Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

We have been horrific in pre-season struggling to blend all our old players

Let's hope something happens on Monday!

Correct. None. That was also about 17 yrs ago where the middle to lower teams in the PL weren't recruiting like they are now. I'm more focused on the fact that we will be starting the season with most likely Dwight McNeil on the wing due to our inability to treat our number 1 priority as if it is a number 1 priority.

We've been in negotiations to sign right wingers for virtually the entire window. Obviously if want us to settle for someone who isn't high on the list that's a different story.

No we haven't. We were better that Bournemouth until we changed half the team. We were better than Utd. And we were better than Roma until we changed half the team.

Is right Kev. Only half our team is horrific.

Is this real? It's the championship, Leicester dominated the previous season in the championship and were decimated in the premiership. Major gap in quality typically

burnly have form for walking the championship and getting smacked right back down as well

As far as I am aware since Fofana, for RW, we have been linked with:

Omari Hutchinson - Played in PL
Tyler Dibling - Played in PL
Ben Doak - Plays for a PL team

Is it that odd a perception to say that our RW hunt has been prioritising PL based/experienced players?

I hope Moyes is targeting quality, he may need to realise there's a limited amount of it at RW if he has narrowed the search to a domestic one.

Sunderland have three to four players who'd walk right into our starting 11, they've done some great business this season, the CB from Getafe looks a player, keeper looks solid, and they have pace throughout their attacking line up.

Hume, Xhaka and the lad on the right all start for us, Diarra would be close too.

Who is horrific? I'm not saying there's not average players as there's several but other than Michael keane who would be considered horrific? I love even in the years we have a crap squad we never get relegated it's almost like it's all relative

I’ve had a couple at the local brewery and am just messing about.

And if we win 3-0 Monday not having done ours early, where do we fit into things?

We would still need a good few players.

It would be great to win our first game for the first time in ages and it would help a lot, but it wouldn't change the fact we've not had a good pre season and still need to improve the team to have a good season.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I think they started ok from memory, and then fell away. If they don't start well, they're in big trouble.

Anyway to be fair people said the same things the last 2 seasons, but I said the same then, I'll state the 3 that came up go back down.

West Ham, Bournemouth, and Wolves will be close from initial observations but I'll take them to survive over the 3 promoted teams.

None of the promoted teams won until well into the season last year. I think I saw someone say it was October. They were all in trouble from early on.

Already certain journalists making excuses for our lack of a right winger, we are reaching the realms of oh there's nobody left oh they couldn't afford it oh its all too hard...Its like the seven stages of grief

 

[brittcop1]

I'd have taken Kyle Walker on a free when we had the chance.

Until I saw him play today...watched Ritchie's first goal...switched off after that

Frying pan, fire.
