Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

[Hilts]

Bradley Dack was highly regarded a few years back but his recognition as such has stalled in recent years. I reckon he is worth a go even though he is 29 years of age.

Hes had some bad injuries to be fair.

Dalman's renewed enthusiasm suggests that at some point we might start properly investing in the squad. Given we have another year to wait for that there seems little point in "bolstering" the squad with cast-offs when we might have another large scale renewal in 2024 and they'll be surplus to requirements. We could offer them a year but it's doubtful they'd take it and most of the names available don't seem worth much more.

In other probably fictional news, a Leicester website reckons they're looking at Ng.

If it is this piece (same as the twitter link above), despite the misleading headline they are just saying Leicester 'should' look at Ng. Nothing to suggest they are.

Ah righto; that'll teach me to skim through the speculation.

Unless Tan has found some trick around FFP or we can sell someone on for good money I don't see how we start investing in the squad, certainly not to a level that would excite anyone.

Best I feel we can do is try to discover some talent cheaply and develop them. Not sure we have much experience of that mind.

we would need a trick around the transfer payment embargo as well as the FFP regulations

Hardly writing it off though is he.

I hope it doesn't drag on like Bale did!

Regarding the embargo, it seems to me that we should be thinking in terms of putting money we cannot pay in transfer and loan fees into the things we aren’t banned from doing, so,for example, we could shop at a higher level in the free transfer market. If we can’t pay transfer fees, then why don’t we look at offering a bit more in wages than we would have been prepared to pay without an embargo? Similarly, could we pay a bit more in signing on fees?

In the loan market, maybe the embargo means that we could make a bigger contribution to the player’s wages?

IS IT HAPPENING?!?!?!

Meanwhile...

"Mark Harris is understood to remain on Stoke City's shortlist of free agent targets after it was confirmed he had been offered a new contract by Cardiff."

NG is very decent player at this level ,he would be watched by quite a few teams especially with the knowledge we are cash strapped .

[TWGL1]

There may well be a few Wigan players available soon

would we want any?

[Pedro de la Rosa]

They've got a young CB that's highly rated, Charlie Hughes. I imagine he will get paid on Friday, come hell or high-water.

The rest, probably not.

Callum Lang , Joe Bennet , Max Power ( for free anyhow)

I was a big fan of Joe Bennett when he was here , but I don't think it would be a good move now

Sorry to be the pedant.

You are of course correct.
Not slightly pedantic.
