Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Gutted Leeds are getting Bakwa. The lad is a serious, serious talent. Delighted with Dibling, but I wish there was a way we could get this lad too. Will be like Diarra at Sunderland, one we don't want to end up at a club that is worse than us.

dibling
younger
that be why?

Fun fact, West Ham never fired David Moyes and in each of his final seasons they finished 13th and 9th.

Help me build a narrative but confirming where they were when he left? Come on man.

….said it’s the first full pre-season he’s had for a while. He’s looking in fine form, terrific assist for Spurs’ 1st goal at City.

Yeah a summer without tournaments has clearly done him good. His body basically broke after those couple of season where he played the WC and Copa America, aswell as playing injured for us

 

[chicoazul]

They finished 9th in his last season at West Ham, and they didn't fire him they just didn't give him a new contract.

But this idea that Moyes was bad at West Ham is just plain not true. They got ideas above their station and wanted a "better" style of play so decided to get rid. We know how that's gone for them since and I bet they would take him back in heartbeat with the trajectory of their team at the moment.

Saw a stat last night that shows he's got the best win ratio of any manager at West Ham in the prem era. Damning with faint praise I know, but still.

He was bad at Sunderland though, granted.

Hmmm. Ok I’ll think of something else. Well argued.

Could we please take a punt on Owen Elding from Sligo Rovers

He couldn't be any worse than Beto

Beto scored 8 goals last year playing in the best league in the world.

Elding scored 10 in the League of Ireland.

Beto also had about 700 fewer minutes of football.

He could be a lot worst than Beto.

 

[Simon Buttle]

You can write Richy off any Xfer shortlists I think. Spurs would be stupid to get rid. He looks revitalised under Frank. He actually looks fit and probably had an arm round him.

Great to see, as long as he goes missing when we play them

Not so sure, I don't want him back especially but don't forget they were ready to flog him to Palace last week as part of the Eze deal.

 

[Hills Dickinson]

Varela is probably the least sexy signing of the bunch. His ball winning got a lot better last year though.

Cisse is a DM yeah. Earlier in the summer the word was we wanted a 6 and an 8 but it sounds like we've given up on an 8 now sadly

I think the 8 is KDH

How does your tedious posts pertain to the transfer thread? Enlighten me Chico

 

[hetion]

KDH is the 8 mate.

Yeah you may well be right actually. Easy to get a bit mixed up in the reporting when that position could be described as either an 8 or a 10 in our system.

Id hoped we were looking to upgrade Garner is all. The ball-player in the middle of the park is so crucial to a team and he's just not good enough for it.

Hopefully build a little bit of angst as entree for the main course of Everton losing int their first competitive game at Brammo Mogay tomorrow pal.

I'm pretty sure they want to bring a proper defensive mid in still, we did try for Rodriguez who went to Benfica earlier in the window

Ah didn't see that. I defo take him like. Not even for sentimentality reasons but I think he'd fit tactically what we're trying to do atm. It looks like we're gonna have 2/3 very tricky attacking players behind the striker. So we could do with someone physical that can hold it. Beto can do it. But he's hit and miss. Richy as the 9 would really suit us.

I think Moyes wants another striker. Be interesting if any names come up on the last week

I knew sin eaters were a thing in folklore but I was unaware of angst eaters , which you clearly partake in the practice and have a fertile hunting ground with this forum

Fatawu just scored, it was a peach

 

[Root66]

That Leicester winger just turned into arjen robben
