Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

That would be one hell of a fall from grace for Ojo, surely he has options above League 2?

I would assume it's the Neil Harris connection. Arguably the only manager in his career to even remotely get something out of him.

Isaak needs games, and a loan at a top-half L1 club would be perfect. Watters will have plenty of takers in the lower leagues and I assume we'll never see him in a City shirt again.

Vontae Campbell was a shocking signing and if his agent can find a taker, he deserves every penny of his bonus.

If we can replace Jack Simpson and also move Sawyers on I think it'll be a brilliant window (although I guess Bulut will want to have a look at Sawyers first).

And if we can swap at least one of our keepers, it'll be perfect. I wonder what the new GK coach makes of them.

Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

Expect some outgoings at Cardiff after a busy window and with more incomings due. Sheyi Ojo (Gillingham), Isaak Davies (Charlton/Oxford), Vontae Campbell (Burton) and Max Watters (Barnsley) all on radars of EFL clubs. #CardiffCity #gillingham #cafc #barnsley #BAFC #gills #oufc

That’s big.

Ojo I’ve seen glimpses of but doesn’t cut it anywhere near enough.

Issak needs to play can’t wait to see him develop into the player he will be.

The other two won’t be in our XI

I wonder who’s making these decisions? I’m not sure Bulut can make the assessment on players this quickly? Is he being guided to what’s gone on previously?

Of course. The club apparently has a recruitment team (put in place by Neil Harris I believe) and a couple of performance analysis guys. There is no way in the world that Bulut would have known much (if anything) about the likes of Meite and Grant. The only signing that looks like one of his so far is Goutas.

Copy pasta from the article.

Cardiff City has his eye on him

At the moment, one of the offers that has sounded loudest for the player Leonardo Campana is that of Cardiff City . This club is one of the most popular in England, who have already started their roadmap with all the irons to strengthen their ranks, and the Ecuadorian may be on that list of footballers.

They have already set their sights on him, now a formal offer is missing. However, expert media speculate that there could be strong interest in this gem, which Transfermarkt has valued at 3 million euros.

I'm not sure how accurate that part is.

we were linked with him weeks ago, I'm guessing we've signed other targets since then

Isaak Davies to join Mark Harris, Murphy & Brown at Oxford? Are we becoming their feeder club.

Whoever has been bringing in the unknown names or loan signings is doing a decent job. Why then weren't they more involved with morisons scattergun generally diabolical signings last summer?

Kevin Beadell is/was apparently in charge of the loan signings. He apparently signed Vontae Daley-Campbell too...

That's what the other board was saying. I've got no idea.

Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

With no “in the know” info whatsoever, I reckon we’ll be trying to get Cedric Kipre back, possibly on a permanent basis. West Brom are desperate to cut their wage bill and would be exactly the sort of club I’d be looking at for bargains this summer - for example, I would have thought many clubs would have been looking for a loan fee for someone like Karlan Grant.

It may take right up to the transfer window’s final days toget there, but I reckon the Baggies might be open to an offer to take over Kipre’s contract from us if they still are in a situation where they have to shift players out late next month.

I'm gonna throw my hat into the ITK ring and say Alex Mowatt is the next WBA player we steal.

I'd agree with your second sentence, but I'd reserve judgement on the 1st. I think Ramsay and Grant are good signings, but the 1st three are gambles.

A good player, but we have 6 senior midfielders vying for 2 spots already. I hope we love Sawyers on as well as one of Adams and Rinhomota
