Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Norlye]

This is how to play the game now. The soon we learn to play dirty, the quicker we will be back challenging at the top. Chelsea has bought the best young players in world football, bet on inflation, and now is making money on all their crazy deals. Can't believe that jackson could cost bayern 70 millions...crazy.

I have to admit to a grudging respect for Chelsea. They refuse to accept the PL/Sky letting the R/S have it all their own way and come out with multiple loopholes that allow them to just keep making money and buy players that will challenge the S#&*£.
We need to learn from them, and probably side with them in the short term, to get back to the top table. We won’t be popular, don’t know if we ever were, but this is the modern game.

Supping with the devil & all that.

When’s that going to start happening then?

Sky Sports News is a joke isn't it? Lots of shouting from the hosts over basically nothing significant they don't half love to big up TDD..

"HAS IT BEEN THE GREATEST DEADLINE DAY EVER CLINTON?"

"IT IS, IT IS!! ITS BEEN INCREDIBLE. I CAN'T SAY ANYMORE THAN THAT"

"WHAT ABOUT YOU EMMA? WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON IT?"

*Emma shakes head*

"IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST, I HAVEN'T EVEN GOT THE WORDS. UNREAL, UNREAL"

"AND NOW BACK TO ANFIELD WHERE IT'S BEEN, WHAT HAS IT BEEN DHARMESH?"

"INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE, I'VE NEVER SEEN A DAY LIKE IT!!"

Whoppers.

 

[blue to the bone]

If you had the option of a right back, a cb and midfielder

But to sign these we had to lose either Grealish or dibling.

What would you choose?

Choose life.

Chelsea did nothing special beyond getting their sugar daddy first, well before PSR was invented. Gave them their chance to stockpile players and they’ve never looked back.

It's hilarious how amateurish it is now. The internet has rendered Sky Sports News utterly redundant. They basically just read tweets out on the air now. It's sad really.

This window has been a failure.

I’ll never understand Chelsea’s Enciso and Buononatte deals. Both players were loaned out from Brighton to Ipswich and Leicester and didn’t pull up trees there either. Now they’re both going to end up at Chelsea who already have far better attacking players in their ranks.

 

[chicoazul]

This window has been a failure.

From a fan point of view, absolutely.

 

[Noble Savage]

This window has been a failure.

Eh ? Apart from not getting a right back , it’s been near perfect considering we aren’t owned by a state .

They sell hotels to themselves and have links with European clubs that they make money from.

Yes they were the original modern sugar daddy club, but they have moved on and bend PSR to their will.

They have developed and adapted. I really think we have to do something similar or we aren’t getting near to the top.

It isn’t a level playing field.

Loads of transfers dropped today out of nowhere. I find it incredible that we're couldn't get a defender or striker in!! Even just a couple of loans if they didn't want to commit money now!
