Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[AGENT_CLARET]

Not seen one so I thought I'd kick one off, here start's the fun and disagreements

Not a rumour but if we lose one of our keepers I'd like us to go for Rotherham keeper Viktor Johansson

[boatshed bill]

I'm a big fan of Cooper at Plymouth.
i have lots of mates who are Argyle fans and they really rate him.
Seen him a few times, looked very assured.

[TsarBomba]

Not sure how realistic it is, but Adam Lallana would be a great addition. Need to replace some of the experience we are losing.

Good young keeper but I think his price would be a problem, the Rotherham keeper is avaliable for 900k on a release clause after relegation

[colne-claret]

Well it sounds like that Sambo from PSV is a done deal

wouldnt rule this one out...

Burnley born Oliver Norwood is being released by Sheff Utd 33 year's old and full of experience don't think we'd go for him but he'd have plenty of takers in the championship

[Woodleyclaret]

Oli Norwood on a free
Very good deadball specialist

You must of read my mind

[Silkyskills1]

Lallana is 36 now. No thanks.

Surprised at that, one of their players I often thought meant danger. Like him as a hard working player, contract length may prevent it.

[elwaclaret]

Lallana is 36 now. No thanks.

He may but a very clever and articulate lad. Wouldn’t expect him to be a regular starter but would be good around the place with a view to joining the coaching staff and a move back to the North West may well suit him.

[zippybid]

Weak links to Ian Poveda.

[boatshed bill]

We already have the experienced Redmond.

[Neil]

Think there will be more interest and activity in the outgoing department this time round.
With the squad being trimmed I think there will only be a few incomings - probably wingers

Reading between the lines of his exit message, sounded like his family stayed in the North West and he is wanting a move for family reasons. Grezza was a similar age when he signed for us in 2007 and that didn't turn out too badly!

If Lallana could sit in front of the back four and defend from that position, plus take a really good penalty, plus be available every week, I'd be all for signing him.
Oh, and take a substantial wage cut.

[Nonayforever]

I think we may only see 3 or 4 coming in with a dozen or so going out.
The obvious position of wing backs being the incoming players.

[bumba]

Lallana would still be better than Brownhill in our setup at championship level if we have as much possession as last time.
If we lose all our experience we need to sign some because it doesn't matter how good these youngsters are they need some guidance, plain and simple

[Newcastleclaret93]

I would sign Lallana just for his interview with Talksport a few months back.

He’s a leader and incredibly smart, he certainly fits the mould of the type of player we need

[Goliath]

I'd take Welbeck if he's not signed a new deal. Very underrated player.

[NewClaret]

I think we’ll be surprised.

If that interview with Stuart Hunt is to be believed, we’re looking at buying clubs so our players can get game time. If that happened before the end of the window, we’d have homes for a lot that means they might not leave.

I think our view on strategy of the club is different to ALK’s.

[NewClaret]

Priorities for me are keeping our core together that’ve looked capable in the PL else you have to question what the point is.

Keep Muric, Esteve, O’Shea, Cullen, Berge, Odobert and Foster and sign a left back and I’ll be happy!

[claretspice]

I'd take Welbeck if he's not signed a new deal. Very underrated player.

Welbeck has signed a deal at Brighton.

Generally I think we need to be looking at players who add a bit of stature to our team but I'd make an exception for Lallana. He's exactly the sort of leader and standards setter that the squad needs. And if he looking to move back to the North West then actually it's a pretty realistic option.

[Woodleyclaret]

Brunn Larsen being tracked by WHU and Ipswich we need to sort out his deal quick time we don't want another Tella fiasco

Was a brilliant interview and when lallana came on at the turf it was actually his pressing straight away that I think put some doubt into muric which then lead to the error

[taio]

Lallana has been explicit that he wants to be near to family so based on that I wouldn't have thought there'd be any possibility whatsoever he'd come to us. I don't think the club would be interested in signing him anyway.

[NewClaret]

Not surprised at all. Really hope we have the option even in the event of relegation.

[Silkyskills1]

I'm not concerned about the coaching staff in the future .

Pretty sure his family is north west based? I’ve seen that mentioned online before

[warksclaret]

If we are to believe AP and VK that the progress starts now then our fringe players need to be sold or moved on quickly and we need to reinvest in quality players who after 12 months (hopefully) in the Championship can handle the Prem

Start with the spine and sell or move on loan Al Dakhill, Beyer (as he wants to go), Delcroix, McNally and get in Jacob Greaves of Hull. He is a proper centre half. Just won Hull City player of the year and made Championship team of 1923-24. He could do a job and have a good future value

[Woodleyclaret]

Owen Dodgson has done well on loan at Dundee
Two more assists tonight's.I hope he's been considered for next season we need muscle and guile in midfield.I think his time in the kickers league will have done wonders for his development

[Silkyskills1]

Lallana's always had better players around him than he will next season. Plenty of clubs in the north west to make him feel at home. Playing for my club has to be the ultimate priority.

[taio]

I read his family live in Bournemouth

[elwaclaret]

Manchester. An interesting documentary a couple of years back, his dad is high up in Manchester Free Masons.

[elwaclaret]

I read his family live in Bournemouth

(See above) Unless they moved, since of course

[CharlieinNewMexico]

I’d take any of Ipswich’s loans next year if they don’t secure deals. Sarmiento, Omari Hutchinson or even Kieffer Moore. We definitely need a proven goalscorer

[123EasyasBFC]

I’d like us to get whatever we can for obafemi and try to get stansfield on loan from Fulham, had a good season in a poor Birmingham side

[taio]

"All my family still live in Bournemouth, so I work it between the two."

Lallana

[Claretnick]

I read his family live in Bournemouth

He has said in his reasoning for leaving, that he has been away from his family for long periods during his 4 years at Brighton.
Maybe we are guessing as to his meaning...

Isnt he a Left Back ?

I think it's pretty clear what he means from that link

Played a mixture of CB and LB this season

Bloody hell how old is he??

[warksclaret]

Bloody hell how old is he??

Wikidpedia show him as a veteran.D id I really write that-add on 100 years

[NewClaret]

Bloody hell how old is he??

How fast is he? That’s the question, because I can tell you now, VK will not be signing any CB’s that aren’t absolutely rapid.

[boatshed bill]

We don't need centre-backs.
One really good striker is about all we need.

[Vegas Claret]

I think we may only see 3 or 4 coming in with a dozen or so going out.

per day ?

[CharlieinNewMexico]

Not saying we’re signing a lot but Sascha’s booked himself into The Talbot for a month.
