Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Blue Roo]

We lack quality in full-back areas but we're not light.

Mykolenko
Aznou
O'Brien
Patterson
Coleman

Garner at RB as well

I don't tend to trust Romano anyway mate.

Find it odd that having flat out rejected 25m in July, they now suddenly are accepting 20.

He's also been pushing a lot of stuff about us and forest with Douglas Luiz this summer too.

I also thought they had put the asking price up to well over 30m last month unless I misread something.

Nah KDH isn't a Doucoure upgrade - he's a CM, Doucoure was A) a donkey, but also B) played behind the striker.

Bit too simplistic. We have a small squad need more.

 

[NortheastBlue68]

Garner at RB as well

This is a massively underrated shout. Didn't he win several MoM awards fir the England u21s at right back. If we're temporarily well stocked in CM, this might be worth a look.

This also doesn't account for the fact I think we've changed formation to a 4-3-2-1, with our 'wide players' allowed to sit more centrally and drift wide at will - essentially we have 2x no.10s who transition into LW/RW with KDH shifting from an 8 to a 10 on the attack.

This is how we're going to get the best out of both NDiaye and Grealish - give them both the freedom to roam as a 10/LW/RW hybrid and how you get the best out of KDHs work rate as a box to box then a 10 on the break

Given they were three loans im pretty chill about that. We’ll deffo fully utilise the loan market, especially in a World Cup year.

 

[Kurt.]

We need to sign Ben Mee too.

“To Mee, To Dju”

Better than the chuckle brothers we currently have playing fullback

 

[Miked1e]

I think for this window then 3 more (after Grealish) would be classed as a good window albeit later than what I would have wanted.

2 of these to be starting 11 material.

KDH played behind the striker on Saturday mate.

It would depend a lot on Moyes set up, think Garners more effective in a back 5 which seems unlikely.
But he is a decent backup if we get stung w injuries.
The things is whatever money is available is better spent on RF and DM, get through another season and afford to get a better RB.
The last thing needed is spending money on fillers than quality.
