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

[cdbearsfan]

That's depressing if true.

[VILLA MOLE]

Norwegian press saying we've pulled out of the Nyapan deal due to ffp issues and having no money.

it wasnt that much was it ?

[Olneythelonely]

I wonder how many on here (probably more on Villa Talk) know what a Fax machine is?

I would imagine around 100%. The average age is about 55!

Old bastards

Norwegian press saying we've pulled out of the Nyapan deal due to ffp issues and having no money.

If true, and it’s obvious if, that is a very ominous sign.

[Drummond]

There's no way we're pulling out of a deal for a kid because of FFP; signing him would surely help with it if he's that good.

[Toronto Villa]

Yeh I don’t believe that for a second.

[ozzjim]

I hope very much that it's not true. He looks like the type that will go to Brighton then get sold for 60 in 2 years which will be even more depressing.

There's no way we're pulling out of a deal for a kid because of FFP; signing him would surely help with it if he's that good.

Particularly if (as rumoured) we're about to tie up many milions of pounds on an 18 year from Stoke who's played a dozen games in the Championship.

It seemed to be pretty much a done deal a couple of months ago and now seems pretty much dead.

It doesn't necessarily follow that the reason is because our finances are tighter than expected, but I don't see how anyone could rule it out, either. Given that he has been linked with half of Europe, I'd assume his wage demands are far greater than Sidibé's. So being able to sign one doesn't mean we are able to sign the other, if money is tight.

[Villa in Denmark]

Looking online it's one tweet from "Rosenbergrykter" = Rosenberg Rumours. 

None of the mainstream media in Norway appear to be running with it (yet).  And they would run with it as the rumoured deal would have been a record for the Norwegian Eliteserien.

[PeterWithe]

What sort of fee is being talked about for Nypan?

[cdbearsfan]

Figures of around £10-£12 million seem to be most common online.

[Chris Stares]

I wonder how many on here (probably more on Villa Talk) know what a Fax machine is?

who still has one ?

I've still got a US Robotics Fax-Modem in a box in the loft.  Does that count?

[Sexual Ealing]

I only use mine to receive lyrics from Bernie Taupin. No idea how he got my number.

They still used them in the histopathology department at the Royal Marsden Hospital circa 2010 for sharing reports between hospitals. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if that was still happening.
