Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Given the PSR issues Villa and Newcastle have, any one we could grab from either club?

Newcastle don't have any PSR issues

Take advantage of the Bissouma situation at Spurs and go for a season-long loan?

Not sure Moyes would be a big fan of his personality/character, but he's an excellent player.

Don’t need that inference in our club.

He didn’t even play the same system from 2002-2013 but of course you wouldn’t know that as you started watching us in 2014.

He really really did. I’m pretty sure someone compared KDH to Tim Cahill when I was saying I didn’t like the signing a few weeks ago. Things have been tweaked but he’s a 4-4-1-1 lifer.

This was also not meant as a criticism. It’s a good, functional, and versatile way to play. But he’s always adapted within his system. He’s not turned up with a team looking like Antonio Conte’s at some point.

They want players in….anyone at this rate.

Absolutely cracking player when he’s on and his head is in it. Unfortunately I don’t see Moyes remotely entertaining a move due to Bissouma’s antics

i wouldnt mind soucek as back but feel like moyes would wedge him into the 10 role which we don’t want

west ham are also supposedly only going to let him go if they get Hackney. id rather we went for Hackney

Gallagher and Mainoo supposedly available on loan too. just a lot of better options out there

No sure if its still the case, but the amount of time Mainoo got dribbled past was a big concern. Likely why he can't get a game at utd

 

[Curtis]

Oh

Douglas Luiz would have fitted the bill.

He was never available if forest were always interested, as Kia (Luiz's agent) has very close connections to Edu

 

[Baggzio]

Soucek seems a no brainer really, for the right fee. Not a player we'll ever get a sale for of course, but a very solid player who'd have no problem playing well into 34/35. Him, Dibling and a right back would be decent business for us, try to fill loans elsewhere then.

i wouldnt be surprised if we got ross barkley in on loan

 

[Curtis]

I remember talking to a west ham supporter about Soucek, his take was that he considered him decent, he provides goals but is terrible at passing, sounds like someone who just left the club

 

[Simon Buttle]

Newcastle don't have any PSR issues

Neither do Villa, their issue is with the UEFA 70% rule

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Stinks of Saudi does Ross.

 

[carolinablue232]

Clearly Amorim doesn’t rate him

If Amorim doesn’t rate him, then he’s likely to be very good. Amorim probably can’t even match his own two socks.

Amorim was saying in an interview that the reason why the lad isn’t starting was because he was in competition with Fernandez for a place in the starting 11.
