Summer 2024 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Surely telling all ex-players to fuck off is an important right for all football fans?

Yes, and any current players who don't want to be part of the project .

I have no malice towards Luiz.

We signed him for something like £16m on a five year deal, he stayed five years and we got £50m for him. He left us in a better position than he found us in, and he left a better player.

It worked out well for all parties.

That's because they are.

Oh, I know this, but you know, delusion runs rife among football fans, it's our forte.

Yep - I find it very weird that he would get such a negative response.

[PaulWinch again]

In simple terms whatever he said or didn’t say he was an integral part of us getting to where we are. He played a massive part and made us a profit as well. It’s weird that inspires him getting slagged off.

Shut up, Tim

Piedmont North Circular! Some say that's where Monty was trapped during his hiatus from H&V.

Boo hoo, how dare the nasty man say positive things about his new club.

Boo hoo, how dare the nasty men say negative things about a player who couldn't wait to leave.

You’re over the moon that he has, considering how bad he was in the latter stages of last season.

Please only watch if you have time, as it is the agent of Leon Routh, our new 16-year-old defender from Luton Town.

Good.

He was our best left back last season, and is an excellent player.

Obviously Maatsen will be the first choice this season, but Digne offers something different to Maatsen as an option there when needed, is solid defensively and good a crossing. Illing Jr will offer a more attacking option as well.

Moreno is the one I want us to shift. Never looked like returning to form last season, aging and seems to want a move anyway.

His attitude was also first class last season. I love him. Could have sulked but when called upon he gave it everything. He certainly has my respect.
