Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread



We have always been hard to please. Maybe rightfully so but sometimes we are wrong.

I remember seeing us lose 2-0 at the old Filbert Street in autumn 1983 age 17 taking a break from A-level preparation. Our less than massive away following in a pathetic 10k or so crowd gave dogs abuse to a team including Southall Bailey Ratcliffe Sheedy Steven Heath Sharp and Harper, Richardson, King and Higgins.

Walking out of the ground the talk was of firing the manager, relegation and selling the young players who were “nowhere near good enough” as my cousin loudly told everyone. It wasn’t outrageous because we were truly awful that day. We were still tripe about three months later when Kevin Brock hit that perfect pass. Just over half a year after that Leicester debacle we saw them lift the FA Cup.

I always keep all of this in mind when I see fans on here writing off transfer targets and saying we should sell current ones. We love our club and to varying degrees we understand the game but none of us know as much as Moyes and his staff or the other recruitment and analytics professionals. A little humility goes a long way. A little patience goes even further. It is way too early to panic about our squad.
It’s talking sense like that that send the bed wetting box room virgins into a frenzy
