Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Neiler]

I’m certain there’s certain players out there who are used as some kind of money laundering operation between clubs.

That Spanish? Player a few years ago, who would get like a £50m move every summer to a massive club, despite being largely crap springs to mind. I forget his name now.

It’s becoming more and more prevalent I think mate, Oshimen going to Turkey was weird as well.

Was it Morata, think he’s actually moving to Como this summer..

Morata?

He is still knocking about and lumbered on as a substitute in the Nations League final this month and missed the crucial penalty for Spain.

Yeah that’s the one, Morata.

There was defo some shenanigans going on with all the big money moves regularly.

Of course... the swastika is an ancient Indian symbol for Good Fortune and is considered very auspicious
Probably the worst example of cultural appropriation (if you exclude Adele wearing Jamaican Rasta outfit)

The Hindu Brahmin and Kshatriya castes were probably Aryans from the Caucuses who invaded the Indus Valley in the 2nd millennium BC, and then the rest of the subcontinent, installing themselves as the priests and rulers in a hierarchical society.

It seems Adolf liked the symbolism, but that's no reason for Hindus to lose their heritage.

Hope we sell the women to ourselves. We are allowed to do it now.

Sounds like a new thread startup in the ale house

The weekend before the window opens and not a single piece of interesting transfer gossip.

The journos have let themselves down here.

thought would see more at villa cos of the psr stuff but also rumours them like us selling the womens team

Not sure about Barry. Seen quite a bit about his tendency to miss more than scores. Hold up play and keeping of possession poor. Passing not great. Is he too different to Beto - if we are going to play fast on the break there's not much difference? Feel like we need footballers who can, well, play football

yeah similar to Beto, but five years younger, we can not afford the finished article mate, wished we could, but he has a fair few very good attributes, very tall, good in the air, fast, strong, works hard and in all competitions scored 19 goals last year. Worth the gamble from what I've saw, seems to get in good positions and there is not a great deal of good strikers around at the moment.

More at Villa?

I wonder if the PSR womens stuff is going to happen and 'fix' the next 3 years in PSR for us. That along with the stadium could see us spending very large amounts.

Ive seen figures of £150mil mentioned as being doable in transfer expenditure. If the womens team is sold then perhaps this goes to £250mil.

Though i dont think it will be all this summer, it would allow us a lot of firepower for 3 summers to build.

Makes sense get it done for the next season after this 30th june stuff, full season in the ground can really see a profit. Deserve it the prem and would be good take advantage when we can

Would you like them to fabricate more stories to appease the transfer fiends?

What did you mean "more at Villa", bit confused there. You mean theyre goosed with PSR? They'll just sell players and play the PSR game.

Think their wage bill last season was costed at 98% of their income, that's their main problem with PSR.
