Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

This makes no sense. Moyes is not the person that signs players.

Not in terms of discussing contracts, but Moyes is not working at ANY club where he doesn't have the final say/input on players, he is an old school manager who wants a piece of everything and that's how they work.

i meant long term

last year we had the likes of harrison and lindstrom to come in for ndiaye, who werent good but are at least premier league players

at the moment it would be heath or clarke

I know they were premier league players because they played in the premier league, not sure they were premier league standard though. Possibly the worst 2 wingers in the premier league last season

1 year deal as 3rd choice is perfectly fine if that’s all it is. Get Chermiti loaned out somewhere he’ll actually play.

Be careful mate, I said I wouldn’t cry if this scenario happened yesterday, and I’m now in the witness protection scheme.

Because I always read your posts?

Ah, I've just realised whose multi you are.

Sure, like most managers. My point is about the business side of deals.

How many last minute signings have been flops? Fellaini was also a great last minute signing.

Lots

He'll spend most of the year getting some level of fitness back
If he was worth it he'd be staying at West Ham

not saying I'm a fan of this but can see the logic. Surely if he played today he must be relatively fit and if its a trial then even better, not fit doesnt get signed. Still don't want it to happen though....

The last example I can remember of us waiting to the last minute and getting a really great deal was when we got Lukaku. Is there a more recent example of a great last minute signing in late August?

I don't think so. That time of the window is really only for putting a cherry on an already nicely decorated cake.

It's fine to get a few loans in then, as players become available.

You have to have your main business done though.

There can be no worse sinking feeling than 7pm on deadline day, when you badly need reinforcements, and are going with what you've got.

You get more clueless by the post.

Would you be happy with Michail Antonio as 3rd choice striker if it mean’s Chermiti gets minutes on loan.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Lots

Such as? And how does that ratio compare to flops from earlier in the window?

Yep.

When should we give in?
This seems to be a moving goalpost for the apologists.

Most were saying not to panic as everything would be sorted by the time we fly off to the States. (Tomorrow)

My goal post was the end of the window, so I can't comment on that.

He was a loan, cost virtually nothing.
