I see Sean Longstaff going to Leeds, another player we were linked with?
Rob Halligan
2 Posted 08/07/2025 at 09:07:25
John McGinn of Aston Villa is the latest player being linked with us.
Rob Halligan
3 Posted 08/07/2025 at 13:37:09
Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers now being linked.

Andrew, just hope it’s all above board. 🤞🤞

Phil Roberts
4 Posted 08/07/2025 at 16:38:01
Tyler Onyango's contract ended 8 days ago and he's still listed on the official site.

Staying? Going? Thoughts.
Andrew Ellams
5 Posted 08/07/2025 at 17:39:43
Onyango is a lower league player, Phil.

Good luck to him but he's not going to make it at the top
Neil Copeland
6 Posted 08/07/2025 at 17:46:44
Sky are reporting that we are interested in John McGinn.
Kieran Kinsella
7 Posted 08/07/2025 at 18:09:51
Rob

McGinn is a weird link. Regular for Villa, aged 30 can't imagine they'd make a huge profit on selling him.

BBC say they don't want to sell but we are offering a bid. Good player.

Robert Tressell
8 Posted 08/07/2025 at 18:24:40
McGinn is presumably a made up link.
Joe McMahon
9 Posted 08/07/2025 at 18:42:10
I've been disappointed when I've see McGinn. If we went for a 30-year-old I'd prefer Jack Grealish from Man City.

The Harrison rumour is on social media again. I hope it doesn't happen.
Ryan Holroyd
10 Posted 08/07/2025 at 18:47:25
The Athletic and the BBC haven't made up the link for McGinn.
Colin Glassar
11 Posted 08/07/2025 at 18:55:58
The last, fat little Scot we had was McGeady, so it's a no for me.

McGinn is okay but no thanks.

Kieran Kinsella
12 Posted 08/07/2025 at 19:47:47
Colin

John Collins was another one of similar stature. He didn't work out too well
Sean Kelly
13 Posted 08/07/2025 at 19:53:18
Wonder when we are going to have enough green shield stamps for all these players we are linked with. It appears that TFG have ver short arms but very deep pockets
Robert Tressell
14 Posted 08/07/2025 at 19:54:20
Whatever the case, it is starting to look like Everton are in the hunt for a central midfielder with a bit of experience - because the rumours have gone from O'Riley to Gallagher to McGinn. We may soon shift attention to the most likely of all (due to being surplus to requirements) - Dewsbury-Hall.
Danny O'Neill
15 Posted 08/07/2025 at 19:54:44
It is a link and rumour, but I'm not sure what the "link" between McGeady and McGinn is Colin.

"Mc" and born in Scotland, although McGeady played for Ireland.

But very different players in different positions.

McGinn has been very effective for Villa and a leader on the pitch.

I doubt there will be much in this, but I wouldn't turn my nose up.
Sam Hoare
16 Posted 08/07/2025 at 20:00:38
Robert@14 or Josh Brownhill?
Ryan Holroyd
17 Posted 08/07/2025 at 20:06:52
Dewsbury-Hall has totally different profile to mcginn, Gallagher
Ryan Holroyd
18 Posted 08/07/2025 at 20:09:01
‘ Wonder when we are going to have enough green shield stamps for all these players we are linked with. It appears that TFG have ver short arms but very deep pockets’


We’re just about to buy a French under 21 international for 28m

But don’t let an uneducated rant get in the way of facts
Sean Kelly
19 Posted 08/07/2025 at 20:42:09
Is it done yet Ryan…..er no but when it is I will be glad he’s one of ours. Uneducated? Rant? Get a grip lad.
Mark Murphy
20 Posted 08/07/2025 at 20:44:53
McGinn is a cracking player. It’s a yes from me!
Ryan Holroyd
21 Posted 08/07/2025 at 20:55:21
It’ll be done after his medical which started today Sean
Stu Darlington
22 Posted 08/07/2025 at 20:58:22
Club is allegedly in talks with Man City about McAtee.
No chance,he’s going to the Bundesliga for Champions League football.
Next piece of pie in the sky please!!
Tommy Carter
23 Posted 08/07/2025 at 21:19:07
I’ve never understood the hype on McGinn. He’s not for me and I would be happy for this to pass us by
Tommy Carter
24 Posted 08/07/2025 at 21:21:41
Chelsea are the team to target for purchases.

Chilwell would improve our starting XI.
Ryan Holroyd
25 Posted 08/07/2025 at 21:42:25
Chilwell lost 100 games through injury in 4 years, apparently earns £200k a week and is 29 in December.

