Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[58 toffees]

So who are we buying today then guys?

Apparantly we are about to start talks with Dibling all over again..

I can hardly contain my excitement

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Ok. But personally I’d rather we won football matches and bought players to help us do that.

6 days to get 5 new players in. Chop chop lads.

I absolutely agree on this...that Bobble stuff is just light relief.

In a way, 'The Dibling Money' is the new 'Arteta Money' if it's not spent.

My hunch is we've got a chunk we can spend, but waiting on things to play out to see if we can get a Kubo/Fofana type.

All else fails, we agree a fee for Dibling*


* Spurs wade in and we pay double what Moyes turned his nose up at for Tom Fellows in January.

Not man enough to apologise.
Not man enough to insult me to my face.

I think that just about sums you up pal.

Apologies to everyone else for derailing the thread.

Properly ruined my enjoyment of the thread again, just want to chat transfers with my internet buddies and here you are offering to fight people, knobhead.

Would well spark you out as well.

Ake, Dibling, leak and stuff. UTFT!!

Must admit, I'm starting to worry we don't have the capacity/bandwidth to spend what we need.

I felt perhaps we'd sell Branthwaite to allow it - after he renewed, I figured some PSR/sponsorship shenanigans must be in place.

Surely we're not skint, again?

Yep, including Grealish we’ve committed a lot this summer, not far off £100m. There can’t be much in the next few windows or we will be back in PSR trouble again.

For those demanding all sort of big transfers still remember this when Branthwaite or N’Diaye have to be sold.

The trouble is they have to be smart, it’s if they’ve been smart.

I don't know the inner workings of the club so it's all speculation obviously but I think it just goes back to what was discussed previously, the new recruitment committee being assembled at the minute , Moyes' tendency to be overly meticulous and a difficult market over us strapped for funds. Regardless further signings need to occur

 

[Mr Happy]

Lol it doesnt say that at all. A kid who isnt ready.
You're not hard work much are you

Myko and Aznou are injured. How difficult are you making this ? You're wrong just own it.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

It is...it's brilliant.

Fraudsters leaching off gullible Blues that have been shown up for what they are.

I have no side in this silly little bobble culture war but personally would be disappointed (but not entirely surprised) if at the most critical point of such a critical window a moment’s thought has been given to messing with two lads with a podcast.

Might be a nice little lap of honour if Moyes and the team had done their day jobs but I’ll not be applauding briefing out fake signings while they’re failing to deliver the actual ones.

Agree mate.

We’re after Will Hughes from Palace.



Nah not really, I’ve just made that up, but it’s fun to pull a random name out just like our recruitment team do.

HAAAAROLD ! ..Oh forget it

At this rate we may sign him on loan at the age of 29 when he has gone on and had a successful career!

Wonder what bid we are starting with this time.... 15mil?

 

[toffee-L]

The only way that Ake rumour made even a lick of sense was if Branthwaite was badly crocked, and there have been no suggestions that has been the case.

Quite the red herring for Bobble to cook his reputation on. Then again in his defence, we have been working backwards through our list of priorities all summer long.

She gives me Al Myers vibes, she knows nowt.

 

[RichCee123]

You believe what you want
But it’s funny that in tbe last week,
We haven’t been strongly linked with any other wingers

Seeing is believing and currently I see nothing

I feel the same, I believe there are more pressing priorities at the moment, it's not the Manhattan project.
