Summer 2024 Transfer Window Discussion - Rumours and Links welcome

[123EasyasBFC]

Berge to Fulham has moved quickly and should get done. Replacement already identified.

Anymore on the potential winger if benson leaves? With them having recent championship experience I think could be Sarmiento from Brighton, he’s home grown to and just feels like an AlK signing

[agreenwood]

So he’ll be failing that , unless the Parker has been lying

Medicals aren’t there to halt deals over minor injures.

[RVclaret]

I can’t say mate but what I will say is when I posted earlier that I’d been unimpressed by the supposed replacements I didn’t know this one.

I think people will be happy. I am.

Is it something imminent?

[Pearcey]

Decent profit for Berge to be fair. He obviously didn’t want to drop to the championship again at his age. Shame though as he’s class. Odobert not even in the Spurs squad tonight! Don’t think Berge will have that problem.

[NewClaret]

Don’t know.

Funny hair and asked to leave Man U by any chance?

Try telling that to Charlie Austin

Work permit renewal delays for Odobert apparently.

[AGENT_CLARET]

I'm hoping its 20 + 5 guaranteed plus add ons similar to the Odobert deal?

We shouldn't be accepting less than 25m guaranteed IMO

After paying Sheff Utd a sell on fee there's not a lot of overall profit left to bring in a decent replacement

Work permit hasn’t come through for Odobert. I’m sure he’ll be in the matchday squad soon.

Waiting for permit

[agreenwood]

He had a knee issue.

[taio]

So you've found out the replacement in the last couple of hours? Is he currently at a Premier League or Championship club?

[Pearcey]

Work permit hasn’t come through for Odobert. I’m sure he’ll be in the matchday squad soon.

Ah fair one. Thought they said on Sky that he was eligible. Was looking forward to seeing him.

[Casper2]

He had a knee issue.

Was it a major injury?

[Denno97]

Any clues LC ?

Wild stab at Philip Billing. Similar profile and worked with Parker at Bournemouth

[agreenwood]

Was it a major injury?

No, but I’m sure I read it was a longstanding issue.

[Ptgclaret]

Was it a major injury?

It was according to Steve Bruce

[KefkaClaret]

Gutted about Berge but I understand.

[Fretters]

Funny hair and asked to leave Man U by any chance?

Who?

[123EasyasBFC]

Wild stab at Philip Billing. Similar profile and worked with Parker at Bournemouth

Billing is a key player for Bournemouth

[burnley007]

He's 28. Doesn't seem to fit the profile.
But you never know

Good shout that one been up north before as well at Huddersfield.

[Casper2]

No, but I’m sure I read it was a longstanding issue.

He’s still playing with his longstanding knee issue

[Paddy1882]

Who?

Hannibal who had a loan at Birmingham. Asked to leave last week for first team football. Not a clue if it is him like.

[Oldparkwood]

Please god no! It's the equivalent of losing a leg and replacing it with a false one

[NewClaret]

So you've found out the replacement in the last couple of hours? Is he currently at a Premier League or Championship club?

Yes.

Premier League.

I’ve watched us play against him before and always thought he looked excellent. Might I say a younger, more energetic Sander when I’ve seen him play. I am quite excited about that one, good business.

[AGENT_CLARET]

He's 28. Doesn't seem to fit the profile.
But you never know

Valued at 20m plus so I doubt it

[Burnley1989]

Just been listening to Sundays FTBHE Podcast.

They were talking about Massengo being a natural replacement. I think he could, he's definitely too good to be ignored, and if Berge stays unlikely to improve while sat on the bench. A season in the championship and we could be saying Sander who?

Tongue in cheek, but after all his experience at Bristol, this is his time.

I'd still hold out for 30 mill for Berge. 20 plus 5 for add ons, could end up being 20. That would be a massive waste of money.

Must be on my own with this one but I really cant understand the hype with Massengo, I've seen every minute he's played for us and nothing has jumped out at me.
He might well be great but I just don't know what this is being based on so far?

[burnley007]

This makes sense to me. Only 21.

Definitely leaving Manure this summer. Played at this level.
Rough diamond

[ClaretTony]

So he’ll be failing that , unless the Parker has been lying

Medicals and injuries are two different things. He has been injured and unable to play in the first two games.

[agreenwood]

He’s still playing with his longstanding knee issue

Lots of footballers play for years with pretty significant injuries that even prevent them training. Ledley King did.

It’s up to the buying club whether they want to take the risk.

Back to the original point. It’s perfectly possible they Berge passes a medical tomorrow with his minor injury, because Fulham won’t be overly concerned about it biting them on the arse after they’ve forked out £20m+ for him.

I suspect you know all this tho.

[burnley007]

I'll be gutted to see Berge leave, especially for anything less than £30m.

He is Premier League class.

[123EasyasBFC]

Yes.

Premier League.

I’ve watched us play against him before and always thought he looked excellent. Might I say a younger, more energetic Sander when I’ve seen him play. I am quite excited about that one, good business.

Someone get a list of all the 6ft 4 cms in the prem under 25

[Vegas Claret]

Hannibal, that the lad who can't stay on his feet and should have been sent off against us for an atrocious tackle ?

[Boss Hogg]

We definitely need a decent replacement in CM for Berge. Don’t mind Trafford or Weghorst being sold but if we sell others that are currently in the team the board are just looking at cash with scant regard for the team. Still think they are a bit naive when comes to what happens on the pitch. The first two results might not have helped in this and lulled them into a false sense of security.

[RVclaret]

Yes.

Premier League.

Hannibal?

[Goalposts]

Yep Fulham 20m plus 5m add one fair enough and wish him well

[Stonehouse]

Hannibal wouldn’t be an incoming I’d be impressed with,didn’t rate him much on the Turf.

[NewClaret]

Someone get a list of all the 6ft 4 cms in the prem under 25

[Hedontplayforyou]

Massengo looks liKe a natural replacement for Brownhill to me more than anything when that time comes. He’s an engine and a ball winner.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Hanibal loan to buy from man united

[Hedontplayforyou]

Hannibal is very feisty . I’m not entirely sure what his game is, the main focus on him when I’ve seen him is trying not to be sent off

[RVclaret]

Hannibal, that the lad who can't stay on his feet and should have been sent off against us for an atrocious tackle ?

He’s a talent. Incredible energy.

[Goalposts]

I often wonder whether Breyer could step up to midfield or just in front of a back four..

[LongsideClaret]

Expecting quite a bit of activity to happen this week. In both directions.

Chelsea lad is a done deal. Another centre half with experience (good at this level) is lined up in case O’Shea goes. McNally will go before the end of the window.

Expect Wout and Anass out imminently.

CM/AM and a winger lined up from the prem. Both young, one played champ last season, the other the season before.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Gutted about Zaroury

Joe worrall incase we sell O’Shea

Is the cm/am the berge replacement

[CoolClaret]

Honestly, I'm not that fussed about Berge going.

He's a very gifted footballer and has brilliant moments but for me lacks consistency and bar the Fulham game away I can't recall many games where I thought he put in a solid 90-minute performance.

His good moments are brilliant and he could do things that no one else in the team could do but for me too often was caught dwelling on the ball or switched off and lost his man/didn't track a runner. Also didn't score enough imo for a midfielder and i'm not sure if he's the type of midfielder that would do his best work in a Scott Parker system. Always thought he'd be better in a 4-3-3 with more of a license to get forward.

Of course I wish him all the very best.

Time for Massengo (who I've been mightily impressed with) to step up when counted!
