Summer Transfer Rumours 16:26 - May 9 with 432826 viewsderbyhoop

As they seem to have started already, this should be an ongoing thread until August

Seny Dieng - Reims who are mid table in Ligue 1 reportedly interested
Conor Masterson - Gillingham, where he spent the 2nd half of the season; are confident of signing him, but Exeter are also interested

Good info, thanks Maggsinho.

It's markedly different to the woebegone tales coming out of Ainsworth last week. We'll have to wait and see who is correct - him or McIntyre.

5-0 defeat to Oxford between now and then. I wonder if it's sparked yet another change of plan.

Very possible alright. Good point.

Might be that we accept a lower offer for Chair or Willock or both.

Also they must have considered the idea of a small breach of the FFP limit. From memory the punishments increase incrementally depending on how much you overspend. So going £5m over the limit might be better in the long run than getting relegated.

Update on Forino. Wycombe not accepting our 350k offer. He wants to come. He has 1 year left on his deal. Wycombe going to keep him. Things might change if Forino continues to not accept their offer. Wycombe won’t want to risk losing him for free next summer.

With our previous with the EFL a Pound over the limit would likely get the whole Club locked away in the Pinky. Forever. UR's.

A panic reaction is understandable, you've only got to read Clive's reports and Antti's comments to see what a difficult position we are in.

There are numerous ways to structure pay and bonuses. A signing on bonus can be waived and a slightly higher one year loyalty bonus can replace it, which would then be posted in the following set of accounts. Similar structures can be used with salary packages.

They could, if they haven't already, try and persuade Wycombe to defer some or all of a fee for Forino.

Indeed but don't transfer fees get paid over the term of the contract anyway? Or is that just how it's expressed in the club's accounts?

Mess about over £50,000 for Forino and you end up missing out on a free Jack Whatmough? he's left Wigan, so hes free, 26 and is a very competent CB.

Why havent we made him a priority? Its clear we need another CB and clear we have no money? Its also clear the Season starts on Saturday!

Apparently Lincoln turned down £350k bid from QPR for their striker Ben House. He has agreed a dew deal to stay at the club (not sure if yet signed?).

He's well thought of at Lincoln and theres much hope of him and the returnin Tyler Walker blasting them up the league this season.

How about signed on loan with an agreement to pay in full in 10 months time?

That was the wonderful deal we did for that trojan of a man from Brighton in Taylor Richards wasn't it?

Was there even a plan to be changed? We just seem to bumble along from one crisis to another.

I put it down to blind panic after that performance. Where's Corporal Jones?

Maybe we could call the club and ask for free tickets to home games this season with full payment deferred until June if we stay up.

I guess £1m this season or next isn’t very important to the deep pockets at Brighton but £400,000 is a big deal to Wycombe. They don’t owe us any favours.

What about Charlie Goode ? We were after him from Northampton prior to landing Dickie but Brentford out-bid us. He's not a first teamer at Brentford and was loaned out twice last season so they might be OK with him coming to us for a few months.

Wonder why we pulled out?

Certainly suggests something else is going to happen to the budget for Knight and hopefully Collback isn't that something else.

If we pulled out, I wonder if that means it's because another one is incoming.
Will be slightly gutting if we pulled out of a 25yo for 34 yo Flint.

Bare bones.

I'm hoping it means we got Wycombe down to 300k for Forino...in reality I don't know if one is better than the other but I suppose the club do!

Can only imagine that another option on a free has materialised, and so we therefore wouldn't have to spend any of our limited budget. Considering Knight is the kind of player we should be targeting, I'd love to see the alternative we've opted for (... )
