Summer Transfer Window 2025

As are Spurs apparently. You’d think he’s much more likely to go there.

We’ve had no problems selling players so far this summer but really do need to get a move in now getting them in. And good ones at that. Easier said than done but the Elanga sale is looking very daft now.

Edit: you have to wonder if the club has been naive with MGW and the release clause. They obviously knew about it and no doubt his agent has been touting it around and found a buyer, but it feels very sudden. Maybe the Elanga deal doesn’t happen if this had been last week.

How many home grown players do we have left now for Europa squad purposes?

Quite

The press love to fellate Frank. Spurs are somehow seen as the romantic’s club and the whole story underscores the importance of the Sky6 whilst the rest of the league are there to make up the numbers, provide players and not cause a fuss.

As I mentioned earlier, I am increasingly irked by the amount these guys can spend with apparent impunity and the size of their squads. Last season United and Spurs were genuinely shit, Chelsea made a late run and City were well below par. That will not be happening again. The clubs that made a challenge (Brentford, Brighton, Fulham*, Bournemouth, Palace, us) have largely had their best players taken, as have teams that should have done better (Wolves, West Ham).

*ok, not Fulham.

Well I assume Elanga wasn’t one of them…

Particularly if Brentford are remotely serious about their £50m valuation of a 29-year-old with 1 year left on his contract…

He ain’t worth that.

Product of United’s Academy, so he almost certainly was

Fuck the fucking fuckers, every fucking single fucking last fucking cunt.

Feels to me that he was relatively happy to stay, but Elanga going (his best mate it seems from Instagram) has pissed him off and he's told his agent to start talking to people about the release clause.

Peak Gammon, as opposed to Mince indulging in some shopping therapy on the other thread.

Well Nuno isn't too upset about all this. He's currently on his balcony overlooking the Trent, playing his handpan.

He might have a shock when he goes back in and picks up his phone.

A 60M release on a 40M purchase seems kinda low.
And kinda dumb in hindsight.

Although if true, it seems odd it wasn't triggered earlier.

Did he sign a new contract a year or so after signing? Can't remember

This has ruined my day
