Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

If you think he is you either don't watch him play or know nothing about football.

A CDM sit in front of and protects the back 4 , breaking up play.

Gana actively hunts the ball and is a one man pressing machine.

Can he be a defensive midfielder but not a CDM?

Wouldn't mind a punt on Kobie Mainoo on loan.

People dismissing Conor Gallagher need to follow a different sport.

He’s EXACTLY what we need.

High energy, box to box, workhorse & possesses real quality.

I’d be over the moon if he came in on loan, followed up by a CF & a RB.

We’d be well set then.

I love him, he'd completely lift the tempo of this team.

Soucek might get some goals but just adds to one of achilles heels i.e. lack of pace in the team. We will be badly exposed on this on the bigger pitch at the new stadium, as Brighton showed even if they could not deliver any killer punches..

After a good window so
Far, soucek would
Be a massive red flag for Moyes, he looked about 50 Friday night chasing them Chelsea midfielders.
Would be a terrible buy

We need physicality in centre midfield. Gueye is good but bit too small, KDH puts himself about but is equally small and a touch lightweight.

We need someone in the Rodri or Sande Berge mould, just a big unit who can also pass it about

Would also love Kobbie and Gallagher, just not sure they are the profile per se

 

[Root66]

We still have 3 loan slots as well dont we?

5

If the reports about Patterson to Spain are to be believed, then I would have thought a new RB is incoming?

We were after Juanlu from there weren’t we? Could be the deal. Also Juanlu plays anywhere on the right so could be used as a right winger too

Has to be.... Can't believe we are going with JOB all season only! Unless we now have our RB/LB cover in Garner!

This would be perfect! Again great profile and player there

Hope so mate

Baleba who Brighton turned down over 70m for from United? Yeah not likely is it

As for being a standout - thought he got completely shut out all game forcing Brighton to hit it into the channels rather than build through him like they typically do.

He went off at half time

Yes. Ive watched him a few times for Athletico, best player on pitch.

 

[HKContractDave]

Wouldn't mind a punt on Kobie Mainoo on loan.

Just realised he hasn't signed a new deal there so still on sub-£30k a week. Yeah worth a punt at that

Pls. Don’t go for soucek. Too old.

Must be better out there.

You can’t play ndiyee, grealish and dibbling without someone with experience covering the gaps they are leaving.

To be fair the defensive work of Ndaiye and Grealish was really good, get what you mean though
