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

[Ozzjim]

Im ready to be completely shot down, but the idea of Emi Martinez moving to this man u rabble is hilarious. Why would he move there, more money, ok a bit, but not as much as Saudi, more trophies, er no, maybe Atletico…..maybe just stay at Villa

If they sign Cunha and Mbuemo is it going to transform them to top 6. Probably not. If they get Martinez and maybe Gokyres too which is being mooted, then they would have the firepower and a lot more character in the dressing room. Midfield still looks way short, but they'll be massively better.

It shows how f’up the whole transfer system is now, that there needs to be two summer transfer windows.
One window purely for the money men to manipulate the financial aspects of the game and one for the managers to bring in the players they actually want.

...and the horses did turn and eat each other.

Think the new window is for the club World Cup. Equally pathetic mind you.

And if they do make all these signings, it shows even more that many players don't really move in order to play Champions League football; nearly always the wages and the overall deal come first.

Apparently we've pulled out of the deal for Nyapan, which would be disappointing but I guess we're very much up against a wall spending wise.

It's all becoming so frustrating If true . .  We just seem to be kept holding back to move forward.

What about the Nypan deal?

TBH, it might be that recent performances he has been not anywhere near as influential as he was last season with one goal and nothing else and just looking lost in and around the box.

[Dogtanian]

Nypan is getting a lot of interest from some big clubs. That always drives up the price and wages.

If we have lessened our interest, then it's because the deal no longer works for us, but that's just how it goes with these sorts of thing.

My understanding though is we anything we have to do in June we would have had to do even if we had CL football?

Let's just say he would be a project for Unai. The potential is there but he didn't really kick on from the season before last. That's not to say he was bad, far from it, he's won the league in consecutive seasons but Sporting won't be too unhappy if he goes and it gives them some cash. Nice player to come off the bench but I couldn't see him starting many games for us. He does tick a few boxes, good attitude, speed, likes to cross a ball but I just don't see it. I may be wrong but I would hope Monchi has other options.

All feels a bit gloomy right now doesn’t it?
