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

I'm sorry Ms Jackson, are you for real?

I actually requested a DJ play it last night at a rooftop bar that I managed to wander into and up to in Brighton. He was playing a lot of 00s American RnB and hip-hop and I could see/hear the join. He said it was a good shout and he would check if he "had it". Mate...you're playing off feckin' Spotify or whatever. I certainly don't see no vinyl being flipped...

I sipped the rest of my pint of Jubel, read a couple of chapters of Kevin Rowland's new memoir, having just met him at a book-signing. But the place began to teem with young 'uns and I began to feel a bit like an outkast, so didn't hang around long enough to hear my choice.

By the way, do Chelsea still have to pay the wages of their banned blondie fella from the east?

[VillaTim]

Gibbs-White will still go i'd imagine, or Forest have an unhappy player on the books

[IFWaters]

Madueke to Arsenal. He would have been great for us.

[cdbearsfan]

Very little sympathy for Forest. What's the point of a player requesting a release clause in his contract if nobody is allowed to know about it? Plus, literally nobody approaches club before player these days, it isn't 1995.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Agree, Mellin. What did they pay, £45m? I've seen an asking price of £50m mentioned and thought that was ridiculously ambitious. I can't see Chelsea not losing money on him, even at £35m somebody will be taking a big chance.

Did Chelsea pay that much for him?
I think he’s a good player who got a lot of criticism last season but still scored a good amount of goals. Theres plenty of potential there to make him an even better player, imo they’d be enough interest in him if he was available for £35m.

Douglas Luiz to West Ham doing the rounds.  That would be a shame.

He's being linked to multiple PL clubs, hoping he returns though.

If you think our position is bad I read that West Ham have a sell to buy policy this summer.  If the porn dwarf had injected £90m of capital which of course he didn’t they wouldn’t be in the position.

Grealish had one in his despite most of this forum being adamant it weren't the case.

Not sure we need Dougie, especially compared to other positions we need to bolster. But I have a massive soft spot for him and all rationality would go out the window if there was a chance of getting him back. VAMOS!!

[KevinGage]

Aye.

Would hate to see him in the colours of another PL club, particularly Yanited.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Apparently according to Talksport, Onana from Man U has done his hamstring & will miss their American tour.

Looks like the Emi sale could be on...

I would say it's less likely as they've got no chance of shifting that clown now.
