Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Douglas Luiz as with Gallagher no brainer of a signing elevates this team, it can't be debated.

Can we afford him? In theory of course!

Will we buy him? no

a) He'll want CL
b) we need a lot of players in this window and any purchases at the older age are likely to be low fees or loans.

He's the kind of player we may attract and have the capacity to go after in the next couple of seasons if we start threatening the upper echelons of the league and have a more settled team which only needs tweaking.

TFG has no history of buying a business then flipping it for a quick profit. They buy, invest and stick around. Now maybe we will be the exception to prove that rule but it just isn’t their modus operandi. They aren’t a PE/VC type business they are an old fashioned multi industry conglomerate with a clear focus on entertainment, leisure and sport in their expansion outwards from the core Toyota dealerships that created the financial platform for growth.

Surely we will see 2-3 new faces in this week.

I imagine Barry will be announced pretty early this week tbh, just would’ve been incredibly crass to do it immediately after what happened on Thursday.

Douglas Luiz only turned 27 less than two months ago btw, he’d be fantastic addition and a bit of a statement signing imo.

It's irrelevant. During those two months his value has dropped by £40m.

If they wanted to flip us quick they wouldn't looking into the purchase of Nelson dock.

Read Brownhill rumours also on FB and am surprised he is out of contract at Burnley. Either Tete part 2 or he is on the move soon

West ham fans think Brownhill is signing for them, the rumours are he has bought a house in Essex.
More than likely bull, like we hear up here all the time.

Not on his Twitter feed no. It’s a podcast thing with him and Romano.

In that case it sounds like agents drumming up business through some high profile accounts tbh

Mihailo Ivanovic got a mention online, Millwall Striker ???

Watched him a few times.
Would definitely be in for him, young, skillful has a bit of everything you want out a young forward.
Saying that when I watched him later in the season he seemed to be not at the same level, suppose you expect that with young players.
But if the fee isn't to high well worth a gamble.

Moyes average age in buying players for everton is around 23 years old.

At West ham he average around 27 years old. Moyes shifted towards more seasoned players at West Ham.

At Everton was more based on long term planning where West ham was more now. I assume moyrs will go the West route this time as he getting older.

Hmm, I think it will be good mix, but Barry and Alcaraz show that there is also the intent to get young players into the squad. And I guess that's not the end of it. Moyes also stressed multiple times that it's important to bring the average age down.

Douglas Luiz would be a great addition too when the asking price is really under 25m. And 27 is not very old tho. Might even get a little more attention through his gf.

Why should we give a Scooby about what his value is BEFORE we buy him?

They’ve split up - cancel the transfer

Any player who scores a header when the ball is on the ground is an instant yes
