The Transfer Rumour Thread

We might need him because Tanner is out though. I think there's room for him here, he doesn't need to be loaned.

It's a squad, not a roster. We aren't talking about ab American football team.

Anderlecht are reportedly considering a loan move for winger Tanatswa Nyakuhwa. Cardiff have ruled out a permanent sale and would prefer a move inside the EFL.

I've noticed a number of posters using the word 'gotten'. Nothing wrong insomuch as it's archaic English, but why try to pretend you're American.

Four new players coming in on Monday: left back, two-footed winger for both sides, Centre half, box-to-box midfielder.

The deals were done months ago, but they've been held back for dramatic effect.

Only 26 and you look at where he has played his football in the last three seasons and think how have we managed to get him?

Playing under Barry-Murphy at Rochdale must have helped

Yes, I’m sure you’re right - I’m thinking he might be named captain, but I’m not sure that would be a good idea because Rubin Colwill has reacted so well to the extra responsibility he’s been given.

Let's hope that's not the last time we ask that question over the next few days :thumbup:

Oooh tease

Ethan Horvath had a stormer for Wednesday tonight - buried Leeds in the pelanty shoot out after a heroic performance!

I see Osho's agent is Wasserman.

Not sure if it's on here but pretty sure we'll be after a CM. Rumour that Eli King has done his ACL

That is very bad news if true - he was set up to compete with Wintle (and Mafico?) this season for the 6 shirt.

This piece was only from yesterday (so he must have picked up the injury very recently):

Robertson with an injury setback too - but Turnbull probably OK for the weekend.

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...d-out-32355681

Confirmed here, injured in training on Sunday

Chambers is actually very good as a CDM also, much better than he is as a CB honestly.

Yes apparently made some good saves in the match too. Pleased for him.

Chambers to Wrexham making a reappearance on social media - I suppose it might be possible that we wouldn’t let him go until we had a replacement lined up?

Speaking of Copenhagen, I'm stranded there at the moment after my 5 hour flight to Greenland (and all international flights in and out of Nuuk) have been cancelled indefinitely due to a security problem i.e. no checks when people landed.
I have taken the opportunity to book what seemed the very last ticket in the home area in this Champions League game against Basel - and for the princely and official sum of £25 (with no extras).
Unfortunately, accommodation costs are through the roof due to an Ed Sheeran concert, a walk of some description that has thousands of participants, the level of tourism and perhaps this game.
I'm not happy splashing out £200-£300 for a room so I'll kip at the airport.
The game starts in 55 mins
