Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


Why do I mix up Douglas Luiz with Jhon Duran. Must be the weird sales Villa had to make for PSR, they shoved both out the club cos they had to.

I’d take either of them.
 
Why don’t Juventus / Juventus fans like Douglas Luiz? Why hasn’t it worked out?

Thuram, Locatelli and Koopmeiners their 1st choice. Competing with McKennie for next in line (although I’m surprised he’s not clearly ahead of him). Probably more suited to the premier league
 

I kinda like that and it’s plausible. If it’s a personality/culture issue you could see them being willing to take a haircut.

Luiz comes along and stokes a few fires and they want to chase him out. Very Italian to be guided by their cultural values.

Splitting up with his girlfriend who is happy at Juve women hasn't helped, either.
 

Having quality experienced players at the peak of their powers raises the quality of the players around them and the performances of the team in general. Let’s say he gets us into Europe - addition prize money, plus experience for our younger players which in turn increases their values.

Every transfer needs to be judged on its individual merits - too many people obsessed with age and sell-on value
I would argue that not being obsessed enough with it is one of the reasons we got ourselves into such problems.

That being said, you're right, you need some players at the peak of their powers
 
Well they bought Roma and never flipped them…why would they do it to us

Distressed business at the time, could get at a decent price with a new stadium.

Sort out the longterm debt at more favourable rates. Increase the revenue to make the books more favourable.

I don't see it as a bad thing. We needed to be saved at the time.
 
Yes we bought Onana at a young age. He wasn’t even that good for us and we made money on him. Kind of proving my point

We made money on him because he was a good ball playing defnsive mid we just had a crap manager that only wanted to hoof the ball from one end of the pitch to the other.

Onana was brilliant for Belgium.
