Summer transfer window 2023

[PhilRegan]

Smells like we need to sell to buy.

Don't expect much to happen until late in the window. Might be wrong, but it feels like the Moyes years again.

Agreed but without moyes and in a completely different world in comparison to those days

Why aren’t we in discussions for any free agents or loans? What has Thelwell been doing all season btw?

Probably we're but the decent ones will already have better teams/deals lined up.

Or at least waiting for that Saudi money.

Loans tend to come about more towards the end of the window anyway.

Spurs got the Maddison deal done in just under 48 hours. If only we were competent to that sort of level.

Having 40M in the coffers helps

Good call!

Sure. But free agents are free to talk to anyone but not officially announce anything until end of June.

We were plenty incompetent even when we had money.

They’re really good signings for the Championship, think they’ll absolutely piss that league.

It's difficult to predict Leicester's starting 11 as can't believe likes of Barnes and Iheanacho will still be there post close of window. That said they've achieved plenty in last decade so many players might just see it as a blip and they can get straight back to prem and then challenge for top half pretty quickly. Bit like when West Ham went down a decade ago and they were still signing likes of Kevin Nolan when he was still decent.

Think Leicester and Southampton will be comfortably top 6, Leeds nowhere near if they're just relying on the squad that went down and also taking ages to appoint a new manager.

They didn’t tho, they’ll have been negotiating for days.

People need to realise we are not an attractive proposition to players right now. We aren’t the first in any queue and we were never going to sign anyone in June.

They've been linked to him for weeks.

I honestly thought Maddison was going to Newcastle so them signing a few players will probably start a merry go round.

I was going to suggest Saint-Maximn might be squeezed out as they have plenty of wide players on their books but that feels the most un Dyche player ever even if it would be very exciting and exactly what the side needs in final third.

Matt Targett is probably as good as it gets, he'll be available for loan or transfer when they sign another LB.

We’re definitely waiting till July, I suppose not selling in the next couple of days maybe a good sign. So all sales will be part of the next yearly accounts

I'm not seeing many on the current 'free agents' list that would want to come here tbh. People have said about Dembele but he wants a big wage and his agent wants a massive fee, it's put a few clubs off by all accounts.

The prem is always an attractive proposition
