Summer Silly Season Transfer Thread 2025

[Neutral Zone Ultra]

Just wondering, say Newcastle firm up their alleged interest in Muniz (possible of Isak goes?) and offer 50-55 million, would we be satisfied replacing with either Romulu or Hojland for 35-35 million?

100%, provided we spent that £20m (minus Flamengo's sell on) on someone else for the squad.

We'd still need a 3rd option too then. so 2 strikers in one window.

a 50m+ offer would be hard to not consider seriously, and I like the look of Romulo. so if it materilised this way I'd be hoping for the best with him.

But I love Muniz as a character in our squad and still think he can mature into a consistant player, would rather just add a Romulo level player regardless.

Hojland AND romulo for 55m? That I could be interested in, ton of upside potential with Raul on hand also. Hard to convince 2 players of that level to come in though together

[Lighthouse]

Well the whole strategy is to keep the squad as is. If we sell then it will mean we will be bringing in a better replacement. However, leaving it late and not bringing in a replacement will needless to say mean utter disaster for the squad.

I prefer to believe that if a player goes then it will be for big money and a better player comes in.

From what I am hearing Muniz to Atlanta is on, Atlanta and Muniz keen, if this happens and we do not sign, we could be well and truely fighting for survival, but hey, there is always the January Window

Do you honestly see a scenario where Atalanta stump up £40-£50m AND we allow him to leave with only Raul as our striker at the end of the window? That's some pint glass off empty of wee you're consuming if you think that poorly about the club and the way it conducts itself.

Agreed. Absolutely zero chance we let him go unless we have a replacement. We didn't let JP go to Bayern first year for exactly that reason and we won't with Muniz either.

This Kevin has only played 4 times as a striker but perhaps could be considered the third option if we get say got Romulo? Huge risk of course as no idea how well Romulo would perform but maybe the scouts think he's quality end of the day we do of course still have our first starter from last year in Raul. I suspect Romulo will go to Leipzig now anyway however and then it really is a case of who the hell would be go for? Back to Pepi perhaps with a big offer? Know there is a fair bit of love for Hojland on here and know he was good abroad but my god he's been bad in the prem. Always Marco to turn around players but really not a fan myself of that one.

I guess the counterargument is Mitrovic, who we let go and didn't properly replace (we signed Jimenez but he's not on the same level).

But we already had Muniz and Raul on the books. One we know Silva liked working with and wanted to give more game time, the other a proven goalscorer at this level albeit with a tricky spell with a tricky Wolves post injury. Like, I don't think thats the same as having one striker in your entire squad even if we get a silly offer in.

And as Drewry66 mentioned, we couldn't replace when Palinha had silly bids in for him so we'll happily not proceed despite an incredible offer if it means leaving us exposed that much.

Fair points. I just think we were a bit fortunate that Palhinha was fairly professional about the situation. If Muniz throws a hissy fit like Wissa is doing at Brentford and Isak at Newcastle, it's hard to see how we can hang on to him without it causing problems in the squad.

Hojlund would be a major upgrade on Muniz, I would bite your hand off now on that, guy has been playing in a one man disfunctional team at Utd, age on his side, proven in Italy, yes please

I'm not saying it won't happen, but Muniz comes across as a guy who loves the club and the guys he plays with and not that sort of character. I wouldn't say the same for Wissa and Isak but maybe Muniz does really good fake PR on Iwobi's and Basseys social media.

I'd imagine if he goes, we get paid and we'd invest. Like, the chap linked to Liepzig, Muniz leaving suddenly makes Fulham look a lot more appealing than entering a squad with two settled, and decent scoring stat strikers, in a side that you know will create chances.

I hope you're right, I guess I just don't trust footballers. Everyone banged on about how Mitro loved the club but one whiff of Saudi money and he was wanting out. I fear the appeal of Champions League football could be too tempting, especially at his age.

[FFC1987]

I think the likely position here is, the lad is on peanuts (if you believe capology etc) compared to a lot of the squad, particularly a player he contends with week in, week out and often gets the better of in Raul so he'll want what he thinks he's worth. If we've offered something already, he's likely hedging his bets to see if the offer we gave, is market value when compared to what other clubs would offer him.

I still think if a club comes in, offers him, and us mega bucks, a deal could well be made and I'd back the club not to induce a Silva walk out by suggesting to him he needs to compete for Europe (I think thats his and the clubs targets), with only Raul, a man who can;t do 90 minutes on the reg, and needs a rotating striker, especially in cup runs, as our only option for Silva, ie we will reinvest and give attacking options.

I'm often negative and cynical too but this one just feels so self defeatist I can't comprehend the scenario.

Can believe Muniz he's on 7:5 which seems how the boardroom like it and falls into the khans mindset, and we could lose Marco silva.

"From what I am hearing Muniz to Atlanta is on, Atlanta and Muniz keen" is a bit different to Sky Sports saying that Atlanta are going to come over for negotiations, your first post almost reads like you're repeating some cast iron news
