    Good signing - hopefully another 3/4 to come

    I’ve always thought the work is going on diligently being the scenes to get this squad where it needs to be

    Veltman news broke yesterday afternoon & less than 24 hours later he’s official

    Imagine AWB will leave shortly

    Like this move, adds depth and experience at the back both at RB and CB where he can play either position

    Think this is a no brainer signing....
    Experienced and more than capable IMO.

    A good one. I think Brighton fans liked him a lot

    Anyone else seen the report that Dele Alli is training with us?

    We’re supposed to be going for a striker called Parrott, he’s a pretty boy who used to be good at snooker. 😂

    Surely it's got to be a left winger next, the most glaring whole in our squad atm
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Isn't that supposed to be where Manor Solomon literally comes in?
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Except he probably won’t be coming in because Spurs want a bonus payment if we get promoted.

    I think he’s more of a (slightly) left sided midfielder.

    8 comments on the transfer thread. No transfer news. Just an incredibly disappointing set of comments.

    Reminder to all that using the ' made me laugh ' reaction button should only be used for laughing at a joke/ comment intended to be funny.

    If the intention of the poster isn't clear, best to ask for clarification as a lol can come across as ridiculing another's post. Ta!

    I would have offered them 5m if he helps get us promoted, but only if they promise to pay 5m extra for Fernandes if he helps them avoid relegation.

    Few reports from Israeli media that Solomon is close to completing a move

    There is the winger we are missing on the left

    Sure there will be a few more through the door
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    WHU, I hope you are correct.

    Füllkrug transfer falls through at the last minute
    Niclas Füllkrug must continue to wait for his departure from West Ham. According to reports by BILD, the former Germany striker had already reached an agreement with the Italian top-flight club Venezia. However, the transfer collapsed because West Ham demanded an excessive transfer fee.
    It is particularly frustrating for the 33-year-old: he has long since ceased to play a role in the English second-division club's sporting plans. He is currently not training with the squad but is maintaining his fitness individually. The forward did not even take part in the club's official media day.

    From Bild via Google translate.

    Venezia have just paid out a record fee for Sevilla's CF Akor Adams, 10 in 32 last season, 15 caps and 6 goals for Nigeria

    €17m plus €6m add ons = £14.5m plus £5m

    They've also signed Kosovan CF Albion Rrahmani from Sparta Prague for €7.5m plus €2m add ons

    Yes, they've lost both their first choice front two from last season but they aren't going to break the bank for Fullkrug. Our transfer team need a reality check
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    How much were we asking?
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    Did he choose to miss media day or was he simply not invited?
    And yes, how much were we asking?
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    ASLEF, Fullkrug has scored 14 goals in 24 international appearances for Germany! Just because he hasn't had the best of time with us, not all down to him imho, it doesn't mean we should just give him away. When he has played, yes I know too infrequently, he has done ok especially if playing to his strengths.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Fullkrug last appearance for Germany was May 2025, 24 caps and 14 goals might be his final total

    I didn't say we should give him away but if none of the clubs that want him are prepared to meet our demands then he's going to carry on being our 5th highest earner without actually playing. If they want him off the books then they're going to have be realistic and reduce their asking price
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Apologies ASLEF “just give him away” was a figure of speech but we do need to get a reasonable fee for him whatever that might be 👍.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Disturbing rumours that Dele Alli is training with West Ham but thankfully I can't find any actual evidence to support the rumours

    Unfortunately for us re Fullkrug, like everything else in life, an asset is only worth what someone else is prepared to pay.

    My daily driver has 110,000 miles on it and I would like to replace it, the problem is that I know it is well maintained reliable car and I am loath to let it go for what the “market” thinks the car is “worth”

    The car is fully functional and worth more to me than the money I would get for it so I will probably keep it going for a couple of years.

    IMO, The issue with Fullkrug is really no different- the value we need to put on Fullkrug is an assessment on his reliability and what he brings to the team rather than a monetary value based on wishfull thinking.

    If we really do not think he brings anything to the team then we need to cut bait and accept the best offer out there that represents what someone is willing to pay.

    If only we had 110,000 miles out of Fulkrug, he spent most of his time in the garage.
