Summer Transfers 2025 (rumours and incomings)

[silvertop]

I concur with these sentiments.

Harrison Burrows of Sheff Utd is a player with these attributes but might not be available if the club are promoted.
A player who provides energy and dynamism, good delivery at set-pieces and from wide areas.He provides a real threat coming forward from the left flank.
Just 23 with nearly 200 games to his name.

Interesting.

If the Blades win we go for Bellingham

If the Mackems win we go for Burrows.

The Palace way.

The Palace way.

His favourite role is as a box-to-box midfielder where he believes his future lies.
Played as a striker at youth level and has played as a central striker at senior level.
He has actually played in a few positions at Sunderland.

I was thinking more of sydy peck from sheff utd.

 

[Caterham]

Papers are now full of it.

Let's be honest, he's STILL rapid and he can really finish, he's just too old to last out a whole game

Obvs Vardy has had a wonderful time with Leicester & he probably could still do a job for someone (Wrexham really is a good shout) I would have thought that OG, his European contacts & Palace network could come up with something / someone a bit more in line with the current business model.

Vardy is looking for a payday probably to top up his money thanks to his wife not being able to say sorry.

Looking at the Foxes site the views about him are mixed. A lot of love for what the player has done but a recognition that he is not that player any more. Basically they were moaning about him being picked this season when he wasn't scoring.

I’ve watched a bit of Sunderland this season and , although Bellingham is an impressive physical athlete, I think his midfield partner Dan Neil is the better footballer.
Chris Rigg also is a young talent, but perhaps not ready for the step up at this stage.

I have been impressed with Sydie Peck.
He is aggressive and demanding of players around him. I am led to believe he even kicks players in training !
He possesses good passing ability.

I garland your comments with approbation.
Neil's teammate Luke O'Nien has referred to him as a 'Glider' because of the way he goes past players and in this respect he reminds him of Eze.

Presumably wondering why he was being picked ahead of Edouard! He'll be back, of course, and presumably they will try and shift him but, if not, he becomes the third striker.

If we want to push on, other than replacing as best we can players that leave, then left wing-back is the position most in need of upgrade. It is such a key position in the system and clearly there is a big gap in talent between Mitchell and Munoz. I have no quarrels with his effort - he was in a position to shoot if the ball that Eze scored from in the final had been behind him - but he has not got the engine or crossing/shooting ability of the Colombian
He could still be a significant squad member as a sub/cup games/backup at LCB.
I would go for the best that money can buy but have no idea who that could be. There was talk of a lad playing in Turkey during the last window but he was very young and probably not the standard to displace Mitchell immediately

I think El Hadji Diouf, from Slavia Prague is the one that was wanted in the last window, sounds the perfect player, rumours are that Liverpool are interested

Who would choose them over us?

I though Devenny played very well in the second half against Wolves in the centre, to me he is not far from pushing for the role of partnering Wharton

Everyone 🤣

I've not seen enough of him to form a firm opinion.
I like his weight of pass, support play and determination though.
It's noteworthy though that the club only gave him a 2 year extension which is not what you would expect from the club if it has absolute faith in his ability to become a first team fixture .
Four or five years would be the norm.

If we keep the same midfield options (and add as well) it may make sense for him to go on loan to gain experience.

 

[Lanzo-Ad]

I know it is only Clickbait linking him with us, but, Martin Baturina of Dinamo Zagreb looks a hell of a player at 22, and he has no agent, Relatives 😎

From what Ive seen of Bellingham he has an attitude problem not far removed from that of his older sibling . Being a big head is maybe welcomed at Madrid but I dont think it will go down too well in South Norwood .

Whoever is taking on the Doogie role needs to go through any prospective targets with a fine tooth comb ,their character is as important as their ability ,we dont want no rotten apples upsetting the CUP winners cart

Like what Parish was saying about integrating two players max into the team. That seems wise. Otherwise we risk disruption. And the truth is, we don't need THAT much strengthening. All signs point towards Esse being a top player...we may get a tune out of Franca yet...Kamada might actually prove useful next year...and even then that still involves two of Wharton/Hughes/Lerma/Devenny sitting on the bench.

Up top Nketiah is probably the best back up we're going to find to Mateta. Defensively I'd be tempted to make Chillwell's loan perm if we can compromise on the numbers...we'll have Riad back...happy days.

Of course if we lose players, things change. But fingers crossed.

OG will soon bench them if they piss him off I’m sure.

I think kamada more than showed his usefulness twice at wembley!!
