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

Sadly, yes. 

[Toronto Villa]

He watched the video of his lass playing for her country, getting murdered by 14 year old Swiss boys and figured he needs to get away fast. Man B, Leeds being a step up from Juventus and whatever that relationship looks like.

Your obsession with this is somewhat odd.

What obsession? That I have made a massive two posts about the game. That’s obsession for you?

Someone from West Ham has said Ramsey is going to spurs.  One of the more ludicrous sources I’ve seen.

If Digne goes could Mings move to left back and share that position with Maatsen especially when we need a more defensive left back as opposed to the attacking wingback that Maatsen is?

[eamonn]

But worth reporting...

Ozcan or Iling Jnr would be more likely than Mings to play there you would think. A guy with 2 cruciates and ticking onto 33 with Tyrone's frame playing left back would be a massive ask.

Sorry I thought I was on the transfer speculation thread where you know transfer gossip gets reported and speculated on.

[kippaxvilla2]

Wrong thread.

Roll on July.

When posted on two different threads, and the posts so very contrived, that's kind of how it might seem.

I suggested it earlier in the thread that PSR woes were no where near the level the media was suggesting.

I'd be amazed if it was more than 15-20 million based on recent sales. If we need funds on the books I can see us renaming Villa
Park tomorrow for a few years to bridge the gap. Or sell off Barry and one or two of the other kids but I cant see us leaving it to this last minute if it was as dire as the media would have us believe.

I doubt we even need to do that. We've reduced our wage costs (if only because last year was 13months due to the change in our accounting period), we've made something like £100m in extra revenue and we've profited to something like £50m in transfers with no one leaving for less than their book value.

The bit that's harder to square is the impact of amortisation but my napkin maths suggests that the ins and outs have meant an increase in the annual costs of about £11m a year but that's ignoring contract changes within the squad so less than £10m is more realistic. For this year that's offset by sales of about £100m over book value.

It's going to be hilarious amongst the noses on the 2nd if we haven't had to sell anyone.
My brother in law is a right twat of a nose, always trying to snipe. Yesterday he was telling me how we needed to raise 60-80 million and Rogers was going along with emi because we are falling apart.
I just laughed at him and walked away.

Do we have a sell on with Duran?
