Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

[Kalman II]

Return of the Mat could result in one of Palmer or slater being allowed to leave in Jan, opening up a new slot for whichever position were ****ed in by then

Matazo has a really low buyout clause, not too higher than what we paid for him. It depends on how quickly he recovers but someone may take the risk on him in January. Hopefully not as I’d like to see more of him.

Some window that for us, especially considering the constraints.
Not just in terms of incomings, but also the needed clear out.
And also that the incomings are clearly following a new brief that started becoming evident back in January, and now is very clear.
Great work. Well done Acun, Dublin, Hodge(without an s).

be a brave move when they could pick him up in the summerz would expect we'll get half a season at worst

 

[The B&S Fanclub]

City are pioneers in a new recruitment method and therefore way above the learning curve.. Don't buy players, what's the point? Just pick up ballers on the never-never, freebies and loans.....How long before it really catches on and every club starts doing it?

This window has clearly been down to Dublin and Hodge. The only thing Acun deserves credit for is us missing out on the likes of Frigan, Puerta, Zambrano etc. and ****ing Laalaoui and Rabat about.

Real madrid do it too

So we are ahead of the curve

What was the outcome with Laalaoui in the end. I may have missed it.

Talk about a stepdown lol

 

[Shark Sports]

Talk about a stepdown lol

I did think people talking about us being able to flip him for a profit was a tad optimistic. Looks like he went for around the fee we'd agreed

 

[Leftsaidfred-partdeux]

Dele Alli on a free anyone. He seems to come up every window now. I am joking btw.

 

[AlRawdah]

Talk about a stepdown lol

They are top of the league.

They are top of the league.

In the spanish 2nd div
That has b teams

Nine months away from squaring off against Jude Bellingham.

I don’t think they have B teams anymore. The highest they can go is the third division, if I remember correctly.

That was a fair price for him, absolute top end of his value. He’ll be a good player no doubt but nobody was paying £6m for him.

Im not talking about puerta next year

I was talking about now and it being a stepdown
Which it is

Kamaras gone to a la liga team

One B team - oddly, Real Sociedad.
