The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

At least the bus fare won't be too much to get him there....

I'll always have those pants he made me piss.

Nixon also says Galatasaray are after Sa and we value him at about £20m.

 

[Lycan]

£20M for Sá!

League goals are your currency, you can draw any old shite in the cups, it's random (see him scoring twice against a 40% strength Burnley team in the League Cup last season, who cares).

His record is diabolical and it was before he turned up here, he always looked awful.

you have been saying he was terrible since day 1. i didn’t really know, save a few glimpses on highlights of portugal games.

i’ve seen him play quite a few times now and you are right. he’s totally shit… ability and attitude wise.

we’ll struggle to get anybody to take him on a free.

£20M for Sá!

Yet we accept a mediocre fee for RAN. Make it make sense

 

[Tredman]

None of these numbers makes sense, its all obscene.

 

[Sniffer]

All very well thinking that £20m is a great fee for Sa (which it would be!) but there’s the problem of trying to replace him. No direct Cunha/RAN/Semedo replacement anywhere near the building yet so adding Sa to the list would mean that we’re 4 down in nailed on starters from last season.

No need to worry about it if the fee is £20M, nobody is paying that. He's 33 soon FFS.

Let's not forget we paid 10m for Johnstone who is no better than Bentley.

Johnstone is definitely better than Bentley. Nowhere near £10M though obviously.

 

[Jinky]

Also, the Palace lad isn’t a PL player from what I’ve seen.

Marginal imo. Johnstone is living off 'past glories' has been for years

Wasn't an endorsement of Johnstone btw. Bentley would be a liability in League 1.

Harsh man.

I've not seen any evidence of that.

I've not seen any evidence of that.

Hard to see any evidence when all he does is sit on his arse (and not even on the bench)

Well yes. But the few times he has appeared it's been genuine heart in mouth stuff a lot of the time. Bentley is no Yashin but he's not poorer than Johnstone imo.

 

[basher]

Both utter dogshit.

 

[Lycan]

Bentley is woeful. He'll regularly throw in absolute howlers. Total liability.

Johnstone is a fundamentally poor keeper who doesn't get near shots Premier League keepers should make in their sleep but he's not a complete joker like Bentley.

There are levels to the shit keeper game. Johnstone isn't good enough for Crystal Palace and Wolves, Bentley wasn't good enough for Bristol City 3 years ago.
