Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[JohnRoss23]

That Leeds sub looked ok, perhaps we should get him. I think his name was Harrison.

Jesus wept. He had two years to prove something and he was awful.

 

[blueblood]

Didn't seem to have much substance? Other than Dibling is not dead.

If he was that would probably be our best chance of negotiating a fee for him.

 

[Zatara]

Travers fee isn’t too far off the discrepancy for Dibling is it

£4mil for Travers.

Also the £28mil (£25+3mil) overpayment for KDH isnt looking to clever to some who thought it was a good deal now i suspect.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Citizen of Suburbia is adamant and id respect his opinion more then most. I also see a few signs in our negoating position that would indicate the need for value, to make me think.

Agreed on a loan and frees but you are into the Brownhill market then and though a deal like that could be necessary if COS is correct, it wouldn't get the heart racing, nor would i particularly be a fan.

I guess we will see, either believing or not - most are projecting based on their own opinion.

Fair enough mate. I wasn’t being snarky, like, I literally have no idea re online ITKs and whatnot, outside this fine forum of course…

I’m well and truly at the stage when I just want the window shut. Wake me up when @Goat has published the definitive squad list.

Back in for Hackney before the end of the window

Get real Everton , Dibiling for 40m we haven't a right back , a right winger who can start week in week out or a DM. 40m for a 19 year old is an extravagance when we need actual starters who can improve the team now.. I just don't see him being that

 

[MikeH72]

£1m???

It was £4m though wasn’t it. If we’re playing the payment up front game then Dibling wouldn’t cost us £50m up front either would he, so yes the £1m probably would’ve helped towards whatever the first instalment for him was.

Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't aware we paid transfer fees all up front now.

 

[JohnRoss23]

Our transfer strategy, if we have one, is all over the place it seems.

The club is still a mess top to bottom

 

[MikeH72]

What are you on about? I just said Dibling wouldn’t cost us £50m up front either, if we’re working on the basis that we’ve only paid £1m for Travers (we haven’t, we’ve paid £4m)

 

[yakublue]

We change the personel at the top, we change the owers, we change the manager. Still the inept culture at the club of "that'll do" still continues and that's why we will never succeed. Until it changes we won't progress. Why is it judge you on September 1st no I judge you when the season starts. We have no right winger with pace, and a centre back playing right back.

Mate, no offence but this doesn't really make any sense

if we've changed every layer of the club hierarchy, where do you think the "inept culture" resides? Who exactly are you complaining about if it isn't the owner / manager / "personel at the top"? Maybe the issue is with the tea lady?

Or maybe it's harder than we think for a club that's been struggling with relegation for years and cycling through managers to sign players that are going to make a difference in moving them up the table?

Apologies mate, didn't mean to come across short in any way in my reply!

Mentally im at end game of the window now, if we sign someone today they aren't starting against Brighton any way if Jack last night is anything to go by - so from today until the 1st is the end of the window now in my head.

Also think we will be grand, wel do another 2 or 3 easy in my opinion.

I don’t think they are truly after him. It’s just the same old crap to make the fans think they are trying. Just waiting for the “we tried our best” at the end of the window now.

 

[nevsonlymate]

Have we tried Travers there?

Travers in goal , Pickford on the right oh i forgot he's a leftie to

 

[NeilMorepies]

Jesus wept. He had two years to prove something and he was awful.

He may be terrible, but he is still better than anything else we have in the squad for that position at the moment.

One year contract, try again next summer.
