Summer 2024 transfer window thread.

[Jd132]

I don't think we will do lots as the club will be loathe to add too much to the wage bill or amortised transfer spending given the aim of getting them both around 70% of turnover.

The only genuine glaring issues are 1) Doyle signing 2) Semedo having 1 year left on his contract and 3) Having a no9 that GON trusts.

We have chips on the table- Guedes, Fabio, Podence, Hoever, Cundle, Lembikisa, Chiquinho et al. As long as we get their amortised fees and wages off the bill plus have a small kitty, we can deal with the glaring issues and look forward to another decent season.

I know he's injured but, as an example, Rafiu Durosinmi, Rodrigo Gomes and Tommy Doyle on a permanent would be enough. Invest anything left over in new deals for our stars.

Thanks for doing this. I can't see a summer where Neto stays sadly.

 

[Aurum Lupus]

We dropped a massive ******* not signing Gyokeres for £17m.

Not sure if loan to buy was an option to get round FFP

Apart from the fact it looks like that would have put us in the same position as Everton and Forest now. We never had £17m available in the summer, so as much as we'd love to have Gyokeres here, it wasn't feasible, so is pointless lamenting over.

 

[Jd132]

But, that will only be if we want to do it, not because we need to do it. It is not actually an issue, just an opportunity we may take should it arise.

And that is simply what GON has already said too - Bad news Arsenal and Spurs in Neto hunt as O'Neil reveals Wolves transfer stance.

 

[el gringo]

Rodrigo Muniz look useful. Would be good to have strength like that in the CF position. A transfer between two fairly even clubs though - not a usual occurrence, I think.

I mentioned him in 2022 people said rubbish championship striker that brighton didn’t want so why would be interested?

Funny some players have to drop down a little to force their way back up to me that shows quality and desire

Make no mistake, if we are going into next season with Hwang as our first option up front then we will have had another bad window.

That's why I suggested having a number 9 who Gary trusts as being one of the three glaring issues facing the squad...

You mentioned 10,000 players every window....it's inevitable you might get some right......we won't mention the 9998 who are crap.....

22/23 accounted for a lot more higher salaried players - Raul, Mouts, Adama, Collins, Nunes etc and the likes of Guedes, Silva, Podence also better paid had full if not half year salaries met elsewhere, as they will for 23/24 accounting purposes. This is also another important consideration as their replacements and future signings will be lower earners, but incentivised so they can increase potential earnings which are accounted for in merit payments (2.8m per place - 1.0m per place for bonuses).

 

[wolfgar]

I think whatever happens this summer we need to add a couple on top of any outgoings. Too many times this season I’ve looked at our bench in comparison to our opponents and sighed a bit. Its great to involve young players, but you do need some depth within your squad? At 2-0 down and with neto going off yesterday it was game over really. The players looked absolutely knackered on Weds, and you could see this result coming.

The likelihood is that we will make at least one big sale, most likely Neto, for a sizeable fee. If it happens then a couple of attackers need to come in. A winger to replace him (saw Zaha linked earlier which wouldn’t be a terrible stop gap, but would seem unlikely) and a 9?

My feeling is we could also see a new GK, RB and CM coming in (perhaps with Traore going out on loan), with Mosquera also coming back? I was saying the other day I could perhaps see us signing Rodrigo Gomes and picking up Brownhill on a free for example? The likes of Hoever, Cundle and Chiquinho I think we might well move on?

Have a feeling we might also see a slightly surprising departure, like Hugo Bueno?

 

[hollo]

I want younger players with no acl or hamstring history.

You will struggle finding a footballer with demands of the modern game in terms of work load without hammy issues.....them dropping like flies across the board, not just at us ...

 

[wwbug]

Because we wont spend much new money - it will probably be Neto out and £5 - £7 million on a replacement , £30 million on a central striker and some bits an pieces.

I agree, everything except Durosinmi, prefer someone younger and injury free. Yuri Alberto looked the part, if only he could ditch his money grabbing agent.

 

[OLDGOLD]

Need to move on from Podence and Guedes.

I can't see them in our future either.

[hollo]

We pray that Guedes has a goal involvement today. We need to fatten the calf to sell in the summer.

 

[Mugwump]

Really? Never wanted to be here, still won't. Needs flogging.

Never hid the fact i think Guedes is a quality player. He's literally what we want in a forward player with this system but i agree, we need to move him on. I dont get why we pushed so much for a player who didnt want to be here.

For all the stick he gets as well, he might have thought he could settle here and he just didnt. I just dont think if that is the case its been communicated very well, he does look like a players who doesnt want to be here.

Il remember Whittaker another one you wrote off…. If we got no money we have to be competitive you and others forgot that part.

Funny enough when Bournemouth went down Solanke wasn’t rated by yourself either.

Then again we’ve had a striker issue for a long time now

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Time to move on.

I’ve toyed with starting this a few times but after creating the Summer 2023 behemoth, I thought better of it.

Jack I wish your baby a bright and fruitful spring and summer, may it find it’s legs early and start to walk tall and proud come July.

You will have sleepless nights as you watch it stumble and fall on occasions and there will be other thread starters that will be overly critical at times. Try and rise above and take the knocks on the chin.

I felt the need to apologise last September, but things haven’t turned out that bad after all. I have hope and optimism for your Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread, and good luck to all that sail on her.

You said he was going Lazio..... nobody else in the premier league signed him did they...

You carry on ....I just tend to stick to players we are actually linked with....or at least half linked with...

Can't see the point mentioning the likes of say Welbeck when he hasn't even left Brighton on a free yet .....or endless players who score a goal for someone lower down the league ..That's all......ignore me though , you carry on.....

Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments VP, they are much appreciated. I notice that one totally unnecessary comment has now been removed. We are far beyond the January transfer window and the rumours circulating now relate to the next window. I doubt that many are miffed by my starting the summer thread but, if they are then I won't be losing any sleep over it. God bless you all!

True.
However the problem lies in the fact that people are interested in what a thread title says (ie summer transfers) but get exasperated at a hundred pages about relatively irrelevant stuff! Which partially happens in the transfer thread when it is stated 3 months before the window even opens!!!

What’s the point they constantly mess us around hoping for more money or another club to come in. Better off finding clubs that are happy to deal not constantly drag out the negotiations. We got lucky with Joao Gomes he wanted to come here

Will we go back in for him? Not sure. An interesting situation. As they are going to be relegated

Ram some corn down him, that'll do the trick

Wellbeck would start every game for us, a very underrated footballer

Good player, intelligent would fit well I think.

Not to mention losing six in Pedro's price!

Selling players, some of them experienced internationals, at fire sale prices and paying top dollar for potential rarely ends well.

I could maybe see Ait-Nouri or Semedo being sold either this or next season. More so Semedo with only 1 year left on his current deal.

Mosquera, Lembikisa, Chiquinho back in the match day squad integrated into the first team.

Bulka
Doughty Mosquera (Kilman / Toti) RAN
Gomes Lemina Doyle
Clarke Adebayo Rowe

(Cunha & Hwang)

One very strong squad
