Transfer: 2025 Winter Transfer Window - Rumors and Discussion

It's not ideal but we haven't had a striker that consistently bangs in goals for ages. We need someone who can score and do it now, if its the missing piece for getting some silverware I'd do it despite the inflated price.
Right it makes sense if you're thinking there's a window in the next couple years to snatch a title, which, looking around the league would seem to be a perfectly reasonable assumption.

I mean, it's not like we're talking "1st for Gaustad" territory here.

Exactly my thought process.

In an ideal world you sign Tel and he proves he can score in the now while also being a great bet for the future. It's just risky for a team that is in the best window of oppurtunity they have had in well over a decade now.
 
Xavi Simmons sold to RBL for 81M€.
Good deal for PSG IMO.

Danso from Lens to Juventus.

Also Villa interested in Marco Asensio.

Good deal for both. He's been a star for Leipzig, but I'm not sure he'll ever sell for (much) more than this.

Risky is sometimes just another word for Bold. Tel would be a great buy for Arsenal whether he was playing next to kai or platooning with him. But I rate Tel a lot & still think that Bayern f***ed up by spending so much on Kane instead of just empowering Tel the way they empowered Musiala.

Pavlovic coming out of nowhere looking like the second coming of Busquets, certainly eases the pain of not pouncing on Tchoumeni when Real was considering selling him to them.

...but that's a "why not both" thing; where Bayern would be a lot tougher with Tel + Tchoumeni + a better partner for Upamecano, than they are with Kane + Pahlinha + Kim.
 
Boniface is 2.5 years younger than Gyokeres, and 2.5 years older than Sesko. I thought it was a bigger gap, but that's still not nothing when these guys are already this good. Either way, looks like Leverkusen will hold onto Boniface now.

Haha, this is where I go “and?” Again, not sure why you’re mentioning Sesko at all. I also acknowledged the age difference in the post you quoted and while it’s not nothing it’s also not everything.

Not sure if this is a good thing for Bayer or not.

Wow. Good deal indeed. Also, doesn’t seem to be a RBLesque transfer at that fee.
