Transfer Rumours The “What the F**k’s the point in another transfer window thread- Winter 2025 Transfer thread

It's just ridiculous. And they've tied themselves in knots trying to figure new ways to restrict clubs from breaking the dirty six, they can't even make sense of it themselves any more. How can anyone genuinely justify the current financial rules as fair play?

 

Self interest and jealousy.

 

Chelsea now in for Guehi. I really hope he goes there.

 

To add to the 24 centre backs they already have? If he goes there he needs his head testing.

 

So what was planned for the rest of the money, then?

 

A care home for the elderly with an unlimited supply of ice-cream.

 

Match Day tickets as well?

 

This keeps being forgotten or ignored.

If we hadn’t “bought” him on a “free” then he wouldn’t be getting that wage.

 

Guehi to Chelsea now?

Meh, he's hardly looked all that this season.

 

Agreed. His purple patch is over and now he can sign for Chelsea to warm their reserve bench for £60m and take a massive pay day. Good luck to him but it was crazy money we were looking at and there's better value elsewhere.

 

I believe the a deal for Guehi was a loan with an option to buy in the following season. That’s one of the reasons they rejected it.

We didn’t have any money to buy him in summer gone.

And we are at the end of the 3 year cycle in June coming up which wipes out circa 100m of spend off the FFP calcs.

So I think we will spend in Summer but probably not in January.

 

This doesn’t surprise me but how can they not be in breach of FFP. Unless they sell a **** load of players.

And they might do.

 

He's just a southgate player

 

He’s not played well this season mind. Palace are in a relegation battle.

 

I just don't get fixated on potential signings... whoever comes in will be good and it seems like it'll be the summer.

Newcastle appear to be planning on announcing a new state of the art stadium and to push forward again in 2025.

What's not to like.

 

Their commercial revenue is over double ours. They have an excellent academy that allows for pure profit sales and somehow they can sell hotels, training grounds and their women's team to themselves.

All leads to a big spend capability. they also purchased a load of high value players in the Abramovich era when PSR was but a pipe dream. Overall, there is / was a lot of value in the squad so their trading is much more effective than ours.

Hopefully we will be able to develop more talent and sign more commercial deals to level the playing field.
