Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread (Summer 2026)

That Bluebirds Corner podcast is claiming that we’re after this this player.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Findlay_Curtis

His contract runs out this summer and he’s been offered a new deal by Rangers, but it’s been speculated that he may well decide to move on because it’s unlikely he’ll get many first team chances because of the pressure Danny Rohl will under to deliver a trophy.

Norwich and Birmingham are also thought to be interested in signing Burns.

The podcast is also claiming that former Leicester striker Chris Popov is having a trial with the club (I’m pretty sure he was with our Academy a few years back) - would have thought he’d be a signing for the under 21s if there’s any truth to the claim.

Yeah he's a Cardiff boy isn't he, may have gone to United?

He's 21 now mind, not sure he'd be an u21 signing if there's any truth to it

That guy said a lot of things which didn't come off.

It's a bit of fun, harmless enough, treat it like you're overhearing the guy down the pub chat about what he has heard from his friends mate who works at the club.

Plymouth Argyle are interested in signing 28 year old midfielder Ryan Wintle on a free transfer this summer

Exactly this, the videos are short, entertaining and delivered with utmost confidence in its validity. Accuracy is somewhat patchy but doesn't that go for all this type of media?

I don't if its true but apparently Wintle was looking for £15kpw and a longish contract from us and we were not prepared to pay him that. If Plymouth are interested would they pay him £15kpw?

if he can get it, then all power to his elbow.

If true, I think the club made the right decision. Wintle, other than last season, has been quite wishy-washy in terms of quality, he'd have some poor games, then have a great game. In League One, he was constantly having great games, but could he replicate that in the Championship? I think there's a good argument the CDM position is the most important position on the pitch, and if we can find a hungry player in their prime, it could be critical for us.

I agree it’s probably the most important position on the pitch, I also think it’s the captains position. I’ll take a modern version of Kav.

For less than £15k a week though, in the Championship, very unlikely. I think it would have to be a loan signing where we pay partial wages.

I'm happy to go above 15k for a permanent, but it needs to be someone who is hitting their peak or in it. Wintle was great last season, but unlike someone like Bagan, I don't know how much room there is to grow and if his performances would translate to week-in, week-out in the Championship. I think the length of the contract might have been the bigger issue than the pay.

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread (Summer 2026)

I think if a side is looking to splash out on paying those wages in division one,they could do a lot worse than looking at Wintle,I think it’s a level where he can do an excellent job.
