Summer Silly Season Transfer Thread 2025

[Jules]

Didn't we pay 20m for him? If yes, I'd take close to 35m for him with 15 goal contributions. He's great but as someone had mentioned he goes missing for an entire month every season because of AFCON.

If they offer £26-£27m despite the fact I like Iwobi, I would accept it. He's 29 so it's unlikely we'd get that type of fee for him again.

[FishaPrice]

Pretty sure Iwobi is one of our best players. He also can play on both wings and central midfield. Replacing him would cost a lot.

Can't see silva accepting no improving of the squad by the club not going to happen

possible counterpoint could be can't see the club being eager to splurge when the manager only has a year left.

Things will pick up in the days before we return to pre season.

Make you right Mike. We've been down this road before. Manager wants investment in squad Board want commitment from manager. Club have a flush where Silva only 2 pair currently? Fancy Marco might bluff this one?

We're a very boring club when it comes to transfer windows aren't we.

Early yes...but we always do well in the end. Sure by deadline the majority of us will be pleased with the business done.

[David Ornstein] Newcastle United pushing to secure signing of Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest. New bid for 23yo Sweden international worth more than £50m + bonuses. NUFC efforts to finalise deal with NFFC ongoing + work also needed on player side The AthleticFC

Is this not mad money for Elanga?

Yes , crazy money, had a good year though at forest but fell away like most of their team did after a great start

Never worth that , but no doubt will allow them the funds to buy fofana for a similarly bonkers fee

Yes!

Definitely a phenomenon where I trick myself into thinking this year will surely be different, god knows why I make that mistake so regularly.

Would love to see us go for Asensio from PSG (on loan at Villa from Jan and see there not making it permanent) read they only want 15m.. probably massive wages but what a player!

Could this one be getting closer.
