Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Definitely brings some fire power!

Think we missed that bus

But we're also intent on doing that with Dibling if we can get that over the line. You need the balance. If anything Grealish is a perfect guy to help develop Dibling.

So you'd be happy to pay the reported £20 million for one season of Jack Grealish?

What’s the best long running joke ?
1. The gana photo
2. The dele loan gag
3. Jack Harrison signing again
4. Buying players to loan to Roma

Will always be the dele one for me.

Has to be the Gana photo as its the only positive one....

utter pish from Fabrizio on his Italian podcast. More unless saying if they didn't get Lookman, they COULD look at other targets like Ndiaye.

Which in turn has caused a load of people to declare we have offered him to inter.

Nonsense, all move along

The Echo are reporting it.

Looks like a perfect storm of clickbait nonsense.

The Dele loan gag for me as it was still occasionally posted for real.

sorry I think I put a bad link in. TOFEENUT said Dion a couple weeks ago. Did he mean Dion Lopy? https://sportwitness.co.uk/belief-p...-everton-tough-stance-thought-to-be-wobbling/

There is only horse!

Although some of the stuff around el presidente and the shot to his heart runs it close.

Seeing as there's genuine reported and rebuffed interest in players, are we giving the club and Moyes a bit of slack seeing as there's been a lot of moaning re transfers?

 

[NikNak8]

Could literally say this about any player but there’s no world in which a 40 year old Ashley Young would be on Bayern Munich’s books and whilst Barry went for 30 million no one will even take DCL on a free. I doubt anyone would have even paid 30 mill for him this peak.

Mangala was a slow midfield plodder who was the definition of neat and tidy but nothing more. If KDH can run at even an average pace he’ll be more useful than Mangala was.

People are forgetting how poor some of these former players were. Injury prone, slow, inconsistent, really poor output. These new players would almost have to contribute virtually nothing to be worse than some of those they’ve replaced.

Exactly and if told Pickford will be out for 10 games, given the choice, which keeper would you choose?

I’m still hopeful we are in for Douglas Luiz. I think he transforms our midfield.

 

[mikel_88]

All of those apart from Alcaraz are debatable. Begovic was a good back up keeper, no one knows how Barry or Aznou will get on and Mangala was looking good before his injury. Not seen anything to suggest KDH will be an improvement.

Kdh is the doucoure replacement is not the mangala type, can play in a two but is better in a 3 or more advanced role. I thought mangala was a tidy player helped us keep hold of the ball and used it well. But cant really compare the two as kdh looks to give the ball and look to go forward and attack. I think the lad will shock a few people, i think will be a great signing for us

 

[barneygumble]

Ive heard Angus Kinnear went on here and saw we were unhappy and opted to sign

Dewsbury-Hall
Douglas Luiz
Lopy
Grealish
James Justin
Dibling

All in one day.

Still have to moan about Bud though

In the words of Princess Elsa

Let it go.

Yep it's that Dion.

He's already had his medical with the nutmeister but has been sat on Fred the weatherman's raft in Albert Dock waiting for the nod.

A modern day Peter Odemwingie.

The Roma one's not new to be honest, and the Harrison one happened once already, so I'd say tie between Gana and Dele.
