Summer Transfer Window 2025

Textbook footballease. Any mentions of 'linking up with'?

The rarely seen triple swoop. I'm sure they always work out fabulously. Just ask these fellas.

Joao Carvalho, Diogo Gonçalves and Gil Días agree.

Even there, Mannini looks like their dad.

That photo handily doesn't show his legs, which turned out to be a good move, seeing as he had none.

Also aligning the badge and the Umbro logo with the edge of the sponsor print means the embroideries are to close to the armpits.

I’m on talkback for this kind of insider knowledge

We after a couple of English players which is interesting. Dominic Calvin Lewin is one of them. The other not sure about but whispers of Lewis Miley being available at newcastle which I find hard to believe. I am not sure Newcastle have PSR issues anymore but they might be hoping to go mental in the market (hoperfully not Elanga..) so maybe that is why the whisper is out there.

I would snap your hands off for both Lewis Miley and Nick O'Reilly. Cracking players. I am sure Anderson would love to play with his former team mate.

The first part of the window slams shut soon so i suspect the DCL thing is for July 1st. Good player but he is more injured than Taiwo so it probably wouldn't be great if he comes in and still. has hamstring issues.

Ah the silly season!

Chicago: Taking it easy in the off season.

Grealish left out of the City squad for the Club WC. Looks like he's definitely on his way out, which is good. Badly mismanaged by Pep.

The two part transfer window makes no difference whatsoever to us.

All it means is that any player we sign between the 10th and 16th can't be registered to play for us until after the 16th. Which, if you consult a fixture list, isn't much of a hardship.

The difference it makes is that if a team in the competition wants one of our players we can charge a hefty premium. I agree it makes no difference for us signing players.

Newcastle allegedly sniffing around Elanga again.

Sunderland have agreed a 33M euro fee with Dortmund for Jobe Bellingham. I'm not sure that selling your best players as soon as you get promoted is an optimal strategy.

It worked well for Sheffield United

That feels like a gamble IMHO. He's good, but I'm not sure he's that good.

I saw him in the flesh at Stoke in December. He was very good and looked classy, did far more than you can see on the TV. To play as many games in the championship as a teenager is pretty good going. It’s a good move for him, much better than getting hammered every week in the PL.
