Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 1 - 10 June, 16 June - 1 September

I still don't see who the hell would be willing to pay us £20m for him though.

 

I think we are stuck in too much of a Saints mindset where we think 20m is a big fee because it’s pretty close to our record. Pretty much every club now in the PL has a transfer record of almost double ours

And if he slots into a much stronger defence he might well be considered a good investment

There was a “realistic transfers” video from I think The Athletic that linked him with Manchester United of all places. He was linked with West Ham in January. Bournemouth are selling defenders for 50m. It’s not impossible that they look at replacements in the 20m bracket.

 

Although you might lose many battles you must always remain undefeated.

 

I don't think we would sell for £20m - what would be the point?

We paid £20m for him and he has now had a season the in the PL, albeit a bad one, and been capped for England. We would want to make a profit for sure.

 

Thank **** we'll never hear that horrific song again.

 

We are after Lewis O’Brien from Forest according to Alan Nixon. Birmingham also interested

 

Let Birmingham have him.

 

Feels like a rumour that comes up a lot. Don’t know much about him but I’m assuming he’s one of those who is good at Champ level but can’t hack the PL. Potentially a loan could be a decent option

 

I think he's only got a year left on his contract, so I assume Forest would rather sell. That said, they've been trying to offload him for so long now, that they probably would accept a small transfer fee for him now (not that I would want us to pay it).

He was OK at Huddersfield, but I'm not aware that he's done much since - whether at Forest or the various sides they've loaned him out to.
