Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[mmmmsnouts]

Journos and ITKs and grifters basically make up stories and do agents’ bidding all window long. Based on that, people decide the club are run by a bunch of idiots. Great system.

He's naturally a number ten isn't he? Maybe we have a different one in mind to play there

I admire your persistence with the McAtee shout! At what point do we consider putting a bid in!?

Which would be surprising if so. He's showing the sort of promise and underlying stats that made people want to snap up Wharton.

I agree. Think I posted on here before that when I saw him for 90 mins for the first time earlier last season it was the most impressed I'd been by a Championship player since Olise

2 weeks ago , get the back up right winger in first and then aim for the starter .

But what happens if you could end up with option 1 and option 3, but you have already bought option 6

Sigh

Sorry FIFTEEN MILLION has been accepted for Hayden Hackney? If we miss out on that because we're pissing around waiting for Luiz I will be writing a strongly worded letter

Agree 100%

Just on this Hackney lad - does it not strike anyone as a bit rich that he's off to a Championship club when there are those on here who were convinced he'd be off to a Prem side if it wasn't us? suggests he's not quite as good/ready as some have claimed, no?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I disagree City struggled without KDB at full fitness, look at what happened when he came on at Newcastle. 1 player can build a team, if they're world class, if you're like us you need a good system, like we had towards latter part of Moyes 1st spell.

They missed Rodri just as much, if not more.

You might well be right mate. Has great underlying numbers and certainly passed the eye test from my perspective, but then I'm not a professional football scout, so

Take option 6 and then go for option 1 , then when you don't get option 1 go for option 3 . At least we'd have a right winger .

Are we now concluding that it’s the agents and journalists fault that we have 17 senior players on the books going into August?

He’s probably better than Tim Iroegbunam.

He’s probably better than Tim Iroegbunam.

Yet Tim Ireogbunam has a far better chance of playing Premier League footy this season and, indeed, has already played Premier League footy full stop. Funny.

 

[Efcjake]

Everybody losing their heads over Hackney has definitely seen him play lots of footy and definitely aren't wetting their pants because they saw some numbers that looked good.

We have 21 first team players Mike.

You can't keep removing players you deem unworthy.

For the record, 21 players is still 5 too short.
