Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

He is too good to be a 4th choice anywhere imo, if he comes here it will be as a Jarrad replacement. I reckon we will try and secure someone in before entertaining any bids for Branthwaite.

Would we be content with Esteve and £30-40m to spend on a striker/right winger in place of Branthwaite? (McAtee with money left over?)

Sounds about as good as we could hope for, especially if Branthwaite doesn't sign a new contract.

a zat wishful made up one?

Wouldn't fancy being a centre half and facing him and Beto the size of them would put you off before a ball was kicked

Imagine spending most of your adult life, being known as " Barry from Eastenders

We’re gonna do it anyway.

Not really.. I think I'd want at least £50m plus Esteve to make me think about selling Branthwaite, probably £60m

Can't see us paying £30m for a 4th choice CH

Not 4th choice...just in place of...

I just don't see us paying that money for a CH who doesn't get in ahead of Branthwaite, Tarky or O'Brien

 

[DanB90]

Sign him up.

Estéve porn for those out of the loop. Burnley uploaded it today. Goodbye video?

Assuming we have 100m before we broke PSR, 100m being generous, it’s impossible to sign 10 quality perm players at an average of 10m.

My guess is more likely 4 perm 4 loans, excluding Charly.

That's probably about what will happen.
We won't have a budget for 10 players but will have to try for 8 I think.

Excluding Alcaraz perhaps:
1 x 30m
4 x 12-15m
2 x loans
1 x free/cheap GK backup.

Loans will be critical but I think Moyes will limit them and it's harder than before to get the quality in, as we've seen.

It will be hard to get quality in at those fees generally. But then it won't be hard to replace Lindstrom, Broja, and Harrison's output either.

If we get the age profile right then at low fees should players underwhelm they will still retain a lot of their value if they have to return to The Championship or abroad.

I know there is amortisation too but we can only go on the quoted value of a transfer when it's done. I don't expect us to be signing players for a total book value of more than £100m.

Just logged in to see if there are any possible transfers and after reading last few pages it seems like barry from eastenders is the number 1 target

He’s better then anything else we have at right mid to be fair

Good option once he’s Dyche fit.
