2026 Summer Transfer Window Thread

Opinions.

If he was a play off level midfielder he'd have long since left Oxford - where he's been since 2018.

Like I said this one just never felt like a proper, realistic signing that was going to happen, right from the start. I'm glad it's not happening.

I’m of the same mind, I think he’s pretty bang average for this level really

Clearly a target, albeit would have been a coup to get it over the line given the calibre and player history.n

We move on.

That logic doesnt make sense.

Grimes stayed here for 6+ years and was clearly one of the best midfielders in the league. Team quality ≠ player quality.

yes realistic signing I should have said, was most certainly a target.

Fingers crossed for Fall Seck now? Or is that one an no go as well now?

will have to see what happens now with finances after Almeida is over. Hopefully hear something later today on it on whether we're still trying or have moved on.

 

[Swanseaboy2003]

I wonder if we might revisit Nyoni on loan?

Almeida debacle felt very Marcos Senna esque.

Bit concerned that we’re running out of options for that profile. We won’t push playoffs if we don’t improve creatively in midfield.

As for the Oxford lad. Huge pass. As others have said, if he hasn’t gotten a move to a better side in 7 years, tells me all I need to know.

Is there any transfer news for Jordan James, saw a lot of people wanting him in May from many fanbases and then nothing since. Think for us we could do a similar deal with Parante with James, option to buy loan if finances are too much?

Yes and he was routinely linked with moves, and eventually went to Coventry.

Grimes was also regarded as one of the best players outside the prem.

The logic stacks up

Currently, Rennes want €13m for Jordan James.

Fulham were interested, iirc, now signing Shea Charles

 

[samm1966]

Matos mentione laat the night the need for experience in this division which is exactly why we brough in Ross Stewart.

Brannagan isnt a bog standard champ midfielder aswell? He's easilly a playoff quality midfielder which is our aim.

Maybe 30 is a bit old now, but agreed he is not a bog standard midfielder. I am sure we can find someone better.

Yeah, probably wouldn't be a way for us to be in for him but expected a move for him by now. If there were any way of doing it, really think they should. Ofc this is just my thoughts, not based on any rumours or links

 

[Swanseaboy2003]

Jordan James isn't that Galbraith sort of profile which the club seems to want.

There's very few of them about it will be a bard task.

 

[Gaaareth_90]

Someone who disappears in games too often? Aye. Almeida would have been ideal for that it seems.

 

[Churchy11]

He's been smashing it in pre-season and the Liverpool squad is threadbare. I think they'll keep him as part of the squad.

Yeah I know, just want Jordan James to be honest
