General Transfer Rumours (Summer 2021)

[brentfordwannabee]

Danjuma would be good. Looking at the squad though I think a lot of them are ready for the Prem. If dalsgaard goes, I think we need a RB, cover for Rico at LB and a wide forward.

Not sure Danjuma would pass the no dickheads rule!

 

[jlove]

I'd bet we sign a couple of players none of us have heard of!

I can't think of anyone from the relegated clubs other than Pereira, who'll be in demand from some PL clubs. Within the Championship, many of the stand-out players were loans from PL clubs but Swansea's Cabango did look impressive enough for a young player, with Danjuma good, too, but I'd guess he's got options lined up already. Barnsley's Andersen also looked a good CB and we could do with more Mads. I wonder if we could tempt Adam Armstrong down South, too?

 

[brentfordwannabee]

Would we take cabango or ghuhi ?

Would really like Reid to stay.

 

[Invipai]

I think we're more likely to sign slightly higher rated players now, so we may have actually heard of some of those we're linked to! We'll still do value, but a higher value shall we say...

We definitely need another wide forward (left forward), a central midfielder, a CB realistically and a RB. One or two 'depth' options may not be bad either as some of our B-Team options realistically won't quite be good enough.

 

[Hudgebadger]

I wonder if the b-team will see more of an intake to then feed into the main team?

 

[JPince]

more of a leeds approach than fulham, strengthen with several nuggets that most have never heard of + JDS type prem youngsters who want to play (instead of watch).

 

[Invipai]

I wonder if the b-team will see more of an intake to then feed into the main team?

The standard of the B-Team will need to improve as well now, and some players who may have got a look in at Championship level may not be able to now. We'll need to improve the quality of our intake and unfortunately some will have to move on, and I would expect a higher quality influx.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Tyrese Campbell please..

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Danjuma would be good. Looking at the squad though I think a lot of them are ready for the Prem. If dalsgaard goes, I think we need a RB, cover for Rico at LB and a wide forward.

Danjuma would be great, but who would he replace?
I’m more than happy to start next season with Bryan and Ivan up top.

 

[SpiderBee]

I strongly recommend we push the boat out to get this guy! - Rodrigo Bentancur - Wikipedia

 

[swr22]

Premier League. London. Time to go get Messi.

 

[djheavens]

Perhaps we will be back in for Robin Hack who we were linked with previously?

Michael Olise would be a decent signing

 

[Cham]

Callum Styles from Barnsley ..

 

[jlove]

Michael Olise would be a decent signing

Agree with that but he'd need to bide his time to get into contention with our style of play.

 

[Bangor Bee]

The Championship players who caught my eye most last season were, obviously, Guehi and Danjuma, and, less obviously, Dael Fry, the Middlesbrough centre back.

I like Danjuma but I see us looking for the next Danjuma rather than paying £20m odd to get him and his fat wages out of Bournemouth.

 

[AB]

I thought Djed Spence looked decent for Boro. As a 20 year old Londoner (ex Fulham academy, spit) who can play LB or RB I suspect we could make him a very attractive offer.

I can also see why were interested in Marc Bola but I think that ship might have sailed.

 

[Aussie Bee]

It will be interesting to see what players leave as well - hopefully the likes of Toney will hang around but a move to Spurs to replace Kane would be hard to knock back wouldn't it. just the signing on fee would be worth millions to him.

However I am sure most of them will have clauses in their contacts upping their wages to premier league levels

 

[hypa123]

We're blessed - as one of the Sky commentators pointed out - with several players who display a high degree of versatility, being able to cover in a wide variety of positions. We may not need to buy in all much, perhaps two or three quality players with a similar ability to slot in almost anywhere. We have Rico and JDS to return, as good as new signings, and the highly experienced Reid might well be worth a short-term contract. In the season just completed we beat four of the five Premier League teams we encountered. All in all, I'm not expecting a massive buy-in in the next couple of months - one or two young "European" talents à la Janelt, perhaps a marquee signing, and that's it.

 

[Mr Cynical]

Danjuma would be good. Looking at the squad though I think a lot of them are ready for the Prem. If dalsgaard goes, I think we need a RB, cover for Rico at LB and a wide forward.

Will def need a ball playing CB and some flair and pace..

 

[Mr Cynical]

Would really like Reid to stay.

I don't think he's any better than what we've got. If we sign a CB it needs to be someone who can do what Norgaard has done there so he can move back to CM..

 

[Mr Cynical]

Article here with interview with Rasmus but behind a paywall. Any of our Danish friends have an account and can provide a summary?

