Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

For some on here, nobody’s good enough for the mighty Ev!

Living in cloud cuckoo land some people.

It’s not that he’s not good enough but ask yourself this and you @davek, if he was readily available, why was it only Sunderland was interested in him and not say half a dozen teams in this league or mid level teams in France, Spain or Italy?

I'm talking about the team last night. It was relegation standard in my opinion.

I'm sceptical on our overall recruitment so far but the injury to JB hurt us a lot.

Mate, you have been banging the relegation drum, non-stop, for 4 years. It has been one game ffs

Hed want a ridiculous wage.

I think at 38 he might have to be slightly realistic.

Apparently Celtic are interested and they don't pay big money.

Who knows...I wish we weren't talking about him to be honest

Spot on. If you said this at 9am yesterday you would have been mocked in this thread and called a bedwetter. Funny how that crew have gone so quiet now.

People were wetting the bed in May and now wetting the bed talking about relegation (AGAIN).

Brodge would be a tie to get him up there and Kasper is up there to, actually that seems more likely.

You are right mate, to many people didn't want The Duke to sign a new a contract.

Reap and sow and what not.

If the recruitment team can't replace Doucoure they shouldn't be at the club. With your mentality we would have been starting Tom Davies yesterday. Shall we extend Coleman's deal while we're at it?

 

[blueboy72]

Hahaha he did more than any of our players combined.

He was bang average

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Somebody said tossard could see him being used as a striker if did come

Didnt Trossard get quite a few minutes for Arsenal last season? Surprised if they let him go.

It's not about wetting the bed or relegation, it's about bloody time we started the season off in the correct manner, I mean 4 years without a win in August, bit of a pattern and damned annoying.

I'm not saying that we will be relegated. I am saying the 11 we fielded last night is a relegation standard side, and would lose most weeks in this league. It had no balance, no pace, no power, and not enough quality.

We need more signings and JB and Mykolenko back so we have a competitive and balanced side.

The fact the manager had to select that team should be an absolute embarassment for the recruitment team. It's clear, undeniable evidence of a poor summer's recruitment and a terrible pre-season. I refuse to accept these shambolic starts to every season. It's absolutely pathetic and shows we've learned nothing from previous years.

Lads, Doucoure had to go. He was a £120k pw sink on the squad. Let's not rewrite history here..

Yeh, he scored against us at Goodison

Can’t fix 20 years of mismanagement in 1 window

100% but yellow sheets in May is weird

He was also a terrible footballer, what does he offer a team with his 4 goals and 2 assists in 50 games paying behind the striker. A team that long term
Wants to kick on.
