Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[DualityNSNO]

Fair, but that still leaves us, Newcastle, Brentford, Palace, Villa, Bournemouth, Wolves, Wham, Fulham and Forest all struggling to do the business we want to do.

Personally I think its a bit of a nonsense to suggest that we're the only team struggling to get deals over the line and having to adapt to the market / leave it late

They're not struggling, they've got better and fuller teams already that need fewer additions and have all done business on a player or two.

We need a full team here and are still up to "we've replaced the subs currently".

It`s like a night out. You start off sober with high standards, by three 3am, you`re in the kebab shop, trying it on with a 53 yr old single mum with three kids, from Dovecot, called Donna.

Kebab shop and Donna, there's a pun there somewhere

Pivoting from left wing 20 year old Fofana to right wing 19 year old dibling to 29 year old left wing grealish on loan. What are we doing here

We’re after more than one winger?

We lost 2 when the season ended.

Don’t know why people can’t wrap their heads around this.

I am not too bothered if we sign KDH. We can sign some players leisurely. Surely we need to exercise some of our grey matter. We need 4 players more as cover for our thin squad.

None of those teams needed 10 players. I don’t care what those teams have done.

And you buy her a Kebab , she tells you you look like Jack Grealish, then a bloke in a Sheepskin called Tyler turns up ffs…

Surely at some point you`re going to need some sleep ???

How long can you keep this up for ?

Unless you`ve got members of your family doing shifts, with strict instructions to post non stop stuff, slagging the club and the recruitment team, whilst your asleep

Disagree, most have lost a key player already this window.

We’ve not really lost anyone we haven’t replaced with better.

Yes we’ve lost players and need to add but what we haven’t lost is quality. If KDH is done, then we are stronger than last year.

We just need to get loans in (to replace Harrison, lindstrom, mangala and Broja). That’ll happen late though as loans tend to be toward the end of the window.

Hey! Leave my mum out of this!

Think we’ll be very active in the loan market in the next few weeks to pad out the squad, whether these will be of the required standard remains to be seen.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

We've always been in for Grealish in addition to our RW target. This hasn't changed anything other than maybe making us try and force the issue a couple of weeks earlier with City as regards making sure we have some numbers for the first few games.

Just makes good column inches if it looks like we've been knocked back for one of England's top young talents and pivot to an experienced star.

Not saying we'll get Dibling. Just saying that we're not suddenly going to try and get Grealish because of it.

Mike needs his own thread.

I’d stupidly convinced myself we were going to turn into a proper football club as soon as Moshiri was gone. This window has sent me west.

I'm hoping our team marinating in theirvcranial juices get them flowing. Couple of good deals to be had. We need cover in nearly every area barring CB.
