Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[GrandOldTeam]

If we sign Fellow, we need some real pace at full back and left wing.

Geordies in for JB.

Hmmm, i wouldnt be surprised if this happened!

A bad move IMO but right now they are more attractive than than Utd
They have money to pay if they can get around PSR plus i would imagine they would offer big wages also.

I mean he is better than that but i wouldnt be surprised if this happens.

It's not the end of the world. I think if they can get 60ish for him its not regrettable business. The pool of center back prospects is far deeper than other positions. Jarrad is so sound for his age but he should likely go this window or next summer for us to extract top value. The hype correlated to his age could take a dip and i'm not sure how much him playing week out will appreciate that value. Of course we get good CB play waiting, but I do trust Pickford's command, Moyes defensive soundness and market options even if his exit would change the priority list for additions.

My worry is more rotation planning. Bare minimum we at least need two playable CB additions (even removed of a sale TBH). We enter the summer already thin at the position. Tark is a constant but at some point age regression is staring at us. If he starts to show cracks we can't act as if it's a surprise. O'Brien seems to have been some wise business, very nice to have him already in the fold. This is why i've advocated to add Ipswich's Cam Burgiss on the free. No matter what happens at CB I think he's wise depth and we could near triple his wages with an offer sheet almost half of what Harrison got this last season. He's been linked to a move to Girona I doubt he clears 40k weekly though in La Liga. Just to say we could likely beat such an offer effortlessly and offer a little breathing room while maneuvering in the market.

Regardless of what's decided Moyes would be wise to add the CB prior to a JB sale if that is indeed the plan, to avoid clubs conflating the business and having some leverage from his return price. Its marginal how much that plays into deals but worth noting.

As last summer would not be selling for less than 70m. Would rather keep him but there will be alot of interest if there is a deal there, surely worth around 70m.

Stopped reading after the first line ..

Doucs literally is the worst footballer in the league in terms of being able to actually kick a ball … which I believe is a huge requirement of being a professional footballer

Unfortunately, we don’t have money to sign 20 new players. We need a squad.

but we can surely get a better loan than lindstrom who’s been terrible also no
Way mangala will be fit and again he’s not good enough. Not sure why peoole
Think Moyes will go
Back in for the same loan players, when he had no say in them joining. He’s had to use them due to the squad and injuries

The signing itself seems strange. Just watched him again and he doesnt seem to have any pace or something to trouble premier league defenders.

Yet to be impressed.

Always appreciate the inside track from someone clearly in the know. Cheers.

I’m a little terrified for this summer, a big mess of contracts to sort or replace and judging by the financial losses of the last 2 seasons, not much room to fix it.

We will need to replace much of the exiting free agents with other clubs free agents and Moyes is not known for being quick and decisive in the window, he’s got to get it right but he can’t afford to leave it late.

Some will sign new deals wont be shocked see doucoure gana virgina coleman/young sign on. Will be money yo spend ofc not totally free just spend whatever but i am sure will have a better squad next season

…well I suppose that’s a plus.

Haven't we always been a stepping stone? Ball, Lineker, Rooney.

The key is to make sure it's beneficial to us as well so selling when there is a fair wedge left on the contract and not end up in a Trent situation. It's why this Branthwaite contract is making me a bit edgy. I think if he isn't tied up soon, we should be looking to move him on. Maybe we already are as well seem to be getting a lot of links to CBs.

Anyway, give me Delap, Rigg and Fellows with some frees and some loans and I'll be happy.

Ball certainly cannot be put in that categorie, he didn't want to go and Arsenal were certainly not a bigger club than Everton when he went there. I watched an interview with Lineker a while back and he too said that hee had no desire to leave after just one season, the club told him they had received a good offer from Barcelona and that he should talk to them. In Rooney's case you are probably correct.

Him and McNeil doing the bidness out wide at their own pace would be a sight

 

[Neiler]

Make it so Dan.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Matthias Kvistgaarden from Brondby *taps nose*

 

[blue to the bone]

Egan riley at Burnley starts almost every game for them . Can play centre half or right back. Came through the Man city academy and has yet to sign a new contract with them so is a free agent in the summer. Maybe worth a look

 

[COYBL25]

Nice touch from the fans and KDB that.

Let’s hope he doesn’t end up at the RS !
