Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[toffee66]

The Telegraph claimed Southampton valued Dibling at £100m. The Guardian reckoned it would take at least £50m + add-ons/sell on to get Southampton to the table. That is in the ballpark of Kubo’s release clause that is “too expensive”. It is also a massive punt on the potential of a 19 year old that eg Chelsea or Spurs could take on but realistically it is hard to see how we could.

Oh thats a relief, so a team like Accrington Stanley is it?

Semi -pro I believe

Hopefully just a way of telling Sociedad we have other targets that we'll move onto if need be. Don't understand how any game-playing via the media like that actually helps, but all clubs and agents try and do it so who knows

If we start the season with no right side then these new recruitment people have failed. It's that simple. Why are we still being run like fat bill is in charge, pss take.

He was class this season on one of the worst prem teams ever. He had no support around him and still managed to shine. Judging him on g/a is silly and you know that.

I mean it's not silly. He's obviously talented but we need more than that. We need the real deal to come in and hit the ground running.

The quote is from the Joyce article everyone is discussing.

So much worse.

Hes quoting Joyce. But he's changed his tune from pretending to be ITK and expecting 2 more incomings in the next week

I know Joyce is more reliable than most but in general no one has had a clue this window what Everton are doing

Yeah he says we’ve hit buffers not that we’ve walked away maybe real are playing hard ball in same way we seem to be this summer

If our recruitment team can’t do their job and recruit footballers, then they should be sacked. Don’t care how long they’ve been here. If I consistently failed at my job I don’t think it would wash if I got dragged into a meeting with my boss and said “but it’s just too damn hard though ”

I mean sure but looking across the league, Newcastle are struggling to get even a keeper over the line, Fulham have only really kept a player and Silva’s admitted they haven’t even begun recruiting and Forest have only brought in two Brazilians on what’s probably a dodgy deal

I’m not good about how things are but I’m trying at the same time not to lose my head over things that we as fans can’t control

Other clubs have deals lined up before the window even opens. That's what I hoped to see this year given the amount of work we need, and the fact we have new owners. It is absolutely more of the same so far this year. No organised and successful club looks to do most of their transfer dealings in the second half of August.

Who's expecting this mate?
