Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[MurrayColm]

Could be an Irish football fan not wanting Bohs to get their sell on clause if Brighton cash in (12 months ago,they were talking £80m!)

No an Irish toffee and a Rovers season ticket holder lol ..

Would be a good signing. I wanted us to sign him a couple of years ago. He's more of a RB than a LB though.

1 goal and 7 asssists last season. His general stats for the last season are impressive too:

We seem to be claiming for low pass completion players, must be Moyes new tactic

I wouldn't say so mate. Being thorough means following due process , taking reasonable precautions , and showing due diligence. Dithering and indecisiveness implies the inabilty to come to a decision , regardless or not whether the other 3 points have been fulfilled.

He's not slow, he's considered.
He's not rash, he's just passionate.
He's not quiet, he's shy.

All semantic arguments as the end result is the same.

Now do:

He doesn't dither, he's just thorough.

It slowdown the process and we lose out on targets as a consequence. Whether it's dithering or thoroughness.

In any case, we don't know if anyone is dithering yet. By the middle of July we'll have a better idea.

Thought it was still allowed in quite a few countries tbh.

I get the impression that it's banned internationally, but if a federation still allows it, it can be done between multiple teams in the same country. Italy might also still do it.

Thanks gents. I really can't keep up with all of the rules in football any more. Remember when we just had to understand the offside rule?!

No, not a ban but the way City and Chelsea hoard players, it`s just getting out of hand, they are literally in for every player.

Perhaps a limit on 1st team players registered, which there currently is, but then a limit on 1st team players contracts, i.e. player reg is 25 in the Premier League and you are only allowed 30 1st team player contracts which is basically everyone under contract above the age of 21.

I think that if a player is over aged and dropped from the 25 man squad they should be allowed to leave on a free and play for another club.

I think the sly 6 should be sky rocketed to the moon.

Bryan Zaragoza. Moved to Baryen from Grenada and spent last season on loan at Osasuna. He’s available. Can play across the midfield

We could do a lot worse than turning him into our new Arteta.

Could use the Arteta money to but him. Heads falling off all over once that loop is closed.

Apparently got a bit of a temper. Raging Ardon they call him.

Don't be so 'ard on him Tony

It's more about agents fees and signing on fees etc, I only recently discovered - the contract amortization works over the length of any contract and depreciates monthly from an accounting perspective - so that in itself wouldn't preclude a transfer prior to 1st July

Any money which gets shelled out on agents fees and signing on fees (which will amount to millions on any deal) is a one off cost which would have to be booked in this financial year if we finalise a transfer prior to 1st July, which we'd prefer to avoid, clearly and that's the main reason it's less likely we'd see something in this financial year.

Yes. Again, the agreement date can be post dated.

Exactly.
We don’t know if anyone is dithering, but other Clubs are taking notice of our targets, scouting them, putting a bid in, sorting personal terms, and signing them, all before we decide to put an acceptable bid in.

Getting the acronyms and the projected goals finished me.

How do you know this ?
We don't know on here who our targets actually are. Therefore , by definition , we don't know that the other clubs are acting as you suggest. My best guess is that there is no dithering going on , but we are largely restricted by PSR constraints until our new accounting period kicks in. July will soon show what has been going on. I would rather miss out on a target than rush in rashly. I think that our previous experience of those foolhardy tactics should leave enough bad taste in the mouth to last a lifetime , and are responsible for the mess that we have been in.

I haven’t followed Moyes’ transfer dealings since he left Everton, but he was never the most decisive. So given that and us basically having a whole new recruitment structure, those expecting us to have a flurry of deals lined up for the start of July are going to be disappointed.

Moyes was very meticulous in his signings, and the billions we have wasted since he left, shows it’s not a bad thing.
The managers since with the DOF’s squandered more money than any Manager Moyes and pre-Moyes could only dream of.
