Deadline Day from Pg.33 - General Championship Transfers 2025

I see Largie Ramazani has moved on loan from Leeds to Valencia.  Hasn't really had a settled run anywhere since leaving us.

And a deal that's been on this thread for the last few days is confirmed. 

Can we remind him of how he did against us last season. What's that I hear.....a 4-0 drubbing at home. Tsk tsk 😀.

Looks like Millwall could lose a couple of players.

Arguably their two best players.

Said it on here before, wouldn’t be too catastrophic if Tanganga went. We have a ready made replacement in Camra. Also, because it’s not a PL club who are in for him, we’ll get a nice bit of wedge for him, (the £1.2 mill buy out clause was for PL club’s only). The talk is 5 mill with 2 million off add ons. Not bad for a player we got on a free in the summer. 

Would be absolutely gutted if Ivanovic went but I just can’t see it. We have him on a recently signed 3 year contract and have no reason to sell. 

Mad that a bottom end PL club isn't snapping him up for £1.2m, even just as a rotation option

 My thoughts exactly. Hope it doesn’t get hijacked by one at the last minute. I mean, it’s not ideal selling to a championship rival, but we have to be pragmatic here. That’s a lot of money for a club of our size and I’d be over the moon if we got that, when I thought he would go for 1.2 a few weeks ago. 

I see you've also lost Alfie already to yet another hamstring injury. Was a stupid buy, not on ability but because he can't stay fit. Losing Ivanovic & Tanganga plus Alfie should hopefully put you nicely back into mid-table... delightful!

10 mill for Tanganga. Brilliant bit of business for a player we signed on a free last year. 

Ivanovic going no where according to his uncle on twitter. 

Alfie will be back , but in the meantime we’ve got good cover for that position. 

Delightful indeed 😊

Thought i'd misread that and had to check online. 10m is crazy although Sheff utd can afford it as they've made over 20m in sales this summer. It says the 10m is apparently including add ons though, so not sure what the actual main fee is.

Football fees are ridiculous right now, and i wonder how long it will be before we see the next club crashing and burning due to financial issues. It definitely won't be you though, Flemming, Esse and Tanganga must be 30m in incomings over the past year now?

Yes correct, it’s 10 mill including add ons, so at a guess initial figure would probably be around the 7 or 8 million mark. As the old cliche goes, for that money I’d drive him to Sheffield myself! The main add on is usually if the buying club gets promoted. Rumour was we earned an extra million on the Fleming deal when Burnley got promoted last season. 

A lot of people were taking the piss out of us for having such a low buy out clause with Tanganga, but having that clause was the only way he would’ve signed in the first place and as it happens, that was only for PL clubs. None of who showed an interest, so really worked in our favour in the end. And a very low risk gamble for us as we signed him on a free anyway. It was a no brainer really. 

And yes about 30 million for those three players. Ivanovic will be worth at least half that himself at the end of this season. It’s good because the money is always being reinvested in the team where as in the past when we sold one of our star players the money would just get lost in the running costs of the club. 

Is it £10m though ... it's what I'd read (£6-£7m)

You make it sound as though Millwall are Brentford or Brighton, when in effect you've sold one academy player and scouted one player for Europe, it's hardly a tried and trusted player investment model. It might be good for the bank balance but it also won't help you progress up the league. Lets see on Ivanovic he's literally had half a good season.

Alfie will always been injured he gets a major injury every season

I'm still not clear why we have a Millwall fan on our forum anyway.

After a 16 month posting exile I'm making a reappearance just for you, Mr 2 month and 20 day old Lifer.

Early release?

I've seen a £2.5m fee mentioned, which seems high for a player who's barely played in the Championship. Especially as defenders go for less than goal scorers.

Easily worth that IMO. Very good defender with the physical attributes needed for Championship/higher and youth on his side. Would have loved to see him here.

I think youth is the major factor here. He has time to develop, we’re not desperate for centre backs, but Cooper isn’t getting any younger. I can only presume he will be his replacement in a couple of years. Centre backs tend to hit their peak a bit later than other outfield players. 

Busy 2 days, especially for Ipswich and Southampton. We're almost at 200 incomings now.

*Over 18, but initially will be in the development squad

I saw rumours online yesterday of Ivanovic to Leicester?

Caleb Taylor I though was a good signing, he was superb in L1 but didn't realise he'd played so few games in the Champ will be interesting to see how he copes.

There's been Premier League levels of money thrown around this week by Ipswich, Southampton, Boro and more to come like Swansea £7m on Idah. Silly season has arrived

It’s where the parachute payments are a joke and just allows the Championship to become this way as it makes other clubs without those payments feel like they have to spend money they shouldn’t really be doing just to compete at the top.

You shouldn’t have 2 Championship clubs spend over £100mil between them in any window, ever, but you do and you’ll get that this summer.

Our business has been good, but we’ve bought the better players from League One who we hope are young enough, hungry enough, and ultimately good enough to do it at this level. We just cannot compete with the spending of other clubs.
