Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

[KingstonSpur]

Absolutely wild that they took a photo of MGW and Maranakis for the new contract story. Such a blatant "fuck you Levy" move.

He will leave next summer for much more than 60m, prob to one of our rivals. We have been mugged off in a way that only seems to happen to Spurs.

 

[oldwiltshireyid]

So MGW just wanted more money at Forest.
He never made a fuss about leaving so he obviously didn't ever intend to move to us.

Done Levy up like a kipper

I think this gangster owner threatened his family or something , he is literally being held hostage!

 

[Notabadsquad]

Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Chelsea all clubs that have sold out who they are for ridiculous debt or negligent owners just for a flash at power or success. All a bit of a disease on the game and sadly none of them seem to give a fuck about it.

The shame of it is how there's so little noise in the media about the crooks in charge at clubs. The media are just as crooked though so hardly a surprise.

I think MGW ends up regretting this later on down the line. His loss, we move on and focus on getting Frank in what he needs if Levy is smart.

Really good post, although as a club with all the plus points we hold, we should be doing more.

It is however a fact that in this current window, it's only the 4 clubs who are plundering the transfer market....... so far.

 

[Sir Archibald Crooks]

Basically we're doing to Frank what we did to Nuno, fucking him over before he's even srarted. Ok he's first coice not 6th or 7th but the fucking brains trust that run this club are giving him no chance.

 

[ElTel]

Was never sold on MGW to be honest. Played well in a team that surrendered the ball and had to lowest passing and touch stats in the league - the opposite of Spurs style.

Demonstrates we are willing to spend, and it wouldn't surprise me if we don't already have a player to announce tomorrow.

Eze would be the obvious target. My mate at telegraph recons some player called Enzo Millot

I think Millot is going to A Madrid ......never heard of him before or seen him play but he seems to be rated by people who have seen him play

This deal was dead to me about a week and a half ago. So I'm past being annoyed at the player not coming..

What I'm not past being annoyed at is that we've so obviously been idle and frozen for the past 2 weeks or so, waiting for some kind of conclusion.

What I'm not past being annoyed at is that we allowed ourselves to be bantered. When the deal was obviously off, you leak to your mouthpieces that you're pulling out of the deal. You're moving on. "Too much hassle, bigger fish to fry". You do not let the club become a prop for the owner at Forest to stand on and claim a victory.

We should have been after the Georgian at Lyon or Simmons eze etc. now we are fucked as other clubs know we have money and our desparate. I’d get Douglas luiz, the Georgian, a LB and another CF. Then hope for the best.

 

[Fattynomates]

Or … and I know this sounds crazy.. it was all a load of bollox in silly season

The 1 year
Contract extension is a bit suspect though , surely if there was nothing to it he would still be running his contract down like he was all last season?

 

[ElTel]

If that money is real, go get Ederson (Atalanta) - he will be a better fit than Gibbs White

Click to shrink...

Different skillset but he is a good midfielder.....
I'm just wary of signing Brazilians as the ones we've signed before have largely failed to perfom

 

[Get in!]

Or maybe, it was all a load of bollox?

Still insisting on your alternate reality, I see. We bid, potentially triggered a release clause, NF pressured the player not to leave, NF "convinced" the player to stay.

Them's the facts. To suggest that this was all made up by Ornstein and Romano and the BBC and a ton of other journalists is what is bollocks.

Yeah Mitkauadze at Lyon. If Son goes this guy would be a decent option for that wide left attacking role

 

[oldwiltshireyid]

I like Gallagher.

All his family are Chavs , he ain't coming here

 

[The Mercurial No.10]

What is Lange doing? How does he still have a job?

Click to shrink...

I think he's still living off the back of all the trance remixes, I think Levy used to love a speckled dove back in the day.

Okay, the whole MGW debacle sucks. BUT someone fucked up and I'm not sure it was Levy - more likely on the part of MGW and his agents.

We need to move on and look at alternatives:

• Kobbie Mainoo
• Angelo Stiller
• Harvey Elliott
• Xavi Simons

If Mainoo doesn't have a future at Man United, I wouldn't mind us going for him. I think Thomas Frank could get something real good out of him.

Click to shrink...

Mainoo reminds me of Rashford......talented yes, but a big sulk when things don't go his way. Inconsistent too

Also Mainoo has been demanding a 200k a week contract at Utd

For people blaming the club here, what did people want us to do to get this deal done out of interest?

Click to shrink...

Funny how you tubers like Nara y slater kept saying we’d get the deal done. Not sure what they based that on. Strange how MGW agreed 3 yr extension. I bet he leaves next summer some sort of agreement if money is right.

 

[Honest John]

But the lack of ambition being shown by Levy is unforgivable.

This, in a nutshell, is it.

If Levy / ENIC sold up, a huge dark cloud would finally be lifted from our football club.
The fans would come together and a whole new wave of optimism would wash over us.

It's been 25 years. It's too long.. They simply have to go.

 

[Get in!]

It's amazing the glee you see from some posters that the MGW transfer collapsed. We miss out on a player that would have made a huge difference for us and, instead of being gutted, they're happy because it gives them something to bash the owners with.

Pretty pathetic...

After the Luton game Spurstalkshow Sean Butler said that he had spoken to two people heavily connected to Spurs who told him that MGW was 100% done and will be joining Spurs

He was just passing on the info but it just shows noone has a clue what's really happening.

They are not happy missing out on MGW......of course it's a good excuse for some to blame the owners but I think the vast majority of fans wanted this transfer to go through.
