Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Richarlison to Galatasary ? Is that a tax thing ?

More likely its a 'never fit and legs have gone' thing

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Didn't he say "Elite players for an Elite stadium".

The club has now entered "Which ?" space...

9 hours into July and we haven't signed anyone.

This is disgraceful, what are the club playing at?

From a PSR perspective I believe it to be much more than that as incoming player transfers are amortised over 5 years (or less depending on contract). In theory a £10m windfall would allow us to buy a player for £50m as the £10m is what would be paid this year.. we’d obviously need to be able to afford the £10m next year and the following 3 years after and it may impact spending in the future, a bit like a mortgage I guess.
So in theory, a sale of £60m *could* give us some unreal spending power (assuming we are clear of any current PSR issues).

Thats correct but you need to factor in the wages also

Gana effectively being a free agent right now is not great. Yes he's 35 or whatever. But he'll be very expensive to replace and it's a job we could do with deferring till next summer.

This HAS to be the first announcement BEFORE any 'new' signings then it's all gravy and relax.

Who do Gravy and Relax play for? Did Fabrizio Romano link us to them?

We should hear updates on Gana, Keane and Branthwaite ‘towards the end of the week’ according to the Echo.

Searing insight as ever from the Echo.

I’m pretty sure that they used to put some effort into Everton coverage - now it’s a glorified RS fanzine.

It's Moshiri and Kenwright all over again. Someone actually said that on here yesterday.

I’ve seen relax play, and they’re crap. So, Relax, don’t do it!

Not even a cheeky Africa Foot rumour?

Yeah, but it also doesn’t factor in how
Much of the budget is being spent on the last 4-5 years of transfers organised in the same way.

You still have to pay it, no matter how much you split the money into different years.

Yeah, which is why I said dependant on current PSR situation and also mentioned the recurring costs.
By the sounds of it, Stadium revenues will push us in the direction of £40/50m per year extra and with us currently having very few on the books we are paying much for, I’d like to think it would give us plenty of wiggle room

I had previously thought it unfathomable that we could reach the end of this week without bringing anyone in. If we do manage that, then I think people are entitled to start asking some questions to be honest.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

So is it only Gana & Keane that we need resolutions on now? everyone else is officially gone?

 

[Zatara]

Werent these Leeds guys in charge when they signed Jean-Kevin Augustin?

Kinnear maybe but sure they had a different guy than hammond who came to leeds in 2022.
