Scotland international Stuart Armstrong’s time at Sheffield Wednesday has come to an abrupt end just 105 days after his surprise mid-season move from Vancouver Whitecaps. The 33-year-old midfielder, who had hoped to reignite his career in the Championship and push for a Premier League return, managed only six starts as the Owls slipped out of the promotion race, finishing 12th. Now released, Armstrong joins a list of players departing Hillsborough this summer, while fellow ex-Rangers forward Josh Windass has secured a contract extension after an impressive season, continuing his long-standing role as a key figure at the club.

Vardy Breaks Silence with Cryptic Message as Leeds United Circle — Is Farke Ready to Make His Move?

May 16, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United could turn to the free agent market this summer as they look to strengthen their squad without breaking the bank. While Daniel Farke prepares for a big spending window, with a £100 million budget at his disposal, the rising costs of top players mean bargains will be crucial. Among the free agents attracting attention is Jamie Vardy, the Leicester City legend set to leave after 13 years. Despite being 38, Vardy insists he still has what it takes to compete in the Premier League, making him a tempting option for Leeds. However, fan opinions are divided, and former England star Paul Gascoigne has even suggested a move to Rangers as a smart alternative. As the transfer saga unfolds, Leeds face tough choices to balance experience, ambition, and value this summer.

Stoke City Left Shattered: Nine Key Departures Leave Skeleton Squad at the Edge of the Summer Transfer Window

May 13, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Mark Robins faces a significant challenge in his first summer transfer window as Stoke City manager. Early moves have already been made, with five loan players returning to their parent clubs and four senior players being released. Meanwhile, three players have signed new deals, and another has been offered an extension. The club expects more departures in the coming weeks, including Ryan Mmaee, Andre Vidigal, and Niall Ennis, and may even look to sell players if needed.

Despite these changes, Stoke’s current squad is relatively strong, with 21 players who have started league games remaining, along with 13 young players who have been in the matchday squad. The real challenge for Robins, alongside Jon Walters and Ian Torrance, will be upgrading squad players into starters rather than simply replacing like for like. With a solid base in place, Robins will look to strengthen and build a competitive side for the upcoming season.

Relegation Raid: 5 Hidden Gems Leeds United Could Snatch from Championship’s Fallen Giants

May 13, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United is gearing up for a major squad overhaul ahead of their Premier League return. With the summer transfer window opening next month, manager Daniel Farke is set to receive significant financial backing to strengthen the team. Given the growing gap in quality between the Premier League and the Championship, Leeds will need to make strategic signings. One area that requires attention is goalkeeping, with Thomas Kaminski from Luton Town emerging as a potential target. The 32-year-old Belgian, who was named Luton’s Player of the Season, could provide much-needed depth and competition, especially with Illan Meslier’s future uncertain.

In defence, Leeds may target Maksym Talovierov from Plymouth Argyle. The 25-year-old Ukrainian has shown strong potential since joining Plymouth in January, and his physicality and technical ability could be valuable assets to the Leeds backline. Additionally, in midfield, Thelo Aasgaard from Luton Town could add creativity and intelligence to the squad, with his impressive performances helping Luton stay afloat in the Championship. Finally, Mustapha Bundu of Plymouth and Yousef Salech from Cardiff City could offer attacking options, with both players showcasing their goal-scoring abilities and potential for further development. These targets could provide the depth and quality Leeds need to make their Premier League return a success.
