Summer 2025 Transfer Thread / Rumours

[Dubai Blue]

5pm has passed and no offers for Omari whoop whoop !!

Don't celebrate yet. It doesn't mean that parties can't come in for him. It just means that nobody thought he is worth £35m.

But it does mean we can say get lost

Also there might have been a bid which we haven’t been told about yet.

I do still wonder if the club might do business if someone comes to the table with that sort of money, I’m not clear on our transfer budget - we do seem to have cash to spend - and I’d imagine we overspent last year - I know it’s amortised though.
Our wage bill will be massively higher than it was when we were last in the champ, I know we have parachute payments to help though but we must be fairly close to the max losses over a three year period.

If OH agent had a £35m release clause written into his contract, then id be amazed if Town would take less. We don't have to, hes on a 4 yr deal. And since no one triggered that release clause ( nothings been said by the club/ press) i can only assume no PL is willing to stump up £35m PLUS pay off his 4 yr contract. Pity Delaps agent didn't c*ck up the same way, lol

They wouldn’t have to pay up his contract - it doesn’t work like that in transfers.

Agree though it would seem he is alot less likely to leave now, UNLESS the club needs money to balance the books. He is the most valuable / saleable asset

[Bluemike]

Sell Davis instead

[ITFC2024]

Well if we do sell OH, it should only happen if we get at least 25mil. I really don’t think he’s valued that high, so yes it looks like he’ll stay.

How much would we take for Davis?

[shabba]

£25m would be breaking even by the time we pay any sell on clauses. Surely we’d want min 35m.

For Davis I’d want 15m plus, I think he’ll be a weapon again in the championship.

It’s actually nuts looking at the goal Involvements (goals and assists) from their last championship campaigns for some of the players, between 7 or 8 of them it’s about 120!

Weve now lost 3 very good players, ( Burgess, Axel & Morsy) this summer and not got a single penny for them. Is this good contract management by the club?

The only one of the three we could have got a small fee for would have been Sam as the other two were out of contract and not ours to sell. With Sam it’s not unusual to let a player with his service leave on free especially at his age, I guess it’s a thank you for his contribution to the club over the past 3 seasons in particular. I’m hopeful now we can hang onto Omari and that he commits himself to the club and doesn’t do anything silly like put in a transfer request or refuse to play. If he tried to force a sale we could easily find ourselves in a situation where we get little more than we paid for him. Hopefully this is a concern I don’t need worry about as he would have known the relegation risks when he signed his 4yr contract. Unless of course his agent convinced him his release clause would most definitely be triggered. I’m certainly not as confident as some that we’ve heard the last of this one. Hopefully he’ll give us one more season at least.
