Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Nymzee]

Anyone else got a gut feeling that Palace go in for Dibling with some of the Eze money?

Not really. They're linked to El Khannouss and Tzolis.

Just you it would seem.

Find me a bookmaker which doesn't have Leeds as the favourite then please. As you claimed only some do.

11/10 versus odds on is a slight favourite. Quite a big jump to go from 13/10 to 11/5.

They don't and they aren't.

Some bookies have them slight favourites, but that's about it.

If you're paying a premium for potential, they should be your player - otherwise it's a glorified loan if he does well.

I'd have been glad to see us go for Doak and McAtee, but not under the conditions the clubs bought them on.

How about we lash £30m at Southampton and tell them they can have him back whenever they like for £55m?

No?...

Absolutely fine with that if it gets us a player we want and then we make a £25 million profit.

Personally think all sell on clauses should be abolished tbh, but we are where we are.

Why has this thread turned into a betting site . There are people here for whom its a sensitive subject.

Perhaps sell -on clauses should have a balance clause included so that in the event the player is a dud and we end up taking a bath on the sell on fee than the original club has to return some of our 50M to us.

So, busy transfer day huh?

I can tell by all the important arguing over betting terms

Haha! Imagine some bookies have Leeds as favourites and some had Everton..

If only this was how the industry worked!!

Not for me.

Already taking a risk and paying a premium to hopefully release potential. That potential is capped when the selling club can take them back.

If they do well - Liverpool will buy back Doak, Man City will buy back McAtee even if they don't want him - just to resell. Like Barcelona did with Deulofeu.

Indeed. It's in the wrong thread as well.

Leeds are clear favourites to win tonight.
Brighton are clear favourites to win on Sunday.
Why? - because we have a very weak right flank that offers nothing in attack, nothing in defence and has zero pace.

It’s a genuine shame that the club hasn’t fixed these well known issues in the transfer market.
It could be the difference between finishing 17th and 10th.

The good old un-loseable bets. Very hard to find nowadays.

Made a good few quid when bookies started online but they soon caught up.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Have we intensified interest for anyone, today?

Well I reckon City will be taking one of Grealish and McAtee back next summer, and it won’t be McAtee.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

I would imagine on any matchday the club try to minimise any distractions and focus soely on winning the game at hand.
