Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Apparently this is the league spend for the past 2 years. Surely these rumours of low funds can’t be right, we should have a considerable amount to spend.

Get spending it ffs.

Agree with you so much. People keep posting in here that project players are not what we need, we need players that can contribute here and now. Eh? Contribute here and now, for what? Maybe an 8th place finish if we do unbelievably well? And then what? Project players are EXACTLY what we need, because we're not competing for anything right now. We want to compete for things in 2-3 years. Almost like it's a...project.

I expected us to be having a rebuild by going for the next generation of stars.

Fofana i was surprised we were after as i felt he was out of reach (and so far is). Dibling is one i named a few times as being ideal.

Its beyond me that we couldnt have signed Dibling 1st of July and instead waited until now to save a few mil, rather than have him integrated over preseason.

The KDH signing is just beyond me. If the money is really there then why have we not gone for a more talented younger player who can become levels above him?

4 or 5 key u23 aged players could have revitalised the team.

At the moment, i dont believe we are stronger in any area of the 11 aside from adding Grealish.

Moyes mentioned at the press conference today, that we have the funds it's the obtaining our targets that's been the issue

 

[Zatara]

We could do worse.

Apparently weve already approached them for Cash.

They want £20mil for a 28 year old whose value will drop like a stone next season.

A proper Moyes signing.

We want another striker, because we feel Barry is still too young/raw to make an impact, so we turn our sights to a player who is a year younger than him.

Sounds plausible. Think this one will happen!

I don’t think it been that long since he came up from Villareal’s B team. Deffo plausible!

Sure...triple their wages, and you see how quickly they come, European football or not. Fofana is meant to be in around 20k euros per week...offer him 100k pounds per week and he will be here in no time. Moyes and the recruitment team appears to be living in an alternate reality...

Moyes today said we definitely have money to spend just struggling to get it spent.

Out of interest, how many 28 year olds did Moyes sign for £20mil?

Have we mate?

If my memory is right weren’t we after him before Villa.

 

[MisterJ]

Another day of nothing then?

 

[Bebeto]

Jamie V incoming!

100%...moyes already said in the presser today that he need numbers through the door, so might have to revise down the calibre of players we have been aiming for...

Hes been linked years back im sure.

Cash was mentioned recently perhaps even on here if you search.

£20mil on a short term signing.

 

[Curtis]

Only if you count grown men crying into the void, as nothing? Which if so, nothing would be correct

 

[Bebeto]

We could do worse.

He would be a good solid signing for us in a much needed position...

I actually like the KDH signing, especially in the context of Barry, Aznou, and hopefully Dibling. Fine to have one or two like that at the right price.

But what's the point if Moyes isn't going to play them?

What's hilarious is if the top brass had been firm with Moyes from the start, and properly executed a strategy of building an exciting young core for the future, we could potentially be poaching Glasner sometime soon. As it is he won't look at us twice.
