Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Doesn't look like it if that deal goes through does it?

Yes

 

[Librarian]

Got a Scottish FB we can loan them instead

There would have to be something of equal value in return like a loan for Soule or someone like that. If there’s nothing in it for us like you say our people won’t be having it.

Yeah only thing that would make sense for us is Celik for pennies and Soule on loan

Would Wesley automatically get a work permit for us, or could this also be a way of getting him a work permit?

Dave, hand on heart mate, do you honestly believe we, after all our financial issues, would drop £30m on a player just to loan him out? Come on you’re better than that

It could be moved between organisations to avoid penalties?

The article is enough to give anyone a heart attack! Everton buy him then loan him to Roma?!

Hear me out here, but I could actually get behind Wesley being mentored by Gasperini for a year. Especially if we're sent Celik on the cheap. Celik has more European experience and I think he'd be a "safer" fit than Wesley for us currently.

Pelters?

Pretty sure he would. Plenty lesser players than him get them.

One thing is for certain: even with very little business done yet, this is a more interesting transfer window than we've had in a long time.

IF this deal went through (it won’t) then a more logical reading of the situation is that they’re using Roma as our development club.

This bloke is as reliable as they come. So Gasperini wants Wesley as a priority, but financially Roma can’t do the deal reading between the lines. So they use us to buy him and take the hit on our accounts, to then let Roma get the player? They wouldn’t dare surely? They’d be run out of town sharpish!

You’re not so much reading between the lines there as you are writing them yourself

 

[Zezti]

There's no way we'd do that... right?

What on earth do we stand to gain from that?

This would have been so far off the radar regarding anyone guessing this as a strategy, or indeed the players involved, that it could be a goer and actually work not only in theory. This is totally leftfield, as much as it would seem implausible to happen before we get our priority paid for attacking positions filled. Either we are the Friedkins afterthought or there's more £££s sloshing around than suggested?

Really?

“Roma are working to sign the Brazilian full-back: the deal could also involve Everton.

Roma are moving to provide Gasperini with reinforcements ahead of the new season.

One of the names that the Giallorosso club is focusing on is Wesley, a Flamengo right-back born in 2003, who the former Atalanta coach already wanted in Bergamo. Roma have made the first contacts in the last few hours.

The latest news is that the operation that would take the Brazilian to Rome could involve a third club. In fact, they are working in synergy with Everton.

The English club, which has the same owners as Roma, would buy the player and then loan him to the Giallorossi, thus facilitating the negotiation, since the Brazilian club is asking for 30 million euros.”

I mean if we get a top quality, long term right back out of it that’s fine. I imagine our women’s team will be sold in the near future which should give us plenty more to spend this summer and help facilitate a move like this.

I’d deduct 10 points from us myself if we spent £30 million on a player we hand over to Roma.
