Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Noisy noise annoys]

Need to avoid the PL experience nonesense. It often means very little beyond being a comfort blanket for defensive managers or managers who lack vision.

How many PL games has Michael Keane played? And, if he played for another side and we were linked with him for a middling fee in the summer, a load of fans would be saying it’s a sensible signing, despite the fact He's one of the worst CBs I have ever seen.

Moyes really needs stopping if that's the route he is going down. Signing Soucek because he is better than Doucoure is illogical. If he ends up in the 10, we are booting the ball up to a big man with no pace, a low to average presser, who can't play a tidy throughball, seldom scores from distance, but has a nice touch and occasionally gets on the end of crosses. He is 30 and will likely cost in excess of £20m. We need to be getting a real player there, not a player like this. In truth, it is the love of and insistence on these kinds of players that prevents certain kinds of managers making the move to/or being successful at bigger clubs.

Feels like we have been saying this for years

No PL experience was what Dyche used to keep O’Brien out the side.

As if he was playing a different sport in France

…I’d be fairly certain the Branthwaite/Tarkowski partnership kept O’Brien out of the side, beyond that I doubt Dyche even thought of playing a 6ft 4in man mountain at RB.

Keane started the season in the team.

Keane started the season in the team.

Because of injuries and I think we lost our first four games, not sure how many of them games Keane actually played.

Everton and Wolves will go toe-to-toe in pursuit of a cut-price deal for Auxerre defender Clement Akpa this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

David Moyes has cast his net wide when it comes to centre-back targets on Merseyside, with Michael Keane one of several-first team players set to leave Everton when his contract expires at season’s end.

That squad ain’t getting top 10 unless the striker and RW are world class players. Lindstrom is garbage, we cant have doucoure as number 10 again that would be criminal and we need 2 centre midfielders as garner and Tim aren’t good enough.

So with a few injuries we could have garner and Tim in midfield, lindstrom and McNeil wide and doucoure and Beto as number 10 and 9. That would be a disaster

We need a new number ten /number 8, a new right winger with pace and cutting edge and a striker.

Anyone still telling me how good Mykolenko is i retract what I said earlier, bang average is too kind.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

We need someone for great corners and crosses. We lack the quality ball.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Need a left back to replace Myko. Atrocious footballer

 

[Runub]

Lots of work to do in the Summer

 

[royvernon39]

For the 30th time this season: a good defense, an ok midfield, a crap attack.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Feels like a bigger and bigger summer as time goes by.

We need at least 4/5 forward players which are expensive. Keeping Ndiaye, Alcaraz and McNeil still means digging deep into our pockets for goal threat.

Broja, DCL, Chermiti, Beto, Lindstrom, Harrison … all to go

Would like to see Graham on the bench for the last few games

 

[ToffeeTim]

Only positions that matter this summer are in attack

I domt want to see our budget spent on anything other than goalscorers. The importance of goals has been ignored for far too long.
