2025 Summer Transfer gossip and squad discussion (and manager)

[1964white]

Oh my word, I can feel a love-in for another Leeds centre-back.

Michael Keane (free agent) rumours. Would be a good free signing. But can't see it unless we're losing someone.

A 4th central defender would only be a back up player.

Fairly reliable this journalist

Doesn't stand out much in terms of goals or assists or indeed tackles and pressing stuff weirdly this player.

Seems more of a progressive type.

Good at getting the ball from back to front via dribbles or passes.

A Rothwell replacement then? SH will be happy then

If you remove the payers we expect to leave or go on loan, include Bijol in the squad (Not certain yet), don't include Gray, Chambers, Debayo and Gyabi ; I make it we have a squad of around 16, which leaves us 9 places to fill!

Include those 4 and 5 places to fill.

Needing a keeper, 2 full backs, 2 midfielders and a striker.

Looks to me we might bring in around another 6 or 7 players

Good news is I think we have our quota of 8 home grown, no problem.

Dare to dream...it looks like Habib Diarra is definitely leaving Strasbourg:

[Johnsie123]

I am glad we are trying to get players in but getting a bit concerned it's gone quite on a GK cos we cannot go into prem with Darlow and Meslier no way can we do that ,and if he does Darlow got to be number 1.

No chance Gray doesn’t make the 25.

That was the exciting move, a position of need would have been sorted.

[SG90]

He's under 21 so doesn't need to be included.

[SG90]

Because of Chelski I bet. Co-ownership needs banning from football.

Need more PL experience and a wise old head in the dressing room, so would be a good signing.

I’m seeing nothing here Ash, was there a post? Wondering if there’s a site glitch at my end.

Edit: forget that, post appeared when I quoted it.

Bloody hope not, but I hadn't thought of that. They only gave us Ampadu becuase they thought he was s**t. When we signed him I said to my brother in law, a Chelsea fan, we just signed Ampadu from you (expecting something positive back) he said, you're welcome to him he's crap

[The Subhuman]

AMF
LWB
GK
1 starting Striker

were the key needs coming into the windows

Then some up and comers (21's, some experienced depth at WB, RCB, LWB

Interesting it's mentioned he'd played primarily in a team using a back 3.

Something I suggested as Something I hoped we may do.
