Summer 26 Transfer Rumours

Why not? Dempsey seems to be coming in and we have bidded for bailey with money to spend who's to say we won't bring them both in.

 

What about Jackson?.. I doubt he'll be a bench warmer.

 

I’m not going to continue going over the same points again. However, as my last words on this before I move off the subject;
1. I didn’t point to his stats as a comparison. I merely suggested that ONE example was his goal contributions being higher.
2. Why mention Bailey’s performance against us last season, when you’ve already admitted he played as a CB to cover injuries? In all previous games, he’s more than held his own and helped Donnie dominate midfield battles against us.
3. I’m not even going to rise to the comment about “watching an opponents career so much that you can judge them on more than basic stats”. We’ve all given opinions on players we’ve seen a handful of times, you included. Did Bailey get into the L1 Team of the Season, yes or no? He’s clearly no mug!
4. I didn’t accuse you of saying Metcalfe was poor since February. However, there are many, many supporters on here and other platforms that did. Look at some of the comments on here when we knew he was being sold and the fee was 7-figures. How many suggested we’d done very well to get £1m+ after his end of season form?

 

I would definitely have Baldwin at RCB, but you are right, we need to bring in better in the centre and left hand side

 

Exactly the point I tried and failed to make

 

We’re not a Prem club, with those kind of resources Kev. They can easily spends millions on young players, hoping 1 fulfils their potential and lands them a megastar. But how many of their young players actually fulfil that potential and earn them that profit? For every McBurnie, you’ll have 10 Graeme Tomlinsons. For most clubs in the Championship and leagues lower, we have to get instant results from our signings

 

Didn’t say anything about Walker other than whoever takes his place should earn it not just walk in which will be the case but Baldwin was our best defender last year and is well capable

 

We don't know who we've bid for and two weeks in to the season everyone will be "we would have won that if we had been serious about signing Bailey and Dempsey" when we were never in for them. Let's see who comes in. Could be even better players.

Thank the lord

 

The times I saw Webster live or on TV he ran the show fof Burton, it will be interesting to see if any offers come in for him as he missed a lot of the second half of the season with an injury.
