Thought Stoke didn’t want him
No idea. I am getting very strong Ched Evans vibes with him though - strictly in a football sense. Looks completely lost, as if he has no idea how to interpret the tactical information he's given. I look forward to hearing stories of Cannon feeding chips to seagulls.
 
Peck and Arblaster will be the midfield at the start of the next season. If the owners are serious they should get these two on long contracts
Now, having said that, if some Prem club wants to waste 15 million on a young, unproven at a prem level player, I'd say thank you very much. Don't think a prem club will be that daft. So anything less than 15 mil, bog off. He's our player and our future. Ollie Ai t going anywhere either.
Hamer l, take the money while his stock is high. Player of the year, got to be worth 20+ mil. He is replaceable and no I don’t who.
Chevetadze from Watford. Very similar player, plays central and on the left, runs with the ball, is difficult to tackle, good with both feet and decent at free kicks.

Imran Louza from Watford looks good most of the time, probably been one of the better players in a poor Watford side this season.
 
How is £7m for Tom Cannon a cut price deal?!

The point is moot anyway, Stoke don't have that sort of money.
Stoke have plenty of money, just run poorly and didn't get back out of the division quick enough.
 
If nothing else the OP seems to have done a good job of aggregating unsubstantiated rumours coming from the fanbase over the past week or two.

One day later and the Souza willing to stay line already looks like a bit of a joke.
 
Souza and Anel 100% want out of the club. It is what it is. But not the end of the world. Could fetch 25 to 30 for the pair of them. If we manage that then great negotiating.
 
Nobody actually knows fuck all and we're all living on hopes and wishes.
Myself personally love wilder but nows the time .
 
Based on if Hamer, Souza, Anel and possibly Peck all get sold. We are hopefully looking at around a £50m+ windfall. I'd personally be looking at such players like these:

Charlie Hughes [£8m+] (CB)*
Cameron Burgess [Free] (CB)
Tyler Bindon [Loan] (CB)
Jimmy Dunne [Free] (RB)
Lennon Millar [£7m] (DM/CM)*
Lewis O'Brien [£6m] (CM/AM)*
Gabriel Pec [Loan] (RW)
Louie Barry [Loan] (LW)
Charlie Kelman [£5m] (ST)*

*All valuations are rough estimates.

We will clearly need more than just the names above but that would be a good starting point I would have thought. Admittedly one or two of them would be very ambitious signings. Then bring in another 3 or 4 squad players for cover/experience and then look to get a couple of the youth lads (Onè, Caracas, Marsh, Blacker) out on loan.

Was he the lad who ripped Burrows a new one down at their place? If not whoever that was looked very good as its pretty much the only time that happened to Burrows in what was an excellent season for him
 
Could easily believe Brewster is playing hardball over a new contract - it's inevitable that all he'll get from us is a huge wage drop to reflect his new status as a middling bit-part player, and his agent will be telling him he can get better elsewhere. In which case his agent is almost certainly wrong, although I suppose he might figure that if he is going to take the hit regardless then he may as well move to a smaller club that can promise him a start every week.
 
I don't want to see as many loan players in the starting line up this coming season. The modern model is to find young up and coming players, coach and develop them then sell them to Premier League teams for significant profit and reinvest the fee into the first team. It's important that we own the majority of our starting line up. As great as they were we gained nothing financially from developing Gibbs-White, Doyle and McAtee (who will soon leave for a decent fee), for Wolves and Man City.

Think that was him yes, I wouldn't be surprised if he left Watford this summer, same with Chevatadze (if that's how you spell it).

because stoke wanted him before we nabbed him they may take him back but were not getting 10m for him might be a deal to be done with them with cannon and viktor johannsen if cooper has it away on his toes to leeds
 
With Souza, I was told as in he won't force a move, its likely someone will come in for him but they'll have to meet our value.
 
With Peck, a, does he count as an academy player and b, does that count as pure profit as in the premier league for profit and loss rules?
 
My Watford supporting mate is worried both will be sold to balance the books , he's told me before they've got a really good youth system like ours
A youth system established by Nick Cox before he came to us. Having made significant changes to our academy he headed to Man Utd to head up the only part of that club that works well.

Leeds are after Kelleher and Ramsdale, both of whom are viewed as better than Cooper. The danger is probably Burnley should Trafford leave.
 
First 🤣
All ITK credibility falls apart with “….club want to sign BBD permanently”…

Although that does add credibility to Wilder staying and data anylitics running on a commodore 64

I think these suggestions are profoundly unambitious. Yes, 2 or 3 of the young EFL players would be nice but to be promoted and then have any chance of staying up you need proven experience and quality. For every Harrison Burrows there’s a Kean Bryan.
