Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[davek]

Jakey and McNeil will start the season for us on the right. I've made peace with that. Top class starters will have options and hold all the cards. We'll have to wait for an answer or move on to secondary targets. Don't think we're in secondary time just yet, couple more weeks.

There's no excuse for starting the season with a RB who's adapted to that position in the last few months.

I expect a new RB and I think most others do too.

We cant be setting a bar as low as that for the new owners.

Head in the sand?? I am not the one making up 'facts' about stuff I have no idea.

But clearly trying to pretend there isn’t a problem here…

So in your head you are making things up but I guess that because it’s in the sand

Shambles - and it's down to the new owners and their decisions.

I actually think the issue is a lack of decisions being made rather than bad decisions.

Things have been allowed to drift.

We are now playing catch up which could lead to irrational decisions.

We did fine last season with O'Brien at right back, its not ideal but it's not going to be a catastrophe. Next season will be a consolidation season anyway so it's better being patient with getting the right player in than make the same mistakes of the past and bloating our squad with overpaid rubbish that can't be sold on and bleed the clubs finances until their contracts run out

I am just being rational - we are all frustrated but making up nonsense every twenty minutes is not helping

I saw him buying a pizza so could be something afoot

It had pineapple on it so he won’t be allowed in Italy.

Could be.

Buying a Championship player for £20m is a big risk. English players are so overpriced.

It's not a risk. It's market rate.
