Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[windymiller]

Midfield is terrible. 2 centre midfielders. We need Left and right back, 2 wingers and a forward

We're deffo not getting all of that. Not that I disagree but there's no way. We absolutely must get a RB, a RW and a CM in the next two weeks, however.

I don't think the business we have done has been awful but two injuries to two nailed on starters in our back four in the week before our first match is making it look very poor.

A midfielder who doesn't like using his left foot pulled into left back, no natural right back on the pitch, a centre back who should have left the club 3 or 4 seasons ago, no left footed players whatsoever in our back 4 or midfield 2, a player who should be on loan in the Championship starting at centre midfield and no natural right winger.

I'm sure (or at least hope) we'll address our issues in the market eventually but feels like a decent chance for 3 points in the opening game has been chucked out the window and positions that should have been priority are being left until after the season's started.

We have done it the last 3 or 4 seasons basically surrendered any points in the first 3 or 4 weeks of the season

We have no right side.

No established goalscorer.

No back up left back that the manager trusts ( unless AA was injured - radio silence there ).

These are all been issues that been outstanding for months if not years.

Simply not good enough.

Not seen the term “bedwetter” tonight

 

[Tim's tourettes]

Sorry, did you see an organised team on the pitch tonight? A central midfielder at LB, a centre half at RB, a no. 10 at RW, Tim Iroegbunam as our deep lying playmaker. What is your definition of chaos?

It's not defined as screaming the sky is falling in, after the first game of the season, with injuries to contend with, players out of position, going away to a notoriously difficult ground, looking reasonably comfortable under sustained pressure and losing 1 0 due to a ridiculous penalty decision. But, hey, if you love drama then maybe it is 'utter chaos'.

 

[Chrismac]

We need Gana's replacement now, not next season. Have a bad feeling all the goodwill he has accrued over the years with us will be gone if we don't get another CM in to take the workload off him.

 

[DaChunk]

Not even slightly suprised by the dross served up this evening.

Recruitment currently dire. We're falling apart.

Interestingly Bobble's mate appears to be blaming Moyes for the committee being slow. Yet Moyes appears to be livid about a lack of players. An example of club and manager briefing against one another? Sounds like all is not well behind the scenes.

 

[BigBeto1]

Not a priority. So we got a gk so we could have 2 on the bench tonight

Absolutely is a priority. There is two elements to the full back role and both of ours can only do 1 part of it. It’s why we struggle so badly to keep the ball up the pitch

It'll be plastered all over this thread tomorrow. All of the simpletons who throw that word around will have rationalised tonight's performance and result by then and will have come up with a reason why everything is hunky dory and why everyone who thinks tonight went poorly is a "wet wipe"

 

[RinkyDinker]

Squeaky bum time for all clubs now as they begin to finalise their squads for the season. I feel we will begin to see a lot of loans begin to take shape across prem teams from here on in

Preach.

I know. I agree. That’s the joke

Moyes is just playing up to the cameras. He deffo has final say on transfers

Possibly, but also not uncommon for people to be unhappy about stuff without really realising that they’re part of the problem.
