Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

I think three is a tad optimistic. With the kids we need an Alan Hansen type figure on City's case.

 

If it wasn't blue some would say it's Acun's fault.

 

What sky are you looking at? Its always grey here.

 

I’d probably argue a lot of ours were similar given Acun’s lofty unrealistic ambitions though:

 

Vital income is needed for cash flow. Acun taking this money out doesn’t really help him or the club as it will send us further into a spiral.

He needs cash quickly and also to get spending under control. Reducing the squad size (high earners) will help with wages and perhaps inject some cash from sales.

Even if the fee restriction was lifted, I don’t think we should be spending anything.

 

The sentiment here would carry much more weight if he hadn’t had such a mediocre season with AFC Wimbledon in League 2.

Im not sure if he had other things going on to mitigate this, but Furlong as a back up to Giles isn't our strongest area.

Premier League loan incoming I think is most likely.

 

Premier league loans don’t come free

 

Not ones you'd want anyway

 

He was **** anyway

 

Going through a slump at present,best avoided anyway

 

Premier League loan...Premier League wages?

 

Bottom feeder journalists and faceless twitter accounts jumping in and reporting rubbish to make a situation seem worse than it is. Eg City doing a structured deal, like most deals are done now, but reporting it as 'only this much up front'. Since when was this a way to relay the figure?

It is like those weather reports that now show scorching red parts of the UK to ramp up the fear of global warming. Just have a nice green map of the UK and a picture of the sun with 28 next to it please. No need for drama.

 

I missed out the word 'practice' after the word good. You're right, nothing to be getting excited about but they are dealing with the situation using the best possible method in my opinon.

 

Only issue is Wimbledon couldnt wait to get rid of him! Soft. Really soft.

 

There’s a different between instalments for a transfer fee and add-ons though. If the fee for Alzate is £1.5 million plus add-ons, it would probably mean three yearly instalments of £500,000 and any add-ons are performance-based. Same principle with Jones. ‘Well below £3 million’ probably means it’s closer to the fee reported to Alzate, payed in three or four instalments of £500,000 plus add-ons.

The initial fee is still important for PSR purposes as it’s how much we can bank as profit.

 

Dooahhh...Not surprised in the least. Never coming here. Total bollocks from minute one.

 

There will be affordable players in the Prem to get on loan but they will be so raw its probably more savvy to keep Furlong and pray to god Giles does not get injured and sorts his head out. You would think there has to be a player available somewhere to plug that back up spot for a couple or 3 grand a week. Looking on this list there are a few that would surely put a bit of pressure on Giles. Probably best leaving Williams alone!
