LUFC Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2026

[Fev]

Darlow number one and keep meslier

You on the ouzo ?

Had a couple shots tonight, I like meslier just needs nurturing

Given we are safe and planning for next season in Prem, Ignoring the obvious ones like Piroe, Meslier etc, who out of the regular first team squad you think we will replace? Darlow to stay i reckon even as No2, We need to build and i think we have a surprisingly good base to build from.
I guess Farke will be here start of season which means but for him. Interesting summer ahead.

It will be a problem getting shot of Perri and Bornauw because we won't get the value back. This will hit PSR or whatever it's called. Byram will probably go. As we don't use wingers much,one of James or Gnonto out?
Struijk possibly. Bloody Harrison still stinking the place out, another loan out?
Id like to see Aaronson out.
The spurs game showed we need right back cover. Hopefully we get the elusive 10 and another striker that would push Nmencha back to third choice.

Forget about some of these
Cairns, Schmidt, Wober, Harrison, Ramazani, Gelhardt, and Joseph.

Hopefully Hull get promoted and buy Gelhardt. Ramazani will have suitors as he's found some form at Valencia.

Cairns probably happy to stick around on peanuts as 3rd/4th choice.

Doubt we'll get awt for the rest. Probably keep loaning them out til their contracts are up.

Assuming we stick with this system, we need adequate competition for the front 2. We're seriously weakened without Okafor or DCL. So basically a new no.9 and second striker. Seen murmurs that Liam Delap may be available and we're rumoured to continue our interest in Lois Openda. That would be a decent alternative front 2.

We need competition for Gudmundsson and Darlow and more depth at CB.

As for an obvious improvement to the first 11, go get a midfielder to play alongside Ampadu and Stach, as we can do better than Tanaka, Aarronson and Longstaff, who should all be squad players next season.

A goodbye?

Freiburg supposedly want him. I'm sure he'll have interest from elsewhere too.

Probably best for him and us that he moves on. Surplus here in this system and should get a decent fee for him (which will pretty much all be pure profit as he's been here ages and didn't cost much).

Would've liked to have seen him fill in for Okafor but Farke doesn't seem to fancy him there much.

Gelhardt will have suitors regardless. Had a decent season.

Absolutely mate, I just think we'll be able to get a bit more wonga for him if it's them in't Prem.

On second thoughts, after watching Delap tonight I wouldn't want him. Fuckin useless.
