Disappointing about Kellyman, but we will have other targets of a similar quality.

Scanlon coming back shows we are clicking into gear with our transfer business, as I have always said would happen.

Shame about kellyman not coming back.

Scanlon provides cover in a position we lack depth. It’s a good move, he’s played minutes in liverpools preseason, he knows the players and style of play too. Please that some transfer activity has happened.

Winger, striker and DM and I will be happy.

Just as I’ve said all along he’d have been here weeks ago if he was ever coming back.

Kellyman wanted to come back but Chelsea want to sell him not loan him and maybe the price is to high for us

Re: BAD NEWS OMARI KELLYMAN NOT RETURNING BUT CITY GET

Well I’m fuming, wasted our time


Kellyman is now set to leave Chelsea on a permanent deal.

If he goes to their sister club Strasburg then nothing we could do It will be some creative internal accounting move as was his transfer from Villa

There is an upside to counter loosing kellyman and to cheer everyone up the other players are happy about there showers at the upgraded training ground

He still signed a new contract.

Seemed fine after Swindon, in his normal mood in the press conference. Same again in the press conference today.

Said "he's looking forward for the game and the future".

So I think he's happy enough, he knows he will get what he needs. Seems really calm about it, so should everyone else.

Yes who knows what he was promised before he signed it???

I 100% know he’s not happy at the moment

Re: BAD NEWS OMARI KELLYMAN NOT RETURNING BUT CITY GET

Once we signed Jack Moylan, I always doubted whether Kellyman would return. How would we play both in the 10? Before bashing the club lets see where Kelleyman ends up first too. The critical comments about Scanlon being injured are also unfair. He's exactly the cover we need for Bagan and in glimpses last year you can see real potential as a wing back too.

Kellyman was oright in patches. Garbage the rest of the time

Didn't seem upset in his press conference today either. He has consistently refused to engage in transfer talk and/or politics. Refreshingly he is always about coaching the players and improving them. The window is still open for a number of weeks and we can only judge whether he is being backed when it closes.

Re: BAD NEWS OMARI KELLYMAN NOT RETURNING BUT CITY GET

I don't know why people are upset, I said he wouldn't be back at the end of last season so it's no surprise to me.

Let's just get on with supporting the team & the manager on Monday night rather than all this bickering.

No idea why everyone thought Kellyman would be coming back. Scanlon great news we need left back cover desperately

He's going to Strasbourg in Ligue 1 for a substantial fee which was rumored as the case earlier in the summer. Again this makes the signing of Moylan as perfect sense.

Considering they paid 19m for him must assume it was North of 15m ! No way will we pay that for him

Re: BAD NEWS OMARI KELLYMAN NOT RETURNING BUT CITY GET

Thu Aug 13, 2026 5:34 pm

I’m not fuming we never got him


I’m fuming we once again waiting on someone who was probably never coming back anyway

And yes I’m not a Scanlon fan

Re: BAD NEWS OMARI KELLYMAN NOT RETURNING BUT CITY GET

Thu Aug 13, 2026 5:37 pm

Sad news about Kellman but we do good have options at No10 so let’s get a CB and striker (transfer or loan)
Good news on Scalon :bluescarf:

Re: BAD NEWS OMARI KELLYMAN NOT RETURNING BUT CITY GET

Thu Aug 13, 2026 5:37 pm

Shame with Kellyman, but I'm pleased we've got Scanlon back. He did alright last season and I think better is to come when he's fully fit. He was still catching up with fitness last season.

He's played in the Championship for Millwall and although we all expect Bagan to start at left back, Scanlon will provide some excellent competition. It's a good signing and Bagan will know he needs to keep performing to keep his place now.

Wintle was poor to average in the championship and decent at league one level and that’s where he ended up ffs.

Our manager didn’t want him and you’re still crying about that.
I’d rather trust our managers decision than yours.

No way was Kellyman one of or two best players last season. Absolutely nowhere near that. Besides we are absolutely fine in the no. 10 position as he was pretty crap as winger.

Yes Scanlon’s back but typical of you instead of looking positively at competition for Bagan your moaning as ever.
