Summer 2026 - Transfer Rumours and Discussions.

[Yan89]

It’s true.

🚨🚨 Barcelona's behind-closed-doors friendly against Preston, scheduled for tomorrow, has been cancelled. ❌ The match has been called off because the English club do not have enough available players to field a team.4 mins ago

Not really bothered about this. It’s was a behind closed doors game against their kids.
We all know what the priority is and it will happen this week.

 

[RV2025]

Probably our only chance to play a team like Barcelona and we don't have enough players to fill a squad out. Absolute Cala-mity

Get will smallbone in, 26 and free agent. Surprised stoke haven’t been back in for him where he did have a good loan period. Ideal foil for Devine and McCann, can drive forward as a central defensive midfield and has a fair shot on him as well.

This would be funny if it wasn't so depressing....what the actual fuck is going on?

 

[LukePR5]

Absolutely unbelievable way to embarrass ourselves in front of elite opposition

 

[richiepne25]

We are an absolute shambles at the moment.

 

[Hodgeheg 2.0]

If that’s true, only North End could fuck up the chance to play Barcelona.

And put some of our players in the shop window for La Liga.

Can we do this against Huddersfield and Bolton too please?

 

[shabbagaz]

Having to cancel a match against Barcelona because we don't have enough players. Embarrassing and another low point to add to the countless others.

 

[RV2025]

Anyone know if Andy V's injury is a long term one? Starting with Hughes at LB against Bolton isn't filling me with any hope.

 

[Henry Weston]

And put some of our players in the shop window for La Liga.

La Liga 2 or 3?…

We'll probably only hear about it during the pre match press conference for Huddersfield game.

Unless he's pictured in training and such prior to that.

 

[Randall Flagg]

My unbridled hatred of this club seemingly has no bounds.

 

[Hodgeheg 2.0]

La Liga 2 or 3?…

4. And there isn't even one.

Can you just imagine of this is something the lashers or plastics did.
Oh how we'd laugh.

Hardly call this squad "full of kids".

I've highlighted the senior players that I know. Probably missed a couple.

And those "kids" like Abdelkarim for example absolutely steam roll their way into our XI.

Barcelona squad: Ter Stegen, Fort, Balde, Araujo, Cortes, Guille Fernandez, Toni Fernandez, Farinas, Abdelkarim, Tommy, Xavi Espart, Yaakobishvili, Adeyemi, Christensen, Fermin, M Casado, Gerard Martin, Roony, Tunkara, Torrents, Bernal, Gonzalez, Kluivert, Szczesny, Goren, Gistau, Diarra, Pesquer, Rodriguez, De Jong.

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds.

Good player when fit, but missed four months of last season with a torn hamstring. Probably increases the chances of us signing him though.

 

[Jack Daniels]

Dennis Cirkin would be a smart pick up.
