Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Did Bournemouth want Travers? Was he loaned last season by them? Did anyone else want him?

= UNWANTED

Did Chelsea want KDH? Was he considered to be an asset? Did they have him as a priority to move out of the squad?

= UNWANTED


Two UNWANTED players likely available for loan.

Maybe we wanted to buy them so we could get different, better players in on loan? We hardly broke the bank for Travers and KDH represents good value in the current hyper inflated market.

I myself have been critical of the new recruitment set up but those two signings are hardly a stick to beat them with.

Judging by my lack of reply am either on ignore or he's not going to celebrate his goals.

That's a shame I'm hoping it's different this season but in the past we've haven't had a lot of opportunities to celebrate goals so you got to capitalize on those moments

That was an incredibly peculiar moment.

If you can’t celebrate a last minute winner away from home for your club - regardless of any context - what are you into football for??

Couldn’t be, his salary alone is over 15m million a year

City are going to have to eat over half of his salary

The accountancy.

Never in my 40 years mate.

If it's true we've walked away from Dibling then hopefully we go for McAteer. In a 4 2 3 1 formation the 3 behind the CF would be N'Diaye, KDH and McAteer - the movement and passing between the 3 of them would a delight to watch.

How much would an Oscar Bobb cost!

Depends on whether she takes her false teeth out or not.

McAtee’s a good player tbf but we’re absolutely desperate for pace, we’ve been pedestrian on the counter for as long as I can remember.

In that case we should have gone for him, even as a record signing.

Really not getting this KDH fee...or Travers either.

Could have loaned these 2 unwanted players.

Zat, this is a bit off.

Travers has value; £4m is a nothing fee.
KDH - Chelsea couldn't loan him, they had to sell. The fee is good, Chelsea have taken a bath, we have a midfielder capable of improving the side who has a point to prove at a new club.

Loaning these players rather than buying them uses our domestic loan slots. They're both good, value signings in the face of the current market mate.

As will Dibling be when we agree on a fee structure.

Liverpool have just sold a player nobody has ever heard of for £15m, so I guess £25m for a proven Premier League player in KDH is an absolute bargain.

Nobody has ever heard of, you say?

Sounds like our next signing to me!

 

[Simon Buttle]

Abdul Fatawu at Leicester is a proper baller, surely would be a cheaper alternative to Dibling.

Should we have kept Thelwell on while the new committee was brought into the club . Would we have been ahead of where we are at the moment if we had of done ?

If the ideas that some people are convinced are true,that there was friction between him and Moyes,it may not have been conducive to transfer choice harmony.
