Summer Silly Season Transfer Thread 2025

[Super Mick]

Asking price for Kevin seems to have dropped, maybe to do with them getting knocked out of CL.

Good spot, although wasn't it Europa League rather than UCL? So now they're in the Conference League, so even less bargaining power.

The transfer team will be pushing every penny they can down until it gets hijacked.

[Angus Telford]

The bickering and sniping continued here just with other people. 🤷

Agreed.

Bump.

Angus and Jay offering light relief at this point.

   Well played!

This thread is an all time classic. 282 pages and one transfer, but on the plus side half the forum has fallen out with the other half!

Who's side are you on??.. 

[I Ronic]

Well if we cannot get new players perhaps we could appoint a new captain,doesn't have to be the best player just a leader of men.Calvin Bassey would be my choice.

Not really a serious or senior enough character yet for a captain imo. In a few years maybe although he might have moved on by then.

Robinson is a very intelligent man who's shown great passion for the club. My vote would be him, Lukic or Anderson when it isn't Tom

I'm with Yamus. Calvin for me as well. His willingness to show a relaxed side to life is an asset. As much as some need a captain who gets in their face and tell them to buck their ideas up. Others react to a smile and a reminder they're good enough.

[AnotherVicHalomLoveChild]

Agreed I Ronic

Worth a punt especially as he has Philanthropic tendencies, to be admired!!

[alfie]

Anderson for me.

[AnotherVicHalomLoveChild]

Anderson for me.

Not a bad call but Bassey could be the wild card that's worth a chance.

Right or wrong, Anderson has yet to prove himself having re-joined us after a loan to CP

Much work to do as yet on that score, although I admire & like him & think he has it all as far as the future is concerned. A possible Captain in future years. Go on & prove it Anderson!!

[Eton White]

Anderson was only on loan to us first time round. It was Palace who signed him permanently and we then bought him from them.

He hasn't performed on the pitch quite as well as he did in his first spell with us imo, but he has presence and makes himself heard. I'd pick him as captain personally.

[Finnans Right Peg]

Has to be Jeddi ,always leads by example and it might keep him here for the rest of his career

[Sting of the North]

We have a captain. Or did we sell TC, and I missed it in between all the usual bickering here?

[Lighthouse]

There has been no bickering here.

[HobGoblin]

Anderson for me.

Anyone is a better captain that TC, gut is far to nice

Yamus' point was about choosing a new captain - a leader of men etc.

Cairney's only going to get fewer and fewer minutes on the pitch as time goes on so it's worth discussing.

Sure, anything can be discussed. We do know that if TC doesn't play, it's Jedi, and if he also doesn't play it's Leno. Unlikely to change anytime soon. TC hasn't been a regular starter for about 4 years, but still is captain. I am confident it won't change.

In any case, leaders lead with or without an armband, so in my opinion it's a non-issue.

The 10 minutes he gets every so often has a real impact on the team so an obvious choice to remain as captain.

Isn't there a group of captains or leaders Marco has created...?

Cairney, historically BDR, Leno, Reed...

I'm a fan of bassey, and think his ability on the ball is impressive and up there, but to have leadership positions, he essentially needs to be more responsible and adult. Not saying he can't be that, but he's shown/seen as the joker of the group. You have to have the respect of people to properly lead. I don't think, in his current guise, he's that person. He could be, but he'd need to get serious in a way he hasn't before. (In a leadership way, not necessarily in the way he plays).

I'm still waiting for the Jay and Angus podcast! I am dead serious it is something I want to listen to!

I'm waiting for the wedding announcement once these crazy kids work it out.

Let's hope the forum get invited to the evening at least - maybe it can bring everyone back together 

[DM]

Kevin sees a move to the Premier League as huge step in his career & is pushing for the move to Fulham!
