Transfer Rumours The “What the F**k’s the point in another transfer window thread- Winter 2025 Transfer thread

Obviously. We don’t do selling.

 

Perhaps Barnes isn't really injured

 

Crazy to reject £6m, if true.

That's the equivalent of a £30m transfer pot, as he is pure profit having been a free signing. Not to mention one of the highest earners off the wage bill.

 

I hope that's an opening salvo. I suspect if Kelly had 2 years on his contract at Bournemouth, we'd have been quoted £15m - £20m for him.
8 months on £6m feels a little low...

 

We are not a selling club.

 

However, Kelly wouldn't be on £150k a week in that scenario. So either we get the £15-25m transfer fee and Kelly drops his wage to about £50k a week or we accept a much lower transfer fee so that the buying club can pay Kelly similar wages.

 

Howe and the journalists have bleated on about psr so much that they'll get nothing but below par bids from clubs thinking they can catch a bargain.

 

We'll be looking for closer to 10m for Kelly

 

According to several sources we rejected an £11m but for Kelly. If true then I'm sorry but EHs comments on PSR and not having to sell promising youngsters again doesn't wash with me.

Please note my "if true"

 

We've reached a strange juncture in which fans now moan about not selling players.

 

Only when the club moans about psr

 

The only person that ever talks about it at the club is Howe and it's because the journalists ask him the same question over and over again.

 

Any deal to turkey is effectively scuppered by his wages. They are not paying him that.

 

Yep it’s these stupid club decisions that keep getting in the way.

 

Yes, this is sounding more and more likely. And you would suspect that we will attempt to sign a replacement this window if we do sanction Almiron's departure.

 

Just read this. Please let this be true.

Apparently we have rejected it?

 

Howe confirmed when asked about any incomings this month that the club isn't looking to recruit for any position this month and his job is to try to keep the players we've got.

 

Mitchell must have the easiest job in the world. He’s basically done nothing since he joined lol.
