Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


Yeah, smacks of "competent professionals", that.
Don't get me wrong, there have been glaring issues with our recruitment team this summer and the pace of our transfer dealings. My view is that Thelwell should have been given an opportunity to continue in his role, with increased financial backing. All being said, I have a hunch that we will make a signing or two this week.
 

Yeah, the way we lacked any pace, intensity or aggression in that first half - we sure need a lot more than a hot and cold 19 year old kid stood out on the wing.
I would hope having players playing in their natural positions would help the whole team with their composure, but you're right we don't seem to have a player, despite perhaps Gana, who is really trying to drive a game and grab it by the scruff of the neck. It's why we need another CM, and I don't mean Josh Brownhill!
 
We once again get comely overrun by an average team because our players are so collectively slow we can barely get near them. We need the new arrivals to be able to cover ground quickly. Grealish Alcaraz and Dewsbury Hall haven’t done anything for improving the pace of the team. We’d have done better having Doucoure in there tonight and considering he’s a competed cart horse who can’t trap or control a ball that really is saying something
I don't think lack of pace caused our struggles. The entire balance of our team was off with players playing positions and roles that they just shouldn't be playing.

We were very easy to press and play against because our back 4 and midifield pairing was makeshift.

Square pegs in round holes. We couldn't hold onto the ball or build up any threatening attacks because of it.

Put Branthwaite and Mykolenko in and shift Garner into midfield in Tim's place and we'd have been a different side - not because we've added pace but because we'd have players playing where they're supposed to and doing the roles they're more suited to.
