Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Sounds like we’re winding down recruitment efforts.

Interesting to hear what Moyes thinks in the Leeds press conference.

Says?

He hates us that clown of a fella

Sports journalists are regarded as bottom feeders by other journalists.
The Guardian is an establishment shill. A load of middle class women ‘writers’ moaning about the price of avocadoes in Sainsburys. The blokes are all rug munchers…

If I logged into this thread and had been in a coma all summer, I’d think we hadn’t signed anybody

I hope Moyes shows this to then pre leeds game! Pr1ck

Contrarian merchant, never been able to stand him. All those years and all that money on private school and elite universities and supposed "love of the game" and that's the level of football journalism you can put out. It is beggars belief, The Guardian is awful at hiring footy jounos.

 

[Bainesy come back]

The same Guardian panel that said Dyche was a reason we wouldn't go last season is saying Moyes is the reason we will finish 19th this. The others all echoed the shout except Rushden. They also said the stadium would be a disaster and that left winger from Burnley has been our only success story. Insight.

It is a sad state of affairs for a paper that at different times in my younger years had the legendary Brian Glanville, David Lacey and Patrick Barclay with the magnificent Hugh McIlvanney at then sister paper, The Observer. Once they had the very best coverage going. Now they have a bunch of clowns.

If that was true given that we have no right side and a paper thin squad then that would be suicide and a club that has resigned themselves to the drop. I very much doubt that is the case

Have you finally given up and accepted Patterson isn’t any good?

When hes being slated for having ok games at right back with an empty space ahead of him all game then its time for him to move on.

He certainly was fine under Lampard and fine otherwise since then despite having injuries that repeatedly paused his development.

Certainly an avalanche of reasons why he hasnt been favoured by a vocal minority.

 

[Blue peter]

ffs, you know DCL is bagging at the emirates GW2 for leeds then doing his mcl during the celebration

He’ll probably pull his DCL

That podcast died a sad death after James Richardson left. I listened to it during the 2006 World Cup and for as long as AC Jimbo was at the controls. He never took himself remotely seriously, but gave football - for all its ludicrousness - due respect. Rushden and Glendenning turning up at Talksport tells you all you need to know. Their hackneyed woke straightman meets WUM comedy foil shtick has long since tired itself out, especially now as it appears they come as a monetised package.

Glendenning can be funny - but he needs manners put on him at times and Rushden lacks Richardson's authority. Barry knew James wasn't just smarter than him - he was also funnier.

To be honest, I am harking back nearly 20 years when podcasting was naive, virgin territory. Once "journalists" cottoned on to its money-making possibilities, it was always a slippery slope to BT's The European Football Show featuring Richardson, Raphael Honigstein, and Julien Laurens, and subsequently The Gab and Jules Show (with Laurens) and The Athletic (with Honigstein). What started great gets monetised into the lowest common denominator.

They seemed to forget that most of them had very little to offer that you wouldn't get down the pub from your World Soccer-reading mate.

He's just a bitter clown every time we get mentioned, you would think he would get us more as a Sunderland fan...

 

[Blue peter]

….apparently Everton get % of the fee Wrexham are paying for Nathan Broadhead. Every little helps.

I’ll waive that if we can get Ryan Reynolds to stop ‘acting’

 

[Bally1989]

Great

Now that is tied up can we now target a Right Winger please.

It’s beyond pathetic we are going to play the most one footed man ever RW or a CM there on Monday.

He has been unlucky with injuries and yes at times should have got more game time. But in our position his lack of defensive awareness and progression in his game means he needs to go somewhere else and play week in week out..if he can.
