Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Asensino.

Won’t need to learn it if he’s in turkey

 

[NeilMorepies]

Anything in the Asensio rumour ?

What? As in him signing for Fenerbahce?

Does make Fred even more surplus to requirements there though…

Just read an older article from a couple of years ago and why the likes of Duran, Asensino, etc are joining there. Much lower tax, massive increase in revenues and fan pressure to sign players, which over extends some clubs but keeps the fans happy. Some clubs then get bailouts from the government despite overspending for example to stop them failing FFP rules and making the fans unhappy. Crazy but apparently true

I think that could be the end of Jimmy if we did get Luiz too. I like Garner but he would be suited to the likes of Forest where he did ok on loan or Bournemouth at this stage . If we went big (relatively for us) on CM and then RW say a Kubo then Fellows as cover later on. Sell Patto and Jimmy. Use our loan spots for the other positions and possibly 1/2 on a free (min of 4 loans in this window) Think that woukd be close to our budget with a nice few £££s coming in for those two. Jimmy the more valuable I'd say to make a profit on with a book value around 6M.

Think that would add up to 3 further signings for a transfer fee, 4 loans and 2 on a free (RB & 3rd striker) after Travers . Sell the 2 lads mentioned and send Chermiti and Armstrong on loan plus Tyrer sale/loan . Would give a squad of 23 or 25 if we can use all 6 loan spots with a very decent home grown quota.

Would that be good enough?

we’d have to hope mate?

garner is “ok”

Yes

Lots of great stuff that will make your roses the envy of your neighbours this time next year.

 

[Mr Happy]

But if we sign a RB which surely we must do, we will have 3 specialist right backs and two in O’Brien and Garner who can cover.

Maybe. Need to find somewhere to offload him to. Can't imagine a long line of suitors.

No idea what that means

Garner as I say I like and is ok az you say If he was doing what he did against Leicester every week, he's in the team most weeks, but we will rarely play anyone as poorly as that often in the future. Gana definitely needs that creative force alongside him though Agreed.

He was mentioned over the last 2 weeks. Utd will offer more ££s but maybe not more playing time.

 

[Brisan123]

I dont know why people are saying we have no PSR issues and have loads of money.

They all assume we are doing a Chelsea with the ladies team

 

[PeregrineT]

Well they are all back from holiday next week, apart from those playing at the club world cup.

Whether Rodrygo goes from Real could start some movement later in the window.

We are waiting our place in the pecking order as ever with the right hand side of the team, it will probably be kicked down the road another year now in the hope that we are a better prospect to attract an "Elite" RW.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Uh oh dont bring Rome into it, its gonna set off dave again

It was some time after the 1st post on this 1500+ page thread the wobbles begun tbf.

Probably after @Zatara posted his list of preferred signing
