Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

Don't think he won owt.

 

What lovely company he keeps. Dictators, racists and terrorist organisations.

But he brought concessions back

Loan bid for Drameh rejected. Derby County

 

Not to a relegation rival.

 

our first maybe signing Ben Khaleq (or something ) from Morocco has been 'aborted'... couldnt get a work permit.,

 

Can someone with knowledge enlighten me, what are the work permit rules for Championship? I am only aware of PL ones.

 

Great start

 

Maybe he might rock up at NK Maribor instead.

 

Could anyone work out what Acun said regarding Zambrano? something about still wanting him? very confusing..

 

One good thing seems to have come out of the interview is that it looks like Pandur, Egan, Hughes, Belloumi, Miller, Matazoa will be here next season along with more wingers.

Not really a lot on Zambrano if we are keeping him it would be silly not to he could be outstanding when he is back with no worry on his mind.

And like he said these are our players we own them.

Another point made he had discussions with some parties who thought we had a strong squad which makes me think he will bring more strong players in in case there are further talks one still ongoing about investment so an eventual sale with a squad of players we own makes it easier and gives a stronger position if/when they sell.

 

I get the impression Alfie Jones days might be numbered. A question. When Alfie first came here he played in front of the back 4. Does he have the nous to play that anymore...?

 

If I see him I will ask for you .

 

I wouldn’t have said so, isn’t good enough on the ball, which I expect is why he got dropped towards the end of last season. He’s a solid reliable defender but does have his limitations imo.

 

I think he's much better on the ball than Egan who replaced him.

 

I didn’t think we needed Egan when he signed but I’d definitely start him ahead of Jones now.

 

Jones quality the ball has deserted him. I think previously he played the simple ball, but since the emergence of Hughes he has tried to be more expansive with dire results.

The vast major of his long balls usually find the oppositions keeper. Egan doesn’t try to be spectacular, so is a better partner for Hughes.

 

The economy would eventually collapse.

With roughly 700k new births per annum in the uk, at 15k quid per birth that's roughly 10 billion per annum, ad infinitum. Funded by what? Increased taxes levied on businesses and the workforce?? What would be the impact on inflation?
If that 15k quid was in a tax deferred savings investment vehicle at that 10% interest rate, by age 45 the now grown up child would have over 1,000,000 quid in savings. Presumably having worked for 23-25 years out of those 45 years, they would have saved/invested a chunk more of their "earned" income from employment. What would the incentive be to continue working ? Businesses would find it difficult to recruit from a diminished workforce and would not be able to maintain growth through output, unless of course technology could replace bodies to improve efficiency. Again, how would inflation be impacted?

I'm no economist.
