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

[LeeB]

Given it's us and ManU who are under the most FFP pressure, is there a potential Garnacho = Martinez deal to be done?

You can't do swap deals with them, they're still in utter denial about the value of their players.

[Drummond]

I just worry that's what we'll do... We did similar with a number of clubs last year..

[Londonvilla]

The transfer window is open. So why don't we consider bringing this guy in? I heard he is pretty good.

[Matt C]

Bailey off to Neom in Saudi for 25m which is all well and good until you see which media outlet is reporting it.

[Dave]

maybe we need a proven one

Why would we have spent £7m on Garcia if the plan was to spend more than that on another player in his position six months later?

If it's true, he'll be making £200k/week tax-free.

[Ads]

That's £20m for PSR then. Too inconsistent sadly.

[Ozzjim]

I don't think it's a coincidence Saudi keep coming in for expensive players who aren't nailed on first XI. Diaby, Duran, probably Bailey, possibly Onana. Swairis' influence perhaps.

Don’t quite understand the link, because he’s form another Arab country?

Lives in Abu Dhabi and has a large contract to build elements of the wall.... In Neom

[cdbearsfan]

I like Neom. The Line is brilliant.

[DrGonzo]

For all his injuries are brought up he played 26 league games last season, in his 3 seasons with us Kamara has played 24, 20 and 26.

So 24 in his first season and then 2 seasons affected by an ACL injury.  He doesn't pick up niggles that keep him out for the odd game, he's just had one absolute banger.

[PeterWithesShin]

While a lot were the ACL he's missed games with 5 other injuries as well.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

That's £20m for PSR then. Too inconsistent sadly.

From what I've heard we only need £20m to balance the PSR books.

[N'ZMAV]

didn't we do something with Kosta Nedeljković?

[Steve67]

Does anyone think we will break our transfer record again this year?

[cdbearsfan]

Nope.
