Good point. I've always wondered how a transfer window can exist whilst meeting current employment laws. Surely denying a player the opportunity to move jobs during a period of time goes against freedom of movement or does it different for `fixed period contracts'?

I couldn't see him dropping down to the championship, but it's getting late in the window so maybe his options are limited. We just have too many bodies to bring another in though.

Cheers. Are these guys available on loan?

dunno, but it would mean there are shit load of players joining PSG at last minute.

Poor of our scouting team to miss him.

OK, but have you ever considered that there simply isn't anyone available that is suitable? It's an open forum, anyone else got any thoughts on a possibly striker on loan?

Yes that's the one. my post was about as accurate as your prediction that he might be an option for us on loan.

Unless someone like AA departed?

Whoever the scoffers were had good reason to scoff and have been proved right for scoffing. Well done you though on suggesting a player who missed an entire season through injury and couldn't get a game on his return might be available for loan. 😉

Who do you have in mind? They have to be unwanted by the current club, which is usually a bad start, plus it's tough getting senior pro's to drop down from the PL. So, that would mean coming from abroad...I'm struggling to think of perfect fit.

Before my time, but I few old boys I used to go to games still sang this on in the Chapel end: We've got tommy tommy tommy tommy Jenkins on the wing, on the wing. We've got tommy tommy tommy tommy Jenkins on the wing, on the wing. Tommy, Tommy Jenkins, Tommy Jenkins on the wing... Lets all have a disco, lets all have a disco... was popular in the last 80's early 90s.

spent about £2m in total on Josh Knight and Mark Koszynovsky. The rest were frees and loans. Sold no one for money.

it's well out of date. Transfermarkt has us spending EUR46 and selling EUR127

Sheaf going from Cov to Wrexham probably a sign that Smallbone move is dead. They will have spent £30m this summer, with nothing coming back the other way.

Galatasaray only signed him last summer (for €9m).

it will be disappointing if the last signing is not a final boss lookalike.

I am pretty sure we did.

and the Wolfsberg newspaper said otherwise according to EFL Analysis website. Who knows, but I doubt he wants to make a sideways move after scoring goals at this level. https://eflanalysis.com/news/liam-manning-receives-norwich-city-transfer-boost-as-josh-sargent-to-wolfsburg-twist-emerges/

Many reports suggested the deal didn't happen because Norwich wanted a lot more than Wolfsburg offered, which was about £16.5m.

They will know him and his game very well you'd think.

Wonder if we will get a bid for Charles on Monday? It's always the players you want to keep that PL teams try to acquire.

possibly. With a £38m parachute payment in 23/24 they still had to make £14m profit in players sales just to break even. Last season (24/25) they had no parachute payment. That meant a £38m reduction in income. They only made about £2m NET profit in player sales in 24/25. When their accounts come out for last season I'd expect a sizeable loss. So far this season they have only made about £10m NET profit on player sales according to transfermarkt. Unless their wage bill has been reduced massively over the last year, they may still need to sell Sargent to balance the books. His contract runs until 2028 which means they can wait until next year perhaps, but he will want a move.

Looked good at Sunderland, then bounced around a bit at a level too high for him and then found his proper level in the championship. Seems to know where the net is. Hopefully Stewart and Downs will find it too.

He must have been thinking about ABK
