Summer Silly Season Transfer Thread 2025

[Tabby]

On Bournemouth, has the manager came out and said anything? Feel like he's a decent ambitious manager but not sure what he's got to work with at this rate!

Iraola acknowledged the need for more signings before the Premier League opener against Arne Slot's Liverpool. He stated that while they are not yet where they want to be, significant changes are expected by the end of the transfer window. "It's not about [us taking] the next step, it's about preparing for the next season," said Iraola.

From the pre match press conference. Or to translate it into how Silva is interpreted: He has SLAMMED the board for their FALSE PROMISES.

See things have moved along a lot today.

Teammate Andreas Pereira has even posted a "Se queda" message on Instagram, urging him to stay – a nod to Gerard Piqué's famous post with Neymar in 2017, only for the forward to leave Barcelona soon after. We will see what happens this time after Pereira's potential jinx.

Aaah, so "se queda" in football means "we want him to stay, but he is leaving". haha

McAteer reportedly going to Forest £25m !
Young box to box midfielder if ever a gift horse staring you in the face?

And yet:

Nuno on Forest's situation:"We are very very far from where we have to be. We are very worried. The plans we had didn't come true. We didn't have a chance to create a bond, because we don't know what kind of squad we'll have.We still have players working who know they'll leave on loan.Major problem"

To be fair I like mcatee though, but CAM isn't really a positon we're most needing or reportedly focussed on. Would block Josh King minutes. Esr-King-AP-Cairney plus Wilson and Iwobi 🤷 other places more important for now.

Forest, having got a nice extra bump up the European ladder have got a helpful slice of luck to get some nice names in the door.

He is an attacking midfielder, not box-to-box one. The position we already have Smith-Rowe, King and Andreas Pereira.

Nottingham Forest bought 4 players more, all in one day. I think they have bought 100 players or more for those 3 Premiership years, madness.

Why madness ? They've guaranteed they won't be in the relegation conversation this season, some might say shrewd.

MGW is defiantly being sold next year then, they cant be within the bund of FFP or PSR, unless they sell another reject to Greece for a small fortune

Players have apparently used it since that famous meme when a player is actually staying so it is far more likely he meant that.

It's all doom and gloom.
Think I'll fly away on my broom.
I cant take much more.
Of nobody through the door.
I've had enough of the Gossip.
It's getting me down.
Think I'll jump in the Thames.
And hope that I'll Drown.🙂

Perhaps not the best thing to say.

Suicide is not something that should be joked about.

Oh, the way things are going you seem on the brink
If you jump in the river, you probably won't sink.


Oh, my goodness you do seem on the brink
They way things are going, you probably won't sink

Wouldn't Beachy Head be more suitable, Coastwalker? But seriously, it's only football transfer rumours. A win at the Amex and all will be right in the world. Best not to joke about such things. Take it from me as someone who lost a close relative to suicide.

I'm still waiting for the Jay and Angus podcast! I am dead serious it is something I want to listen to!

I maintain a charity boxing match might be more fun 🤣

That said, Ya probably on to something here : the "black and white" podcast? Given the two very different sides of the debate.

Have suffered with depression all my life. My negativity was always there. In the seventies and eighties and nineties are lost in Fulham. One of the things I needed. But like most friends you rely on. They were never there when you needed them most..

Transfer rumours and millionaire footballers and coaches and billionaire owners. Mad and rude fellow fans. All mean less to me than they did. There is always something to make it seem less hostile. Life isn't Fulham anymore.

Suicide, depression is something we must all understand as sadly more people genuinely suffer and the age is getting younger. But joking is fine. It upsets nobody. Life is what upsets us and other peoples stupidity. The Super League will be here long after we are gone. Millionaires will become billionaires and all us plebs will want to contribute. Life is no longer football. They took that away long ago.

Give it a rest it's a f****** joke.
Dearie me.

I've removed it.
It was a Spike Milligan type ode.
And he suffered from depression.
Lighten up for f*** sake.
