The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

With Semedo. The cost of buying a new RB of similar quality and paying anyone decent, is surely bigger than paying Semedo what he currently earns?

Is it too simplistic to just pay him a lower wage but a massive signing bonus or something?

They think the replacement is a already here. So we won’t sign anyone and they’ll save £5m.

If it's Rodrigo and I think it could be then I want to see him start at least 2 of the next 6, ideally Leicester and City as they'll provide different tests. It won't prove it either way but will give a clearer picture.

I neither agree or disagree with their thinking. We also have no idea what the plan for next season system wise is either.

Rodrigo playing will help us make a decision but they’ll have all the information they need and won’t need starts to prove anything to themsleves.

I feel they should be used bench options instead of starters. We need to win as many games as we can to try and move up the table; that's where the money is.

I dunno, 13th is the absolute max we can finish and 17th the lowest, it's a swing of about £10m in prize money. Using the next two months to see if Lima/Rodrigo is enough at RB could well mean that we don't buy a right back, which could be worth more than £10m.

Surely Vitor could tell by playing them without starting them and dropping his captain and upsetting his defensive set-up.
The alternative, as mentioned earlier, is to sign Walker Peters for free.

I see Doucoure is on a free at the end of the season.

Wouldn't be upset if we signed him, Munetsi max?

 

[Tony Towner]

Too many spells at both Watford and Everton when he couldn't be arsed for me

 

[PuntsWolf]

I see Dacoure is on a free at the end of the season.

Wouldn't be upset if we signed him, Munetsi max?

Fuck me Alan will have a field day here! Doucoure’s actually a good ball player!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Yes.

Thus why he's "max".

He's been playing up with Beto and it's worked really well, in the same way as Munetsi and JSL. But Doucoure is a far better footballer.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

What's with the "mmm" PW?

You're the one who has made it about race, it hadn't even crossed my mind. But its the first thing you think of?

Says more about you.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Doucouré is a shocking footballer

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Doucouré is a shocking footballer

And Munetsi is...?

 

[Sniffer]

And Munetsi is...?

He’s Munetsi
We bought him from the French League
Reminds me of a puppy
Always chasing around….

I’ll get me coat.

 

[Dire Wolf]

And Munetsi is...?

Much maligned.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

And Munetsi is...?

Well we don't bloody well need two of them, do we...

I think I'd prefer Munetsi in a straight choice, it isn't a straight choice as we already own one.

Everton fans can't stand him, he can't pass the ball five yards.

 

[Kenny]

Not sure i can trust their judgement after they angrilly rejected the chance of having a post match beer with Vitor.

 

[PuntsWolf]

What's with the "mmm" PW?

I disagreed with you and couldn’t be arsed to go over something which wasn’t that serious…

You're the one who has made it about race, it hadn't even crossed my mind. But its the first thing you think of?

Says more about you.

Wow. How lovely of you.

You compared two players who I see no resemblance from in play style or skill, only race. So I made joke that Alan would have a field day. It wasn’t that deep. But you’ve then for some reason used it to have a vile dig at me, thanks.

I heartily wish the unbearable pain that is Frankfurt Airport on him.
