Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

a right back is priority no1

i think everyone would be happy enough with our dealings if we got some quality in there.

anything else would be a bonus

Could see with coleman tonight why need a more natural rb. Have to bring in 3 for me rb cm and cf

I think with the profile of attackers we have behind the striker now, who want to come inside and link up instead of cross, we need a striker that can do that sort of thing as well. More a David Villa or Julian Alvarez type than anything else.

We aren’t getting Fofana.
He doesn’t want come to here.
He wasn’t being coy , it was a flat refusal.

But what about the voices in their heads …..

 

[MACCA75]

I do wonder if we had a strategy to bring in the sort of technical players that we have, as opposed to quicker, more physical types. Or if the problems we had signing players has just dictated it.

We have a fair few socks down, stand with the ball, possession heavy players, but that’s never really been Moyes’ game.

Options aren’t there on a free that’s for sure, just checked Transfermarkt and the available players are pants. It’d have to be a loan I’d imagine, can’t see that we would have funds for another perm signing unless we sacrifice other priority positions

An experienced striker would be nice, somebody who you can rely on.

and a Rb and CM

and we are flying babyyyy

 

[Brisan123]

You do know you can be creative without getting assists, right?

Stat bummers are honestly the greatest scourge on contemporary football commentariat

It amazes me that the lads compinimg the stats must never actually just watch the match
They would learn a lot more

I was on the fence about to loaning him but after that I'd be keeping him.

Moyes and the coaches see him in training everyday so will not be doubting his quality.

Just wondering if today's game was a test ro see how he would conduct himself over 90 minutes against lesser opposition..With extra time allowed on the ball, players who aren't quite ready notmallt end up in 2 minds and play the wrong ball or lose their concentration and get dispossessed too often.

Tonight I saw a young lad playing with complete confidence, was assured on the ball, got his assists and didn't look anything like an U21 player just making up the numbers before he is sent out on loan.

Decisions for Moysey to make for sure in the next few days

I think we need to sign a striker with a first touch.

 

[NewRadical]

We suddenly have a lot of players who can pick pass in the opposition box, I'm not used to that.

I hope we can get another striker in because Barry is still acclimatising to the league and Beto I'm not sure has the movement to make the most of that.

Aye maybe, and probs won’t spend any money there after Barry. I just want a striker that’s got a much cleaner touch.

 

[Brisan123]

Jimmy takes s fine throw in.

Did I read somewhere that Dibling does too?

If you read it on here I’d be very wary of believing it
Some right stat mad freaks on here
XO and Xa and Xg all over the shop
It’s like a blooming algebra class in here some days
Bring back the bad old days of Accounts and PSR experts I say

 

[VaguelyBrown]

I think we need to sign a striker with a first touch.

Barry has literally just demonstrated that among his best attributes is a quality first touch mate, surely? His 3 goal contributions in the last two games using said first touch would back this up.

If anything it’s an ability to make space in the box and clinical finishing that we are missing, at least for me

 

[Bob Latchford]

I’d be ok is Shamrock Rovers signed him. I’d be disappointed if Everton accepted a £5m payment from Celtic to take him

Yip, Idah is pony. Celtic realised early on they had wasted money bringing him in.

 

[Brisan123]

Staying at BM

This DM we all way to sign
Who does he replace in the side
Gana or KDH or will he be signed for cover / rotation
Gana was one of our top players last season
