Summer 2026 - Transfer Rumours and Discussions.

[HunterLionheart]

Refresh my memory, isn't small a left winger plus Burgzog?

Do we not need 2 right wingers?

It kinda depends what we want them doing. Small is left footed, but played on the right as an attacker for Charlton, presumably because they wanted their wide players cutting inside on their strong foot.

That's usually the case with a 4-3-3/4-5-1/4-2-3-1 sort of formation.

However you could also just play wingers on their natural side, and have them attempt to stay wide and put crosses in. It's a bit more 1 dimensional, and tends to be more likely in a 2 striker formation where you have more targets to aim for.

Wouldn’t mind us going after Will Ferry from Dundee Utd, only got a year left and would be an upgrade on what we have.

We are more likely to sign the Isle of Man Ferry, which is very slow moving but can still turn quicker than our back four! Ms Revitt cashes cheques quicker than they move!

Thought he was a left footer.

So if Burgzog is a left footer and Mills a right footer the 4th winger is ideally a right footer then we have 2 of each and they can invert where required.

4-1-4-1 would be another set up, especially at home

 

[Man online]

Wrong side. He’s a RW and with Mills we’re covered. Plus he loves Mowbray

He’s right footed so presumed he played on the right.

 

[prestonne1880]

Is Matondo a serious link? I wouldn’t be against it tbh, would be a good option off the bench.

We shouldn’t be signing players for the bench other than keepers imo. That is how you end up with shite like Thompson starting games.

 

[in Lasher Land]

Personal view, the back four who started yesterday may not be at the club come next May

 

[NWB]

Believe we may have another signing next week alike Harry Clarke as told one is “close”.

One that hasn’t been leaked and that has been kept very close to our chest.

McConnell too.

Please be a CB

Burgzorg is right footed. Fairly sure he started a few games on the right for Middlesbrough, against us at home I seem to remember

Ok so we need a lefty and a righty!

They have made football far too complicated these days 😵‍💫

I guess 2 footed players no longer exist 😆

 

[thebutterpiepodcast]

I’m just waiting on the next @DeepdaleDreams mystic clue for the next signing personally.

 

[OB1]

He’s a left footed RW

I would say 3 shouldn't be here now, never mind starting.

 

[bazza]

It's ok with these Forward thinking additions but we must stop conceding goals and by end of the window and the manager still perserveres with The 3 Stoogies it's then pressure on scoring 3 a game and concede 2 ...

Heard a mumbling that we have been looking east again for possible CB.

Hopefully Saturday has made them realise we simply can not afford to strengthen in that area.

What's happened about the full back Drameh or whatever at Hull City?

Don’t need him now. LB needs a left footer

Don’t want any of Rovers centre halves so I’m hoping that’s Joe Worrall.

I was thinking Sweden/Denmark rather than East Lancs 😂

 

[JK]

Further east than that 🤣

If we’re being serious we should still be in for Drameh

Clarke gets injured , great cover , could also rotate with Vukcevic who’s minutes need managing

We need multiple permutations

Don’t want to see Pol anywhere near RB ever again

We shouldn’t pay over for great cover!
