Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[windymiller]

Revenues should be up for 25-26. I'm not sure there will be much of a difference in wages given who has left this summer, and what was brought in (as well as new contracts for Branthwaite and Pickford?). We don't have a reference point since last year's numbers won't be available for quite a while.

We're paying Grealish £230k a week, I'm pretty certain there won't be a reduction in our wage bill but, hopefully, the increase in revenues will more than counteract that.

the next gen PSR controls are wages to revenue ratio aren’t they? Hopefully the increased revenue puts us in a solid place despite the same or marginally increased wages outlay.

When is that actually coming in? They originally said this season but I think I saw that they'd pushed it back a year.

Kurt Zouma is a free agent. Backup defender, give him £1000 a week and all the cats he can kick......worth a punt

I’m watching you fella

 

[Rita_Poon]

zouma was great for us but is his career over since he volleyed a cat?

Seems he's used up his nine lives.

Like a box of snapped Subbeuteo players waiting for their araldite fix.

I believe they pushed it back a year, but the current/prior formula is heavily dependent on revenues as well (since it's a profitability measure).

Yeah, i think they voted for implementation next season. Certainly saw something about it being deferred for a year.

What will we talk about now?

 

[PeregrineT]

What about everything else like stadium naming rights, increased match day revenue, lower wage bill?

I assume all of our increased revenue is above 42m, so its probably paid for all the player purchases and then some. If we assumed similar wages to last season(probably lower up until Grealish) Id think we are doing quite well on PSR this season.

Have we signed him yet?

 

[Toffeeslam]

He's injured until at least October and then will need the equivalent of a pre-season to get up to speed. At which point we could just sign a non-crocked RB because it will be January.

Judging by his injury record he won’t play elite level football again, his knees are shot.

Why would anyone want us to sign a permanent crock ?

The onyango thread was some quality stuff, good start to international break

Dibling - 7/10
Barry - 6.5/10
KDH - 7.5/10
Alcaraz - 6.5/10
Aznou - 6/10
Travers - 6/10
Rohl - 7/10
King - 4/10
Grealish - 9/10

Getting the fee for Alcaraz pretty much covered by the sales of Maupay and Chermiti - 8/10

JB signing a new contract - 9/10.

7/10 window for me overall. We're set up well to build on what we have for the January and next summer windows.

Would have liked a RB too though...

Tough grades.... I'd hate if you marked my Exam papers
