Summer Transfers 2025 (rumours and incomings)

Its its anywhere near the numbers being quoted, they can have him.

Capable of the sublime, but is so inconsistent it hurts.

Completely agree - anything north of £50m and I think it's a no-brainer.

Phenomenally talented, and seems a thoroughly nice bloke, but for whatever reason this season has just completely passed him by - 3 league goals for a player of his quality is almost ridiculous.
 
Have just spoken to a Leicester Supporter. who told me that Edouard does not appear in matchday squads. Question - will he be allowed back (as one of our 25), or taken back and swiftly loaned out?

What is the remaining length of his contract?

If my memory serves me right, he signed a one year extention when he went on loan to Leicester so probably runs out in '26.

He was wanted by a MLS side, i think Charlotte FC, but he turned it down in January which was a shame for us!!

It’s the same as last summer I’ve heard. Clubs get a month to activate his £68m buyout clause otherwise he’s a Palace player.

Manure have also been linked with Semenya and a striker. Don’t know where they are going to get all this money from unless they sell some of their cr@p somehow!!

Why would Eze want to go to Man Utd who will finish below us in the league and have no Euro Competition involvement next season?

disagree that is not a good move.

I would rather have Joe as the number 3.

We need to stop having players just sit around.

Agreed! It is all about building depth of squad so as to rotate and earnestly compete across all competing formats of the game. Furthermore, by adopting this response, it becomes a statement to all first team players to believe in growth and aspirations of the club rather than be tempted by other, so-called bigger clubs elsewhere.

Our current No 2, Matt Turner is on Loan until the end of this season.
It is the model of plausibility that he will depart and Joe Whitworth installed as back-up to Henderson.
Time will tell.

Interesting debate /// who is better Goodman or Whitworth? Both having excellent seasons…

Yes he is which was odd choice to get him on loan but I'm not going to get into that.

Joe is not ready to be number 2 he would be a 3 or I expect they will loan him out to a higher lvl.

I could see us buying someone like Matt Turner who would be very cheap.

I don't see point in Mathews the whole point of 3rd keeper is they will be good enough if you need to put them in the guy had 0 experience at this lvl plus was never even in the lower leagues anything special so it made no sense (It's another one of those Palace choices to fill numbers up on the cheap not go for quality)

You have to have 3 'keepers in the squad. why do you think internationals always 3 'keepers in their squads?

It's a risk/reward thing - the club are running the 'risk' in having a 3rd choice keeper who is short of PL standard, but unlikely to ever be needed (1 league appearance in 3 seasons so far) and the reward is we make a saving on wages which can be applied elsewhere in the squad.

I make them right, personally - I couldn't even tell you who the third choice keeper is at most other clubs.

Forest paid £10m for him so i can't see them accepting much less, maybe £6m or 7m minimum. Would that money not be better spent on a younger, up and coming prospect assuming neither Whitworth or Goodman are ready??

My understanding is that the deal was £7 Mill rising to £10 Mill.
Not that proficient with ball at his feet and he has committed some errors when doing so.

Seeing as Leicester have just announced that Vardy is leaving at the end of the season, perhaps they'll keep Edouard?
