The Unreliable Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 4)

Always thought Geertruida was a bit of a no brainer when Slot arrived in 2024. Good all rounder and only one year left on his contract at that time. I like the look of him.

Agreed completely. But not sure the timing was right as we still had TAA.

Was a key player for Slot in the inverted RB role as well as a DM. At RBL he often played as a LB and as a LCD…

Guess it’s time to bring back Jan Kromkamp at right back

Made themselves look like numpties again.

Surely we can find a Norwegian defender who’s available.

Always preferred Szobo to play at RB anyway.

It’s not really that though is it, we didn’t put it out there did we.

It’s more the fact they’ve again waited til the last week of the deadline.

We would need to get Leipzig to cancel his loan to Sunderland then negotiate with leipzig and player to agree a 6 month loan.

Mot likely Sunderland will try to reject it, or at least demand a fairly major compensation amount for breaking the contract

I really can’t say I’m surprised about that. Totally not in Sunderland’s interests.

Would have made sense to tide us over, but apparently not to be.

So irritating this is the Guehi mis take all over again.

Cue @Magnus away to dust off his old Mitre football boots! :wink:

Turns out that he’s being offered a little bit everywhere.

:joy:

No wonder it didn’t go through.

The reason why I’m not surprised is that they left another transfer to be completed very late in the window. I accept that there might be mitigating circumstances but this is stuff I’d expect from Man United’s hierarchy two years ago, not from the ā€œdefendingā€ champions.

Shortest rumour to rejection we’ve ever had?
