Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

So signing Sheedy or Beardsley were mistakes? Watson also had a strong RS background.

You speak of the past, but we made much more deals in the past. Johnny Morrissey, Dave Hickson when he came for a second stint, Gary Ablett, David Johnson, Alan Harper. Xavier is the last one to move, 23 years ago.
Mistakes ? Never said mistakes once. Your words not mine. My main reservations are around the player. Then the club. They'll do us no favours AND if they're willing to sell then possibly a good reason. FFS this is tiresome now.
 


Was that not only a recent change to stop (mainly) Chelsea buying up youngsters on 7-8 year contracts, both spreading the cost and bringing in huge incomes when continually loaning out so they paid for themselves. They would then eventually sell the ones deemed not good enough for their first team at a big profit.

The EPL also limited the number of players you can loan out to stop this sort of stockpiling as well.

Not sure when those regulations came it.
Chelsea certainly led the way in getting around loop holes, before they (fa) could flag up and rectify the issues
