Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[123EasyasBFC]

What's the latest re John Egan?imo a good squad player.

Word was that he was absolutely miles off the level when training with us

[NewClaret]

There’s still McNally, Obafemi, Weghorst, Delcroix, Ekdal, Al-Dakhil, Egan-Riley and Tresor that we could sell (or loan).

Of them I’d like to keep AAD for sure.

Can’t see Tresor being sold after illness/injury. Or loaned really.

I reckon we might keep hold of CJER given he’s home grown (I think).

[ksrclaret]

I hope there’s a plan to bring in a couple more home grown players now.

[Ric_C]

Also I'd add that depending on the opposition, the number 10 role could be a deeper lying number 8, so in this case, Brownhill or JBG could fill this role, as well as Amdouni

[alwaysaclaret]

Kompany 11-12m
Muric 10-15m
Odobert 30m
Twine 3.5m
BPF 500k

£55-61m there so far.

Vigouroux
Churlinov
Bastien
Costello
Have also gone but not sure if the latter was loan or permanent, and did pick up an injury with accy Stanley.
All the wages off the bill also, not sure if I've read somewhere that kompany alone was on £100k, yes ridiculous, but sure I've read it.

[Holtyclaret]

No idea and I think this is the problem; will other players now feel they are owed moves if offers come in?

Hoping we had a strategy around it anyway. Although I loved Odobert and don’t really believe the fee is that great for him when Olise is going for double (I think we’d have got more in a few years, anyway) - I can accept if he’s playing in the 10 we’re stacked there.

Amdouni likely gets the not but neither he or JBG are going to make the run like Odobert did for the Luton goal. I do think selling may end up putting us in a worse financial position if it puts promotion at risk but think we can handle selling Odobert if he’s the main sale.

You do know the windows still open for incomings too?

There’s a couple more bigger names and a few more lesser lights to leave yet.

[jojomk1]

What would be the point of keeping Egan-Riley

Home grown or not, he is very unlikely to feature at first team level

Another wage that needs to come off the books

[123EasyasBFC]

I hope there’s a plan to bring in a couple more home grown players now.

Aye would be pretty silly to not have a plan to bring any players in wouldn’t it

[Row x]

Julien Vetro mentioned in France as possibly coming

Just seen that. One from the 300k cut down to 20-30k players we scout

[Colburn_Claret]

Interesting point, I've no idea how much SP is on, but your gut says he will be on a lot less than VK.

[NewClaret]

Yes I do but there are also zero links with other players and if we do sign players we are not going to be replacing them with the quality of Berge, O’Shea, Weghorst, for instance.

[NewClaret]

Really highly rated at City, good loan at Hibernian by all accounts, still very young, can play a few positions.

My final point will be I think we need to have one eye on the scenario of not getting promoted where we will have a lot of outgoings. Good young English prospects might be very welcomed then.

[123EasyasBFC]

Makes you laugh how kompany royally messed last season up with his awful tactics, the squad of players we had should of comfortably stayed up and the links to clubs show it

[Silkyskills1]

What's the latest re John Egan?imo a good squad player.

Agree.

[Silkyskills1]

Word was that he was absolutely miles off the level when training with us

Understandable looking at his age.

[Holtyclaret]

Yes I do but there are also zero links with other players and if we do sign players we are not going to be replacing them with the quality of Berge, O’Shea, Weghorst, for instance.

There won’t be links as we’ve no one to replace yet surely?

They’ll be incomings to replace bigger names/holes in squad. Nothing to say they won’t be better or equivalent to what leaves and nothing to say we don’t have contingencies lined up to cover potential outgoings.

Grab a cold one and watch things pan out, it’ll be a busy couple of weeks.

Toon back in for Traff?

Toon back in for Traff?

https://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-unit ... ugh-coming

If selling Trafford along with Odobert means we get to keep O'Shea, Esteves, Koleosho and Berge then that's a good bit of business.

[123EasyasBFC]

Toon back in for Traff?

https://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-unit ... ugh-coming

25m + 5m in add ons for Trafford to please and then get travers from Bournemouth

[Spijed]

Wonder if we could sell Trafford for cash + Pope?



Likewise get rid of O'Shea for cash + Mee

[Row Z]

Benson linked with Leeds - https://www.footballinsider247.com/leed ... n-orourke/

Don’t see us sanctioning that unless Parker doesn’t think he’s robust enough to contribute this season and Leeds are offering us silly money.

