2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

[Trinidad Rover]

They wont sign another CM having got 3 in (Forshaw, Baradji, Tavares)

As many have said, despite that we are chronically short there in both quality and experience. Tavares looks very poor from what we have seen, granted he missed most of pre season.

Will define our season.

Doubt Baradji will be fit till november time then he’ll need time to get up to speed and adapt to the championship.. may aswell have got him in January 

And if that is the case whoever decided that we should ship out Travis and replace him with Baradji needs firing. You can't replace your captain with a player who won't be fit for months.

no one outside the club knows what the situation is with Baradji 

[London blue]

I know exactly what the situation is.

He's unavailable to play and won't be match fit for some time.

[Lancaster Rover]

Alan Browne would have been a fantastic signing given his experience and quality, the way it was dismissed totally out of hand in the post match interview tells me everything I need to know.

Its bizarre. He played (his request) for the under 21s a couple of weeks ago.

If Toth gets injured and a young lad comes in and makes a mistake. Thats on Ismael.

Do you remember which game? Can't find his name anywhere on the teamsheets (from other sources - obviously our own site doesn't seem to bother...)

Ismael can show his open & honesty and tell us the time scale. He loves his honesty doesn’t he!

You'll notice I used the word "if". It's contextual as in it applies in the case that he does need surgery and is out for a third of the season.

I can't be bothered going back through pages and pages, but what do you think we need in terms of incomings? think you said you expect two today, what positions would you like addressed?

[Roverthechimp]

So Pears played a preseason friendly for U21 - does that actually count as a "competitive match" (legally)?

(yes tinfoil hat on - too many weird situations at our club regarding so called injuries during the last 15 years)

[BRFC.]

Should have tried for him

He did address this in his pre-match interview. Confirmed that Baradji came with an existing injury and was going to be assessed this week. So basically they don't know the time scale yet.

I just looked at the relegation team from 16/17 and a an injury to Tronstad puts us very much in the realms of Hope Akpan, Jason Lowe and Danny Guthrie

no, it is a friendly, and therefore by definition, not competitive (legally or otherwise)

Least we had a proven goalscorer (Graham) haven’t got one now

One  can only guess , fit by Xmas transferred to a foreign club in mid January 26 for an undisclosed fee ?

It is absolutely disgusting , that these cretins are allowed to run the club !

I didn't include him as I was putting him in the Tronstad boat of being decent (albeit fleetingly and very injury prone). Trying to make my point about the lack of quality we have now (and then) if our sole decent midfielder gets injured

Ryan Nelsen was a classic but yes plenty of odd ones.

What is Danny Graham up to these days? I'd wager he could find the net more often than our current set of chumps.

Has he stopped harrassing folk in public now?
