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

[Toronto Villa]

As much he has petrol left in the tank, selling 30 year old Ollie for a good price and getting 25 year old Jonathan David on a free would be a super deal. 14 goals and 3 assists in Ligue 1 this season from 24 games is good going.

I’d disagree…sign David absolutely but to compete with Ollie not replace him

I’d love to have both. But in reality we will still need to address PSR/FFP play rules in the summer. Especially if we plan to sign Asensio and Rashford.

As longs as it's not Troy Parrott. We'll await the scouting report from Dinas.

I reckon we sell him far cheaper than he's worth like we did Luiz, because of the Status Quo Preservation rules.

This is what I think, and I think people are going to be obviously disappointed with the price.

[Mellin]

Just go get Liam Delap when Ipswich go down. If Watkins goes go find the next Benteke/Duranwithouttheattitude as well.

Done. Giz a job.

We’d need to spend £40m plus to replace him so I struggle to see the point when we know he’s good enough. Jonathan David, on a free, could be the wild card that unlocks everything.

And 7 in 10 in the CL, mostly against the good sides like both Madrids, Liverpool, Juventus and Dortmund.

[Percy McCarthy]

I'm not sure why people don't rate him. Sure, the French Ligue stats might be misleading, but 7 goals in 10 CL games for Lille scoring Liverpool, Dortmund, both Madrid's, and Juve shows he can take chances against usually tight defenses. Especially on a free.

Oops!

[Clampy]

Jonathan David has never really impressed whenever I've seen him, albeit in truth not that much. Gomes wouldn't be a bad addition.

Yes there is a big fuss about him , but i haven’t seen anything much 🤔

I didn't say anything about there being a 'big fuss'. I just said  that I haven't seen a great deal of him and when I have seen him, he's not overly impressed me. Glad to clear that up.

Dinas to the thread please!

Did make me wonder whether Preston have any players we can scout this month.

[Dante Lavelli]

I hope we used the Bruges games as a scouting mission. They were generally decent across the two legs and a fair few of them are aged under 24.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Think we were linked with their Ecuadorian CB, who played well and think is only 20.

Jashiri was excellent in the 1st leg too.

[Clampy]

I quite like the look of that Strand Larsen. Thought he might have been younger than 25 though.

[OCD]

I'm sure Dinas will be delighted to provide a scouting report for one of their up and coming talents that we're looking to cherry pick.

[Steve67]

Linked with that Semih Kilicsoy again this morning according to the BBC gossip page.  I wouldn't mind us throwing our hat in the ring for Guehi from Palace, going to 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' apparently.
