Kieffer Moore "set to sign" for Hull apparently.

Now set to sign for Sheffield United!

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

apparently its on a free transfer too . surprised if that's true

Yes,Villa have released him from his contract.so we pay nothing.

Not bad for a player valued at 4 million pounds on Transfermarkt.

Two questions from me (not to you, but in general):

Why have Villa decided to release an asset that might be worth £4m (though I don't care much for Transfermarkt's valuations anyway)?

Which Championship sides has he turned down to join us?

Meite , Romeo , Rino have a combined value of over 3m on Transfermarket.

I'm certain we'd allow Romeo and Rino to go for free and probably Meite as well. (we certianly would accept an offer of a fraction of his 1.5m value)

Chambers turned down WBA in January.

He had one year left on a supposed 50k a week, I guess he was paid up so free to see who wanted him. His value is zero as now out of contract. Who else went for him, well we don’t know the same as most transfers.

If we got a penny for them or Robinson I would be amazed.

For the four of them combined, anyone offering a penny would want change, and they’d be entitled to it.

Got the Willock and Chambers deals right apparently.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

I guess people aren't sure what to expect. Chambers' career has clearly gone backwards during the last few seasons and it's not clear why.

He made nine Premier League starts for Villa in 2021/22, but only two in 2022/23 and just one in 2023/24 - a 5-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on the final day of the season (he was subbed on 68 minutes with the score at 4-0).

Chambers is obviously a decent player by Championship standards, but he hasn't played much football at all in recent years. City are clearly pushing the boat out in terms of wages this summer, so it will be interesting to see where he figures in Bulut's plans. Chambers won't be coming here to sit on the bench, so does he replace McGuinness at centre-half or Ng at right-back?

I certainly hope it's not to replace McGuiness. Before his injury was for me the only player who looked like he could play at a higher level.

Honestly, I think McGuiness would struggle in the Premier League.

There's no doubt that he's wholehearted, and like many, I believe he could end up as our captain.
However, Premier League defenders tend to have pace these days (coupled with good passing ability), if not they're easily exposed.

Being a committed defender in the Premier League isn't enough on its own.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

Apparently deli ali down the city now? Sauce - the other board 👍

This tweet says we are in advanced phases to sign Ali Al-Hammadi on loan from Ipswich, so maybe that was the “Ali” we were looking into and not Adele

This one makes more sense

True but if someone wants to pay us money for him then that's their problem

Jeezz he’s only 23, he doesn’t need to be a premier league player, he just needs to progress. IMO CB is the position you learn the more you play, ruthless position. He’s decent and can keep improving. I don’t think many are suggesting he’s a premier league player.

If, as is being reported, City do sign Chambers, do you reckon McGuinness gets a place in the starting lineup?
