Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Drico]

What's the likely cost for each of them?

I've almost no interest in other teams, but that does prove problematic for understanding what's going on in a transfer window.

They won't be going for less than 50m each. Avoid!

I’m actually coming round to the Hamer deal if we could make it work for a decent price. Moyes would have him fully fit absolutely no question. He’s got pace, and technique. I think he’d link well with Ndiaye and Alcaraz, could be an exciting area of the pitch if they all dovetailed.

For a good price he’s a good squad versatile signing can play across the midfield and I actually like him think in a better side you’ll see him also improve.

I'd be absolutely gutted to lose Branthwaite but if we could get £100m for him, which I wholeheartedly believe he is worth, I can take solace in the fact that we have Jake O'Brien ready to step in immediately.

£100m would give us the financial leeway to completely transform our playing staff.

I have no problem with us selling players - every club except Real Madrid is a selling club - IF we get proper value for them that helps us upgrade the squad.

So did Cahill when we bought him and Lescott. Jagielka and Baines had played for very poor PL sides that had gone down same as Hamer. Vardy hadn’t played at any decent level before joining Leicester.

Players can improve. I’m only going on what I’ve seen of him recently and he looks a good player to me. If we can go out and get a better player than him who is younger and has the pedigree of playing in a top league for a few seasons then that would be great but we’ll probably find ourselves up against the top teams in Europe bidding for them.

1) jags 24, Cahill 24, lescott 23, baines 22.
They weren’t 28
2) at that time we didn’t have a lot of money, so had to take a few cheap gambles, we may have to this summer, but I expect us to have money to buy 3/4 starters . The gambles , squad fillers, should be loans or on young players with potential,
We’re we can make money or sell a few years later to
Break even. IE Alcaraz
Not wasting maybe 30mil in fee’s and wages on a 28tr old journeyman,
We wil be stuck with till he’s 32

Quite a few been mentioning this fella. Not seen him play but his reputation told me we weren’t his likely destination..

Can't be bad eh? Got the most serious charges in football history hanging over their heads and are yet again set to drop a few hundred million on their squad, almost as if they already know no punishment will be forthcoming.

Was on loan from Spurs wasn’t he - could be wrong just going from memory, a few Leeds fans I know where happy with him.

Yeah he's on loan from spurs. Think it was his goal that won them the championship. I'd be surprised if they didn't try and make him permanent.

Is it not more they know a transfer ban is coming that will 1) mean they have to get everything in they need now for the next few windows, and 2) not being able to buy players for a few windows would give them huge PSR headroom to spend as much as the want now.

Or they know it will and so planning accordingly. Future proofing. No point being salty about it. Cherki was never coming here.

In many ways welcome Fraser.

 

[Neiler]

Fan optimism.

Creat an unrealistic expectation and then a let down ultimately though! That’s where I got to when k thou go but out anyway!

 

[Mr Happy]

In many ways welcome Fraser.

Jesus wept no. See him vs Utd in the League Cup ? Steer very clear

 

[Captain Bligh]

Hamer is a great player. Proven in the Premier League and did well despite being in a poor team. Hope we get him.

A Coventry supporting buddy always felt Hamer had a higher ceiling than Gyokores when they were both there

Clearly a moron.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Diving, play acting, whinging, self entitled little maggot. Thankfully we won’t be daft enough to pay his overinflated fee that Utd will try and rinse other clubs for, just like the rest of the playing squad they will be asking a premium for because of the club badge, the narrative of their mates in the media and not based on actual ability. Like you have said, he’d never come here and I’m thankful for that.

You won’t be wanting Richie back then!


In fairness, he does appear to have grown out of his old behaviour
