Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Baggzio]

O'Brien was probably always planned as the starting right back. Outside of Tete at the start we've really not looked for one at all, and all the links seemed to be central defenders. Bit of noise when Patterson was set to go but get the impression it wasn't really an area we were ever properly looking at.

Good window and the squad is miles better when fully fit, but as we seen already in just a few games, we're really down to barebones at the back, with arguably questions around every "first choice" too, either with their fitness or quality. Not ideal, but I think it's been better than we expected, with the exception of a RB.

It's all fine too that we are going to still not have any overlapping fullbacks on both flanks for like the 3rd season in a row. Mykolenko doesn't do well with it and we're counting on CBs to be our RB.

Saturday was interesting in that Mykolenko had clearly been told to tuck inside to create space for Grealish out wide. It may well be that overlapping full backs aren't in the tactical plan this season

Patterson and Aznou overlap

One isn't going to play and the other I don't think has even been on the bench.

 

[Davideeyore]

So play 2 players out of position instead of round peg/round hole? Genius logic there.

just a heads up, that genius wasn't to you, was to the people in the club that think that it's all fine to be doing that.

Classic Moyes

Dog’s just pulled its hammy.

Frantically trying to get a new one in on loan!

which leg? right back?

 

[John O'Kane]

Maybe the real right back was the friends we made along the way

LFC TV… er I mean SSN… now saying it’s the best TDD ever!

Such a LFC thing to say.

I switched SSN on just now, I lasted 2 minutes before it cheesed me right off. Tedious journalism and needless dramatics......

He’s not quite PL ready

He is. He’s played well.

 

[MACCA75]

We do need Patterson to stay though. I’m not a fan of him, but people talk like he’s been absolutely catastrophically bad every time he’s played, but he really hasn’t.

Elton with his finger on the pulse!

Does Seamus Coleman have a veto over us signing right-backs?

I'm at a loss to understand how Moyes hasn't got this position sorted.

Wouldn’t take Dominic King’s word as gospel on this, he’s a horse racing correspondent these days…

….was in the pub when he was shouting at the telly and delighted when a horse fell at the last leaving his to win. I actually told him that’s not what a proper racing fan does, nobody wants to see horses falling.

He is one of those noisy types that shouts at the telly. Big unit, his Dad was a lovely man.

I sort of wish you were referring to the Blues, Elton.

You don’t need a decent RB when you’re walloping 3 goals in against teams every week.
