Winter 25-26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[VILLA MOLE]

Raheem Sterling now a free agent. I would not be surprised.

He was on really silly money

[Holy Trinity]

10% of our income, is not buttons.

But that's not how his transfer is after amortisation, 30 million is 6 million a season for 5 seasons so not 10% of our income because its spread over 5 seasons.
Similarly with malen we get 25 million now, Tammy costs around 4.6 a season for 4.5 seasons and if we sing Dougie permanently on a 5 year deal he will be 5 million a season approx. Wages to turnover ratio is the bottle neck now not spend.

[Demitri_C]

Diaby next?

Fuck yeah.

Hell yeah! Lets get the band back together

As for luiz you all probably remember i was deeply  unhappy  when we sold luiz and diaby. Im thrilled he is coming home!

Well you being unhappy really stands out so you'd think so wouldn't you?

Examples ?

Picking a fight for no reason? You continue to be negative ill be happy thanks.

Thrilled  he is back

We don't as it is currently a loan with the 25 coming in the Summer.

He was, and good for him, but he won't be getting anything like the same again unless he goes to Saudi.

[PeterWithe]

Wonder if another loan move, for Neves from Saudi, might be worth considering?

Maybe not as he's similar in style to Duggie.

Oh I dont begrudge him , just dont want him

[Sexual Ealing]

Nor me, but I can see it.

And under SCR rules transfer income is spread over three years, not ‘now’. It’s PSR where you get it ‘now’ and we’re fine under PSR.

I'm assuming he has already agreed an eye-watering deal with some team or other or else why would he have agreed to terminate his contract?

[Demitri_C]

No thanks to sterling. Huge wages and very little if any return

I reckon he ends up in saudi

[Sexual Ealing]

£25m in the back pocket and he can stop hanging out with the twats at Cobham?

[VILLA MOLE]

Just read he cost £40 million and had £325 a week over 5 years  , eyewatering

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Couldn't he have just agreed a settlement as part of the termination and now he is free to look around? I thought that's what happened in these situations. Don't know, though.

This is the thing that pisses me off with FFP. If we did this deal we woold financially  fucked for years. Yet chelsea can do it and its like nothing ever happened
