Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Dwight K Schrute]

Yes, we have done it badly but, it’s basically the same squad that was top five under Moyes games and with the addition of grealish, dews, Barry and whoever else we add

A good team doesn’t become crap overnight - we messed up last night ironically due to injuries in positions we are less concerned about than others.

We will have a much better squad than last year you’d imagine and it was a squad that we were all praising

I think you need to factor in other squads improving. Utd, Spurs, Palace, Brighton and Forest I expect to push on again. I think Villa and Newcastle might dip a bit but still finish above us. Fulham migjt drop off a tad, and I expect Brentford to plummet. I think Sunderland and Leeds will be harder to play against - even if they come up short. And it’s 2025 - we cannot have a team full of players playing out of position. Doesn't work that way.

That’s your page algorithm, surely?!

That your algorithm that...god knows what you're searching throughout the day

“Accept all cookies” always comes back to bite you.

Does anyone think we’ll actually get anyone through the door before Brighton

No, and if they somehow did, they wont start.

Some pathetic stuff in here and the TFG thread today. Last night was really poor but to be calling for the head of the manager and owner/board...

People had naive, unrealistic ideas about this summer and how it was going to go. The ineptitude of the previous regime left us in a position of needing to sign 10 players in one window. 100% we could have filled out the squad with mediocre players by now and had a full squad available for the opening game of the season. All that would be doing though would be restarting the previous cycle.

The hold up is coming down to us having a standard of player we want to bring in, and sticking to that. It's frustrating, we look woefully underprepared for the season which has now already begun. But get real, we are not an easy sell atm and despite what some people seemingly think we are defo still limited by PSR in what we are able to spend. What we've been told is that we are taking the necessary time to land the targets we actually want, that are actually good enough to improve us. If we manage that, even if we have a poor start to the season, in the end looking at the bigger picture it will be worth it.

Moyes bottled it last night, but he has credit in the bank. TFG and the recruitment team - it's their first window, they have very openly asked to be judged on deadline day. Personally I'm not happy about it, but given that's what they have said that's what I'm going to do. If you're crying and throwing your toy's out the pram after the first game of the season I'm sorry to say that you're being an idiot. If deadline day comes and we still don't have the players in then by all means throw a tantrum then. Until then though could people just relax with the doom-mongering. We're 1 game into the season and its already exhausting to read this forum.

Fighting talk. Prepare the archers

Hopefully we pull a new transfer from leftfield which shocks us all.

If Moyes gets sacked this season it will be entirely down to the failings of the recruitment team and ownership.

Not necessarily Tim.

Undoubtedly last night was mostly down to lack of recruitment.

However if he gets the players that we need by the end of the window and we are still crap in November / December that's down to the manager.

When I read this I can’t help but thinking this is exactly what Bungles new friend would say

 

[NikNak8]

The thing that disturbs me isn't the tactics, the lack of signings, the result, or the penalty controversy, it's mostly this advert that appears on this page

Targeted marketing/advertising, I've never seen that advert

Whilst I'm sympathetic to the problems Moyes has with a very unbalanced squad, he made some bewildering decisions last night. The formation and team selection was baffling and he waited far too long, as usual, to make his substitutions.

Two things can be true at the same time, recruitment has been awful AND Moyes got it all wrong last night.

We shouldn't frame this as Moyes or TFG. Everyone needs to get their shizz together, and quickly.

 

[Bebeto]

I guess another day of frantic transfer activity from Everton? Not that there is a dealine or anything...maybe we have cut down on overtime...

“Relax, everything will be fine, there’s still 2 weeks of the window left” is more exhausting to read than anything else to be honest with you.

They’ve asked to be judged at the end of the window and they sure as hell will be. To which we’ll be met with a response of “the market is just too difficult for little old us ” and the ostrich’s will go on to lap that up as well like they do with every other party line that they get fed from the bluffers in charge.

It’s embarrassing to see what has become of this fanbase. Absolutely no standards or accountability whatsoever. Stuck in a crap malaise where everything is alright and ticking along nicely as long as we don’t get relegated.

The players we have should be fit, played in their proper position, and trying to win every game.

It was nil for three last night. That’s on Moyes. Ndiaye looked like it was his first day back at preseason. Iroegbunam had no clue what he was doing. Alcaraz and Garner were out of position. Grealish is fit to play but not fit to start? Subs were made too late.

A complete mess.
