Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread



If we had a squad of 25 African players who all got called up to the ACoN what are the premier league gonna do about it? Force us to play games with our youth players?
Yes, h'absolutely, probably force us to play XI fans or something, or -8 points per game after we are unable to field our 'strongest team', which at least at one point in time was considered to be against the rules. 😆

This is impossible. You need at least 8 homegrown players, and you’re never going to build a 25 man squad with 8 foreign players registered for at least three years before their 18th birthday.

Probably. Clubs need to plan purchases of players taking all factors into consideration including injury record, and the likelihood of being unavailable due to call up for international tournaments such as the ACON, the dates for which clubs should be aware.

They can't claim unfair treatment if they have a gaping hole in their squad when such a tournament is being played.
 
We just need to enter a game of see saw with Chelsea for a few years.

We agree to buy a player for £50m on a five year contract with an obligated buy back after 1 year for 50m for Chelsea.

They get to move their money around for PSR and their players get actual game time and it would mean our PSR gets a huge boost too so for every “signing” like this we can actually sign someone for real.

It’s not much different to the Dobbin/Timmy deal we did with Villa.

Can’t see why that wouldn’t actually work but happy to be proven wrong.
