The Transfer Rumour Thread (Summer 2026)

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread (Summer 2026)

Less is definitely more. It's up to people to do what they want (obviously) But the way he comes across is if he's so kind of authority of the basics of football, and he then goes at length to explain it to people. Lawlor would be worth more money with a good season under the championship under his belt........ It's like watching Play school, Although he's no Derek Griffiths!

I checked myself before being critical, but then i thought that if a person is going to put out stuff like this publicly, then they're open to criticism. He says that it's easy to replace a midfield player, a winger, and it's easy to replace goals. I'll let him off the first two, but easy to replace goals? Not in this universe it isn't, it's the hardest thing to do in football, that's why goalscorers cost so much money.

The easiest thing to do is to replace a defender, always has been. That's not to take away from Lawlor or his undoubted ability, his potential and grace he possesses in possession. I hope that he continues with his videos because they're hysterical.

Listen to this gobshite trying to teach his grandmother to suck eggs. Yer man has more football knowledge in his foreskin than you have in your whole body .
Away with you yer bitter little man.

If you look at the number of good strikers we've had compared to good midfielders, defenders and keepers, it says it all

I know, in fairness though, we had Warnock for a considerable period of time, and he couldn't pick a striker if he won first prize in a raffle, and the first prize was Erling Haaland

I think you’re forgetting Oumar Niasse and Gary Madine

One worth keeping an eye out for - Millwall, who I see getting praised a lot for their recruitment, are said to be after him as well.

Looks like he’s familiar with the Ayatollah!

"WalesOnline understands Cardiff are targeting four specific positions this summer; a powerful midfielder, a winger, a left-back and a striker."

Why do WalesOnline bandy the word ‘star’ about? Swansea have just signed a Celtic ‘Star’, a star who spent last season on loan at Motherwell or somewhere.

This has cropped up before. I remember being in the city centre one day; the early edition of the Echo was running with the headline (on the Echo stands)... "City Sign Man Utd Star"! It turned out to be Derek Brazil.
