Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[John from Bootle]

Yeah. No idea if it's true in all cases. Just the ones I know of with our players (usually with Barcelona).

I didn't see where you conceded it as a valid point but if I missed that you have my sincere apologies sir.

No need to apologise mate, it's just a forum and I don't expect anybody to make sure they've read everything I've said before commenting on something.

For the record, thks is what I said:

Maybe so. The point remains though. Barca decided to take Gerry back just to move him on. An injury crisis, the hint of interest from other clubs, or even filling the homegrown quota could easily see a last 'second' decision made to come in and take the player back.

We go with what we've got

 

[Bedfordblue]

Reckon we’ll end up re-signing DCL, Doucs and Young in Jan, bit like when Stubbs and Rhino went elsewhere for a short spell.

Bit like getting the band back together.

Depressing.

We’re talking to villareal by all accounts, that was the news that came out at the end of last week. Maybe we’re trying to agree a few, not all transfers work the same. Brentford want 60mil for their striker, Utd have bid 45 and 55

July 1 tomorrow and it's fair to say that the summer window is going...less than swimmingly.

Coleman IN, DCL OUT, Keane IN, Tete's UP...

 

[Clarky cat]

There were always going to have to be compromises mate.

Keane staying is great news.

Yeah, for Michael and his family!

Haha. Was gonna post the exact same!

 

[Wat Tyler]

Not many clubs have more than 2 first team strikers...even city only have haaland and marmoush

If we have Beto and Barry, it only takes for one to get an injury for the other to be playing every single game regardless of form. Also, it is horrible to be needing a new outlet during a game and you look at our bench and see three right backs and no striker.

Also an injury or suspension to one negates us ever trying to play two up front in a game from the start or even when chasing a game. CBA with Keane up front.

Three strikers offers flexibility, and frankly, our defence the last few years has been ok, it’s our complete lack of goal threat the main thing we need to address.

When was it announced that Keane was staying?

If true, he’s like one of those big stubborn turds that just won’t flush.
Why oh why would Everton keep him… he’s useless!

 

[bullybeef]

At the moment, this window is not really panning out as we’d all hoped.

Fellow's is rapid

He absolutely isn’t.
I get the young English player appeal, but people are going to be so underwhelmed if we sign him. I’d like him to McNeil without the ability to strike a ball

Not looking good is it

It'd be nice, but i can't see it...we need so many players in other positions before having 3 strikers...maybe a winger who can also play upfront

If we can only afford to sign one forward then we shouldn't send Chermiti out on loan.

Your mattress?
