Summer Transfers 2025 (rumours and incomings)

Our current No 2, Matt Turner is on Loan until the end of this season.
It is the model of plausibility that he will depart and Joe Whitworth installed as back-up to Henderson.
Time will tell.

Goodman over Whitworth for me. Whilst both had good seasons, physically Goodman looks better equipped for premier league. Like to see Whitworth have season in the championship and see if he can kick on further

Why to people want big physical keepers? Clubs don't. Henderson, maybe tall(ish), but he is very slim, in other words, agile, athletic. Look at most keepers around, well apart from Onana, they are generally the same.

Yes, Goodman is 'bigger' than Whitworth, but, is not as agile(imo) & yes, I I have watched both. I hope both go back out on loan next season in a higher league. Both will not benefit being our non playing No3.

Give me JP any day ahead of Rashford. JP is not only a great striker who scored a great goal yesterday but also he is the power of Palace. Whatever we may be thinking for Rashford just give it to JP when the time comes. Simple.

We wouldn't pay his extortionate wages. He is one of the best players around on his day but he's too inconsistent (and also too injury prone). I think with Doucoure and Riad coming back for next season, we look strong if we can keep everyone. I hope we go back for Hadji-Diouff (or whatever his name is) again and maybe a back-up right back too.

Much has been made by Glasner of the closeness of our group of players ,that they all look after each other . Rashford , decent enough player that he is when he wants to be would ruin all that . He has the potential of turning a club challenging for Europe into relegation candidates ,if he can do it at Man poo he can do it anywhere , its why they bombed him out .

I don't want him unless he's had an attitude transplant.
I will say, however, I agreed with his school meal stuff. But that's an aside.

We have seen the resurgence of importance of set plays recently. The better keepers can dominate physically or at least hold their own. When I have seen Whitworth struggles on that front.

I am not saying we need a monster in goal but a 6 foot keeper is small nowadays
 
We need a left back who can actually cross the ball and doesn’t panic every time he crosses the halfway line. Ty is a great defender, but to get to the next level we need another Munoz
