The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

That Leverkusen winger looks like he's signing for Bournemouth btw.

Fucking hell, what a time to start playing hard ball

And yet we had our pants around our ankles for RAN right at the start of the window! It's absolutely bizarre!!

The Aït-Nouri one was weird, I'm not sure this one is.

Yeah i get us trying to drive the price up, but why we didn't with RAN is a bafflement.

Yeah, we effectively left £10M minimum (some of that going to his old French team obviously) sat on the table.

I can understand him leaving in this window, especially when he rejected the contract offer and changed his agent, but I'll never understand the fee.

If Fabio Silva doesn't leave on a permanent deal this summer, I'm going to really moan.

This is totally weird btw. Where have they got those names from? They're not even on the list!

Someone on the research team having a laugh. Cassava doesn’t even play for Corinthians anymore.

You've got to the root cause there...

I'll see myself out.

Nothing wrong with trying to negotiate from a position of strength (we should have done with Ait-Nouri, we did actually do it to a point with Ratheus Nunes as we told City where to go when they tried lowballing) but we AREN'T in a position of strength with Fabio Silva.

He's on a free in 10 months, he doesn't want to be here, the club don't want him here, the fans don't want him here, I very much doubt the manager wants him here (on more than one level), it's over FOUR YEARS since he scored a Premier League goal and it's not like his form on loan has been so irresistible that it's a no brainer for someone to chuck us £15m+, he did ok at Las Palmas but not much more than that (and La Liga has long since stopped being a reliable barometer, some utter tripe has topped 10 goals in that league in recent years, cough Willian Joke multiple times and Rafa Mir cough).

'Instead of lowering their demands, Wolves have increased the asking price, now requesting €25million (£21.6m) plus €5million (£4.3m) in bonuses, while the early-season agreement for Silva’s sale is in the range of €20-€25million (£17.3-21.6m) all-in.'

Silva starts V City, plays well and scores

Leipzig look to have moved on too

Because he does not want to be here George .
The Manager has not included him in any match day squad in July/August , so clearly does not want him .
He costs far too much in wages compared to what he is contributing .

 

[Carrotdude]

We do some stupid shit at times but this is absolutely idiotic. Especially after we bent over at the first hint of a bid for RAN which was barely more than we’re rejecting here for an outcast who hates us and isn’t very good and is out of contract soon.

 

[Jack Regan]

It must be Jeff trying to save face right? He was the one giving it all the generational talent bollocks when we signed him.

If we let him leave for peanuts then it reflects badly on him for chucking all that money at Porto (without recouping some of it) in the first place, and we know his ego is the size of the death star.
