Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

its not even a moan ya dumb ****

 

@oozkan how common is for Turkish clubs to terminate contracts of sellable assets with several years left on their contracts? Destan signed a contract extension until 2028 in February 2024.

From the outside, these deals for Lundstram and Destan have a whiff of some hefty bank transfers from an account in Puerto Rico going to Trabzonspor’s owners…

 

Sounds like they're letting him go for nowt with a 50% sell on clause in lieu of a fee?

 

This is the sort of thing that Man City have been charged with amongst their 115 or whatever it is. If we are doing this sort of thing then I wonder whether the equivalent EFL rules could eventually catch us in a similar way, potentially years down the line like with Man City.

 

Zambrano able to train from September. Wonder if we'll go back in after the hearing. Potential scenario: one window ban, loan until Jan then a permanent?

 

That's exactly what I think we'll be planning. Can have him in and not even register him if we wanted to as he won't be match fit until Jan anyway you'd expect.

 

Man City are still contesting all charges aren't they? They'll probably get a 3 point deduction and still win the league.

Shame we probably can't afford their lawyers

 

Who knows what's gone on in the past? How many owners / chairmen owe Acun a few favours?

 

Completely disagree with letting Jones go.

 

I reckon he wanted to go. Only a year left on his contract so if the reported £3M is correct then it's decent business. Whether Egan and this bloke whose supposed to be coming in from Towels are adequate replacements, TWT

 

Makes you wonder what Acun's got on Trabzonspor's owner

 

Are we still paying his wages? When did we stop?

 

Epstein island

 

We were told at the time of the original loan that there were mitigations for if he got banned, so unless that was fiction then maybe so?

 

Ditto

 

I made one of them from yogurt pots, margarine tubs, and sticky back plastic when I was younger, good old Blue Peter, oh...


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

For foreigners or older players or player with high wages, very common. Not common for youngsters, especially Turkish ones since they are not considered in limit of foreign players.

Enis probably asked to leave, because Trabzon already signed 2 strikers this summer, and they already had one from Ukraine so Enis became the 4th striker in team. I don't know why they let him go free though, they could have loaned him.

 

Btw since we are hunting in Turkish market, I am surprised we didn't go for Oxlade-Chamberlain yet.

 

Is the money going straight to Acun Medya? I don’t think so.

Have they used the interest in Alfie Jones to go to bank and take out a loan against a future payment? Maybe. It’s what it feels like to me.
