Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

I get that.

Weeks ago you had people like Paddy Boyland and Mark Douglas bigging up the amount of work to be done as "unprecedented' (not at all, really). Talk like that creates it's own expectations.

It seems the US tour might be the next fork in the road. I hope we can get two more in then, thats £40m - £60m probably depending on where we get them from. My concern would be waiting on someone like Luiz and being strung along for the rest of the summer. It's a struggle to see how we pay his wages anyway.

I don't see any scenario where we don't need to do a lot of loan business at the end and that creates it's own risk. But we do need to add another couple in by the end of this month.
Yes I think there'll definitely still be some business to do after the season kicks off and that's both understandable and potentially beneficial.

I suppose where i'm coming from is there seems to be a bit of a 'these guys know what they're doing everything will be fine' attitude, and the reality is it's not actually based on anything and has been said about every other new manager/DoF/owner we've had over the past however long. We've had plenty of transfer windows over the past couple of years where people have spent all summer/January calling people bedwetters and saying everything will work out, only for it to end up every bit as bad as people had predicted. It's not a case of panicking and saying everything's a disaster, I just don't think we should lose sight of the fact that this unprecedented rebuild they keep talking about doesn't really look like one at the moment.
 


A lot to do in 7 days if you can apparently read Moyes' mind.
Apparently we were going to hit the ground running in July, this is one of the biggest summers in our history, we’d have all our ducks in a row and hit the market. If you were told at the end of the season by the time we go to America in the last week of July, we’d have signed a 22yr old striker, likely to start on the bench and a back up keeper, I doubt you or the majority of the fan base would be best pleased.

Well personally I don't really fret like the rest of you seem to do. I address a transfer window once it's closed not when we go play a few meaningless friendlies.

And when it is closed the narrative is that we can’t do nothing about it now so just get behind the team.

You are not stupid at all, you know this. It’s the same behaviour year after year.
