Men's transfer window summer 2025: all deals from Europe's top five leagues

[Grumpy Gaur]

transfer season already got interesting

seriously though, aymeric laporte back at athletic club after saudi adventure sounds like a upgrade for them

but what's up with all these big money transfers? £8.6m is just crazy

and why do we need so many svg flags? can't they just use images or something?

I'm totally convinced that the whole transfer deal thing is a huge waste of time and money for football clubs . I mean, think about it, players just get transferred around like they're pieces on a board game. It's all so... transactional . And what does it really achieve? Just a bunch of egos and bank accounts getting bigger .

And don't even get me started on the 'big deals' . Like, who really knows what they're worth? £8.6m just because some random guy thinks he's worth that much is totally arbitrary . And what about the impact on the player's actual skills and performance? Is that really what matters in football?

I'm all for a more laid-back approach to football, where teams just sort of... coexist . No more all-out transfers and drama . Just let the players play and enjoy the beautiful game .
