Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[davek]

Zatara wanted us to spend 40 million on him a couple of years back in stead of 14 million on Dumfries.

Probably the worst shout ever on here. Incredible.

rangers u21s?

...keep going...

 

[ValBlue]

More fool us for thinking anything would be different this window

 

[Frosty1878]

If youre thinking strategically;

1: Stopgap for 12months to give time sourcing a young long term RB

2: Senior player to enable us to sell Patterson and sign an u21 for Walker/Coleman to mentor at RB

3: Moyes thinks he can get every drop of ability out of him for one last season.

4: Theres not much money to spend so we need to go after free players like Walker & Tagliafico so we can spend in the forward areas

I agree but also how many years do we need to source a permanent RB we’ve been waiting about 3 already. Coleman shouldn’t be here in a playing capacity regardless of our situation new owners should of said no new contracts for players offering nothing on the pitch or with injury issues and I don’t care about his influence as he would still provide that in a coaching role and if he didn’t want a coaching role then move him on no time for sentiment anymore we need to be ruthless and have the right people in place for the role which we look like we’re doing off the pitch, got to get it right on the pitch now.

What has Lindelof proven ?

That hes gash.

Hasnt played in a single final since he went there (which i thought was interesting)

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

If we signed the 1st one we wouldn’t have needed the 2nd one.

Signing Keane set us back years. Comparing him to a serial winner like Walker is quite funny, yes.

Oh God.

The "winner" narrative has started. The following is an inexhaustive list of apparent winners from our recent past:

Gibson
Cleverley
Rooney
Delph
Young
Lampard

Signing players who have won things with far, far, far better clubs when they were younger is absolutely zero guarantee of them being any use for us whatsoever.

 

[roy vernon]

What is that assumption based on?

MEN and Italian media reported that he had agreed a deal at Milan for 4 million euros (£3.2m) a year, which is £61.5k a week, to me that indicates that he already has an agreement in place for City to pay him off or he is prepared to walk away from his City contract if it means he gets playing time.

Walker spotted in Milan to seal City exit as fee emerges and wage cut 'agreed'

Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has agreed an exit route from the club and will join AC Milan this month.

I'm not so sure, he was bear in mine the wages reported by Italian clubs are after tax, you can at least double that an English club, where we quote wages at the he before tax amount, they are giving him a free transfer now, I don't think they pay him off to go as a free agent for any more than £2.5 million.

 

[NikNak8]

Realistically, the most City would pay him is probably £50k per week, which has would mean we have to make a 36 year old speedster, who is no longer that quick our highest earner. That would truly be madness.

Why do you say that? bottom line is if he doesnt get his £175k then he stays at City and collects it anyway. Everton are not paying him £125K a week. I suppose he may take a cut if he thinks he could push for a World Cup spot but unlikely.

Whatever about the Walker rumours this is what really concerns me from BBC website

It’s only you that’s compared then mate. He didn’t set us back years. Grow up

Difference is Walker is good, been captain of City and kept some great right backs out of the England team.

Rooney did well on his return.

 

[Dddddd]

In 2015, Everton explored a deal for Virgil van Dijk, who was then at Celtic. However, the club found the fee (around £10–13 million) too steep and declined to pursue it further . He went to Southampton.

As they missed out on van Dijk, Everton turned their attention to Michael Keane, then of Burnley. Keane had been a target throughout 2016–17 and became a key defensive priority.

Everton signed Keane on a five-year deal for an initial £25 million (rising to £30 million).

Keep laughing fella.

I thought they signed funes mori instead of van dijk on Martinez say so

Agree most of them were just after a final safe last pay day, their pension top ups.

I’m surprised Che Adams hasn’t been linked, still plenty of time

That one will rear it's head towards the end of August...when people get really desperate.
