Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Agreed mate, i think we've a lot to decide, do we want a playmaking no 10, or an alethic hybrid one like Soucek, do we actually want wingers or inside forwards, Illy for example isnt a winger in my opinion hes an inside forward, so if yu have a tricky inside forward on the left what do yu want on the right, pace.....trickery, someone who can hold the ball up the pitch. Then how full backs compliment that is key, do you want your width to come full backs and allow your wide players to come inside, do you want one attacking and your second more defensive or do you want your full back to just defend.

The hypothesis has to be how do you get an additional 20+ goals into this team. That's our aim.

Its the blend and complimenting of all the possibilities above also depending on what you decide.

I guess its also if you bring new players in what happens to others, so if you play Illy, buy a right winger and a new 10 - what happens to McNeill and Charley, if you bring in a new left full what happens to Myko. Centre midfielder, what happens to Garner etc.

A lot of decision's to be made for me, but there needs to be a plan for how its all going to compliment, balance and form a squad.
Moyes has rarely gone for playmakers as number 10s. Usually someone who puts in a shift defensively as well as being a 2nd striker - ideally good in the air and can arrive in the box late. See Cahill, Fellaini, Soucek etc

Other than Soucek, the only one who vaguely fits this description I've seen us linked with at all is the young lad Woltemade at Stuttgart, but would imagine he'll be out of our price range
