Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[GoldenToffee]

It's a shame Doucoure and DCL have been snapped up because they would both be absolutely fantastic squad options for us in our current state.

Obviously the idea behind releasing them / not giving in to their demands would have been to bring in superior players, but given that 1-2 injuries completely destroys us having a functional starting XI, they'd really be assets to us right about now.

Shame how it's all turning out.

Have they though? Maybe we have hit a wall and nothing is happening.

Forest are pissing me right off. At least they are showing ambition. Clarly there owner doesnt give a stuff about PSR.

If Forest have a bad season they'll be bang in trouble. I've seen it before where clubs buy seemingly good players in abundance whilst spending big but if they don't gel or if the manager fails to get a tune out of them then it's like a falling stack of cards. Look at us with Moshiri for evidence

The silence is concerning. Agents and clubs leak things to benefit themselves. If nothing is leaking not much is happening in terms of negotiating.

coz they aren’t telling you?

ah right ok

Marinakis to me clearly has a grudge over their previous points deduction and wants to take a sledgehammer to all PL regulations. There's no way they will be compliant after all these purchases while only selling Elanga.

Obviously my goblin brain wants us to do the same thing but tbh probably better to see how it works out for them, if we deliberately breached PL would find a way to relegate us surely.

If he makes CL qualification it will go down as one of the most remarkable football business gambles ever... you know what he might have a chance of doing it

I mean, is it? is it really 'depressing'?

Is to me though I do suffer generally with depression

Forest are rolling the dice for Champions league or bust....if they dont make it they sell players before June next year.

At least they have the balls to go for it.

and end up fd

He never said that, he said Everton asked the question and brownhill wants 85k a week and Everton as of now have walked away.
And they asked Villa about matty cash and Villa want 20mil and Everton said no thanks

Reeks of Moyes.

Again I’m not sure that’s true, yes ww ain’t spending 100mil in the next week, but Dibling on a 5yr deal is 9mil pound next year and on a small wage. The issue is Moyes for me and this obsession with prem experience. You’re basically fishing in a small pool, price and loan fees will be high as will the wages.
We also have till June 30th next summer to balance the accounts

The bobble also said don’t be surprised to see McNeil linked with clubs. 15mil for him would probably give 10mil profit,
That could get us a 25mil player and a 5mil loan deal

If there was £10mil PSR profit and McNeil was off the books, then that may mean we could have room for 2 top signings.

The cash for Dibling and one of Fofana or Fatuwu depending on whether Hammond and Moyes are willing to act quickly.

So we asked for Matty Cash and Villa quoted us £20m and we said no thanks.

What did they expect Villa to quote them? £5??

 

[ObiWanIwobi]

I reckon 2 or 3 loans max deadline day. For me, all the best players have been snapped up already.

It,s about quanity over quality right now so we might as well set that bar between us all now

I get it's an opinion and you're entitled to it, but it feels like an overly strong statement. All of the best players have been snapped up already?

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Also said on Bobble's podcast that we are struggling to find the ££ to give Brownhill a contract.

Great times.

Well that's one piece of good news as he would only block the pathway for Armstrong.

 

[Charro]

None of you know how things get leaked so stop pretending moyes has somehow stopped any info getting out of the club.

This was doing the rounds at the start of the window when it was really quiet then.

Stop it ffs.

 

[MikeH72]

Well that's one piece of good news as he would only block the pathway for Armstrong.

But he’d also block the pathway of Iroegbunam which would be a good thing.

I swear people have forgotten how the reckless spending of Moshiri nearly put us out of business

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Stop it

 

[preposterousvelios]

Even if they qualify for CL though whats to stop the PL from hitting them with a gargantuan points deduction? Would CL money be enough to stop them breaching? I'm not sure.

It would be their second breach in a few years and would clearly be done deliberately, surely Masters would go out his way to make an example of them

Name the ones who haven't and have been placed on the market by there clubs for loan.
