Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[DanB90]

This threads nearly as long as last summer's one

We've signed 1 player + we're not even half way through July

I feel like there was a day here where there was about 15 pages of movement. Got excited thinking something was happening.

Just shitloads of nazi puns.

Just hoping that the links to Douglas Luiz and Kubo shows we are after some quality as the idea of Josh Brownhill and that ferret Harrison scares me

The harrison one does for me would be ok if it was mcatee, kubo/doak or whatever then harrison on a free as the backup. Still not really sold on it tho, brownhill the same if it was bought in with another so we could loan out tim and armstrong

It didn’t set up in the way you’re talking about though, which is surely the pertinent point? The idea of Moyes picking a midfield 3 in which 2 of the 3 are ostensibly attacking players seems very unlikely based on everything we know about him. Nobody thinks he wouldn’t play Alcaraz and Mcatee at all, just that he wouldn’t play them in the way you’re suggesting.

I just looked at our team v Fiorentina at home and we lined up with Arteta, Carsley, Osman and Pienaar in midfield and AJ and Yakubu up front.

We also lined up with Arteta, Cahill, Carsley, Osman and Piennar in midfield routinely throughout that season.

Really hoping we sign Jack Harrison, might have a chance at getting a season ticket then.

 

[Mitch Ward's Minder]

The only reason I even remember Olsen is that game against City when he saved two penalties

Wasn't that Stekelenberg the year before JP arrived

 

[MACCA75]

BTW Mcatee would play in either Alcaraz or McNeil's spot in the above 'W'

Yeo, that’s what I was getting at.

Yeah I’m not sure cherry picking a knockout European game that we were 2 0 down on aggregate in is quite the flex you might think there but no worries.

He had the game of his life that day.

Harrison was being quoted at 7m I think

Carsley and Phil Neville started the away leg together btw.

(Possibly why we got beat tbf!)

Yeah could always fill it with a loan player, think i could see more with brownhill just becuase i want tim and armstrong to get more experience

Think Lindstrom on another loan would be better than spending any money on a Harrison fee.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Yeah. I don’t subscribe to every attacking player needing to able to beat a player and supply a killer cross 90% of the time. Some games need to be more pragmatic and some points in games need us to shut up shop. I think Brownhill and Harrison whilst different both fill that mould as does Young (who I would not rule out coming back late on).

I general though we need a goal scorer !

Expect better than both if honest, dont think lindstrom is suited to play as a winger in the prem. be shocked if the wings was not one of the positions moyes will be pushing to bring in quality
