Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Goldenballs]

Our goalkeeper and two centre halves from the Liverpool cup game both released. They all acquitted themselves well that day but Revan and Bridge both turn 22 in September. Even allowing for late blooming centre halves, they're too old to be hanging around in hope. Good luck to all the youngsters.

Young will presumably drop down a level to get a game. A shame he's not sticking around as Gerrard has made it clear he's a good influence on the squad, plus he's versatile. We saw the best days of his career back in '07-11 even if he won his trophies elsewhere.

Conor will always be welcome back. He, AEG and Trez scored a bunch of our most important goals of the last three or four years between them, they've all paid for themselves many times over and will presumably all leave this summer.

I thought Conor was one of our most important contributors to staying up in project re-start. A good servant and seemingly a thoroughly nice bloke. Thanks for everything Conor.

A handsome mofo as well.

Apparently the Premier League published the list of players who’s contracts run out on the 30th June. They state that it doesn’t mean that they won’t still be signed to a new contract before then.

[Drummond]

We've done this before and I fully expect Young to get another year.

Think Ash will be announced as one more year TBH, give it a few days

I do, too.

I also don't have a problem with it. It's easy to point at instances where he was at fault, but there were also plenty of instances where he did well. As a back up left back, and a mature voice in the room, so long as we can make it work in terms of squad numbers, ie registered players, I can see how it makes sense.

The lack of a social media acknowledgement of goodbye from neither player nor club tells you all you need to know, I’d guess his contract terms are still being finalized.

The club did acknowledge Conor and he replied. Nothing on Ash from what I've seen though.

[Clark W Griswold]

I’m sure Gerrard said a while ago that he wants him around next season so I’m sure it’ll come down to the player and whether he gets an offer that he fancies more than sitting on our bench.

I hope he stays.

[algy]

Good luck to Conor, all in all has been a great signing by the club, made an important contribution to our return, and Congress across as a great bloke who wasn't prepared to just sit out his contract with us. Always welcome back.

Hope the kids all go on to have decent careers elsewhere, especially the ones that did so well against Liverpool.

Rangers want up to £25m for Calvin Bassey and Aston Villa could use 20-year-old English striker Cameron Archer, who was on loan with Preston last season, as a makeweight in a deal for the left-sided Nigeria defender, 22. (Birmingham Mail)

Could live with him going there for a year on loan (although preferably not) but not as a permanent transfer. Hopefully just transfer window nonsense.

This is Birmingham Mail being stupid as usual.

If that happens as a permanent swap I will fly over from NZ and kick the S$%t out of Gerard. That would be one of the most stupid things Villa would have ever done .

I watch the Scottish premiership and if you don't like someone, send them there, they kick ten bells out of you and the referee just let's it happen

[OCD]

When I read the story it was being suggested Archer might go on loan there for the season. It's just the Mail being a shit paper.

[VinnieChase84]

Young has an offer on the table, just no rush, he’s deciding what he wants to do.

[eamonn]

He won't get a better one, will he? (2 yrs somewhere else maybe instead of 1 with us)
