Summer transfer window

[ŽižkovClaret]

I honestly think Wilson and Ings are nailed on for Wrexham

Makes you wonder if Jay will hang around really. He was relatively happy to play a bit part role for us, not sure he would be for Wrexham?

[ŽižkovClaret]

You think that Man United are going to sell two of their future star players, and worse to us.

Christ on a bike you don’t help yourself.

There’s players at United that might want to come to us but those two aren’t even close.

There is a rationale to it, any academy prospects they sell are pure profit for PSR, hence a lot of clubs letting academy prospects go, City being a case study

Arsenal pal thinks Arsenal could be Traffords destination with rumours the Reyna could be going to Madrid, reckons they have scouted him about 8 times?

I think he’ll be on better money there than he would get elsewhere and they will need experience, just as we have in that league over the years. I’d be surprised if he left.

I understand that. That’s what I’ve been saying about Trafford for the last two years.

But, those two are not getting sold unless a world class replacement becomes available. McTom was let go to aid Collyer coming through, so unless Wharton (who is only slightly better currently and has the same ceiling) is available (who imo is going to be WC but under appreciated ala Carrick) Collyer won’t be going anywhere.

Gore, Hugill, Williams etc are potentially better options.

They have, as have a huge European team, but he’s a home boy, and he wants to go home.

City have the first option on him, and wouldn’t let him go to Arsenal.

I don’t follow United closely, and have only seen the players mentioned a couple of times so no idea how much potential they have or how ready they are, but I would say it depends how much they plan on using them next season. If the players feel they won’t feature much and want premier league experience now, there may be a case for it.

United are in some financial difficulties, Academy players generate the most profit and there’s the potential to agree a low-ish buy back clause if they make it. Don’t feel it’s completely far fetched that we could do a deal that worked for everyone.

I honestly don’t think at this stage of the season any links are likely to be more realistic than the speculation/hopium. Late August is always the time for transfers. Any links we do get at the moment are where we’re one of 3-4 teams being linked with a player, which is obviously just agents touting players about, which is less interesting than the discussion, in my view.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Be a few start of June, especially with World Club Cup, but unlikely to affect out plans, unless we sweep up players pushed out of likely 25 man squads going forwards.....

[Quickenthetempo]

Wrong thread.

They started a thread for just links and talk of just the link. It sank down the board through lack of links.

Not sure about Brownhill before anyone asks.

Very good news if true.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Good news.

Would like the group to stay together as much as possible .

[bumba]

You heard anything on Brownhill since posting this??

Give it 30 minutes at least

[ollieclarets8]

Massive news if CJ has.

[warksclaret]

Good potential news on CJ, and still hope Brownhill follows suit. Be great start for the PL if we can keep the first team squad together, though something tells me there's an inevitability of Trafford not staying as he has so many top clubs looking at him. Then invest in 4 maybe 5 good players who can play an active part for us in the PL, rather than last years frenzied search for new players, and the resulting freezing out of players who had helped get us gain promotion . Then the club, which has now become accustomed to moving out players can start on the high numbers of fringe players we seem to have built up, including the returning loanees.

The togetherness we seem to have built up through our manager might prove to be the difference between us and some teams at the lower end of the PL table next year. If we could sell Amdouini , use this money in tempting Tella to join us-a known quantity who we know will fit the now culture of the club and provide Scott with a number of attacking options

[Murger]

CJ signing on would allow us spend in other areas.

[GetIntoEm]

Brownhill signed a week or so ago I'm led to believe. Just waiting for announcement

[jedi_master]

Would be as good as anyone we could realistically sign this summer to get CJ and Brownhill agreed. Are they the key to staying up? I’m not sure any ‘one’ signing could hope to guarantee that, but it keeps the status quo of a fantastic culture and atmosphere. Anything else we could do would be additive then as opposed to firefighting replacements like last time.

Also means that if the worst does happen, we have some fantastic players for the rebound. Praying the above on both players is true.

A big IF.

As with anything you read on this thread take it with a Tablespoon of Salt.

[Cooclaret]

Both in the bag.

Surprised tbh.

[randomclaret2]

Club just posted a Brownhill highlights video on YouTube

[Darnhill Claret]

Cooclaret, is that information that you are privy to, or are you just going off what has been posted on here?

[CardyTheClaret]

Bore off.

Sorry, Mr. Arrogant.

[NewClaret]

For those who didn’t see it, CT posted elsewhere that he’d heard Brownhill had signed a week ago (or more, now).

So in my mind it was just CJ to confirm and the news sounds promising on that front today.

[warksclaret]

Suspect the club is after max impact and wants to announce both together in a creative manner-maybe both on the same footage

Quotes from Amdouni’s Dad on the prospect of a move to Besiktas. Shades of Robbie Keane!

[Elizabeth]

It's great to have so many posters in the know. We can all relax now and wait for the club to announce the new contracts for Brownhill and CJ.

[Conroy92]

Can CT just post like a wink or something to confirm?

Brilliant. Rare you ever get someone speaking so openly.

Very honest and fair assessment from his father. He didn’t say what Zeki wants, although reading between the lines he’d favour a move, but he’s clear that we want €20m and respect to that were the decision maker and won’t be selling him cheaply.

Sounds like Benfica want him but have tried to lower the option price and we’ve said no. Well done to the club.

CJER signing perm would test the form's "meltdown immunity".

It certainly would, given that he was definitely signing for Strasbourg a matter of days ago.

[jojomk1]

Callum Wilson can only be signed on a pay as you play deal with his injury record. That's for any club.

Everton and Leeds interested in Wilson according to the The Sun

[Woodleyclaret]

DCL at Everton could be worth a punt.Undervalued by Moyes but also with some issues re lifestyle and fitness .This could be reflected in his price.
