2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

[Polky]

Could you imagine if we sold Hyam and didn’t get a replacement in.

It would be possible that our starting centre backs for Watford away would be Wharton and Atchenson 🤣

The pattern of the board has been to sell players this summer who aren't signing contract renewals. I expect the same to happen with Hyam.

We need to pull a rabbit out of the hat to get a solid replacement in within the next few hours if that's the case. Throw money at Kapuadi, perhaps?

Kapaudi wont get ESC?

I wonder if there will be a future fee based on appearances or similar that sees them skirt around signing players for a fee

Sell on fees are the only financial commitments a club is allowed to make whilst under a fee restriction.

To be fair, I thought youd be buzzing that we might sell Hyam!

Selling him without replacing him at this stage would be lunacy.

Id have been all for replacing him with someone better earlier in the window, but, logistically, what can we do now before 7p.m.?

[aletheia]

Hyam -it's an interesting one if there is anything in it. Will Pasha push for more? Will Wrexham go above 2m? Will Pasha snap their hands off? 

[rob_of_the_rovers]

When you expect nothing and still end up disappointed 

[Giant]

The window shutting at 7pm doesn’t give much time for manoeuvre, both selling and getting new players in.

[roverandout]

I'd have been for selling hyam if we had kept Danny batth. Who I thought was the better of the two

[Lancaster Rover]

if Wrexham have genuinely offered 2m he's as good as gone, Pasha will class it as a good fee recouped. They will believe they can get by with Miller at CB alongside McLoughlin. If it weren't all so predictable it would be funny

Derby signed Diaz as well now fuck me, when they come to ewood it will be like rovers v rovers. Strange.

Bizarre that the away team for our 150 anniversary match will probably have more starts for Rovers than Rovers and their manager will have accrued more points for Rovers than our manager coach

Wonder if David Lowe will be there...

[Mike E]

Should now be going all out for a cb and midfielder on loan/free

I’d like to see us try for Browne and a returning James Hill.

They would stick Miller there.

Part of me wonders if that has always been the plan. Miller didnt sign here to sit on the bench.

Montgomery to be used as back up right back and midfield.

Instead, we're on the verge of having lost both of them. We're left with two injury-prone options and our 'experienced' Championship buy of the summer has just been sent off for a terrible call on his part.

[aletheia]

Thread's hotter than an agent's phone..

[Fraserkirky]

I think Hyam is a below average championship CB, but to sell him now with nothing lined up is lunacy

Ringing any bells from december during JDTs second season...

Though i expect a back 3 with Miller Wharton and Pickering (provided Wharton doesn't pick up an injury in training)

[BRFC.]

The club are lucky it’s Wrexham so they can use the narrative about Wrexham’s money, I don’t care it’s an absolute shambolic decision on deadline day.

Agreed, last season, although with Batth you've always got the gamble of "Is this the season where his legs finally go" etc.

Would have been fine to retain both or retain Batth and upgrade on Hyam.

IF Hyam goes that'd be the entire back line from last season wiped out.

Beck/Hyam/Batth/Brittain.

If Carlsberg did plans to get a Club relegated..........

Unless the clubs loaning out take a hefty hit on wage contribution then the likes of those guys won't be coming here. Expect untested PL kids or unknowns from abroad (at best).

Would love Hill back but I just don't see that one happening

Planned? We could do nothing about it? (Thinking they have enough with Miller etc)

Nah, what I'm saying is I wouldn't have been against it if they were going at least use some of the funds to strengthen elsewhere like up front... Because we have cover at CB. 

 

I get you're frustrated, we've won 1 in 4 but at least try to see what people are saying. We can't keep letting millions of pounds worth of players walk out the door every season. What I'm saying is it's too late to reinvest it anyway. 

Oh I didn’t mean it towards you pal, I’m just fed up and I feel that way mate.
