Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

Keeper from Scotland and a Northern Irish left back. Both signed for the academy and we owe compo on.

Can't remember their names, sorry.

 

Does compo count as a transfer fee? They are not the same thing.

 

It's still a fee. We can't pay fees under the fee restriction.

If it wasn't classed as one then there wouldn't be a resolution to be found.

 

Laaloui *should* be ratified but don’t think they’ll let us register. Supposedly off out on loan

 

Is that something you’ve heard? That’s something at least but it begs the question why the same doesn’t apply to Puerta i.e. the transfer is ratified but he can’t be registered.

 

May be the materiality of the transfer fee, plus the intention for Laaloui to stay whereas we were just going to flip Puerta, dunno.

 

Nearly 10x less of a fee probably makes a big difference. He supposedly told someone that’s what he’s doing. I hope it’s domestically so I can keep track easier

 

It's all just a mess, isn't it?

The lack of transparency to the fans is appalling. We know the club have ****ed up, but why not just publish what can and can't happen.

The Puerta deal just seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen as well.
