Summer Transfers 2025 (rumours and incomings)

[berlinpalace]

There's a story doing the rounds that we've turned down a £30m bid from Atalanta for Mateta.

According to the Guardian it was Atlanta Utd in the MLS not the crack Italian outfit. We rejected it when we’d stopped laughing, plus I doubt JP wants to go to the retirement home just yet.

the next Tony Pulis if we're not careful...

Being reported Holding is going to Colorado. That will be good for everyone as he was dead wood and his wages could now be diverted into a more viable prospect.

Yep, no holding him back now (hopefully).

With him and Ferguson out the door, I'm very intrigued to see who we're gonna sign to replace them in the treatment room/u21s... Or maybe França is already that player. Smart move if so, always prefer to get a replacement in before a departure.

 

[Putitout]

Let’s hope this opens the door for a decent central defender replacement.

 

[silvertop]

I think it’s been quoted by a source elsewhere that we are looking to bring in 3 players, a defender, attacking midfield and striker,

In addition or replacements?

If the latter - and Eze and Guehi stay - that means all out for a striker?

Personally I'd love to get additions in either of the 2 defenders we've been seriously linked with, Hackney in midfield and a decent Championship striker (?)... and keep our key players.

Greedy? Not if we qualify for EL...

On AM - Esse and Franca?

 

[crvenaeagle]

I wanted to suggest Adarabioyo but after a snoop it seems we've already tried and failed to get him this window.

Think he's going to Ipswich for £20m

 

[Casual]

He’s holding out for a premier league club.

There's a story doing the rounds that the exit clause in Eze's contract expires today.
The story implies that this leaves Arsenal free to negotiate a lower fee!

Good luck with that!

I don't see Parish prepared to engage in this at all and I don't see Eze pushing for a move.

I think Eze starts the season with us despite all the noise.

Guehi is more tricky as I think Parish will be reluctant to lose the chance to get a fee for him.
He can't be forced to leave though.

It is two weeks before the deadline closes from a few sources, including the BBC, could be rubbish.

Probably not a reputable source, but still one that these days that I'd trust ahead of thoroughly disreputable BBC.

Lets hope so, knowing that Eze stays would be a massive boost for everyone.

 

[taylors lovechild]

I haven't seen us linked with anyone close to filling Eze's boots, so I hope the club stands firm and says no to any bids. TalkSport referenced Arsenal only wanting to pay £55 million, which, when you take out QPR's cut, would only leave us with around £40 million. For that money, we'd be better off keeping him for two seasons and letting him walk on a free for the value he brings to the team. If Arsenal are serious, and want to show Eze that they are, then they need to pay his release fee or bugger off.

Even if Eze stays I still think we need another creative player in our ranks.

 

[crvenaeagle]

So who will our annual Chelsea loanee be this year then?

And for that reason I cant see that happening.

The whole point of the clause if that if anyone wants him, they can come in during the first half of the window and get him, but then we regain total control of the situation later in the window.

They had their chance to get him, now the price is higher/not at all.
