Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Is Gana Gueye talking to West Ham?

 

[BITTER TWISTED & BLUE]

Too early to judge as the recruitment team have literally just got through the door. I'm not going to judge them on one incomplete transfer window as I have a bit of patience

Have the new people staffing the transfer team ever done this job before?
If they have surely they must be familiar with lots of suitable (to our team and budget) players who might be available.
If they are inexperienced (which I’ve read on here they aren’t) why does it look so efn hard to get the job done?
Serious questions so sensible answers please.

Our one or the young one?

Theyve moved a lot more than 1 on.

Fair I'm sure you're right, you think they've made enough from sales to be able to spend this much though?

About what . Pie and mash ?

That is what he said. He used him as the example of how we are struggling to meet contract demands of even a free agent like Brownhill.

I’ve listened to it twice. 100% he never said it. He said the club will be looking at budgets and wages and maybe we could get someone on a free who wants 120k a week and we probably wouldn’t do that right now as it may effect what else we can do later on. It was nothing to do with brownhill

Plenty of theories. Maybe too many cooks in the kitchen? Maybe Moyes has a different vision of who to bring in and he's not on the same page with the recruitment team? Maybe the new recruitment team are being cautious after years of mismanagement at the club? Maybe the players at the top of our shortlist aren't available or the clubs are making it difficult to do a deal so we're testing their resolve? Take your pick

Not even a sniff of a link today?

Same starting line up for Sunday

Oh I know. But the fact of the matter is we are here. We’re now very much into “get some squad fillers in or we will be in a relegation battle” territory in this window. A disgrace that we’ve ended up here, and heads should roll for it.

I think that's a fair bit of the anger really mate, and unfortunately it gets directed at the likes of Brownhill when it's not really his fault.

Unfortunately though, at this stage of the window, unless you have serious money (which evidently we don't) you are now largely taking caste offs of different types.

We have money, but we ain’t spending 4.5mil of it on brownhill

Ah... Thanks

Apparently Moyes is after right-back Kellen Fisher, from Norwich. 21 years old now, played/f doe England U20s. Apparently Forest interested too but then they're after everyone.

His name was linked a week ago, no prem experience, so that’s in the bin

No. Read my later posts. We are so close to our budget limit that the club are worried about being able to even offer free transfers of the calibre of Brownhill contracts, if we stump up the money for Dibling.

Which, would make you think the club should walk away. However, bu the sounds of what else was said, the ONLY options left to us if we do at this late stage are Trincão and Fellows. We've basically left it almost too late by the sounds of it.

If it was me, I would just sign Dibling and then scramble round to fill what we can as thebwindow draws to a close, but it sounds like the three stooges on our current committee would rather dither.

Fellows of course could have been signed by Thelwell for £8mil in Jan. Moyes rejected that.

So it may be Dibling OR Trincao.

Clearly has to be Dibling. Get it done.

 

[kiss the crest]

why do we have 3 goalkeepers and No right backs?

it's about time we started acting like a proper club, because at the moment teams like Forest Palace Brighton now Bournemouth have all over taken us and we are playing catch up to teams like this
