Summer 2024 Transfer Rumours

[J_B]

Why do we constantly seem to have a host of first team players in the last year of their contract? It always used to be typical that if a player had two years remaining, he either had to sign a new deal or be sold that summer. The club lose any sort of negotiating power once the player is down to 12 months.
Considering the owners are constantly telling us how much it costs "just to keep the lights on", you'd think they'd pay a bit more attention to preserving the values of the few playing assets they do have.

Naughton, Darling, Pedersen, Cabango, Allen and Cullen are out of contract next summer with Broome, Fisher, Parker, Key, Tymon, Tjoe-A-On, Abdulai, Fulton and Ginnelly the following summer.
That's 15 of the first team squad who have less than two years remaining on their contracts and should have either been extended or sold this summer. Instead, they could possibly walk away for nothing and the club then has no money to reinvest into the squad

Trouble is you can't just sell a player unless we get a bid and then the player gets offered terms that suit him (and his agent).
Many of those will only be of interest to teams lower down the pyramid and why would they agree to lower wages when they can see out their contract and then get a signing on fee when they move.

Kaide Gordon is close to agreeing a loan move to Swansea City.

Plenty of potential, let's hope he lives up to it, if he signs.

Winger(primarily on the right) or a no 10.
Looks a decent signing but with a history of injuries.
Looks like 1 from Provgdence or Milleskog for the other winger slot.......got a feeling it will be Providence, would like to see Milleskog primarily but feel financially it will mean it won't happen.

Leaves us with 1 striker and 1 centre half to go.......paramount the centre half is a permanent given the contract situation with Cabango and Darling.
Despite all that, hearing there could well be more than 4 through the door by the end of the window with 2/3 out the door.

Was handed a new long term contract by Liverpool in May.

I’m kind of hoping we have at least 2 targets at the other end of the pitch!! We seem to be fairly well stocked in the attacking third. A more compact defence would allow more freedom and creativity up front for players that we already have.

Let's hope this isn't like the Arsenal guy we had last year!

Makes you think what will happen to Parker and govea now as we seem to have a load of wingers but as evidenced today we are desperate for a number 10 to allow Franco to play alongside grimes

Interesting both are injured and had interest over the summer.....possible movement out for them with this kid coming in.
Just seen a clip of this Gordon and he is left footed with a bit of pace...maybe instead of Providence, if so then it leaves us 2 x non WP slots available.

Milleskog and a centre back permanently and a loan striker possibly?

Is Milleskog a 10?

I think a cb and a 10 is imperative

Primarily a winger but can play up top or no 10.

 

[Magic_Michu]

Milleskog looks the real deal… a combo of Ronald, Milleskog & Eom all with the ability to play any role behind the striker… interchangeable and fluid… they’d cause defences havoc

Looks pretty good and I'm all for fluidity in the final 3rd.

Is he coming then? Seems to have gone quiet. Not to sure on him myself we'd look very, very lightweight with him and eom together, would need to be one or the other.

A front line of

Zipotnik

Eom-Milleskog-Ronald

I think it would be a 50/50 split
Zipotnik/Ronald-power/strength
Milleskog/Eom creativity/skill.

The 3 playing behind Zipotnik all capable of interchanging positions.
