Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Pretty much yeah. You pick up the phone, you call the club, you say how much for Douglas?. They say 25m, we say would you take 20m, they say yes/no. It’s only ever us who make a bloody meal out of every single transfer.

If only it were that simple.
Agreeing a transfer fee with the selling club is probably the easy bit of the transfer... not that there is anything easy about it.
Agree fee does this include performance related add ons, is there a sell on clause or indeed a buy back clause ?
How are the payments to be structured. Sometimes there are outstanding balances owed between clubs which has to be addressed in a revised payment schedule.

Then of course, the difficult bit, dealing with the player and his multiple representatives.

I think this is an issue with Moyes though. He is a good coach and a good manager, but he has a conservative streak running through him a mile wide. He has always had players in the team who got in the side more for their attitude, than their ability - Hibbert and Neville were two examples.

It's one of the things that will have prevented him getting a decent crack at a big club. Top managers would not play players who are completely bereft of ability on attitude alone. I know you can swing it back round and point out the level of club we are and have been for some time, so invariably won't have the most talented players. But you don’t break that cycle by continuing to employ terrible footballers, particularly when we have an unprecedented chance for a reset.

And we all know Moyes will play these lads a lot. Look at how often he selected Doucoure at the end of the season when, one winning goal (but not performance) aside, he absolutely stunk the gaff out. And Moyes offered him a new deal. Had we have kept him, he would have been playing most weeks, we know that.

Moyes is a good manager, but sometimes he does need saving from himself a little. I just hope this transfer committee is strong enough to minimise the chance of that.

I think he got a decent crack at Man Utd and they didn’t come any bigger than them back then
Managers who were much more lauded than Moyes and who had won multiple leagues in multiple countries all failed as miserably as Moyes did
He also won a European trophy at West Ham
I’d settle for that

Were on 43

were on 43m and likely 47m by the end of the day and we can’t be finished yet

Palace, Villa, Bournemouth, Forest and Wolves all doing similar (if not worse than us) so far in this transfer window!

I am now aware of the squads of these clubs but feel ours needs a lot more investment to ensure we have enough playing staff ready for the new season!
 

Richie on loan wouldnt be a bad thing. Can play striker or left side attack. Allows n'diaye to stay wide left or battle alcaraz for no.10.
Might mean getting kubo&fellows or Hutchison&fellows and we are sorted for attack.
