The Transfer Rumour Thread

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

Claims that we (and Crawley and Walsall) have triggered the release clause for Flint Town Utd's young centre back Isaac Lee.

Seems to be good on the ball, but might struggle a bit with game-sense in a different environment (it's just weird for me to see defenders go that far up the pitch themselves). Seems like a cheap investment though that has the potential to be a great signing, so I'm open to it.

Chambers was better as a DM which wasn't difficult as hes as bad as CB we've had since we got back to the Championship.

If we can move him on for free then do it

Id prefer Wintle over him and maybe Eli King can claim the role. Ideally a new player in the role. But it seems unlikely we will be making the moves in the market we need if we are going to make a push for the play offs.

Chambers is a very poor DM, he can't play at all. He looks exactly like a centre half playing there.

But he doesn't look like a centre half when he plays as one.

He'll be very, very good next season in my opinion.

Rumours Willock is close to leaving and the club are trying to sell Daland (probably off the back of their non involvement vs Southend)

yeah there are a lot of websites to fill and not enough news stories to fill them with at this time of year so there's a lot of 2+2=5 going on

Rumours are that we’re trying to sell Horvath, Tanner, NG, Robinson, Robertson, Tsunoda, Willock & Daland, did I miss anyone?

Cheeky bid from Peter Ridsdale to try and get Robinson back to Preston?

Has anyone actually explained what the NG injury is to keep NG out for an estimated 5 weeks?

We should keep Robertson and I don't really see the point of getting rid of Tanner, don't think we'll fetch much for him.

WOL ****ing useless:

“Speaking during the club's pre-season tour last week, Barry-Murphy outlined his transfer priorities — and made it clear that any incoming signings must significantly raise the standard of the first XI. “Quantity over quality” was the message, a nod to a summer that might not be busy in volume, but must be impactful if Cardiff are to mount a serious promotion push.“

A bit harsh, going on previous seasons they would be spot on.

I guess there will always be players who's heads are turned when offers come in, and you can't blame them.
However, at the moment we seem to have more of a pipeline from the youth teams into the first team than at any point for a long long time -I wonder if that will make it easier to try to keep hold of some of our younger prospects in the future (assuming that pathway continues)

One of the objectives of the new Independent Football Regulator is "to protect and promote the financial resilience of English football as a whole, ensuring that systemic risks and structural issues like the distribution of revenue through the pyramid are managed appropriately", the poaching of young players by bigger clubs from smaller clubs is something he should look at. Clubs losing players they've developed should be properly compensated at the time, and maybe there should be a compulsory minimum % sell-on clause rule.

Totally agree
