Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


I get the logic of it,but the plain truth in the Prem is if you stand still you go backwards. I know we don't have the pulling power of City and Chelsea etc. But we could very well need a replacement for both Tarkowski and Gueye at the season end,this was the opportunity to get a young player who can play DM and CB and bed him in for next season.
Again, I totally agree with the idea behind it and you’re absolutely right about standing still.

For me though, I can see Keane playing a maximum of 5 games this season.

Next season, if Tarkowski is on the decline (which he might not even be), then O’Brien steps up to start alongside Branthwaite with Tarky as 3rd choice. Then we bring in that young prospect 4th choice whilst binning Keane.

Other consideration is money / PSR. We still need starting RB, LB, CM, RW, and backup GK & RW for this season. Which one of those are you sacrificing to pay for the 4th choice CB?
 

In for wissa as well
So Brentford will have a few quid too if thet are not doing PSR sales, if both of their top players go, but that will obviously be their best 2 attackers plus Noraagard they have lost in 1 window if Mbeumo and Wissa both leave. If Wissa happens as well as Mbeumo, & Forest begin splashing the cash too, it will definitely be going a bit radio rental in the market very soon.
 

I am content with a lull in transfer activity so long as that means negotiations are taking place in the background in the lead up to a flurry of signings. Hopefully we can get at least one more in before the Accrington game, but I am not holding my breath.

Can't see a starting LB being bought with all our other needs. Would be good to get Tagliafico on a free to compete with Myko. Think that's the best we can hope for.
