Now that Trent’s situation has been confirmed publically, i wonder how quickly we will see our other buys and sells happening, or at least stronger rumours from the reliables…

Given that the reliable press reported that the club knew it since March, I feel we’ll see a few deals done when the domestic competitions are concluded.
I think the club will buy a new pair of fullbacks - even though Slot is saying that there’s no need for a major change, just an injection of fresh energy, I think we’ll see the likes of Gomez, Tsimikas and Nunez sold to fund new signings, more or less their replacements.

It’s a game of words sometimes, an injection of energy doesn’t mean we’ll buy 1-2 players who will just provide energy in backup roles. High possibility that even the club doesn’t know at this point with which first team squad we’ll end the transfer window (factors like the market, sales, pre-season can affect and change plans) and let alone us, who can just follow and discuss how things happen as we find out and get new clues from reliable media.
We’ll just have to be a bit patient and that’s it. Some question marks have been removed in last weeks and with time, we’ll get a clearer picture.

Regarding TAA leaving, I hope at least that he told the club early enough that we have a replacement lined up and are waiting for the transfer window to open to just announce a deal that has already been agreed.

He informed the club a month ago.

The club in that situation prepares regardless. When you’re at or past the 2 years left on a contract is one signal, then 1 year left, then months. Talks help, but the club had to be prepared for it. Other ways to find out that things are happening in terms of him being closer to leave.

With the reported timing of March, I wonder if that is what unblocked the talks with the other 2?

Seems very likely. The club now knew they could use some of the money they had potentially earmarked for Trent’s new bumper contract in order to give Mo and Virg the increases they were seeking.

Could the club have just given themselves the deadline for sorting all three by March?
Certain posters will be in meltdown if we have spent 150m quid by 1st of July.

There’ll be even more if we haven’t.

Club will have been planning for his departure for a year or more whilst trying to persuade him to sign.
There won’t be any panic from the club.

I’m confused… Why? I don’t think there was anyone in meltdown over what we did spend in summer 2023, was there?
These days, it seems as though the scouting is so comprehensive that we might just be tracking foetuses…
Hmmm there was a few on here.

Given the number of ex-professionals who have kids in Premier League academies that might actually be true.

If any decent WSL player were to shack up with a decent PL player then that might actually become true.
Think betting companies started taking bets on Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi‘s children becoming Grand Slam champions.

Kind of surprising it hasn’t happened yet.