The only way of selling to Leeds would have to be for silly money, if they are getting best part of 65m for two of their attacking players, they can give us 20m for benson

I don't mind it.
Bring in younger and better.

It was mean't to be tongue in cheek, hence the smiley

It says exclusive, but there was an article the other day about the same thing. It's just a rehash of what was said before.

[wilks_bfc]

As much as I like Mee, we should not even consider him as a replacement for O’Shea

Also being linked with Jack Clarke from Sunderland which would make more sense if as a replacement for Summerville as he’s a a right footer that plays on the left, as did Summerville

Brentford want O'Shea as back up, which explains their lowball offer.

[BB4Claret]

Swiss media outlet Blik reporting that we’re trying to shift out Amdouni.

Little bit speculative, but here you go..

https://www.blick.ch/sport/bei-burnley- ... 35947.html

On Amdouni, this post from earlier in the week.

We might actually be trying to shift him on because he’s made it clear that he doesn’t really want to play in the Championship. At the bottom of the article is an interview with him. When questioned about his future, now that we’ve been relegated, he says, “I’m under contract, so I’ll stay if I have to, but I have my own objectives.” - It sounds as though he wants away, but nobody is coming in for him.

[Woodleyclaret]

Zeki is a class player who needs decent service and will benefit now we have players who will play quickly to feet.

[123EasyasBFC]

My oldest just said Bruun Larsen just started following the new assistant Hendrik Jensen on instagram, now I know they are both danish but a coincidence

[burnley007]

That would be excellent business. Do it Burnley.

[Stonehouse]

Think he did ok for us but lacks the pace of Odebert or Koleosho

[I_hate_pne]

I believe he's playing for Hoffenheim tonight in the German cup.

[morninbob]

I don't know, he's pretty rapid.

[morninbob]

Started, played 78 minutes.

[123EasyasBFC]

Keeping him match fit for us

[BB4Claret]

Zeki is a class player who needs decent service and will benefit now we have players who will play quickly to feet.

No doubt he is, but his words suggest that he see himself playing at a higher level than the Championship. Take a look and listen tot the video clip at the bottom of the linked article in Greenwood's post from Wednesday.

[kentonclaret]

Transfer windows are far more depressing when you are just logging in to see which player(s) has left the building rather than getting news of any prospective incomings.

[claretspice]

Decent day today I think. Couple of players who were always likely to leave for differing reasons moved out for good money.

I'd like us to keep Amdouni and I'm certainly someone who believes that whilst he struggled last season in the Premier League - including with his workrate and movement at times - a year in the Championship could make him, and he could be a huge asset (a little like Rutter at Leeds who is not a wholly dissimilar player). However, there is a bit of a question mark over his commitment (the fact he was left out on fitness grounds last week when Weghorst, whose involvement in the Euros lasted 3 days longer, was involved, was a little odd) and it'll be interesting to see if he's involved tomorrow. If he is, a front line of Foster, Amdouni behind, Koleosho and any of our other wide options is pretty compelling at this level.

[Pearcey]

Weghorst’s agent has said there’s a high chance that Wout’s leaving.

[123EasyasBFC]

Good, get some money back rather than having him for a year on the bench and then leaving for free

[burnley007]

I believe he's on 50k per week, which makes it even more important that he goes.

[RVclaret]

Was all in French when I played it inc subtitles. All I’d say is that it’s unsurprising he sees himself higher than Championship, he was joint top scorer in the Conference League the season before last, and one of the top scorers in Euros Qualifiers. It didn’t work out in the Prem and I’m not sure he’s got the intensity for it, Bundesliga or somewhere like that could be better. Though i’d add this interview was before meeting back up with the team and Parker so things may have changed. I guess it will be telling if he’s in the squad tomorrow.

Odobert was involved for 90 minutes on Monday but he was still out of the door come Friday.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Odobert was professional about the situation , signed off in style and can hold his head high on the back of it.

Others should follow suit. I’d go as far as saying Weghorst coming on at Luton shows his professional side also which Parker alluded to.

[123EasyasBFC]

Really hope Odobert moving on, doesn’t spark other players thinking they should also push for a move and we end up losing too many

[bobinho]

And how do we afford Pope and Mee’s PL wages?

More importantly, why would we consider bringing Mee back at all?
