Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Duncan’s Pigeon Loft]

same s**t year in year out if they don’t invest in new players we will be in the championship next year where most of our team belong. The recruitment in this football club is atrocious Patterson, kean, mylenko, Gardner, alcaraz, beto, iroegbanam, Chermiti the list goes on how come other teams can bring in cheap players and they thrive yet we just get the bottom of the barrel that can’t even make it in championship.

The lack of height outside CB and CF joins lack of pace and lack of creativity on my ‘must fix’ list for the powers that be.

The lack of height outside the two positions where you need height?

One more back up centre half in then we'll go with what we've got.

And 2 more goalies
That will do us

We are still growing
We are eating our greens

Average height in the PL is just under 1.83 meters. Everton is 1.85m. James Garner is just about average or a hair under, and below him are just Myko, Ndiaye, Coleman, Alcaraz and Gana.

Can anyone please share anything positive?

We are going to get spanked in the US if we haven’t made any changes / recruitment but it’s never going to happen is it.

We aren’t

Pressing is abysmal. This team is drilled to retrieve the ball and counter, they did terribly today.

Pre season match against a team that possesses superior fitness since they started earlier , also this is the transfer thread

Need about 6 or 7 players still. Massive amount of work needed

Apart from all that though…

We hear this nonsense every single pre-season that it doesn’t matter, we then proceed to lose our opening 3 games while looking miles off the pace of our opponents. It’s a tiring cycle.

We just need fresh blood. The squad is a bit stale and we have also lost a lot of players over the summer. Need to inject some life into the side as well as much needed quality.

When Dwight got injured in preseason (a player many don't rate) and Branners (can't remember if it was preseason or the first game) we suffered massively to start the year. I would wager we are trying to avoid killing our season before it starts.
