Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

Is Nylan better that the lad (Dibbling?) from Southampton - look very similar in age and play

Nypan is being talked about in the same vein as Yamal and Doue, if he comes close to reaching his potential he's going to be world class. Dibling looks good but he's nowhere near that level.

And Dibbling will cost a hell of a lot more.

Figures I've seen for Nypan are £10-12.5m.

Exactly, the talk for Dibbling is £60m.

[OCD]

£60m? Southampton supposedly demanding £100m.

It looks as though Nypan is done and dusted. Needs his own thread from those who care about that sort of thing.

Nothing has really changed since yesterday has it? Just more people repeating last night's claims that he's keen to join us but we haven't agreed a fee with his club or agreed personal terms with him.

Ha ha ha, fair enough

Nooo, have we learnt nothing from the Loïc Badé saga?

Sorry Aftab, I have to agree with AD here. Let's not tempt fate until we have something more concrete.

Yebbut, can he do it on a cold night against Sto…

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

Dibling will be around 30m, only one season in the prem. Tony Gords had a couple of seasons and produced regularly before he got his big move to Newcastle for 45m. I guess saints could bolster the fee with addons such as england caps etc.

They'll see his breakthrough in exactly the same way as we saw Grealish the season we went down.

So I expect someone will pay more than £30m, but it'll definitely be closer to that than the £100m being talked about.

For context Bergvall at Spurs cost £8.5m according to Wiki.   Similar age and back-story.  The trajectory of their careers could be completely different of course but the London media are happy to push him forward as a future star.

The other youngster they signed (from Leeds - Gray?) cost way more but I think there’s an English tax being applied, which would also apply to Dibbling in my opinion.

I know but Bade is a ******, this kid ain’t.

Wait, what? The little traitor has chosen England?

[PeterWithe]

Not that sure about Dibbling, he's a talent but whenever I've seen him, which to be fair is not a lot, he seems to come very deep to get the ball, beats a player and then passes wide, not seen too much of him doing what's needed in areas where its needed, although I guess playing for Soton doesn't really help him.

[OCD]

He's a raw talent who looks like he has a lot of potential; imagine if he had Emery coaching him. But Southampton want a huge premium on him, which someone like Spurs will only be too happy to give them.

[jwarry]

Anybody know how Buendia is doing and whether we are likely to get any money for him?

[Somniloquism]

Still only coming on mostly as substitute although not always then. Scored their winner in added time a few weeks ago. I expect  nominal £10mil or so if we sold him, maybe one of the promoted clubs might be interested.
