Summer Transfer Window 2025/26

[Saint NL]

I thought Norwich's Sargent went to Wolfsburg, but apparently he didn't go. We should be all over that.

Not a chance we’re chucking £20m at a striker when we already have loads.

We've got rid of loads! We're a week away from the start of the season and we haven't exactly set the world on fire with new signings, infact, this summer feels just like last summer in that we haven't brought what's needed, again! 

And we could do with getting rid of more. 

ABK, Taylor, Fraser, Aribo and even BBD can all go too.

Outside of GK and possibly AM (although Fernandes will likely still be with us for the first game or two), our starting lineup is good enough to start the season. Hopefully it will be improved further by the end of the window. Still another month to go.

That was reported yesterday wasn't it?

Daily Echo says we want £40m+

What a bunch of fannies, Jesus. Let's at least give the club until the end of the transfer window and the manager a decent run of games before we start wetting the bed.

If we don’t beat Wrexham Steel and Spurts will have failed

I love headlines like this. Are they sending it by Pidgeon? Stopping via the Times first to let them know it’s coming.

Wow, which genius came up with this piece of 'breaking news?'

[CB Fry]

Of course, if you click on Paul Joyce's twitter feed, there is no such story anyway.

[Farmer Saint]

Hmmm, not good news guys...

I wouldn't accept that 2nd bid (whatever it is) purely because it's coming so soon after the first one.

Yet another player given away for an absolute pittance.

But it makes sense though you can’t just keep adding players, we’ve got 6 off the Books with another 2 going soon, brought 2 in plus the returning loan signings. We have a load of players good enough for championship but not good for the premier league.

Exactly this

Good god this forum is hard work to read, reality is if we lined up right now, despite the differences in ours and Wrexhams transfer activity we STILL have a better team on paper

Despite everyone thinking Archer is completely toothless, the bookies STILL have him as top scored favourite, or there abouts

We’ll spend when we know the make up of the squad, every season we get the same ‘buy early’ clap trap, and every season we don’t, its as if clubs strategise later buys to ensure they get the best deals

I simply can’t judge where we are until the end of the transfer window, but as it stands, we’re ‘rightly’ favourites for autos along with Ipswich

Joke. We never extract the amount we should. SR and Spors out.

Just think of the crap "we " could buy if he goes.

[Give it to Ron]

Broja to Burnley 25m how far has he fallen think injuries taken toll

[Dusic]

 

I think we wil lose Fernandes and Dibling but if you listen to this whole segement it seems a fairly measired and accurate summary of where we are.

Will be interesting to interpret Still's view on incomings when asked post match tomorrow - he was clear last week that we need to see more stuff happen and I guess on outgoings it has this week.

 From one low league table team on loan to another lower league table team permanently with a couple of lower league table loans in between. So not that far

Completely different climate to 2011. That's almost impossible to do now. 

It's probably even harder now to sign Prem-ready players when in the Championship. The gap has widened

And every season we start slowly - just saying.

I honestly couldn’t give a toss in general about all this, I won’t lose sleep over it like some do on here. 😂

Would I have preferred us to have a good squad going into the season with a number of changes - yes of course.

But as long as we have a good squad come the end of the window then fine, imagine the panic buying should we lose to Wrexham, Pompey and Ipswich 🤣

I don't think we should be signing prem ready players I bthe championship. I'd like to see us try to keep hold of a couple if we get relegated.

Burnley paying £30m Inc add-ons for Broja, are they fucking stupid

Window closes before the Pompey game.

I mean once upon a time, some on here were absolutely fawning over him, a guy that scored no more than maybe 8 or 9 goals for us, all in a purple patch mid season, and was missing for the final three months of it.

Burnley are more than welcome to over pay for him. 🤣

About £25m would've been the going rate for him after his loan with us, purple patch or not. That's just what any semi-proven striker costs in the PL. But to pay that after the time he's had since is just crazy... they must have been properly scraping the barrel

[woodsaint1]

30m for Broja 😦. You'd think Burnley would have learnt their lesson from last time, but no.

Their recruitment has been poor, particularly compared to what Sunderland have done. Sunderland having a real go at it, which is what you need to do

So are we saying it was good we didn’t sign him for similar fees when everyone was lamblasting the club for letting another one slip through our fingers?

It's only good if we got a sell on fee for him, otherwise our loan dealings are shit. 

Seaside B&B.

[sockeye]

Burnley in 20th I’d say. “Parkerball” won’t cut it in the Premier League despite their impressive defense in the Championship last term. Of course still a month until the window SLAMS SHUT so this is practically the ramblings of a madman

[ally_uk]

Regarding losing our best players it is what it is. 

Looking forward to this season, however if we get promoted then what ? Don't know about you but I've fell out of love with the Premier league, it's a circus....
