Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Infernus]

We have dirt on Villareal for sure.

We've seen the bung that they gave that baldy weapon in the Champions League

 

[gixerk6]

Also, we had Coleman (old, legs are about to fall off), Young (old), Patterson(Dare I say @davek had been right all along) and all this time we never got some young guys in on the cheap to see if we could strike gold, or at least bring in a decent option. Now we are picking our butts sniffing our fingers.

Ok Joachim Low

It's not why he signed though, is it?

Personally, I find it embarrassing the way the club have briefed all the new signings to mention the stadium. As others have said, in order of importance when signing for a new club:

1. Money
2. Trophies
3. European football
4. Minutes on the pitch

53. The box you play your footie in.

You still have 48 bullet points to fill out there so don't be lazy now

For me all this i want to play in Europe is a bit of a nonsense, there's only so many teams that are actually going to go far in the comps most are just also rans and you'll get max 3 or 4 games for the rest. Most players we've been after are not at the standard the top European teams are chasing so for the sake of a couple of european games players are ignoring decent moves. I know I'm probably biased but some players need a big dose of realism rather than the fantasy being pedalled by their agents.

Your mission should you choose to accept it......

Twitter link to Karl Etta Eyong, 21 year old Cameroon striker

Everton have contacted Villarreal over Karl Etta Eyong. The player wants to stay at Villarreal but if he is told that he won't play he wouldn't be opposed to moving to the Premier League

Doubt the rewards match the effort required

Agents are why so many deals are done late, they have no incentive to help clubs, or in a lot of cases their own players, it's just about maximising the cash and engineering moves that often comes when both teams involved start getting desperate. They'll tell their players to hold on unless it's a ridiculous offer as that's what suits them best.

The only exception is if it's clearly a huge upgrade for the player and they push for it.

We have completely blown this window, the upside we had and threw away.

Massive review required from TFG leadership post window.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Moyes playbook. Lower expectations.

We'll be inconsistent until December, players will bed. Go on a run from Jan. Finish 8th.

Spot on .
I think the only season we started well was the season we qualified for the CL. And that season we were rubbish in the second half !
Moyes only does half seasons

 

[orchard]

Maybe worth a 5mil punt and send out on loan...

I feel like the solution to Barry being too young and too raw probably isn't to sign his younger, rawer, understudy.

You can also buy 4 for the price of 1 Dibling, and if your scouting isn't awful you just need an ok hit rate for it to pay off. Everything is a gamble, but we're clearly not in a position to take players from champions league clubs outside of England. So what's the alternative?

So we get 4 Chermiti or Aznou types. Cosmic,
