The transfer thread

[Bedfordspurs]

We should be all over this! Superb player, that would be a great fit! Can play across all 3 front positions, but primarily a CF or LW. Can also play as 2nd striker.

Whilst I agree
I’m not 100% sure he has any more to offer than what we may (may) have coming through
I think we need a dead cert signing up front for now
These are the kind of signings I’d like to make in year 3/4 of the project

Apparently he has already turned down Arsenal

If I was raiding RB I’d go for Openda

We seem to have limited leaks quite a bit. Wouldn't trust much of anything unless more reputable sources say something. Just a basis for speculative conversations about who we perhaps should sign.

Can't remember there's been any rumours about any of our recent transfers until right before they've been announced.

Does he have the desire.

He can Doué job

Openda and Sesko would both be high quality.
At first glance I thought Sesko's return last season wasn't all that great until noticed how much he had missed.

In minutes?
Aesop is good
Potentially very good
But he is getting game time
We may have someone with similar potential already but we won’t know
For now we need someone like Toney IMO for at least a few seasons

If i recall correctly we only need 4 club trained players for the UEFA rules so as it stands we have enough. It likely means Skipp cant leave but otherwise I don't see it as a major issue. It might though explain the media links once again to both Edwards and Walker-Peters as both would count as club trained.

We have a lot of youth players. Give them some minutes if required. Show them that there is a pathway to the first team and hopefully some of them do really well.

 

[Chrissivad]

You only need 4, but 2 of those are our 3rd and 4th choice keepers.
Skipp might be looking to move, and Parrott has never been part of the first team squad.

I can see why Edwards, KWP names have cropped up, but they will just be fillers.

I was going to suggest that but I have a slight memory that for the player to be considered club trained they actually need to have been registered for 3 years under the age of 21. So the likes of Mikey Moore or Lankshear couldn't be registered on the list as club trained yet.

No they can't but donley, Dorrington, devine, hall could (i think).

 

[Chrissivad]

Won't they just be included in the b list?

 

[Lilbaz]

Yes. Talkinking about uefa rules. You don't need 4 club trained players in your squad. You'd just limit the size of your squad to say 21 with no club trained rather than 25.

So go with a smaller squad and have some youth.

Lankshear and moore would be fine for prem. No club trained rule though. Just hg. So doesn't matter anyway.

All hail the return of the ‘Mini Messi’.

I thought Poch never utilised Edwards properly. He would have made an effective impact sub against tired defences back then. But he never got a look in.

Now, Edwards is probably akin to Solomon. Definitely can add something and would fill a club trained slot.

Something seems just right about having Destiny and Desire paired for us.

I hope he's not another Ndombele type because then we'll all be clamoring to be freed from Desire.


I'll go get my coat.

Doesn't look like we're in the conversation, which is a shame. Athletic reporting similar. According to their writers Connor Gallagher is very likely. Here's an excerpt from what they call their "DealSheet."

These were the lines that stood out in DealSheet:

• Arsenal’s interest in RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko has the smell of a transfer that is likely to happen. The 21-year-old’s got a release clause worth around £55.3m ($70.8m).
• Manchester United are on the trail of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite (below). He’s also 21 and talented, so they better be prepared to go big.
• Conor Gallagher from Chelsea to Tottenham Hotspur is not going away. If I had to bet my house on one transaction, that would be it.
• This might not strike you as huge news but Ross Barkley of Luton in talks with Aston Villa is a potentially top move for a once highly-rated prospect who lost his way.

I don't think there is a limit to how many under-21 players a club can use. Even if they haven't been with the club for 3 years. The 3-year requirement will only factor into whether their status is "club trained" once they are over 21.

A player may be registered on List B if he is born on, or after, 1 January 2002 and has been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted period of two years since his 15th birthday by the time he is registered with UEFA – or for a total of three consecutive years with a maximum of one loan period to a club from the same association for a period not longer than one year. Players aged 16 may be submitted if they have been registered with the club for the previous two years without interruption.

Each club must include at least two goalkeepers on List A and at least three in total (List A and List B combined).

Clubs are entitled to register an unlimited number of players on List B during the season, but the list needs to be submitted no later than 24:00 CET the day before a match.
