Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Hoyteinga]

If we don’t have a top first choice RW option as a minimum by the Leeds game then the recruitment team are going to have a lot to answer for. We really should have a right back as well and another defensive midfielder.

that said I agree we should have had at least some of these positions sorted for first game

A week tomorrow we have to register our first squad of the Premier League season. We do not have a right winger at the football club.

We've had an 18m bid for McGinn rejected?

Dafuq, he's 30 already, 31 in October, and on a downwards trajectory. Would be an awful signing at anything above even 10m imo.

John McGinn transfer news: Aston Villa captain not for sale as £18m Everton bid rejected amid Newcastle interest

Aston Villa have rejected an £18m bid from Everton for captain John McGinn; Toffees boss David Moyes views McGinn as a priority target in the window and is keen to add his leadership to the squad; Newcastle are also interested in the Scotland international

No. The fake bid story is meant to either trigger a bid from Newcastle or force Villa to extend his contract.

Or a decent right back.

We need to be more patient, we’re not signing players for the Leeds game, we’re signing them for the next 3-5 years - if they all come in on deadline day that’s fine by me.

Dibling would be quality, the more I’ve read I’d happily go to 50M - could be an England regular for the next ten years.

Once we get a RW in, a Strikers where I’m most concerned, Beto isn’t the answer and I suspect Barry is a couple of years away given his age and raid rise. I’d be interested if we could get DCL back

Step up Dwight McNeil..

It’s not about the Leeds game, it’s about the next three years - we need to be patient, if we get all the players in on Transfer Deadline day I’d be fine with that.

Dibling is the one, £50M might look like a steal in a couple of years and I can see him being an England international for the next ten years.

Once we’ve sorted right wing, CF is where I’m most concerned, Beto can’t be the answer and Barry will likely need a couple of years given his age, rapid ascent, and toughness of the PL. maybe a phone call back to DCL see if we can change his mind?

An ominous bell rings. 16 year old Justin Clarke steps out of the shadows like the Undertaker.

The obvious answer for the Leeds game should just be to put Ndiaye on the right and McNeil on the left win with Alcaraz in the middle.

For some reason though i bet we see Alcaraz on the right and KDH at 10.

Step up Dwight McNeil..

Nothing like a rectangular peg in a triangle hole

Enough sentiment

Enough sentiment

I’d have him on loan if we got desperate. That’s not sentiment, he would be our best, and only, right winger and wouldn’t need any time to adapt. He could cover every position across the front and you know you’d get commitment and goals.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all actually if he was one of the ones we tried for late on loan. Moyes has got previous for those sort of moves.

Being desperate isn’t good though is it mate. Personally i would like us to move on from signings like this but if it was to happen I know loads would love it given how popular he still is with fans.
