Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

The most illogical signing of last summer. We already had Ng and Romeo and we added VDC on a 3 year contract.

I'm not against giving 20 year olds a chance tbh. Some work some don't. This looking like the latter but it won't have cost us a lot

I guess the logic was that NG was playing regularly as a CB under Morison.

He’s 22. It was mental to give him a 3 year deal. So many of last summer’s signings make no sense.

Some, thankfully, came off. I just find it bizarre that the same bloke that signed VDC signed Giles, Philogene, Doyle, Drameh etc

The most illogical signing was loaning out McGuinness and buying Simpson.

He's so far behind championship it should have been spotted.

Some great loans there another three like Phlo, Doyle and Dramah would be nice.

Charlie Savage has joined Reading on a permanent deal.

Seems Man U and Reading have agreed a deal and terms being discussed. Wonder if a Championship club take a punt and jump in.

I presume this is a free with a sell on clause as I thought Reading were skint.

When you said... "Wonder if a Championship club take a punt and jump in" I had to read it twice, initially it didn't seem to make sense.
Then the penny finally dropped, I of course then remembered that Reading are no longer a Championship club!

They had, like us, been in the Championship quite a few years, anyone know how long exactly?

Apparently United would insert a large % sell on clause along with a buy back option if they follow a similar pattern to their other young player transfers

He's 22 now yeah. Bot when we signed him.

With the benefit of hindsight etc etc but signing a (just turned) 21 year old on a three year contract is beyond the norm

Well, thanks for your input anyway.

Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

They were in the championship when it first formed in 2004/2005 season except the 3 years they spent in the premiership, so quite a long time
