Re: Summer transfer gossip and squad discussion
As well as the Charles offer rejection.
We have entered negotiations for Japan goalie Zion Suzuki (with Aston Villa as well).
And have spoken to Borussia Mönchengladbach about Swiss centre back Nico Elvedi (lord knows why we need another right footed 29 year old cb). Wouldn't be cheap either probably £10mil

Yeah
Farke worked with him briefly in Germany.
Hopefully just an easy link.

Highly unlikely he will stay at City, highly unlikely he will drop down to the Championship so we will find out soon enough.The Subhuman wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2026 6:22 pm Had a shocking season three? seasons ago with Burnley in the prem. He's really only championship proven
I’d have him in a heartbeat, definitely an upgrade on what we have and that’s with immense respect to Darlow.

Tbf whenever I've watched Japan Suzuki looks a good young goalie.Barlow Boy wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2026 5:44 pm Noooooooooooo, put everything into James Trafford.

Of the two whilst I rate Trafford his top level record isn't good, 1 poor season with Burnley.
And English player tax and an improvement on whatever astronomical wages Man City gave him.
Suzuki is number 1 for his country and played last 2 seasons in Serie A.
Rather than a team of Welsh players think I'd rather sign the Japanese team
Hopefully we are swift with our decision

Re: Summer transfer gossip and squad discussion
Meslier has a much better premiership record than Trafford... I'd go Suzuki but if we sell Perri we ain't getting our money backCjay wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2026 8:16 pm Tbf whenever I've watched Japan Suzuki looks a good young goalie.

Re: Summer transfer gossip and squad discussion
Very very sad day for Leeds, 20m is nothing for a left sided centre back with his talent, can't blame him I suppose as he probably should be at the World Cup but if Man City are signing Anderson (different positions I know ) for over 100m then Struijk with one year left on his contract is worth a hell of a lot more than 20m

Re: Summer transfer gossip and squad discussion
One year left on his contract probably the reason Pascal is going cheap.
It would seem Pascal wants to leave.

Re: Summer transfer gossip and squad discussion
Yes - at times great but also had a tendency to go diving into tackles and getting caught out. Did a decent enough job for us but we have an opportunity to upgrade difficult as finding a left footed CH might be. It's a fair price for a player with just a year left on his contract and not interested in signing a new one

Re: Summer transfer gossip and squad discussion
Most CB do tbf, Bijol incredibly clumsy and Rodon has errors in him too. Struijk's vision and top class passing will be missed. Left footed CB are hard to findPhoenixUnited wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2026 10:56 pm Yes - at times great but also had a tendency to go diving into tackles and getting caught out.
