Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

You'd have to think saturday was the final nail in Patterson's coffin really. Being 3rd choice right back behind a centre half and a 40 year old isn't a great look. Some people like to pretend otherwise but the truth is no manager in his entire career has ever fully bought into him being their go to right back, and at some point you have to accept that there might just be a reason for that. Since he's been here he's found himself at different times behind Coleman, Kenny, Young, O'Brien and Godfrey. Possibly Holgate and Garner once or twice I'm not sure on that. Either way, not exactly the greatest list of right backs imaginable and yet he's not been deemed to be better than any of them, I just can't see him making it here now.

It hasn't worked out for him here and the best thing for everyone is that he moves on. It's weird that he's become such a lightning rod for so many on here, however, as loads of signings don't pan out, yet this is the one people seem most het up about.

It’s his own fault. All he had to do was give Dyche a slap back and he’d be immune from criticism.

Coleman broke his leg 8 years ago. We've been looking for a RB since. I think that has a lot to do with it.

I've said before, people get wat too worked up about him both ways. Some people seem to love to put the boot in but by the same token he gets an awful lot more people defending him than most people who've flopped as badly as he has would. It's genuinely quite strange that he seems to provoke such strong feelings either way.
 

….with a view to the window, very interesting insight from that press conference.

Seems like we’ll know before the last game the details of who’s leaving and who’s staying. ‘No major upheaval’ suggests he’s wanting to keep the basis of this team so I’d expect that to include deals for the regular first teamers who are out of contract. Whether they want to stay is clearly up to them.

if he’s able to renew a few, I can see maybe 3 or 4 new arrivals this summer with the aspiration of improving the starting X1. We’ll have a better idea what positions they might fill in the next 10 days.

A huge overhaul is what the club has needed for a number of years. Yes, it's tough to sign lots of good players but it's a great opportunity to bring in players who are better than the ones who are out of contract. If we don't use the opportunity to make big changes then we might not get another opportunity like this for a while.
