Summer transfer window 2026

Transfer fee amortisation is a cost and profits/losses in transfers go through too (quick look suggested through the revenue tether than the cost).

Rumour has it that we are not interested in Hayden Hackney.

Yes, I'm not disputing that that amount of revenue as a cash sum allows us a lot more breathing room under the new model, I was just pushing back on Jim suggesting that we had to sell quickly to meet the PSR deadline. Nothing I've seen suggests we're at any risk of sanctions over financial performance.

It seems odd that it is seen such a big deal anyway.

I think you missed some nuance. I'm suggesting that if we don't sell early, but spend the money we are expecting to get from Anderson in advance, and then for some reason the sale doesn't happen (someone calls our bluff, an injury, etc) then we will be in trouble with PSR (squad cost ratio whatever) when that comes around. There's many advantages to getting our business done asap and I would take a (modest) hit on the Anderson deal to attain that position.

Given Marinakas track record with negotiations, I suspect he’ll be looking too maximize as much revenue as possible for Anderson, besides a good work cup campaign and it probably adds another 5-15 million* on the value.

Numbers can vary as it’s likely only a premier league team who buys him.

I wish these rumours would make their minds up. More from rumour...

Maybe I’m missing something but I’d guess Elanga could be tweeting see you in America because he’s going to be playing for Sweden in the World Cup. In America. But also a swap for Ndoye works for me.

I don't even get what other meanings there could be from that Tweet.

Ah. Just researched. I didn't appreciate he send it to N'Doye. Which is a bit odd given they didn't cross paths at Forest, and from the top of my head nowhere else either? Unless they are friends socially. Perhaps through Aina? Anyway. Yes please. Can we get him for £35m?

Hackney twist - he wants to go to Everton, according to Ornstein. Maybe Shady's view that he plays too far forward to be an Anderson replacement holds?

He'd prefer to go to Everton rather than Man Utd, mmmmm! Anderson gets forward when he can, I don't see him as a purely defensive midfielder. I don't think Hackney is a no 10 like MGW so yes he would be a replacement for Anderson. Players in the same position don't all have exactly the same strengths etc.

Been a few reports - P Taylor among others that we aren't really pursuing him. May be an element of "didn't fancy her anyway" about it, of course.

Hackney to Everton?
Hayden to nothing.

Surprise sympathy

I wonder if Everton are selling Garner? Not sure how Hackney gets in the side ahead of him.
