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

The west ham forum makes for an interesting read. Some of them seem to think the reason we would accept £30m is because we f*cked up the Dibling deal and now Everton have moved on.... They don't realise that we don't want to sell either of them - Everton walking away is pretty much what we all want!

 

£30m loan fee for this season, then £35 million obligation to buy if we don't get promoted. You're welcome, Hammers.

 

But they don’t see it that way and neither do Everton fans. Everton fans really interpreted the “Everton have walked away” and “Everton have signed Grealish on loan” as some kind of power move that would make us run after them and beg to sell Dibling to them

 

I think we should just give West Ham Fernandes for nothing.

They got KWP on a freebie, we pay for their stadium, seems harsh making them pay for something

 

But then they would have to pay his wages, which seems unfair. Let’s loan him permanently and carry on paying him ourselves!

 

But not his hair.

Boro in for Taylor?

 

Awful source, but would be fine with that. Decent player, but we don't need him, and if we can get a half decent fee all good.

Princewill Ehibhatiomhan to Swindon for the year. One to keep an eye on.

 

Although there is a difference between ‘we don’t want to sell’ (the fans) vs what the owners want. Those two things may be aligned, but they may not be….

 

Forest signing McAtee, could mean they no longer want Fernandes. Think they play the same position

 

Newcastle have a strong interest in Leicester City and Morocco attacking midfielder Bilal El Khannouss, 21, but face competition from Leeds.

Everton are interested in Leicester's 21-year-old Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu after failing with multiple bids for Southampton's 19-year-old England Under-21s winger Tyler Dibling.

 

Eduard Spertsyan’s agent speaking in Armenian media:

We have already had contact with Southampton’s representatives.

The club presented its project, the vision of the head coach and sporting director, as well as the role they see for Eduard. They view him as a core player around whom the team will be built.

Such a level of interest is very rare. I am confident that in the new season the team will return to the Premier League with a big lead.

In the Championship, they stand out both in squad quality and in finances.

 

OK, now I'm getting excited.

 

Also their new stadium cost a lot. They can’t be be that flush with the cash

 

Would be doubly good if the previous post happened and Everton stole Fatawu as well...

According to my friend
@gotnba
,

The transfer of Eduard Spertsyan to Southampton is close!
The player has accepted the contract offered by the English club.

The management of Krasnodar and Southampton plans to hold talks this week.

 

I’m wondering if we need a St! Thread? It may swing it.

 

Not yet!

 

Would we really build the team around him? Surely he only becomes the star man if Fernandes goes. Also if he's as good as some people seem to think (I have never seen him play so have no opinions), then why hasn't he got a move to a better league before now and why are bigger teams than us not in for him at the sort of price being banded around? That's peanuts in todays world and doesn't represent a risk to a lot of clubs even if it doesn't work out. I asked the robots about him and they seem to think Leeds are interested. Maybe he's on their list behind El Khannouss as he seems to be their main target in that position.
