Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[DaChunk]

I don't remember the last time I was this excited for a transfer window. Hope we smash it and come out with a strong first season at BMD.

Ben Doak - Player profile 25/26

Ben Doak, 19, from Scotland ➤ Liverpool FC, since 2023 ➤ Right Winger ➤ Market value: €14.00m ➤ * Nov 11, 2005 in Dalry, Scotland

www.transfermarkt.co.uk

This has Ben Doak’s contract ending June 30th this year. I’m assuming Liverpool have one of those options to extend an extra year which seems common these days? Even if that’s the case, 12 months left doesn’t leave them in a great bargaining position. Sure I saw a report somewhere that he won’t sign another deal either due to a lack of opportunities.

As difficult as dealing with them obviously is, think there’s a deal to be done there.

Thats his loan ending

I don’t think it’s that easy. We sold Gueye and only ever found an adequate replacement for him when… well, when we bought him back. There aren’t many players out there who does what he does to that standard. More tackles than anyone in the league by a mile at the age of 35.

Kind of...but there seems to be a number of midfielders this summer who could be his replacement in 12months time. Those we could sign and gradually introduce over the season.

I actually would probably hope we splash out on a record transfer for central midfield. Its been a long time since we had a superstar midfielder who can be the general.

Heard we're linked with Jason Knight. Not sure how he's been doing at Bristol City but I wanted us to take a chance on him when he was at Derby. Left there for fairly cheap as well.

I’m not up to speed with this fella, but how come he only started less than 50% of Boro games this season?

Injured since jan

He has been there stand out player.
Presses really well and puts a tackle in.
Only Watched him a couple of times but looked worth a gamble.
Think the fans would like him

Thats his contract/loan at Boro.

His contract at Liverpool has no expiry listed.

He signed a "long-term" deal in 2023, but the end date was never publicized. It's reasonable to assume 2026.

Not bad numbers in that case

It will be a long summer. We need like 10 new players.

Now I can't wait for next season. I am fine with no marquee signing and just volume business this summer.

Quality over volume.

We have to use the free market and loan market but when we spend any money I rather it be on quality

Oh please, our expensive players turn out crap anyways with our luck. I want brilliantly mediocre football players good for each specific role. I wouldnt mind a 11 ji-sung park.

Wonder what new signings will say in their press interviews etc. Remember when we had the Moshiri money it was all about the project and vision they were given by Brands. Wonder if our new owners have a project/vision they want pushed on players. Or will it just be "new stadium lad"
