Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Wingers drifting in is the so-called new thing (although Moyes did that 20 years ago). That's how Pep sets up his team now. Fullbacks are supposed to provide width. There's also a concept called roaming fullback which is basically a fullback who can pop up anywhere, like middle of opponents penalty box. Doesn't have to hold position.

Idea of wingers drifting inside are manifold, mainly it is to create overloads and passing lanes near opponents box and also allow playing two forwards.

“On loan”

I’ll be surprised if another £100 mill doesnt change hands mate, might be a big loan in there like Grealish to bring that down, but in and around.

£100M more? It's not even 10am. Put the glass down.

I think so, I can see another three/four at about £25 - 35 mill each give or take, that go straight into the starting 11. Or else an expensive loan for Grealish.

It’s not will we, we have to really.

Haha classic Myers

In that case, I suppose having him around Grealish may allow him to pick up some tricks Grealish has learnt because they sound like very similar players. We just need to bring a bit of pace into the team too

From the clips I have seen, admittedly not much he reminds me of N'diaye.

As vague as ever.

The guy is now a pundit for Kenya sport or somat. That tells you his standing in the game.

Still living off his previous employment as media officer at Everton years ago.

Surprisingly the 3 promoted teams seems to get players done easily.

However the teams we are competing of getting players now like Wolves, Palace, Fulham also struggle.

The biggest difference is that almost none of these teams needs up to 10 signings over the summer.

The promoted team are shopping in different pools to us (possibly except for Sunderland signing Diarra)

They also have less of a strong base to build from, staying up guarantee's them £140m and going down they can recoup that by selling on for a profit.

The more secured PL teams, can afford to be more tentative and careful with there finances as there wage bill is usually a lot more
