Summer transfer window

[Row x]

I'm still hoping for Tella, but no interest in Ings. Given the amounts thrown about by Sunderland, we surely have room for one marquee signing?

Don't want ings

Keep dreaming about Tella, ain't going to happen, however much certain people would like it to

[Rileybobs]

Longstaff would be great as an option if he was included in the negotiations for Trafford

I keep seeing people suggest these kinds of deals, but how often do you see football transfers where players move in opposite directions as part of the same deal.

Always better off with the money. Spend it on what the manager really wants.

Instead of it being a swap as such, it would be a PSR deal. Newcastle give us 35m for Trafford then we sign Longstaff for 15m. Newcastle, Villa, Everton ans Forest did deals last summer just to get around PSR

Vardy said his body couldn't take the PL any longer so unless somebody offers him stupid money he'll be in the Championship or an "exotic" location.

[ecc]

Just had a look at him and he looks excellent.

Stassin will probably fetch £30m.

[ecc]

good. everyone's a winner.

NUFC get England's best young keeper, Traff gets to play CL and we get to spend more cash on players!

Or not.

I think you'll find it was Halley, Boyle and Watson a formidable back line

Newcastle have already bent us over twice with Wood and Pope,either pay our valuation or fck right off.

We got a ridiculous amount for Wood. I think it was around £27 million. Okay he came good at Nottingham Forest but Newcastle sold him at a tremendous loss.

It wasn’t the fee we recieved for Wood that was the problem it was more the fact of how much it weakened us as a relegation rival.

[Longsider]

I think we were down anyway to be honest. He wasn't a force for us at that time . No denying he has been brilliant for Forest.

[burnley007]

His comments when he left definitely confirmed it was time for him to leave

[claretonthecoast1882]

The goals had definitely dried up the season we sold him. Wood had scored 3 goals that season when he left the club, he then went on to score 2 for Newcastle the same season and another 2 in the first half of the following season.

No doubt he has been brilliant for Forest but for us that season and Newcastle in his whole time there not so much.

[burnley007]

It's gone strangely quiet on transfers. I wonder if we are waiting for clubs/players to make a decision?

We desperately need midfielders...DESPERATELY!!

[Jakubclaret]

It did. The very message transmitted was a white flag waving. A sad way in my view to just accept something without fighting.

But didn't they meet his buy out amount from his contract so not much we could do ?

If you believe that I guess so!

I think more pertinently is when the release clause came into effect was the debate back then. Hook line & sinker was the general theme as I recall with the naive disciples.

[Woodleyclaret]

The loosing a striker of Chris Woods ability was bad enough but the fact that no-one admits that they recruited Wout was worse.

Absolutely mental.

The release clause was literally reported in the clubs accounts

It's something Chris wood remained tight lipped about. It was a release clause which is factually true so it would be it's WHEN that became applicable.

That doesn't mean we're not doing anything. Remember Tuanzebe and Walker - both deals were completed in hours after journalists published the stories.

Not everyone is on the same level as you, which considering your thoughts and views can only be welcomed.

Correct it’s factually true that it was a release clause

[Jakubclaret]

Without getting personal agree to disagree. it's all old hat I don't wish go on the same argument again it's not beneficial to the thread purpose or productive in any sense.

Henderson joining Brentford on a two year deal.

[Jakubclaret]

Yes it was a release clause which we decided to activate early.

I wonder what sort of wages he'll be on.

For someone who doesn't wish to go over old ground perhaps stop talking about something you have no idea about

Rhian Brewster the ultimate con job by Liverpool A very poor player sold for top money to a gullable Sheffield United. I am surprised it took so long to get rid.

He came in as their record signing as well and still is till this day and they've released him on a free. I find that rather amusing

[gandhisflipflop]

Yeah I wouldn’t want Brewster.

Jordan Henderson to Brentford , 2 year deal according to David Ormstein.

[warksclaret]

Can see Brewster going to Boro. Their new manager Rob Edwards likes playing with a big No 9, and might get the best out of him

[Woodleyclaret]

So no glorious return for Hendo at the Stadium of Light.

Christ I hope not.

[Commy]

Not that I would really want us to sign him but Brewster must have something about him as he scored 11 in 22 for Swansea when on loan. I think he had injury problems with Sheff Utd but only scored 8 in 106 games. Not sure how many were starts. Maybe Sheff Utd played him out of position as you don't go from one in two to 8 in 106 for no reason.

[Jakubclaret]

Things had quietened down I wasn't going to reply back to him. it's people like you that start things up again making a big deal out of things when it's not necessary.

[Jambounchained]

Rhian Brewster?

Jesus wept - I wouldn't want him in the Championship

[bpgburn]

Rhian Brewster, please no... We don't need another Foster.

[Big Vinny K]

Brewster has got to be up there with one of the worst transfers in premier league history - especially if you take into account the relative wealth of the club who bought him.

He cost £23.5m in 2020 and has spent a big chunk of this injured and when he was fit he failed to score a single goal in his couple of seasons in the premier league and didn’t even reach double figures (in total not per season !) in the other 3 seasons in the championship despite Sheff United were competing at the top of the league and winning most of their games.

Apparently on £1.8m a year from the outset with signing on fees etc he will have cost Sheff United more than £35m since he signed….and now he walks away on a free.

Hope we go nowhere near this transfer.

[Jakubclaret]

Sounds ideal with that CV.

[Holtyclaret]

I notice Bauress and McDermott have been training with the First Team

They have for a while and early pre season a lot of youngsters will so sp can look them over.
