Summer 26 Transfer Window

[justnotjase]

This I like. I've seen him a few times for the Ireland Under 19s and Under 21s and he looks really good.
The caveat of course is that there's a huge gap between potential and achievement, but I think this fella is well worth a gamble.
Because of Brexit, Irish players are now much older coming to English clubs (have to be over 18) but that means that they're a lot more mature. he has that about him.
Even buying him and loaning him straight back to Hull would make a lot of sense.

We've also signed a young fella from Belfast called Mason Ayre, midfielder. Supposed to be a very decent prospect.

Could it be Marmoush? i had a look at his career and Glasners it looks like Glasner gave him is debut and possibly took him to Frankfurt as well

He’s on huge wages isn’t he?

 

[Strummer]

300k a week, if you believe the blurb.

 

[GOBIAS]

300k a week, if you believe the blurb.

What I don’t get is how they end up on that. Are you telling me if city had said £200k take it or leave it he’d have walked away and gone back to Germany on £30k a week or whatever.

 

[Marco Pascolo]

Yeah he on big wages if you read like papers like Strummer said, Unless he takes a big wage cut or we do a loan deal like Everton did with Grealish, Thiago Almada but he didnt get on but he would be a good choice as well

My local side were linked with a move for him after his successful loan spell in Stuttgart, and indeed were prepared to pay the fee needed but when Man Cheaty came in with their ridiculous wage offer, that went out the window as the VfB - fairly obviously - could not compete on wages.

You only have to look at the supposed Anderson wages, he went probably from 60-100k a week with us to 300k a week at City.

I get it is the norm now. But I just find it odd why so much. Look at Elliott, I know their agents push it and stuff but if I was negotiating and city said they are changing their wage structure and £200k is the max now, is Elliott gonna stick to his guns and risk going back to wages of £60k?

The marmoush one even more so as I think we were after him, it’s not like Real Madrid etc.. were snapping at his heels. I could even understand a hugely incentivised pay or one where it goes up in increments. I just find the whole thing odd.

 

[JohnnyCarey]

I've never seen him play Johnny. What's your assessment of his strengths/weaknesses mate?

He's a big lad and will fill out naturally in the next few years. He seems quick and intelligent -- reads the game well and very calm in possession. So much so that he could well develop in a DCM instead of a CB.
From what I've seen his weakness may be that he seems very one-footed -- definitely a right-sided player.
He wouldn't be near ready for the PL yet but he looks like someone who could develop quickly if he gets a regular season on loan at Championship level.

 

[Mozza]

Given we tried to sign Marmoush before he went to City and Glasner previously managed him. I'd say that's a good call.

I'd presume EM was given a list of available City players during Ando negotiations.

 

[RedSpoons]

The idea of MGW and Marmoush in the wide AM spots is fun.

 

[Apollo11]

Thanks to the article I now know what Syrianos looks like.

Spoiler: Not what I had imagined.

Looks like Luke Shaw

Lovely stuff, cheers JC, appreciate that. Hopefully we are looking at him going straight out on loan then.

 

[Ewan Husami]

Nico Gonzalez ? Been linked before and he’s available.

Big fat yes please, really like him

It will be heavily incentivised like every football contract, media will just pick the biggest number to report/guess like they are earning a fixed hourly rate.

If Marmoush is not playing & City aren't meeting their targets, he won't be earning close to what is reported.

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

Looks like Luke Shaw

With a slight young dell boy vibe.

 

[Ian Storey Moore]

Spence back for £25mm? Would you?

 

[GOBIAS]

I always assumed Syrianos would be about 55 and look like a slightly more tanned Swiss Tony, but with a scruffy, un ironed cream coloured linen shirt with the 3 top buttons undone and plenty of chest hair hanging out. Also chain smoking obviously.

I’m so disappointed in him.

 

[GOBIAS]

Spence back for £25mm? Would you?

150%

 

[DanR]

Spence back for £25mm? Would you?

Yes if Glasner wants him, and if his personality fits with the rest of the squad.

 

[garibaldi]

They have so much headroom though through the stadium and commercial stuff as they bring in around 55m from events at their ground and their revenues are around 600m - they can spend 200-250m and not breach the new SCR rules with room to spare - they are in a great position to splash out to be honest

Sounds fair.

When's Beyonce playing in Hull?

 

[Notcher]

Spence back for £25mm? Would you?

Absolutely. Pace to burn, adds to a position that we need another option for and he already knows the club. £25M would be a no brainer.

 

[JonnoSnr]

Spence back for £25mm? Would you?

I'd be picking him up (kidnapping him if necessary) on the way back from dropping McAtee off in the East End.

 

[Berkshire Red]

Kamada staying at Palace for another year then. No idea if we were ever interested.

 

[Ian Storey Moore]

The spence thing looks like a bargain, assuming he fits into ethos under Glasner.
