add ons which I agree is too low

It's a bloody question, I don't know. it was a possible scenario posted on here earlier.

[Commy]

Whittaker scored a cracker at QPR last weekend. Had quite a good game with some good passes through the lines.

[Vegas Claret]

[Vegas Claret]

I really don't see Foster going to Ipswich, they've signed Ogbene from Luton

Should fit in well with Benson and a few others, if they are still here .

They also think that selling him means certain relegation.

[BurnleyFC]

As well as Ogbene?

Just seen the edit. I thought they’d gone even more batshit crazy then!

They aren’t the same position?

Plymouth reject Burnley offer for Whittaker
Latest from Sky Sports News' Mark McAdam & Alan Myers:

Burnley have seen an offer for Plymouth for Morgan Whittaker rejected.

The Clarets' offer fell short of Plymouth’s valuation of the forward.

[Sapperclaret73]

Reported loan with option to buy. We must be skint.

Apparently loan with option to buy if promoted, says Andy Jones.
Embarrassing if true

[Vegas Claret]

yeah I got them mixed up

[RVclaret]

We must be genuinely skint if that’s what we’re offering?

[ervi34]

How stupid can we be? Embarassing offer.

[123EasyasBFC]

We have no money this summer if we are trying that, why am earth would Plymouth ever do that deal

[Vegas Claret]

They aren’t the same position?

yeah but Ipswich must have about 700 players now

[jedi_master]

Everything we’re doing both in and out speaks to big cash flow problems. Hannibal yes, permanent but heavily incentivised in Utd’s favour, Humphreys, Anthony, Sarmiento and now Whittaker all attempted as loans…

Like Plymouth would ever go for such an insulting offer.

[RicardoMontalban]

Mike Garlick has joined the game

[morninbob]

We can forget about billing...
https://x.com/MirrorAnderson/status/182 ... EPLlw&s=19

[Greekclaret]

Issue is as we all know. You sell as many players as we have for the amount of money we have and smaller clubs like Plymouth will want majority of the money upfront. Certainly aren’t interested in loans with options based upon promotion

[KefkaClaret]

A loan with an option to buy? 0 chance that was getting accepted. Sounds like we are skint.

[kentonclaret]

Alan Pace reportedly pulled two rabbits out of the hat but immediately sold them to the local butcher.

[123EasyasBFC]

Burnley were back for about an hour, now we are bang in trouble again
