Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Oooo I'll have a think about how I want to use it

The correct response there should've been a paragraph of horrifically offensive abuse and then claim the pass at the end

I've only watched for the last hour but so far they've only mentioned the business of 4 clubs.

I listened to talksport for 10 mins. Just constant arse kissing of the RS for building such a complete team and about the wonderful business (including breaking the British transfer record, not once, BUT TWICE) after spending over just £400m.

Imagine there was another little surprise along with the Rohl deal!

Like the time we all woke up to see that Fellaini had signed

Scotland, Spain probably Saudi and Turkey...

Get back on those flight trackers lads. It ain't over yet

That’s all hipster rubbish. The teams with the best attackers, midfielders and CBs win the leagues. Yes they also have good fullbacks, but they have good fullbacks because they are good teams, not the other way round. Everton had the best pair of fullbacks in the league for years but we still couldn’t get anywhere near Chelsea, Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal because they had players like Drogba, Keane, Rooney, Torres/Suarez/Gerrard and Fabregas/Van Persie. You know, players who actually make a difference in the most important part of the pitch. Anyway David Moyes, you know, a guy who actually does this for a living, seems to agree with me. It’s pretty patronising to assume that because I completely disagree with you that I mustn’t understand the point you are making.

Perhaps I also think it's patronising that you call it hipster rubbish despite the evidence to the contrary of your opinion. The teams and players you've mentioned aren't within the title winning teams of the last decade which is what I referred to.

Avoided the sly sports rs fapfest all day being in work, not giving it a minute viewing now.

Just glad we never signed Ross Barkley

Yeah, you gotta give them credit that they didn't sign a single bum this window - not one!

Is that the footballing equivalent of a girl saying she’d love to go out on a date with the guy she never has any intention of dating but she just needs some me time right now (and is then seen dating the rich chad with the Porsche the week later).

You have a bizarre fantasy life.

Get a move on Martyn. Posing for pictures when theres work to be done.

Hard to believe some of the negativity around our transfer window.

This is, without doubt, the best window we’ve had since the Carlo era — and arguably even smarter in terms of planning for the future. It feels like the start of a proper rebuild, built on potential and purpose.

Let’s not forget where we were less than a year ago — 777, Moshiri, financial chaos… we were on the brink. Too many seem to have short memories.

Now, we’re finally seeing structure, ambition, and a direction of travel that’s positive. Let’s not fall into the trap of acting like our more entitled neighbours. Instead, let’s back the plan and acknowledge the real progress being made.

This is a fresh chapter — and it’s looking a lot more promising than anything we’ve had in years. UTFT

Tom King has a very large bum. Does that count?

It really is the story of the underdog

I'm biding my time. There will come a time when Grealish doesn't get 2 assists and MotM and I'll need to go full Park End Da on him.

ok, maybe one then!

Our main priority this summer was sorting us out going forward, because we've looked painful trying to construct attacks for many years. That's not to say RB wasn't a priority.

Our priority next summer will be the defence you would assume.

Don't know about " assume" Could be " desperate " to sign full backs both sides in the January window. Don"t be surprised if we are looking for free agents even before then. Very poor handling / know how in transfer market for these positions with the amount of time we had.

There’s no evidence. Just assertion. Who were Liverpool’s key players last year? Arnold and Robertson Who have been City’s key players? Any football fan would say Haaland, Rodri and KDB. Who were the key players for PSG and Barca? Not the fullbacks. Nowhere near.
