Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

All we need is the club to unearth 2 or 3 more Morgan Rogers. It can’t be that hard, surely.

[eamonn]

You just have to hang around parks in Teesside long enough, apparently.

[Sexual Ealing]

Edited. Probably a bit much.

[Brend'Watkins]

I'd take him. He's talented and an arsehole, we need more players like that.

he needs to sort both his hair and eyebrows out though first , then we can talk

Like Cole Paimer he’s fashioning the Plantagenet look. You have to be at a certain level to pull that off. Sign him I say.

I'm not sure about Garnacho, it might just be because he's at a club with problems but he's stood still for 2 seasons so I've got question marks over his attitude.

Jesus Rodriguez on the other hand looks a really good option, it's a lot like watching videos of Rogers when he was at Boro and I reckon he might have a similar rapid rise once he gets the right coaching.

Talking about old stuff that was brilliant

Can anyone remember those old brown envelope wage packets
Where are your wages (weekly then) were written on the front and there was a little hole in the corner at the top where the notes poked through, so you could count it before you opened it up

Your proper working class if you can remember them

I used to feel for the coins too. Not one penny less.

If you were that way inclined, you could push a knitting needle through at the end where the notes were exposed, and carefully wrap one tightly around the needle, remove it from the unopened envelope. And then go back to the wages office and claim you'd been underpaid.

“Again?” They’d say
“Yep, 15th week in a row this has happened”

I’m putting a squad together, I have no idea why. I want you in it.

Comes from France so we wouldn't add a new country. However, not sure we've ever had a player with a diaeresis before so that would be enticing.

Apparently we had a player with 2! Mika Ääritalo. But he never made a first team appearance. So doesn't count.

Edit - Marcus Allbäck, Alpay Özalan, Yasin Özcan,

[cdbearsfan]

FFS. Back to square one, then. Scratch him off the list, Monchi.

according to AV84 that's a dire thesis

[cdbearsfan]

Though I think that ä in Finnish/Swedish and ö in Turkish are distinct letters, so not really serving the function of a diaeresis which is to specify that the accompanying vowel is to be pronounced separately.
