Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[bluestevon]

He splits our fanbase that’s for sure. He has definitely improved his game, he went off the boil last season when he had to adjust his game to our new style of play, but then he started to look a level above once he found his feet. His passing is very good, he gets in great positions to block off the passing lanes and made some vital interceptions to close down counter attacks. He has one obvious flaw to his game and that is he gets dispossessed far too much in dangerous positions. If he does that in the premier league, he’ll cost his side goals. We haven’t been able to work it out of him, I just feel like Moyes could do something with him. Moyes isn’t scared about taking on championship players and improving them, he’s done it enough in his management career.

Brothers family are all mad st holders mate so he's seen him a lot - was in the stadium for his debut. His opinion basically agrees with yours on him.

Good luck next season btw, hope you smash the horse punchers at your ground.

Miles must be like 6th choice. Won’t have him. A waste of money and time.

Looks like needs must now at RB..

After Patterson's showing against Bmouth,I think Moyes has told Hammond to at least get a stop gap RB in.

Maitland Niles is all sorts of average. I just don't see what he would give us that we don't already have.

Absolutely gorgeous looking man though

Rate the lad but seems a high price for him, hopefully get for something like the barry deal that ends up at the price they want.

Buy McAtee loan Grealish deal maybe?

 

[Lanolin]

I guess, and I'm playing devil's advocate here, he can cover a lot of positions. He's played RB, RW, the right side of midfield and central midfield but he'd be a rather uninspiring signing.

Yeah if it means we can let Patterson and iroegbunam go and replace them with one player it makes sense to some extent. You would hope it would be purely for that type of reason though, if players like him are what we’re bringing in to actually play then our unprecedented rebuild looks very much like a botched job.

Cover in three positions and probably starting at RB at home

I just don’t think he’s good enough to be a starter if we have any intention of actually improving. He’s not actually better than the right backs we’ve been playing recently in all honesty, and he’s absolutely nothing like a Phil Neville type.

43 appearances with 8 goals contributions isn't bad to be fair.

Would grealish be the end of the interest in mcatee if we got him on loan

Nope.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Niles absolutely sucked at Arsenal. I am not a fan whatsoever from what I have seen. But if he comes as part of the package with Fofana to kind of get it over the line, I guess you take it. We need the depth, he can cover several positions and he is technically prime age. Maybe he has gotten better during his time in France. Not a fan of the stopgaps and filler, but at this point we need bodies.

 

[RichCee123]

Whats this mate?

We are buying a left back. We aren’t going back to the days of stock piling positions

 

[mikel_88]

Buy McAtee loan Grealish deal maybe?

Yeah is more the positions is intresting what would happen in other deals. Would love if could get all 3 mcatee grealish and fofana but is prob a hell of alot of work left to do

 

[Blue Alert]

Can we get Marmoush on an ‘Executive Loan Deal’?

 

[Eggs]

Grealish is coming back from a lads holiday in Magaluf

….lets hope he’s not coming back to join us

 

[RichCee123]

Maitland Niles is all sorts of average. I just don't see what he would give us that we don't already have.

who else can play 4-5 positions?

 

[hetion]

Surprised Maitland Niles is causing a stink among some. Perfectly solid right back, Moyes has specifically said he wants a couple of players over 25 with prem experience and that feels like a safe way to tick that box. Not the sexiest signing but I'm happy for the sexiness to be more on the wing and in midfield (if it is)

28 years old who is not very good. The club has to find a way to sign better players.
