believe the sum is ok just the structure that’s still getting negotiated
Summer Transfer Thread 24/25
- Thread starter Bigpig
- Start date
Massive fee, £15-20m is what I would have though we were going to get, no doubt that £40m+ will be going back the other way for MGW sometime in July.
De Ligt worries me a little because they’re knee injuries. And quite a number of injuries too.
Zirkzee I’m not really sold on. But we have to trust the new guys identifying these players.
I’m most excited about Ugarte to be honest. Think he’ll bring a lot of presence and fight.
Oh ffs that didn't last longBrentford in for Archie Gray!
I'm loving this PSR faff!

I’m baffled how Spurs are still considered a big 6 club. They last won the league 62 years ago and the fa cup 23 years ago. They’ve won one league cup in the last 23 years.

Are you suggesting the Audi Cup doesn't count?

A couple of interesting targets are progressing. Manuel Ugarte looks a direct replacement for Casemiro which will hopefully balance the wages in favour of PSR. Joshua Zirkzee is an odd one in my opinion. Great first touch and loves to drop deep and I can see how that kind of player Might work with a fit again Martinez playing the ball through the lines. Would still love an established and 'Proper Number 9' so maybe they will keep Rasmus exclusively as the traditional 9.
De Ligt is the odd one for me, as him and Brathwaite seem to have a few of the same characteristics, no doubt come with an inflated wage demand but apparently hes a leader in the dressing room, hard to believe he is only 24. Still not convinced he would do well playing in a high line defence.

Di Ligt feels like it could end up like Hargreaves! Those injuries worry me a little, just depends on the fee i guess but i'd hope it'd be a lot less than last time we were looking at him.

We shouldn't touch injury prone players with a bargepole. We have enough of them already and we don't seem to have any capability to cut our losses or negotiate contracts in light of players lack of actual playing contribution.
Tbf I’d enjoy a big 10 and have a league that’s always competitive at the top.
Would be more enjoyable than the same 2/3 horse race we’ve had the past half decade or more.
He's injured far too much. What arent United getting...stop signing players that love an injury especially very expensive one.
A couple of Newcastle journo's are reporting that Newcastle are concerned that Gordon's had his head turned by the links to Liverpool. I think he's a decent player but not worth the fee he's likely to command however if he were to really push for the move, refuse to return to pre-season etc then I'll be fully on board with Liverpool paying a world record fee for him. The fume from Evertonian's plus woppy & Bigpig would be worth £200m alone
