Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Tim's tourettes]

Arsenal have spent £123m so far and still say they’re short on numbers.
Liverpool over £250m adding to a league winning squad.

How are we supposed to compete? It’s ridiculous

U expected us to compete this coming season? It's gonna take a good few years of steady progression to get anywhere near them

Don’t worry lad. We have Micky Keggers on our side.

We are not, not in one season. It is a massive rebuild.

All I’m reading is reports that Everton have missed out to other clubs or players have turned us down.

It’s not looking too good at the moment.

Great stuff for useless transfer bingo in this one, for those playing along. We've got:

'launch an enquiry'
'sound out a potential move'
'being considered'
'high on [their] radar'
'made contact with'
'considering a bid'
'under consideration'
'viewed as an option'

All in ONE article about ONE player - that's an absolute banger pound-for-pound.

No bid yet.

There’s a surprise.

Yeah I'm pretty sure he didn't mean 'how are we meant to win the league this year now' like.

A Coufal / Harrison double swoop should improve morale.

We won't be bidding for any player until we agree personal terms with them first, I just think that's how clubs operate these days.

Do you trust what you're reading?

I’m not talking about just this coming season. Every year they can spend a couple of £100m more and cherry pick the best players. Squad values worth 10x those of ours

Harrison would set this place on fire

 

[shafe1878]

We are not signing Kubo or McAtee. We haven't even been linked with Kubo.

Harrison and Fellows. That's our market.

If that was our market, we would have signed them already.

[MACCA75]

We are not. That's the point. This is the system working completely as intended. The top 6 spend untold millions every year and the rest pick up the scraps. If you even think about trying to compete, you will be punished and docked points.

Crazy skewed to the top clubs, Chelsea earning £100 million for a tournament we have no chance of even being in.

Here’s a novel idea: Turn the Premier league prize money on its head, so that the team finishing bottom gets the most, and the team at the top the least.

If they really want a competitive league, then they can do it.

We spent over £100m in a window once and spent it all on rubbish.

Had every opportunity to get back up there but we blew it.

Arsenal and Liverpool deserve to spend those amounts because they've built themselves into massive clubs and been successful.

We haven't. We've been a joke for the whole of the premier league era.
