Transfer News and Gossip Transfer Rumours Thread 2024/25 - Time to Cook 👨‍🍳

Yea I agree totally - minor inconvenience selling your best striker, in a squad that has 1 fit striker.

In fact, its blinding business Jedi, dunno what these others are moaning about.

Hope we sell Colin today too, that'll stick it to em!

It’s called football, you should try following it sometime. Honestly you’d think a football club had never lost a player they didn’t want to before.

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

God imagine it's another swap deal like dalby and Hyde?!

I'd take Doidge though! Never happen in a million years.

That’s disappointing. If it’s much less it shows the ineptitude commercially on contracts / clauses. An area for us to improve within. We’ve been dreadful in this regard for as long as I can remember. The amount of money we have left on the table over the years as players go ‘on the cheap’ is staggering. I don’t know what we paid Chorley but there can’t be too much profit in it for a key asset & top scorer with 18 last season. Then the cost of replacing him ..

It really doesn't. Cardwell was going to be out of contract and free to leave. Perhaps the only way he was willing to sign was to have a reasonable (cheap?) sell on clause added.

Yeah but it's the equivelant of united selling the best player to bouremouth because they had to

I'm not particularly worried about losing Cardwell as long as we can get in a replacement. I liked the guy but lets not pretend he was prolific.

It’s more like Everton selling their best player to gather funds to run their club

That maybe but just for arguments sake, Cards may not have signed had the release clause been higher. Contract agreements have to work for both parties and a clause would have to be agreed.

Looool

I didn’t realise Bournemouth have more money than Man U! More like Man City who have a smaller fan base and more money.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Wealdstone announce loan signing of Callum McFarlane from Fulham U21. The 21 year old has 6 in 29 games at U21 level competitions.

 

[hlane17]

Losing our best players to teams like FGR lol how the mighty have fallen

 

[South Bank Hank]

Like it or loathe it, FGR have way more money to spread around than most clubs at this level. Bournemouth don’t have three times the spending power of Man Utd.

 

[Morty01]

Well, I hope that whatever happens, Cards can enjoy a nice steak dinner tonight, his last for a while!

 

[WillMay333]

Can already tell Dackers will be coming in

 

[meerkat54]

Bloody hope we can do better than Dackers .

 

[overseas shrimper]

Bloody hope we can do better than Dackers .

According to a few, it wouldn't matter, so long as it's 'somebody'.

This is the bit that really irks me. They got relegated last season because they didn’t spend enough. Now are spending it like it grows on trees. It’s easier to stay up than get promoted. And they’ve taken one of the two slots for everyone else.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

I really hope we can announce a signing or two this afternoon. We really need something to lift the morale following the last few days. No point complaining, I'm sure that the club are doing everything within their power to make this happen.

They spent plenty last year, they were just a basket case that went through about 5 managers in a season.
