Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Throwing away the August games again!

Add Suarez to this side and a good DM and when we get Branthwaite back we actually have a team that should be aiming as high as fifth.

Only standout teams are the noisy neighbours, arsenal and city - Chelsea without Palmer are relying on badly dodgy refs, spurs - look like typical spurs, Newcastle losing isaak is huge, villa are being wrecked by PSR constraints, united are a train wreck. Forest have strengthened but got a mess with their owners and manager - rumours Ange is the one lined up to replace him which could screw them over as he's a loon.

Nobody else so far looks to be looking that good.

Bournemouth still playing some good stuff under Iraola.

Hard to know if TFG will see our results and deem us suitably equipped this season, or, be brave and give us a bit more to try for europe

Throwing away the August games again!

….was told yesterday something along the lines of us winning more games this August than the previous 4 Augusts put together.

I was certain we were going to fully EverLOAN and max them spaces we have out.

Actually quite surprised, but I guess there is still time. Would love us to loan Rasmus from ManUre with a good value option and he comes and smashes it for us.

Hojlund is going to Napoli

Mick how do you think we should deal with the gloom merchants who spent all summer predicting ruin and trying to agitate other blues into being as miserable as them?

Should they be allowed to continue to post as though it didn’t happen?

So far they're correct, are they not?

Where's the right back or defensive midfielder needed?

 

[bluespirit]

I can't see not filling at least another loan spot.

 

[BlueStevie35]

What are the odds we could convince/afford that Sanchez right back from Sevilla now that his deal has broke down to Napoli?

It’s doable if Sevilla are still keen on Patto, use him as a makeweight

Honestly just double buy Agoume and Sanchez from Sevilla. Solve both our problems in one deal.

Vardy is here we go

For Cremonese

For Cremonese

Yes.

 

[Ian]

Indeed but you hopefully know what meant!

Yeah course mate.

I was being facetious for the sake of it. Don't know why I do that

 

[preposterousvelios]

Yeah I’m starting to think we’re done now to be honest. Really not acceptable to not address the right back and midfield situations.

Based off what?

Overall the transfer window has been decent but it cannot be seen as perfect without a true RB and DM. If we sell Chermiti add a third striker option to that need (unless Moyes thinks the young Irish kid can make another big leap quickly through u21s to seniors).

It is possible to acknowledge the positives whilst also seeing the gaps. This binary universe of either thinking something is rubbish or something is great with nothing in between is a bit infantile; jump for joy or throw a tantrum I prefer the nuanced space in between.
