Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

[stubbo-admin]

May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.

Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

Window this close season comes in two parts:

Part 1: 1st June to 10th June
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September

[El Scorchio]

Well he clearly wasn't fit enough to even make the bench. What a signing....

[Council Scum]

Indeed it is.

No one in their right mind can be positive/happy about Wilson signing, I'm certainly not.

I'm happy with the other signings though, think we've done some good business.

if Wilson had been playing on Saturday he'd probably have had 2 goals. 

[Eerie Decent]

[Lee Trundle]

Yeah, BEFORE he signed

I wasn't suggesting you were saying all of that after he had signed?

Anyway, it's a pointless row.

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

Man City had a 20% sell on clause for Lavia when they sold him to Southampton so maybe he would have gone for less otherwise. I don't think Sporting had that kind of clause with Fernandes.

[fraser]

There was a bidding war for Lavia but they also got good money for Livramento was it £50 million? 

[Eerie Decent]

I can't see us weighing out anything north of £40mil including unrealistic add-ons. Anything up to that feels like we'll get an excellent player, given what we've read and the snippets seen of him.

Feels like we won't get this one done, sadly, but fingers crossed.

[OGS]

Class finish, but also Fernandes started that in his own half, saw the space and directed the ball to the right hand side, and made a run to the box to finish it off. Impressive.

Didn't Saints hold out for £50m+ for Lavia a couple of seasons ago - and Lavia was younger and had played fewer games for them than Fernandes has? Think we're going go have to pay up IF Potter and co think Fernandes is the midfielder to build everything around.

[El Scorchio]

So, the usual practice gobbling up Salthouse's shit greedily and asking for more hasn't helped a jot when it comes to getting one of his players who is actually any good. Hope Sullivan wakes up a little bit.

[RBshorty]

Decent finish from Fernandes last night

Yeah. £30 million ain’t cutting it Dave.!

[fraser]

[Eerie Decent]

Yeah, BEFORE he signed, I was refusing to believe it would happen, because I thought it was a shocking deal for us.

When he signed, I said on here what a shocking, shit signing it was for us. Hence saying to Jaan that we all moaned about that signing when it happened.

What is it you're failing to understand? I didn't have you down as being this thick?

[Lee Trundle]

Go and read again.

None of this really matters, but completely lying is a bit pathetic, son.

I'm not lying.  It was how it came across to me, that you were trying to be positive and trying to calm everyone when they were losing their shit over Wilson joining.  Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick about everything you posted about the potential deal below?

"I'm calling bollocks on that. Him and Wilson might end up signing, but to say the deals are done is horse shit, so I'll leave being pissed off about it until it actually happens."

"I just can't let myself believe, given what has gone on  in the last couple of years, that he'll be thick enough to sign Wilson.

Won't happen. Can't happen."

"Him and Wilson might end up signing, but to say the deals are done is horse shit, so I'll leave being pissed off about it until it actually happens."

[Fauxstralian]

A couple of German clubs interested in Buonnotte
Brighton would prefer to loan him in the Premier league for his development with us Leeds & Forest interested 

Developing players for Brighton
Not sure that was what moving to London Stadium was meant to achieve 

[Alan]

The Mail is reporting that Brighton are willing to loan out the midfielder Facundo Buonanotte and that we are in for him.

[Fauxstralian]

Supposedly they’d scouted this Muckau & if Saturday was an audition he passed & according to reports (I didn’t watch) 20m Euros is a no brainer
Dont know the other Lille player but presumably gettable from a French club

Fernandes I’d go higher to maybe 35 or 40 with add ons but not 50 or 60
El Khannous of Leicester I believe has a buyout around 20 which expires this week. Newcastle sniffing around I read

[Eerie Decent]

Go and read again.

[Lee Trundle]

You moaned about Wilson, but then again, we all did


 

Did you not then, Trunds?

I moaned like an absolute bitch about it.

I thought you were being positive and trying to calm people like myself by saying it wasn't going to happen.

[Eerie Decent]

Did you not then, Trunds?

[dealcanvey]

Mate of mine is a Saints fan. Said he came on and changed the game for them at the weekend. Much bigger chance of them going up if he stays. Can’t see them accepting less than 40m.

Did say they have to trim the squad. Would rather they sold dibling for big money rather than Fernandes. 

Excess 40m sounds a bit bonkers. surely better value out there but that would require a decent scouting network. 

[Iron Duke]

If we can get him for £35m, I wouldn’t be unhappy. I thought £30m was a reasonable offer, but I don’t know if we actually offered that much and how mach of it was performance based, so it could be the structure of the deal that was the issue.

[Lee Trundle]

Before we go out and start signing young African players bear in mind it’s an AFCON year and we are already losing a number of 1st team players. 

Racist.

[twoleftfeet]

[Ron Eff]

He doesn’t look purely a ball playing midfielder to me. He looks like he can do it all. 

I’m not saying we should pay £50m but I equally don’t think we should sign the wrong player just because they are available at £25-30m. If the deal can be done at £35m, and it’s who the manager really wants, I think it’s probably worth the extra £5m gamble.

He’s 21, POTY in his first season in the Premier League. There is a real chance of a lofty ceiling if he is as good as those that watch him have said. It’s incredibly lazy to say “yeah but they were shit”. Was Joe Cole not worth signing when we went down? Or Parker the next time?

Hypothetically, if he moves in a few years for north of £60m, people are going to say “we could have had him for £35m, another fuck up” much like they are with Etikite, who incidentally was generally deemed a flop on his immediate move from Reims to PSG, until he recovered his rep at Frankfurt.  

£50m is not the right value fwiw, but I think that’s posturing. He’ll go for less than that.
