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

[ChicagoLion]

It was a bad game. But let’s be honest if essentially everything hinged on the result of it that’s not a sustainable model. I suspect this summer would have been a challenge either way, it’s just it’s more of a challenge.

The financial implications are enormous and Plan A would have looked very different to Plan B.

I doubt if there would be the same desperation to bring the washed up has been back if we were looking ahead to CL football.

Well you’re confusing what some fans might want and what the club might want there. Who knows I might be proven wrong, but I’d be very surprised to see Grealish back. Not a personal thing, I just think with limited options he’s not a great choice.

I very much doubt that the club are even considering it.

I don’t think there’s even the tiniest possibility we’ll see Grealish back. But an entertaining few pages nonetheless.

I think it’s clear that he likes a party, but there’s also a media obsession which will magnify it all.

I absolutely wouldn’t want him back as I don’t think he’s half the player we had. He’s also not a player we need.

The longer this summer goes on the more Lerner style vibes I feel. My rational head says that's rubbish and we are just fucked by poorly designed rules, but it just feels so flat.

I'm sure we'd spend if the rules allowed it.

We'll be OK.

It is fucking boring though.

It could be worse, we could have our best striker being unsettled in a 'will they, won't they' saga by the Red Scouse, and been beaten 4-0 by the Scottish Champions a couple of weeks ago.

I could see it being more of a possibility if Jacob Ramsey goes.

It does feel rubbish and flat, but I think the biggest indicator it’s the rules not a learner type situation is Kamara signing a new deal. That never happens in Lerner style cost slashing.
