[Albion] BHAFC Summer 2024 Transfer Rumours

[Sid and the Sharknados]

The Webster thing is a bit of a myth - he was perfectly fine when he came back in at the end of the season when we beat Villa & drew with Newcastle

It's vitally important that nobody consider any evidence that contradicts their existing opinions.

Why is anyone worrying about the squad size when we have over 6 weeks of the transfer window still to go? Weird thing to focus on.

Same people who were whining that we hadn't signed a new manager the day after De Zerbi left

I'm disappointed we haven't announced Hurzeler's replacement already.

Where's this constantly touted succession planning?

Yup, he kept England striker Ollie Watkins quiet throughout the Villa match.

You're right that RDZ coached all sort of bravery and risk taking out of Websters game. It turned him from being a good/sometimes great ball playing defender to being a (at best) bang average "normal" defender.

Mondays are painful enough as they are. I'm not really in the mood to spend the day watching clips of us defending under De Zerbi.

How did you find the whole “being a Chelsea follower” thing, during GP’s reign? Was it fun/exciting to be associated with a big club and its rich variety of fans?

It sucked balls and talking to their fans was as shit as watching their games. I celebrated when he was sacked and at that point I hadn't bothered to watch them for a month or so.

FFS.....it's going to Southgate innit.

I’m not surprised their fans don’t seem to be particularly pleasant on the whole..

Not a myth, a tendency that seemed apparent, but maybe no longer applies. To be honest, Dunk took a couple of games to get back up to his level last time he was out for a few games.

35 mill thanks for Simon.

I have no doubts Mr Bloom will want more.

As a minimum, we’d surely want his fee to cover the purchase of Minteh, Osman and ACD?

We’d also be looking at around £30m+ for Groß & Undav?

The summer sales have not started at our player shop but surely our outgoings will start happening soon.

I fully expect the purchase of ACD to be covered by the next purchase of a vegan KitKat.

Edit: or are you referring to the development compensation Arsenal would be entitled to for an out of contract youth player?

Wonder if we are still interested.

Looks like Wet Sham have called this about right, so I would guess 'no'.

Posting this here, as it seems the “thread of best fit” to ask in, is there any sign of an RB/RWB? It feels to me like the only position left in the squad where strengthening for this season is 100% necessary, albeit with CB a possible if Hürzeler doesn’t like what he sees from Webster/Igor.

Slight exaggeration.

Allegedly we are interested in the Turkish RB Karioglu. Could be difficult to snap up though.

Can Soton afford to hold out for £23m given they have a net spend so far of -£38m? Or does this deficit make it all the more important to get a high fee for KWP?

We'll see I guess. The right back market is not very fun this summer (just like last one) and it would most likely need to be someone who firmly pushes Lamptey & Veltman aside. Would not be surprised if we stick with them and Hinshelwood.
