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

[paul_e]

Send reasonable to me for one of the best players in the championship.

I said at the time I thought we'd under valued him so I hope the reason is that we have a big clause.

[algy]

Apparently Palace are in for Azzaz from Boro for £25m
Wonder if we put in a sell-on clause.

That seems like a lot. Presumably they're playing extra for the additional 'z'.

Great scrabble score, though - 32pts. Get that on a triple word score and you’re in the big time.

Only one Z in the (English version of the) game and you don't score points for blank tiles.

Just use your blank and have Adz instead.

Blank is worth 2 points isn’t it, irrespective of what letter you use it for, well it is in our house?

Just popped on the forum. Talk about scrabble in the transfer thread. Clearly nothing happening (logs off).

So far, we've drawn a blank.

[olaftab]

There's a player in Hoijland for sure.

Shit!  Quick, someone do the Heimlich maneuver on Hoijland ... he's swallowed a footballer!

Yes, he’s swallowed Hojlund.

Zero in the official rules.

Adapted house rules are usually a good thing though - see also landing on Free Parking gets the fines money in Monopoly.

Also in the right game I don't mind a wraparound straight (Jack - Queen - King - Ace - Two) in cards.

Apparently we’re in for Lookman, as he wants to return to the PL

I’m with you regarding the cards.

Fenerbahce have made a 15m euros (£12.9m) offer for Paris St-Germain forward Marco Asensio but the 29-year-old is waiting on other options to emerge, with AC Milan and Villarreal interested in the Spain international. (L'Equipe - in French)

Presume one of the other options would be us but surely there would have been some agreement prior to the loan ending, even if just verbal.

Are you saying you are board with the thread?

At least we can save on his wages for a few days or weeks while he makes his mind up....

[kippaxvilla2]

There might be something in that - as essentially when players join we become on the hook for the wages but if we sign them at the end of August we save a couple of months!

He wants a monopoly of posts about transfers.
