Summer Transfer Window 2026

[Mouse]

I'm sure its 11pm and you have 2hrs BBC useless these days.

It’s as you say according to the BBC

[bigmanbob]

They just said on sky that getting the deal sheets in by 11 gives you until 1 to get the remaining paperwork done

It’s meditative and I need some of that right now.

Used to have very much the opposite effect on me. Mostly because I was shit at it.

The trick is to be ok with being shit at it and just try and enjoy it.

It's a bit like watching Everton.

Like Everton and transfer windows, but with more Gandalf.

Am I the only blue who is quite happy with the deals we've done both in and out.

Patterson, Iroegbunam, Beto all on the verges of the squad, not going to get much playing time. If they can get Ainsley Maitland Niles and Balogun over the line for me it improves the squad. We will have decent options in midfield, wide forwards and striker. Only area we are short in is defence and then only at full back. We have enough in central defence and potentially some cover in fullback area

That two letter word doing a lot of heavy lifting right now !!

I've no problems with the outs. Its the lack of replacements that is the concern. We were a squad that needed strengthening, even according to the manager, and somehow, currently, we are coming out of this long window weaker.

As someone pointed out earlier, we have more stadiums on our books than fullbacks. We have 1 striker in Barry, and we have lost our one truly exceptionally technical attacking player.

I'm very surprised Alcaraz is still here

Indeed but I'm not flapping, it was always going to be right down to the wire for us.

Btw my son and youngest daughter both into Warhammer, son in particular spent £300 on an airbrush for painting his warhammer

[weimaranerblues]

Well that's it Closed,

Deal sheets IN ,?

Myers just now no mention of AMN

Monaco just pulled the plug on the Camara deal to Chelsea

I remember when £300 would by you three 2000 point armies and a full paint set. You need a mortgage now to be into Warhammer

I remember an article (in an actual paper magazine!) Where they spent £25 a month on stuff and being blown away people could spend that much

This feels like the most bonkers deadline day for us in a while.

What a strange window overall though. The fullback situation (now including left back) is straight up bizarre. I guess we were never considering Aznou in the mix but it seems we got weaker there somehow with him leaving on loan.

I don't really know how good AMN is at this point. So yeah, may well end up with a lot of Garner/Rohl/CBs pushed wide at times. I completely forgot about Tete...seems that fell through again, which is kinda funny in it's own way. Clearly though waiting for someone like Doue isn't the blueprint...maybe they've finally learnt that lesson?

Losing Ndiaye still kinda sucks, his workrate and ability to drag us up the pitch is a miss and it's be a challenge for others to step up and fill that void. I suppose truth be told, if Dibling and George are to kick on then they need playing time which this does give them.
