Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Aries]

I think that reads we bid 27mill with further 8mill to take it to 35mill with add ons. I may be wrong but I doubt we’re offering 43, I agree, too much that

I think you’re right. Southampton want 40 million by most accounts so would be very weird for them to reject 43.

Nope, 43 all in.

Just spend it, it's not my money

We said that previously and then got bummed by a points deduction

 

[Aries]

Does make you wonder what the plan is when the club have said repeatedly all summer that Mcatee is the number one target but they're gunshy of going to 40 for him and then they out if nowhere bid 43 for Dibling who wasn't even mentioned til a fortnight ago.

No they haven’t at all. You mean one or two hacks have?

 

[Nymzee]

Must say, if we add £60-70m to this on KDH and Dibling we are 100% having to sell Branthwaite next Summer

Probably more likely to get a deal done by walking away for 24 hours. The club are under pressure to get deals done now and Soton can see that.
An awful lot riding on this, he would be the first benchmark for transfer success or failure under TFG ownership.

Paul Joyce, bobble, Boyland and MSI Douglas are not hacks lol. They have a direct line to the club

£43m way too steep right?

No, this boy is going to be a star.

We will double anything we pay for him within 5 years, I really think he will be that good

If that’s the plan then it’s a very bad plan. What if he does his ACL in May?

 

[Marius57]

Based on nothing in particular I think it'll end up being £22mil+5mil for Dewsbury Hall and £30mil+7mil for Dibling with a 10% sell-on.

Considering they have already rejected £35m +8m, I can’t see saints accepting that for dibling.

Nope, 43 all in.

They clearly think he's gone and are just teasing it now. This will be done within the week if we want it done.

It's nothing to do with a "plan" it's to do with starting to generate funds.

It is our money see how much season tickets increased

Well I would hope they have a plan to generate funds like.

We sell the women

Has it ever been divulged what real sociedad were holding out for in regards to Kubo? Anything I read was very vague about the ultimate figure they wanted
