Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

No we had him on trail at 15 or 16

Then had an opportunity when he was 17 I think before he went to red bull or whenever he went and started scoring hat tricks in the CL… 3m apparently

Steve Walsh didn’t want him or actually I think steve Walsh did want him but mosh said no
Nah Haaland visited dozens of clubs around that age and had his pick of them all. Steve Walsh makes it sound like he identified him and was overruled because it (obviously) paints him in a good light, but it's not what really happened.
 

Chelsea and City’s positions are down to illegally playing the system.
Utd’s is down to their massive worldwide income, despite losing money hand over fist. It can’t go on much longer, which is why they are cutting costs, trying to jettison overpaid players, and replacing them with players who are doing the job now rather than spending the same in potential.
It's also worth realizing that PSR is not the same as a club's financial situation. A club could look healthy PSR-wise but have cash-flow issues. And PSR allows for so many exemptions that a club could be in financial trouble no matter what their PSR position is.
Read the article, according to them we basically can file the same losses as last year of 38/39 million. We got to that number though by the Onana sale. Who knows how much TFG and the stadium have generated in regards to resources or "profit" for us to invest, but a 50 million transfer moving us into acceptable losses a year ago, I am dubious on where the seismic resources/funds are coming from without some major outbounds this window.

But broadly speaking the chart does show the importance of revenue in off pitch business to the bottom line. TFG I hope are as astute as these other owners in moving their own money between their own entities to show profit under PSR. Its of course stupid, a loophole in a broken structure of rules but if you can sponsor your own asset or use a subsidiary to buy assets in the club, if you own both ends of the exchange the price is irrelevant as you are both the buyer and the seller. The consequence though under PSR can be transformative. Internally TFG has to leverage its broad network of assets. Lets be sponsored by NEON pictures (have a rotating upcoming movie on the front of the kit lol), Legendary Expeditions on the sleeve among the rest of their companies.

I think its quite simple. A. The stadium and new sponsorships are bringing in 50m+ this season. B. We have restructured 60m+ in debt payments, lets say saving 35m a season. That right there is +85m a YEAR on 24/25. Then throw in all the big wages coming off with half our squad going. The 25/26 books will bear little resemblance to 24/25 and everything prior.
 


Is Nkunku a busted flush from Chelsea?

Made a right fanfare over getting him.
does have the talent just to many players in certain positions at chelsea. Id have him here but sure he will have his sights at a bigger club. Is several players i would be looking at to take advantage of at chelsea Maybe but is alot of players in chelsea i would try take advantage of acheampong, chukwuemeka, Ugochukwu, lavia at a push just to get game time with the amount of players they have in that postion

If we can print the those lads names on the back of a few thousand shorts, that is the commercial income problem solved in one.

Everton (estimated pre-tax loss limit in 2024-25: £77m)​

Everton’s issues with PSR compliance have been legion in recent years — including points deducted — and despite improvements off the field, not least the club finally being taken over by The Friedkin Group in late 2024, they’re not fully out of the woods yet. That’s despite them completing a deal to buy loanee Carlos Alcaraz before May’s end; that date would have seen his transfer fee jump up, and, from a PSR perspective, signing him so late in the current accounting period won’t have too great an effect on the bottom line.
In the prior two seasons, the club lost a combined £142.3million before tax, and we know from previous disclosures that 2022-23’s PSR loss was £62.7m, against a pre-tax loss of £89.1m. That left them needing a PSR loss of below £38m in 2023-24, which they managed, but not with a great deal of headroom.
Accordingly, with those figures still part of their calculation, we estimate Everton need to keep 2024-25’s pre-tax loss below £39m. The operating loss pre-player sales for 2023-24 was £82.3m, so even the big sale of Amadou Onana to Aston Villa last July mightn’t have been enough on its own to bring them to where they need to be.
Prize money from the Premier League likely only ticked up a small amount, and while the lack of legal battles has saved money, Everton’s PSR compliance looks to be a close-run thing again, at least to the end of June, albeit one we believe they’ll be just about OK on.
After this month, that £62.7m PSR deficit from 2022-23 will disappear from view.
