Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

I think they would. It’s best having three strikers but don’t think Moyes would mind if he just had the two.

I think Ndiaye would be emergency Striker in that instance.

It's telling that even without a top class striker we've scored 7 in the last 3 games, largely due to the quality behind.

However, I can't see the point of selling a relatively low wage, relatively young player for a loss, unless we plan to bring 'something' else in...

Got to be some players at Chelsea looking for game time

Yep. Liam Delap. He chose poorly.

Striker most important for me. But yes, I saw a stat earlier that said we’ve received 3.4m in transfers and spent 109m on transfers. That’s a great start from the owners.

We have two strikers we paid 25-30m each on, we do not have a single right back or defensive midfielder at the club worth calling it.

Went off injured with a hammy injury today.

He's injured.....but also started the last two games for them.

I agree, but long term (as in the next 35 games) a good striker will win us more games than a RB or CM will save us. Not only for the goals, but the ability to take the pressure off the defence by holding on to the ball.

The kind of thing you'd say after a win tbf

Lot of people reading between the lines, but there are also lines in between the lines that are between the lines.

He says we're trying to get a couple more but if we don't we'll be fine with that. Basically staying the obvious 101

ye mate agree

I would take a RB and Striker and Keep Armstrong

Couple of exciting days coming up.

Would be great to get some others in but it already looked really nice to see a bench with Alcaraz, Dibling, Barry, McNeil and a hot prospect like Harrison Armstrong. We have options! Not too shabby.

i think we will get some

and an actual surprise

we NEED a tough take no sheet

CM

We won't have long to wait to see what happens.

It doesn't appear to be a lack of finance if we don't do anything, Moyes would have said it.

He said only yesterday we still needed players. Boyland said earlier in the week that there was cash but not of the sort spent on Dibling. If they want to do a couple of loans then it's open to them.

I wonder if we'll get a late loan for Dovbyk?

We got 8m for maupay this summer but either way, nice to be in credit this year

Hard to find decent quality in the loan market to walk into a starting spot which is what we are after.


This squad isn't the desperate for bodies one we had under Dyche.

Little bit of sympathy for Dyche, he was hampered by the p&s gubbins that landed on us, so his job (which was already a nightmare) was made more difficult, and the pressure just ramped up from there. We survived with him and survived him. Fair play.
