Summer Transfer Window 2026

[Pilchards]

THB is always the one that makes those crosses.

Wood and Stephen’s are like putting a shirt in the box.

MASSIVE LOSS IF HE GOES.

What do we reckon on the Charles replacement then? Spors will have been well aware he was likely off for ages and the type of fee we’d get so he’s had plenty of time to eye up some targets. 
Another young with potential? Older experienced pro? Defensive Mid or more progressive?

Personally I think Bragg and Downes can cover defensive positions between them so I’d like someone a bit more forward thinking. There’s not been a massive amount of links and off the top of my head there was Dan Neil, a lad from Palace and Josh Mulligan.

Dan Neil was quite a defensive signing I thought. I agree with you, we need more of a goal threat.

Yeah I’m kind of hoping we can’t read too much into nearly getting Dan Neil in. Would have been cheap experience but I wonder whether we’ve decided to not go relatively big money on a striker and will instead spend it on midfield instead.

I'm assuming Matsuki gets that gig, or Azaz drops deeper with Matsuki or Dobbin ahead.

Azaz and Dobbin playing together could be interesting. I think we will replace Charles though.

Got to be a progressive player.

jander/bragg/downes can all play the defensive role

[Saint NL]

Kalvin Phillips going on loan to Sheffield United. He still has two years left on his Man City contract 

Could Tonda get a tune out of him? Or is he completely finished these days

[Midfield_General]

A Stu Armstrong type who can carry the ball and get us up the pitch would be nice

What happened to Barnaby Williams? He looked decent, well, like he had potential?

Jordan James please Johan/Dragan🙏

I’m not sure we will to be honest. Might be wrong but we are not hearing too much on time Charles replacement.

He was only sold today! Maybe the replacement will be a Prem loan.

What exactly would he bring? I don’t know much about him but he seems to be talked about a fair bit in the last couple of days.

Strange how it goes, a few weeks ago Josh Mulligan seemed to be the ‘must have’ linked with several clubs. But still at Hibs.

How many weeks to the window ‘slams shut’?

Well 11 goals and a few assists in a relegated team last year, and from what I can recall, lots of energy. At 22 could be a great addition. But seemingly in demand.

Trouble is for us though that he’d expect and want to be a guaranteed starter. He might get that at one of the other clubs in for him, but at Saints he’ll arrive with Downes and Jander in front of him.

I think we have generally moved on other than a few chants which are fair enough, Middlesbrough on the other hand are fucking mentally ill thinking they were in any way negatively impacted by us last season and are desperate to carry a victim complex into this season 

Such an insignificant club. The north east teams don’t care about them so they try to pretend they’re Yorkshire when it suits, the Yorkshire teams don’t care about them as they all more interested in hating Leeds. No one south of Leeds know they exist. They’re a bit like Bournemouth and Reading. No one cares about them enough to hate them,  no one likes them and they’ve never been on anyone’s radars so got to enjoy the attention whilst it lasts

I'd hope so, but if we do I think it'll be a free or loan.

The Dobbin signing was interesting, Azaz/Dobbin as the 2 options for the attacking midfielder is great, but seems a little bit of a luxury of if one of those 2 will be sat on the bench, so will be interesting to see how they are employed by Tonda when both are fully fit.

Is he? No more than Stewart was last year or Wellington is. Or one of Matsuki or fellows. You need a strong squad.

I am sure we were told Azaz, for many games, was playing through pain and/or with a niggle. 

He was great, but did go missing at times....
