Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Yes. The club would have to be very sure that these players want to come here if this is the strategy.

I don’t see how they can be very sure of that. I think this is a terrible strategy that will end very badly personally.

So he’d agreed to join a championship club. Sorry but no way that was happening, his agent was offering him around

He was about to sign on loan with an option to buy if we were promoted (as part of the Watson deal), but we couldn’t get it over the line in Jan. But the player was happy with the deal etc. it was wages with Brighton that held it up,

the clubs were still in contact and it was agreed basically as soon as we were promoted. Or at least that’s how I understand it - maybe you know differently of course.

Personally, I get the idea that we might see on or two early next week. In the press conference, Moyes said “we will have to wait til we get back now for signings” with a bit of a look on his face as if to say that he knows something is happening.

Plus, he didn’t seem as concerned this time as he did a few days ago so maybe Kinnear has come home and wrapped up a couple that we can announce next week.

shows how mental this thread is when the most positive poster and the one telling others to chill is actually called mrgrumpy.

Fully expecting this coming 7 days to be when we bring in 3 or 4 players. Fingers crossed anyway.

We don't even know this is the strategy for sure, just that they're two names who are being continually linked that we know would only be loans and that being the case, would only be late in the window.

Can't pretend to have any sort of insight as to how they'd know for sure, I would assume they'd have to have spoken to the players who've very clearly given their word (which isn't worth much in a lot of cases), so your suspicion might end up being correct - that being the case there would need to be a contingency in place, otherwise I'd agree with the basket case label.

Maybe that information is for his only fans page?

That might be a different kind of website...

People have said this quite literally for the last 3 weeks running. We aren’t signing anyone next week.

An option to buy means nothing really , im sure the Sunderland deal was on table, but his agent wouldn’t be doing his job if he wasn’t trying to get him a better club , no disrespect and more money

Yes but you now have a Josh Brownhill thread.

What a time to be alive.

Moyes' presser today was a bit more encouraging. Seems confident that there's still quite a bit that'll get done before the window closes.

According to Mr Bobble Hats podcast pal Benj - we’ve got bids out for multiple players…..

2 weeks before the season starts...better than never I guess.

I think he’s been told to put in a brave face even though it’s absolute shambles behind the scenes.

How do you know this ?
