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

[Dave]

I think Forest have the option of an extra year on Aina.

I was looking into that the other day, I'm not sure that they do (although it is what some places are reporting).

He joined them on an initial one year deal from Torino on a free in 2023, and last year they triggered a further one year extension. I think it's pretty unheard of that you agree to join a club on a one year deal, and they can then keep extending it by a year at a time if they want to.

I reckon (a) places have just got their years mixed up and are running with "option of a one year extension" without realising that was in 2024 not 2025 and (b) he's just keeping his options open until he knows where Forest end up. If it's top five he'll probably agree a new contract with them, if not then right-backs are going to be heavily in demand this summer and he could easily find himself being paid massive amounts more at Liverpool or Man City instead.

Can we get Mykolenko while we are shopping in Nottingham?

[Dave]

The not-very-good Everton left-back?

[OCD]

I assume he means Milenkovic who funnily enough I just mentioned on the Fulham pre-match thread. In the context of wanting a mean bugger to play alongside Pau Torres; and then I named Ordonez from Club Brugge and Koulierakis, who is another 21 year old who we've been linked with.

🚨 Aston Villa want to fast-track a move to sign Espanyol keeper Joan García — Monchi is ready to pay the release clause.

[OCD]

Yeah, that one was interesting as his release clause is something like 23m euros. Bit more than an Olsen replacement.

The not-very-good Everton left-back?

He's so bad that has to be a typo, even without the Nottingham reference.

[Drummond]

I'd be very nervous indeed if we lost Martinez, Watkins and Kamara.

[Smithy]

I'd be very nervous indeed if we lost Martinez, Watkins and Kamara.

The only way we're losing Martinez is if someone comes in and pays stupid money - which they're not going to do after this season.  Watkins is a distinct possibility, especially if Arsenal think he's the piece that stopped them winning anything this season.  Kamara leaving would be a BIG surprise, unless we're in real PSR trouble, and even then, I think there are a few players we'd get rid of ahead of him if was about raising cash.

[PaulWinch again]

I'd be very nervous indeed if we lost Martinez, Watkins and Kamara.

So would I, for a number of reasons.

[ChicagoLion]

Kamara's form seems to have dipped on the news we have entered contract negotiations, I wonder!

Garcia appears to be the plan for Emi's eventual exit I suppose, only 23.

[Rotterdam]

If anyone needs to be sacrificed, I think it would be JJ.

[aev]

DT suggesting Saudi's in for Bailey and Martinez.

[Sexual Ealing]

If anyone needs to be sacrificed, I think it would be JJ.

What would he fetch, 30-35m? I don't know whether that would be enough. And you ought to take me seriously because I know eff all about anything.