[WARFIELD BEE]

Anderson (on loan at Fulham) Danish, no idea what his value is however.

 

[jbee]

Are we going to stick with 3 at the back or go back to 4-3-3? I suspect the latter in which case we'll need some back up at full back and another winger.

I think having the flexibility and unpredictability of being able to switch between them has been key to our success at the tail end of this season. If we move back to 433 it’ll be different to how we played it last season/early this season with CN/MJ/JDS and be more to accommodate playing both CN and VJ in a double pivot. Lots of homework over the summer for Frank and his coaching team and who we buy.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

He'll be going to a big club imo.

 

[JohnOmarasShorts]

He'll be going to a big club imo.

Us then.

 

[jamesaurthur]

Us then.

If we want him and is good enough

 

[jbee]

Us then.

I know you're joking but I hope we will always remain a small club with a "small club mentality" whatever we achieve from here on.

 

[chris_bees7]

Hope we sign Brennan Johnson just set up the first for Lincoln, onloan from forest.

 

[FJBee]

Would love Olise from Reading. In the last year of his deal so wouldn’t be the most expensive transfer. Think he’d be excellent for us.

Styles would be another good one. Imagine we’ll get a couple of unknowns from around the world.

 

[Ealing Bee]

Tyrese Campbell please..

Good call, ,but Stoke will be VERY reluctant to let him go (I think he's not long into a new contract), while BFC might want to wait another bit to see when/whether he recovers fully from his serious injury?

Anyhow, I wonder will Brexit hinder us further now we're in the PL? For as I understand the general principle, work permit availability is in part related to the level of football you're playing at, meaning eg that Scottish Premier League clubs are allowed to sign players who wouldn't qualify for an English PL club.

Meaning that we may no longer be permitted to sign young players from France's Ligue 2, for instance, so might be pushed toward Ligue 1? Scandinavian club players might also be "beneath" us, if you see what I mean.

 

[vcmazz]

Harry Kane seems restless at Spurs. Back up for Ivan maybe?

 

[mhead bee]

would we want/be able to afford anyone from the relegated prem teams, I wonder?

Why would we want them?

They have just been relegated so weren’t good enough.

That was the template of so many promoted teams for so many years who picked up relegated players and went down themselves.

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

Looks like we will need an attacking midfielder if EM goes and Josh not fit till October

 

[Leedsbee]

One of the great joys of yesterday is that we should be able to keep the likes of Rico, Josh, Christian and Ivan. Phil, Ras and the recruitment team haven't let us down yet and it will be fascinating to see what's planned in the book marked Plan B.

 

[taxi driver]

I like Sibley at Derby.....he might be a little rich for us however.

 

[bostonhanwell]

Benham is a master tactician. There's little doubt he will have a plan already in place. This transfer window will be fascinating.

That's why I'm confident we won't do a Fulham or West Brom. Norwich will though. They do every two years.

 

[gbems92]

Benrahma anyone?

 

[AB]

Benrahma anyone?

About the only player I’d change my stance on loans for!

 

[stomalomalus]

That's why I'm confident we won't do a Fulham or West Brom. Norwich will though. They do every two years.

Then why don’t we spend our cash on buendia. He’s been a one man team for Norwich

Seriously, I don’t think we need lots, mainly a backup for Rico, a new winger with pace to burn, an experienced cb who doesn’t mind being back up, a gk of Daniels goes, a rb if Dalsgaard goes, an attacking mid if Marcondes goes... and that’s it really.

We should be looking to re integrate Halil if he’s back.

 

[thickobee]

All this talk of Ras, Phil etc. Isn’t Lee Dykes our director of recruitment?

 

[hardybee]

I like Sibley at Derby.....he might be a little rich for us however.

I would rather have Beilek at Derby. Can play CB and CM or Jason Knight.

 

[AB]

I would rather have Beilek at Derby. Can play CB and CM

He did look their stand out player before injury.

 

[ladbroke]

What about Pione Sisto, who went back to FCM beginning of this season just ending?

 

[jlove]

Benrahma anyone?

No show ponies...

 

[jlove]

All this talk of Ras, Phil etc. Isn’t Lee Dykes our director of recruitment?

I believe Lee Dykes reports to the Directors of Football and that they, together with Thomas and maybe others form the core team. Nobody makes individual decisions.

 

[vcmazz]

Then why don’t we spend our cash on buendia. He’s been a one man team for Norwich

Never heard of him. The only Norwich player I know is the Irish lad. Tim O'Pukey? I quite like that West Brom bloke that looks like Lionel Richie. Go after him maybe?
