Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Heard a rumour Antonio has been training with us almost certainly a load of crap though

Is Antonio able to train yet ?

I'm loving how broken everyone seems to be already and it's not even August.

Michail Antonio has just been mentioned mate, the nuclear button is ready to be smashed.

Loan Chermiti out and have him as 3rd choice CF. If he looks like he has recovered from his injury, then I wouldn’t be crying about it.

Think he left West Ham due to wanting similar money to what he was on which was a good wedge. He's around 35 now too i think.

Agree that Chermiti needs a loan for sure though

 

[DuncansPigeons]

Well they had f.a. to do with any stadium build.

Apart from paying for it in loans including one to get it finished

We are not signing Kubo or McAtee. We haven't even been linked with Kubo.

Harrison and Fellows. That's our market.

Fred is still available when Luiz jibs us off for Notts Forest/West Ham.

Just [poor language removed] do one Everton!

Commence operation panic buys

It’s why we need more mobility in the deeper lying midfield positions. If Mcatee is at 10 flanked by Ndiaye and a right winger, we have the same issue we had at start of last season when McNeil was there and the midfield was being ran though.

Garner and Gueye aren’t strong enough as a two when Doucoure wasn’t dropping back. Both need upgrading ideally so they become the bench options

Yup it's why Luiz would be a very good addition. He'd push out Garner I'm guessing. Kubo incidentally is similar imo to Ndiaye, hard working and will get back etc but not the most physical.

Ideally we need two CMS and o e of those being a good physical presence (a Carsley type actually)

Yeah I mean nobody is giving him that!
I could believe he’s training with us though.

No our "Useless striker training with us that nobody wants to give a contract to" spot has already been taken by our former number 9

enter Armstrong

We all hope he'll be able to do it. He's looked decent on his loan spell at Derby but we shouldn't be betting the farm on a teenager with limited first team experience being the answer to our midfield problems. We put too much pressure on these young homegrown lads and then turn on them when they don't turn out to be as good as we hoped.

2 year deal max. Maybe with an option of a third if he loses the zimmer frame.

Like to see all three of him, Chermiti and Tim getting a loan out to a decent Dutch side to get them minutes in a different environment to the typical championship loan deal.

On the flap scale, 1-10, where are you?
