I'm expecting we get a real marquee signing or two this summer. Dropping down a league for a year (although I can't see us getting promoted again) isn't the worst sell for the long term project. Should be an interesting summer reshaping the squad.

It's been coming. Great hit.

Very highly rated Arsenal youth player that's out of contract. Amario Cozier-Duberry (Michaels son). We have been tipped to be signing him. Been linked for a month or so to us with the usual "set to sign" bollocks. However, appears more likely we are just being used as leverage for a better deal at Arsenal. They didn't name him on their list of releases as they are desperate to keep him. https://sg.news.yahoo.com/arsenal-amario-cozier-duberry-attracting-112742399.html Totally not Michaels son BTW.

Madueke on a loan to buy would be perfect. Then get Jonathan David please. Olise would obviously be good, but could well be smoke an mirrors for a Nico Williams approach though. Very dubious rumour that Roma need to cash in on Tammy Abraham and might take 20m. Kelechi Iheanacho was linked yesterday or so in the mirror, on a free. Could see someone like that coming in for depth and back up whether we sell Wilson or not.

Signing a kid from Pompey: https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/wolves-and-newcastle-in-summer-transfer-swoops-for-highly-regarded-portsmouth-academy-pair-4661216 14 year old Central midfielder CJ Afumuzor More info here: https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2024/06/11/exclusive-newcastle-to-sign-cj-afumuzor-after-rival-interest-from-man-utd-and-aston-villa/

They will just buy Giorgi Mamardashvili. $40m spread over 40 years.

I'm fine with this. Good competition for Pope, good learning path for Trafford if he is willing to sit on the bench. He is more likely to do that than Ramsdale or Mamardashvili would be. Hopefully we get it sorted for 17m and add on's

Exactly. Why can't we just sell the untalented to Saudi for a ton of money?

Would love him back. Legend. We would probably be equally as frustrated with some if his decision making if he did return as before he left!

Either way we will only be getting players that want to be here for the right reasons. More annoyed at myself falling for yet another "nailed on" signing when they predictably ends up elsewhere.

I thought he played as a second striker too? Although I get where your coming from. I don't think MGW is the fall back striker or out and out winger we need. He would certainly offer us something different through the middle though.

Well this is dissapointing news if true. Really wanted Tosin and far more than Kelly. Money talks.

Either way that's a bonus for me. I didn't think it was open until July 1st. Woop woop.

Given his injury history 3 years is smart, if it's true.

Big surprised to see Gayle off so quick. It's sad to see so many leave but I don't appose the ruthless nature. I'm excited for who comes in. I think they will go for it this year again and being a league apart we can't start attracting a top league player or two now with our project. The turnover was unfortunately necessary. Another tough ask to yet essentially a new team to gel. I can't believe we will get promoted this year again but not getting relegated will be key!

Good luck to him.

Like dummett he has been a good servant to the club. Best of luck to him finishing out his career.

Sad day but best for business. Wishing Paul all the best. Great servant to the club.

It's more a question of if we can upgrade on them within budget of what else we want to do. Lloyd Kelly is already a dummett replacement and massive upgrade imo if we get him. There was talking of having them be gate keepers helping with the reserves but that never happened from what I can tell. They are just added expense for little return. It's a no brainer to upgrade if we can.

Absolute piffle. We have new deals for Dummett and Ritchie ready to get signed. We got this!

Great finish and run. Acres of space. Poor from Leeds.

Near a dozen games when let slip. Is what it is. Looking forward to the gloating online and renewed Ashworth "banter" from Manure fans. They deserved the win today. Man City were rubbish. I found it hard not to smirk at the call back moment with Fergie shown checking his watch.

Can we just change it to the "we can't have nice things" thread.
