Realistic Transfer Targets (2025/26)


Recommended Posts

If we get into Europe, looking at the squad we only have Longstaff (+ maybe Dummett!) who is over 21 to count as club homegrown. You need up to 4 else you can't register a full 25 man squad. 

 

With us probably losing Dubravka, Gillespie and Darlow in the summer and maybe Karius too I wonder if it'd be worth getting Krul to come in as 3rd choice keeper? He's obviously shit nowadays and has been dropped by Norwich but he'd probably never play and it's a free slot. I'm sure he'd be up for it.

I know you dont have to register under 21's, but im sure you can register them and use them as the homegrown at club quota

I mean you can but that’s totally pointless because they don’t have to be registered in order to play.

 

You don’t have to register 4, it just means you don’t get a full 25 man squad of over 21s if you don’t.

Phillip Billing been mentioned? Stands out anytime I’ve seen him(could be because he’s 6’4) but he’s been Bournemouth’s best player and will have plenty of admirers in the summer. Think we’d be in a good position to sign him.

Ever since he's been pushed further up the pitch as an 8 or 10, he's been incredible getting goals and assists.

 

Wouldn't mind him at all as an option for the number 8 positions, nice that he is left footed as well, as that would be a nice wrinkle to have in there also.

Aye, watching the Bournemouth highlights and he was everywhere. Superb technique, covers every blade of grass and has a devilish strike on him(takes their free kicks ffs). A more robust and athletic Longstaff.

Biilling played under JT at Bournemouth so they'll know lots about him. They probably signed him as someone Eddie wanted. He'd be good cover for the Joes which would be wise as we start playing in Europe and the fixture mount up.

Giovanni Reyna? Not getting a lot of game time this season at Dortmund but still a big talent isn’t he?

Id stay well clear after all the USA drama!

Yeah, his parents seem to be absolute nut jobs.

 

Aside from that he is also very injury prone.

Not 21 until November so won't need to be registered for the season and wouldn't take a slot

Isn't that the point? Homegrown and under 21 so don't take a slot - ideal.  We just don't have enough of these types of players.

Not bothering to put the effort in and train because he wasn’t selected would be a major red flag to Eddie I’d think. There’s a talent there, but just not a good enough character I’d say. Plus the injuries.
