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

[andyh]

Maybe my use of the term ‘superstar’ was a bit excessive.
But I would hope we will soon be in a position again where we are buying players that are a step up from what we have and will improve the team.

Buying potential is all well and good, and is serving a purpose, but I wish we’re in the market to be looking at players like Isak (not him specifically…it’s an example).

Will we ever be ALLOWED to break our transfer record or are those days gone ?

We've broken our transfer record 4 summers in 6 since we came back up so it feels like you're being a bit over-dramatic here.

Obviously the  context of what I said has gone over your head

I missed the bits about the Saudi's being in for Ramsey and us agreeing a deal for Asensio.

Saudi FC = Toon

Oh fuck off, I got what you said, I just think it's a load of whiny bullshit. The rules aren't great for us and this summer has been tough but "they'll never let us sign a big transfer ever again" is utter crap.

I know it’s hot but let’s be nice to each other.

Twitter rumours about Dendonker to Ajax. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[AV82EC]

If we could move Bailey, the Donk and Buendia this window that would give us so much flexibility in building the squad.

[Villatillidie25]

Yeah that’s the thick end of £300k per week locked in those guys 😭

Blimey, it'd take ages to grind him down to the correct granularity of powder, and I don't think he'd have cleaning qualities anyway.

I am so grumpy at the moment,  add that to my lethargy.

I've scoured the internet trying to find another cleaning related club name.

You're in the right place.

[PeterWithesShin]

Oh McGrath, puns yet again. I'll be back in a Jif when they're over.

[villa for life]

I hate life.

Me too. I’m just going to pretend Martínez and Torres are good because you can’t say a single thing about them without “he’s a xxx winner” or “but he plays well out of the back”.

Hate life
