Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[MACCA75]

Prices are spiralling ridiculously. Forest seem to be doing a Chelsea, buy lots of young players, assuming one or two will double in value.

We need to just get Dibling done, next summer prices will be through the roof.

And the minute his contract has 12 months and he’s only worth 25m every other club will want him.

Well that's good luck to him .
Hard luck Southampton.
If we don't get him now its a short carreer , he will do what's best for himself.
If I were him at that piont
I would hang on for a free and put the money in my own pocket.

Just saying yes - I rate the lad.

Every does.

But he's in around 350k per week and his club wants him.

So it's clearly a clickbate story.

I looked into the source for the Vlahovic claim, and it's just some guy on Twitter who wants to be Fabrizio Romano. He has no track record.

Think with developments tonight on transfers and silly fees. The club have no choice but to pay for Dibbling, they walk away and get held to ransom else where, which will take longer.

Buckle for 45m Dibling

The Bournemouth guy?

Yeah. Can’t be helping our case when we’re trying to lower the Dibling price and then you see deals like this going on.

Alexander Arnold's s traitor, get in their Isaak, VVD, etc force that move through.

Days of the likes of mick Lyons and the likes that truly loved the club are well gone.
The clubs look after themselves , so can't blame the players.
I don't get emotionally invested in any player these days .
The money is so huge its like a lottery win if they get the move.
What would any of us realistically do?

Another winger for crazy money

Our current situation is not good.

Not good at all.

We're a season long injury from making do and mending if any of our central defenders pick up a bad one.

The CM lacks a destroyer.

Our attack looks insipid.

We need 4 or 5 in and should have had at least 3 of those in by now ready to start the season.

The summer window's not far off being a calamity so far.

Anything between English clubs seems way overboard.
Thing Zat is right look abroad better value.

Funnily enough there are exceptions, I believe Pickfords one..

 

[McCallsVolley]

Outtara (and tbh Hutchison) is further down the line than Dibling. Safer buys. But it will probably take a 35M initial for Dibling who hasnt played much football at all in comparison. Had a good 6 months and a poor 6 months - thats it so far. Its that issue of potential which may/may not be realised.

Coleman as well, but unfortunately they are rare these days
The money knocking about is so big it honestly ruining the game.

Have you seen. The prices this summer for any young player with a half decent season at a decent team from abroad?

What would you give our window out of ten thus far?

For me it’s sitting at 6/10. Failure to get an adequate RW or RB being the biggest problem.
