Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Simon Buttle]

If youre picking a team and you have Illy on the left, would you pick McNeill or Fellows mate?

That's your problem there though, he shouldn't be on the left imo, he should be down the middle behind the striker, running at the CB then we have 2 threats in the same area. He just doesn't create enough to be starting out wide for me. I think we need to strengthen both wide positions and I want players who can mix it up a bit. Just pinging crosses into a target man is too easy to play against and it won't be long before we get found out.

All the credit for Kubo goes to Al, he dropped it yesterday out of no where.

Really sticking it to his critics, since he's gone rouge.

Thanks Al.

Is Al a red now?

Was literally just about to post earlier asking about our interest in him. Presumed with Barry we wouldn’t be wanting anymore.

Bobble latest blog transfer has been sent to me …

Luiz on a loan to buy is of interest but no bids
Kubo we’re waiting for Sociedad to come back from Japan
McAtee - met Moyes earlier this week but no bid planned and no indication if he’s keen / sounds like he’s visiting a few clubs in PL & Germany.

and that’s it

Sounds like hes just reading that article the independent put out two days ago tbh

It’s not going to end well…. Feel
Sorry for any blues travelling. Don’t deserve this

Genuinely think people are getting way too doom mongery about the US trip, considering we have a decent record under Moyes over there

To be fair, anyway from here going US for the tour are going for a holiday no matter how well we’ll play. They’ll all have a blast.

Could see us wanting another striker who could play out wide aswell so chermitti could go out.

Whenever I’ve seen him out wide I’ve not been a fan. However, he is good playing off a striker.

I agree mate. I don’t think McNeill should a be starter, he’s a player we should look to build upon.

Centrally I think he was great for- generously a handful of games last season, before teams cottoned on. Out wide I don’t think he has the athleticism to start every game or finish it.

I actually thought he was great coming on for the last 20 mins of games at the back end of the season last year, he really impacted games, fresh legs with good technique running at tired ones. Thats his role for me, impact sub or utility in advanced positions, cover on the left for Illy, 10 at pinch can do a job out right or covering fir full backs - advanced impact sub or utility.

I guess my point though is I don’t think Fellows offers more than Dwight, in terms of what he brings to the squad. I know he’s a right sided player.

For the right side it should be Kubo or Doak, Fellows comes in as cover really - but does he offer something Dwight doesn’t for 12 mill - not in my opinion.

I think we’d do a cut price deal for Harrison before Fellows as Moyes would want him in that hybrid support full back role and I’d suggest we could do a cut price deal with Leeds, rather then go North of 10 mill on Fellows - that would be my thinking,

Ok sure. Let’s wait and see…. If this is the squad we are going out with and fully expect it to be, this is not going to end well.

Just my opinion of course…

Thought there’d be more links for KDH this window then there has been up until this point……
