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

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

Id be looking to build the team for next year around Rogers and Ramsey. The most important thing this season was for Ramsey to prove his fitness which he has done, operating in about third gear. We are a far more balanced team when he plays on the left.

I don't see the point of selling Ramsey. We know he's got several levels still to reach (and the ability to get there) but I don't think he's done enough recently to make anyone pay big money for him.

[PeterWithe]

Chelsea seem to pay huge amounts of money for players who've done less.

[Dave]

Given they were interested before and we apparently weren't totally against the idea, I can see Spurs chucking £40m or so at us for Ramsey.

And if it turns out we do need to sell someone with a good book value, I don't think it would be the biggest surprise in the world if it's him.

Hope it doesn't happen though, obviously.

Why would anyone of sound mind entertain going to Spurs?

We'll lose 1 or maybe 2 with the likes of Bailey, Mings, Digne & Martinez going long before we get to Rogers or Ramsey. If Kamara doesn't show any indication of signing, maybe he'll go. We lost Luiz & Diaby last season & have we missed them that much? With the Duran money from January, I don't think we'll have the panic of needing to sell anyone before the end of June.

Whilst he's still our best option at right back, we need an upgrade on Cash.

How ie Diaby doing?
I see Jhon scored a couple the other day

[ChicagoLion]

Law and Percy suggesting Baily and Emi have interest from Saudi.

3 goals and 14 assists.

I saw something the other day that Spurs could spend £200m and comply with PSR but don't have any money to spend.

[Dave]

"Any money" is relative though I imagine.

They're not going to chuck half a billion on players like Chelsea do. But they average £100m spending net per year over the last five years, pretty equally spread out year by year. The Kane money gives them PSR leeway for a while like Grealish did with us, and I don't really see why they wouldn't spend another £100m this summer.

And a left-sided attacker given the Werner experiment has failed and Son is running on fumes now is probably going to the sort of place they'll want to spend some of it...

🚨 Aston Villa are looking at Osasuna centre-back Enzo Boyomo as a potential summer signing — €25m release clause.

[Dante Lavelli]

Bailey + Buendia = Cherki with cash and wages left over to help with PSR.

[OCD]

I wonder whether Cherki would be played as a 10 or on the right as he looks the type that could play any of the forward positions but also the type that Emery likes to use as a 10.

@mcgrathmike

Turns 24 in October.
6'0", right footed right sided centre-bsck
Cameroon born, French national  Cameroon international
Was at Blackburn from 2016-20.
168 1st team games in various Spanish divisions, 29 in La Liga.

Looks reasonably mobile and is powerfully built. An extra couple of inches in height wouldn't go amiss, but he's not going to grow any more at his age.

From a PSR perspective, anything we would get for JJ would be total profit

Sadly, the system encourages selling Academy players.
Iniquitous, but that's the consequence of a system designed by the Greedy6  to repel challenges from other clubs.
