Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Bebeto]

We are relying on ndiaye to be on his game to get a result here...no real options other than perhaps grealish...if ndiaye has an off game, which thankfully hasn't happened to often, then we may struggle to change things around with our current bench. Let's hope we dont have that unexpected injured player tonight...

This side is a clear favourite tonight? I can see everyone has their relegation battle heads on again this year.

Gnonto, Stach and their two CBs are legit.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

They are though, why deny it?

Boss! nice one for proving my point

In no universe does Leeds at 13/10 to our 11/5 make them 'clear favourites' tonight. It's close, at the very least..

They have a few good players. Clear favourites? Please.

 

[bluestevon]

Pretty sure we can't afford that

Nor is there any evidence Fofana is interested in Everton

We can afford it on PSR, if we can't afford it it's entirely down to TFG setting a restricted budget.

Losing out on another signing.

At least its not to Forest this time.

Alvarez isn’t a signing / he’s a liability.

We still have spaces to improve in our squad - but Leeds are one of the weakest teams we'll face.
It's always been a tough place for us though.
We need to go for the win. 2-1 blues. Hopefully Jack can do what Wayne did.

1.3/1 vs 2.2/1 does in fact indicate a clear favourite.

Our starting XI, provided no more injuries, are still more than capable of coming away with 4-6 points from these games.

Beto's problem is that he's not a reliable finisher, but now he ought to be provided with more chances. Barry, nobody knows anything about him, but he'll get through on goal if he plays.

Pickford, Tarkowski, O'Brien, Garner and Gueye ought to make it difficult for any non-elite side to swat us aside.

Ndiaye is good enough to play 'out of position', on the right, coincidentally a position he destroyed England in recently.

I'm going for first two games, 6 points and top of the league.

Agree with most of that, but I'm not sure finishing is Beto's issue mate. He's a good finisher. Fairly certain his conversion rate stacks up favourably against good strikers. It's the other aspects of his game he needs to work on.

When predicting the opening fixture earlier this summer, I went for a newly promoted team away and a 2-2 draw.

2/3 right so far.

Some of these absolute no mark clubs, paying a premium for top clubs potential talent and also allowing buy back clauses.

Bournemouth with Doak, Forest with McAtee.

Recall we did it once with Deulofeu an it got on my wick then.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

Just putting it out there....

Moyes could make a great right back out of Jack Harrison.

Logging off for a while due to expected incoming fire!!!

The only right back Harrison could be is right back in the changing room.

Yerry Mina and Garner i think had one too mate

I know Keane's in defence but I don't see us concerning 13 goals . I also think us scoring 10 is optimistic
