Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[MikeH72]

I just don't accept there are no players out there right now who are available and would improve. I don't accept any of these excuses. Everyone knew the situation with our squad months ago and it seems that no planning or preparation were carried out.

It’s looking like absolutely no planning for this window took place until the end of May when Hammond and Kinnear were officially announced.

If brownhill is so good, why haven’t half the premier league teams been In for him? And some haven’t even bought a player yet or at the most 1. IE Fulham, palace, West Ham

 

[MikeH72]

Let’s hope not. We need to be signing starters in midfield. If he’s still available on deadline day and we need an extra body and he’s happy with 2 bob a week, then fine.

He would be a starter currently because James Garner appears to be a nailed on starter at this point.

More of a butt plug than a suppository

I'll never look at Adriana Chechik the same way

Couldn’t agree more. I know Thelwell left the club and we have a relatively new football operations team, but Moyes has been here since jan, we knew which players were out of contract, yet still no RW or RB. All the impetus of moving to a new stadium is being taken away with our recruitment or lack of.

The problem now is other teams know we are desperate so the prices go right up, like what a few have said on here £30 mil is the new £10 mil

Isn't that what people have been moaning about Everton for years though? We have a starter that isn't good enough so we should sign this player because they're better but still not good enough? Doesn't compute.

No, we’ve consistently bought players that are worse than our current starters or players we’ve sold. If we’d been bringing in players marginally better this whole time then we would’ve improved wouldn’t we? It actually computes perfectly.

Given the state of our squad, I expected there to be new players lined up ahead of the window opening. Instead we look more and more disorganised

This Yilmaz, they want 35m

The prices don’t reflect the constraints ffp have put 14 prem teams under

Weird isn't it. We couldn't buy any players for the last five years because we had no money to spend. Now we have money to spend and we still can't buy any players.

It's almost like we're a really badly run club, isn't it?

That's my worry, also a few of our squad are bang average players. We could be in the crap again if we do not sign anyone else this transfer window

 

[brieverton]

I can see this going right up to deadline day. There isn't anything at all at present to suggest something is in the pipeline let alone imminent. We'll get some patchwork of loans then and Kinnear will do another interview on Sept. 2 citing exceptionally difficult market conditions and they wouldn't do bad deals.

They have to find some way to address the problems they've faced, they will be facing the same ones every time.

I was on the side of patience last week as I trusted the club. All of moyes quotes the past week do not paint the picture of smooth sailing. I am OUT on TFG
