Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Approx £30m gets McAtee - he would be keen to join us according to reports but it’s whether we stump up the cash to get him.

Forest being in Europe might be a bigger draw ..

Lot of talk again on 1st team players linked but I see no players travelling.

Meanwhile another game tonight and another PR sinkhole starting to appear.

So what can change then if thats as things stand?

Is this your opinion or are you stating a fact?

Also as with regards to kubo. I hate it when teams get player with 50% sell on and wont sell them because of the 50% sell on or demand some crazy price for them.

The whole reason they got him that cheap to begin with is the 50% sell on. Then when it come to sell him, all of a sudden they want his release clause.

I’ve heard on the Bullens View podcast the info and it’s been confirmed by various Spanish publications too about his release clause & RM sellon. Sociedad are tough negotiators and most players they sell go for their asking price or the release clause Isak, Merino, Zubimendi, Griezmann etc

Forest outbidding us to pay what City are actually asking would also tip the scales in their favour…

Then we have 24 hrs to get some positive momentum into the process or get busy PR managing back page headlines about match results and the effect on incoming transfers.

I don't follow transfers speculation that much, would drive me mad.

But don't we need right winger, centre mid, right back in that order (we don't have right hand side, as it stands).

I've never seen kid from Lyon, but why are we chasing left winger?

You’ve definitely swallowed an ambitious pill. Forest will never be a bigger draw

Douglas Luiz wants to join but Everton now haggling over the terms with his current club.

Jesus Christ, you couldn’t make this up.

We make it so torturously hard. No wonder we are struggling to get deals done.

It’s all very well playing hard ball but when you are desperate for numbers you can’t really do that.

You did make it up didn't you?
Or did Kinnear or Hammond call you personally

The results of these friendlies really don’t register in the outside world, there is no impending PR sinkhole.

I couldn’t even tell you the result of the other US game that followed ours on Saturday night, and I follow a million football related accounts. No one external cares.

Spicy one you areeeee.

You can guarantee Man City will want some sort of buy back clause on McAtee and have him back in two years

They won't want another Palmer to slip through the net

Don't feel like that's realistic on their end. You can't ask for the moon then expect to also hedge your bets.

Could someone please explain how one of the worst footballers in the world managed 132 matches in a pretty decent Arsenal side? Does he have discriminating photos of the owner?

 

[evertony]

Frustrating to see us struggling to compete with Forest like. They have literally had one good season in the last 30 years.

Where are we struggling to compete?
They've made a sub-expectant offer for McAtee, we haven't.
