Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Chrismac]

Which players are we quibbling over a few million? The 25% sell on clause is the issue and would set a precedent for all future deals we do.

'If' was the word used, and as already mentioned, if it is down to a 25% sell on clause, and that clause is based on profit, then it is 'quibbling' over a few million.
My numbers on a £45m purchase price £70m sales price (which would mean the lads done well for us) would have us shell out £6m of the £25m profit in 2/3/4 years time.
God forbid he was the next big thing and we sold him for £100m, it would mean having to give Southampton £14m of the £55m profit we made.
In both instances the boy will have been a success and helped our club grow, while 2 league positions would gain/lose us near £6m alone this season

Pretty sure he was for us for two seasons.

Pretty sure he spent 2 years proving he wasn't

Is the ‘profit’ based on original purchase price or book value amortised cost? Genuinely don’t know but could mean a higher payout

Purchase price usually

Also consider if the on sale is high enough to trigger a substantial payout he would have been playing pretty well for us

 

[Bainesy come back]

Not saying this will happen but really hope this stupid PL experience mantra doesn't mean we don't consider any alternatives from abroad if we don't budge on Dibling. Just seems we're backing ourselves into a corner with that combo of approaches.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

I’m hoping they are American so we can REALLY get a fume going.

I’d take Christian Pulisic like, even plays RW

 

[GoldenToffee]

Seeing Forest go and poach three players who would absolutely improve us is pretty sickening.

McAtee, Lewis, Luiz.

Thought that had been binned off along with Dyche but unfortunately it’s reared it’s ugly head again these last few weeks and the “noise” on “Premier League experience” is getting louder

Apparently we employ 39 scouts worldwide. And no right back signed for years. ‘ Ever get the feeling youve been conned’ as Johnny Rotten once said…

They haven't signed all those though have they?

We should employ Guides instead.

I am sure we will do some more business but with the current group it will be another battle at the bottom of the table

You for real? We weren't at the bottom last season with this group or the season before that even with points deductions. Have a day off mate and go look at some kittens or something nice

That was when we had Doucoure though !
And Jack !!
Not sure we can prosper without those giants of the modern game .
