Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

What nonsense. Signed Fellaini for big money for Everton. Likewise Signed Paqueta and Scamacca for West Ham

I was talking about Everton in the past rather than the huge amounts he wasted at West Ham....youre right on Fellaini of course.

Any others from his last stint?

Yes agree completely Zat, but he can move for supposedly £18 due to some sort of clause. A bargain that would transform are attacking threat. If people think Illy is good ( and I do ) this kid is off the scale, a generational talent.

Yeah i read it was £25mil but may be in euros or something else.

These clauses typically state the full fee needs to be paid by the buying club. Hopefully were now in a position to do that for these types.

He's highly rated..wonder are we interested. Any psr deal we could pull off here !

Probably either go to Chelsea who just sign everyone, or skint Jim Ratcliffe s emporium of overpriced tat.

They’re all cousins… but like being from St. Helens but with no escape.

That’s a bit unfair on Iceland that

Last time i was in Iceland was told if you are convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence you have to wait months or sometimes years to serve your sentence as there are only a few hundred places, so you've got to wait until your number comes up.

Puts pinching Chicken Goujons into perspective!

Looks a decent prospect. But there's an air of the Rodwell's about him IMO. Big unit for his age, settles in to the prem...but could peak early.

They'd also want £40mill or so IMO. We've got Timmy getting back to fitness as well

There seems to be quite a few midfield & wide options that look available on the market this summer...not many centre forwards.

Mika Biereth linked on teamtalk.

Former Arsenal youth player, scored goals everywhere he was sent on loan. Moved to Sturm Graz and recently to Monaco...goals galore at both.

Mentioned him a month or so ago, would be a great signing as he looks made for the physicality of the Premier League

I love Lamine Camara & they have the 2 brazilian full backs, Vanderson & Henrique.

As you say, the size of Biereth and the shoot on sight approach makes it seem odd he never had a chance at Arsenal.

He's a bit raw so you can see why Arsenal might not of fancied him. He's half English too so would count as a homegrown player

Found this on google, will give it a read later

Him being half English doesnt matter.

All that matters is that he was at an English club for 3 years before he turned 21.

Which he was.

Some views on Rigg.

Who does Rigg remind you of?

In terms of footballers and their style of play? My son said Foden, but I disagree, I think he's like Brian Robson. Box to box tough tackling...

I wouldnt be looking at him as a first 11 signing & I'd be seeing a £25mil deal, (which you put as your upper fee) as a potential bargain.

I think Moyes can get the squad top 10 next season. Then what will be needed the following season are the Xfactor players to take the team up a notch.

Those are the hardest players to sign due to the cost and also the competition from other clubs -- if we take chances on players like Rigg then Moyes can mould them.

Alex Ferguson was buying from positions of strength of course but i think he'd be throwing the kitchen sink at Rigg.