Absolutely no chance we will sign him.
Don Alexander
26 Posted 08/07/2025 at 21:48:38
Sean (various), I agree with you.

25-20 years ago £30M bought you top top players - nowadays it doesn't.

Of course players costing less than that can come good and more (just as players costing way more can turn out to be flops), but purely on account of Dumb and Dumber's mismanagement, Green Shield Stamps are a commodity still very much cherished in our boardroom cos we're still financial also-rans at best, if we get lucky, again.
Ian Bennett
27 Posted 08/07/2025 at 22:20:33
Ryan - Palace signed him on loan, and hes surplus to requirements.

I wouldn't dismiss it. There's far better players than Ben Chilwell have gone to lesser clubs.

Dugary Birmingham
Boksic Boro
Youri Djorkaeff Bolton
Etc
Ryan Holroyd
28 Posted 08/07/2025 at 22:22:11
Stockport County in talks with Everton for Tyler Onyango and Roman Dixon

According to the Bobble

*Speculation the players are already in pre season training with Stockport

About their level I would say
Dale Rose
29 Posted 08/07/2025 at 22:34:49
Maupay ten million, the world has gone fucking mad....
Michael Kenrick
30 Posted 08/07/2025 at 22:41:32
Dale,

I've just read that Andy Hunter says it was more like £3.4M, and he might be closer to the truth as he writes for The Guardian.

Still, of all our departees, he's the only one we're getting any kind of money for.

Dale Rose
31 Posted 08/07/2025 at 23:01:45
Overpriced at that Michael....
Laurie Hartley
32 Posted 09/07/2025 at 02:23:42
Out of all the players named by Michael if I could only pick 1 it would be Tom Fellows.
Rob Halligan
33 Posted 09/07/2025 at 08:47:10
Stu # 22……in that case why doesn’t McAtee just stay at Man City who have qualified for champions league football, and why is Thierno Barry on the verge of joining us, as he could have stayed at Villarreal who have also qualified for champions league football.
Stu Darlington
34 Posted 09/07/2025 at 09:19:53
Rob@34
I guess the issue is playing time.Guardiola doesn’t seem to rate him too highly whereas he could be a regular starter at one of the Bundesliga clubs.
As for Barry,my understanding was that he wanted to prove himself in the Premier League,maybe that was the trigger?
Jack Convery
35 Posted 09/07/2025 at 09:37:14
Another name has appeared this morning. DF midfielder from M'boro. Hayden Hackney is his name. Are the TFG ordering a Taxi for the Moyesiah ?
Ian Jones
36 Posted 09/07/2025 at 09:45:18
Been reading on some website that Barry has said his goodbyes to Villareal on his Instagram and one of the comments in response was that he'll love it at Fulham! Good to have a sense of humour.
Jay Harris
37 Posted 09/07/2025 at 16:26:10
I think the link with McGinn was based on Allen Stubbs recommendation to Moyes a couple of years ago.

Mcginn looked a real player but did fade a bit towards the end of the season and of course he is competing with Onana for his place.

I would be shocked if that rumour has any legs.

In fact I think we have been associated with a record number of players this window which shows the level of click / bait these days.
Phil Roberts
38 Posted 10/07/2025 at 11:48:56
United are looking at Holgate.
John Keating
39 Posted 10/07/2025 at 12:32:04
Not on my radar but just read Arsenal sign Norgaard from Brentford. Good on him and both clubs.

However, it seems he's “emotional” because next season he will stand and hear the Champions League Anthem!!!
Unbelievable!
Rob Williamson
40 Posted 10/07/2025 at 12:43:22
Henderson leaving Ajax.

We wouldn't… would we??
Derek Knox
41 Posted 10/07/2025 at 12:53:43
John, yes he was one that was touted (allegedly) to be ideal for us on a 'free' needless to say, he has gone elsewhere. Interesting to see if he plays a part with Arsenal, or becomes a bench warmer/squad filler?

His hearing of the Champion's League Anthem, may be from the bench or the stands!
Rob Halligan
42 Posted 10/07/2025 at 13:32:24
Christian Norgaard has left Brentford for Arsenal.

Should they lose Mbuemo and Wissa, which is very likely, then I can see Brentford plummeting down the Premier League straight into the Championship.

The biggest blow for them was Thomas Frank leaving for Spuds, and him being replaced by a complete novice in Keith Andrews.
Danny O'Neill
43 Posted 10/07/2025 at 13:44:53
I've been saying that since the news broke, Rob.

