Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

Those all just seem examples of straight loans being terminated to sell to another club.

Cannon, for instance, was just a straight up loan, there was no option in that deal with Stoke.

I do wonder if there are examples of options being overridden with a penalty fee paid instead, but presume that would have particular windows to trigger. E.g. we didn't have an option to buy Rushworth, but there was a recall window (other than in cases of injuries, which is eventually how they recalled him) but I do wonder if we had an option to buy a keeper (e.g. Baxter) and Chelsea lost all their keepers to injury whether they would have been able to override our option.

Again as above though, the instances of something like that happening are so incredibly rare or non-existent (as evidenced by Google not really showing any examples of players with options in their loans being recalled/sold to another club) that we're using a lot of energy mulling over a hypothetical that just won't happen. If we want to buy Oscar he'll be ours, if we decide against it, he will likely join another club either now or in January. And that's all there is to it.

 

Whatever happened to that Huddersfield winger who was playing in France?

Wasn't his contract supposed to be up this summer. We in for him?

 

I can’t see anyone signing him till his ban expires bar us.

 

I do mean the club!

 

To show how unlucky we were last season.... Barry (Villa) cost is a 7 figures loan fee plus all of his wages... sports saying he will go out on loan again with Birmingham and Wrexham making enquiries...

 

Yeah, I’ll be surprised if he’s here next season. Would like him back but I don’t see it.

 

Hopefully our good relationship with Villa might help him to come back here. Plus it was already reported back in January that discussions took place for him to come back in the summer.

 

You would hope it’s true that the reason we paid such a hefty loan fee was to get him this year but I don’t hold much hope

 

But our constant instability can't help. Whilst other clubs can say this is our game plan, this is our manager, these are our aims and budgets and here's where you'll fit in, we'll have to tell him yeah we want you, and we hope that whoever our manager is will want you, not sure where he'll fit you in or what he'll want from his wingers but don't worry about it we'll make it work...

 

Barry didn’t look like he was about to set the league alight anyway.

 

And that's the problem. Even if by some miracle we have a manager in place by the end of the week, given the previous form of the owner, would you want to come and play under a manager who may not be in the post in 8 months?

I reckon that plenty of players would have their doubts about it, and would probably need more money to persuade them.

 

This has dragged on for too long, City have probably missed out on signing players, the clowns have to get it right this time.
Oh sorry again, that's a Cardiff fan talking about their managerial vacancy.

Glad we're holding ourselves to a high standard.

 

My standards are much like Groucho's principles.

More bad news FFS

 

It is unusual to see transfer topic silent for hours in summer period.

 

There's apparently an announcement imminent but I've so far been wrong on everything I've said on this management appointment so don't hold your breath.

 

Kal’s giving acun the birthday thumps…..sorry bumps
