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

More likely to keep Fernandes now as well. Good deal all round.

 

If we announce

if we call anyone back to sell Fernandes I actually WILL be pissed

 

At £42m and with a 20% sell on, the young vicar has gone in peace with our blessings.

 

ABK going now. Wow I'm powerful.

 

I always took some vicarious pride and pleasure out of Gareth Bale's CL exploits, hopefully Tyler can emulate him in some way.

 

I don’t understand the buy option? He won’t be contracted to us at the end of the season will he?

 

Nope, i thought the same

Unless it's an obligation or agreement to sign him at the end of his contract

 

True. It’s good for our academies reputation if he goes on to be a world class player like Bale!

 

Beto up top, O’Brien right back with Grealish and Dibling pulling the strings…

I’m personally not sure Everton and Moyes represent the best move for him in terms of development but best of luck to the lad.

The fee and structure seems decent enough, and it’s more important for us in the short term at least to keep Matty, so I’m hoping this secures that for us.

 

Not just a percentage of anything over the £42 million paid?

 

Barry will replace Beto when he's up to speed.

 

Agree with all the sentiments, good for finances & reputation if he does well. This has got me very excited to see us get stuck into our own business now though!

 

Don’t be silly, this is Lincoln!

 

Maybe it's an option to buy him at a really discounted price in January to avoid other clubs jumping in during the summer when he's a free agent?

Or maybe he's extending for 1yr to facilitate the loan move but I'm really not sure Saints could be arsed to deal with an extra year of ABK

 

More chance of me signing up for Saints as a player than them being willing to sanction an additional year of ABK

 

I really hope we sign someone exciting. Armenia gotta hope, right?

 

We'll end up extending his contract for a year. Then Nantes won't activate their option. Then we'll have him back again and the whole saga can drag on.

 

It's the hope that kills you!

 

.

but why would they? Surely they’d just wait for expiry & sign? Unless it’s a type of gentleman’s agreement but very strange.