Unlike Brighton, who themselves have hit their ceiling, Brentford was built around Frank. And he has taken 4 of his coaching staff with him.

Certainly going to be interesting to see how they adapt with the loss of Frank and key players.

Andrew Ellams
44 Posted 10/07/2025 at 13:46:32
Derek,

With a midfield of Rice, Odegaard and Zubamendi, I don't think he'll see too many starts.
Ryan Holroyd
45 Posted 10/07/2025 at 14:40:51
Evan Ferguson to a TFG-controlled football club, apparently.
Dennis Stevens
46 Posted 10/07/2025 at 14:50:20
On loan, Ryan?
Andrew Ellams
47 Posted 10/07/2025 at 15:15:43
It's Roma isn't it Ryan?
Ryan Holroyd
48 Posted 10/07/2025 at 15:23:04
Roma apparently want him on loan
Phil (Kelsall) Roberts
49 Posted 10/07/2025 at 15:36:29
BTW - I was joking about Holgate, but you knew that.

Another released without notice is I suspect Onyango.

Derek Knox
50 Posted 10/07/2025 at 15:44:30
Rob @ 42, remember the old TV Ad, take Andrews for Inner Cleanliness!

Also recommended for a hangover, which Brentford may have, losing Thomas Frank and most of their best players.
Liam Mogan
51 Posted 10/07/2025 at 17:18:49
£60M Spurs have bid for Gibbs-White.

Decent player but a hell of a lot of money.
Andrew Ellams
52 Posted 10/07/2025 at 17:21:11
He cost £45M, Liam, and has improved a lot.

Forest will struggle next season if they don't spend their incoming money for him and Elanga well.
Liam Mogan
53 Posted 10/07/2025 at 17:24:58
He's a good player, Andrew.

Just shows the market is insane, especially for English players. It'll be a long while (if ever) before we are paying those type of fees.
Ed Prytherch
54 Posted 10/07/2025 at 17:26:29
Spurs will be overloaded with attacking players. They most likely will be selling or loaning some.

I would not mind Richarlison on loan.
Ryan Holroyd
55 Posted 10/07/2025 at 17:27:27
You gotta pay for quality.

Forest will replace both of them.

They have a great recuruitment team.
Ryan Holroyd
56 Posted 10/07/2025 at 17:29:38
Mark Travers to Everton: £5M.

Ryan Holroyd
57 Posted 10/07/2025 at 17:31:08
Gibbs-White has a release clause of £60M.
Ian Bennett
58 Posted 10/07/2025 at 18:06:45
Kudus and Gibbs-White — £115M for the pair.

If they'd only spend another 10p on the defence and keeper.
Ryan Holroyd
59 Posted 10/07/2025 at 18:14:49
Everton are so far behind.

Some of our fans get a nosebleed if we have more than one centre-forward.
Martin Berry
60 Posted 10/07/2025 at 18:21:09
I am so pleased we have David Moyes at the helm with regards to transfers; I expect him to be very shrewd in the way he spends what we have.

Throwing £50M+ around on players does not always work; Man Utd as a prime example.

I would like to think we have players in mind who fit the way we want to play. They don't always have to be mega expensive to be very effective. The 1985 team we had is a prime example.
Andrew Ellams
61 Posted 10/07/2025 at 18:33:21
Ed, I think Son and Richarlison will both move on now.

Be interesting to see how they accommodate Gibbs-White and Maddison though.
Mike Gaynes
62 Posted 10/07/2025 at 23:56:57
Paddy Boyland says Moyes is after Mark Travers of Bournemouth as his new backup keeper.

Boyland has been uncommonly accurate -- he called out Barry as a possible target months ago -- so I'd take this one seriously.

And Gazzetta Dello Sport, more reliable than most, has joined the parade of media reporting our pursuit of Douglas Luiz.

Steve Brown
63 Posted 11/07/2025 at 03:30:58
Mike,

I agree, Paddy Boyland has always been accurate and early. Despite the scepticism of "Darren/Dave/Colin".

Rob Halligan
64 Posted 11/07/2025 at 13:43:44
Forest are considering legal action against Spurs as they think Spurs have made an illegal approach for Gibbs-White without Forests permission. For now the deal is off and Forest have suspended all communication with Spurs.

Good on Forest!
Paul Hewitt
65 Posted 11/07/2025 at 14:08:48
If I where spurs I'd tell forest the deal is off permanently. Then forest have one very unhappy player.
Ian Bennett
66 Posted 11/07/2025 at 21:41:11
Wesley Franca still being linked.
