Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Hojlund isn’t crap, United are crap.

He wasn't that good before he went to United, and they massively overpaid for him. He's not worth the punt even

Monday night against Leeds it was evident that a right side winger is essential. I think it would be very unrealistic to expect dibling to play every game but as I stated in the last post that's further down the list

I wouldn’t draw any conclusions from that performance.

Still irks me we never got William Carvalho. Such a classy player back in the day.

More irked about moutinho

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

We won't know that till he plays there.

Yeah , obviously.
But conversationally, from my observation, I don’t think he is good enough.
My preference for a lower division signing would be Hackney , different position but a far more intelligent and skilful player at that level.

Remember when Rooney signed for the mancs on the August bank holiday Monday?

What a horrible day that was.

Didn’t we draw 0-0 at old Trafford that day too, always wondered were we helped along with that result

Ross Barkley Loan
Brownhill Free
Soucek fee

The trifecta of Everton fan fume for the mediocre midfield

And not one of them wants to be wide on the pitch.

Have a look at Grealish's heat map from yesterday. He's perfectly happy wide and stretching the pitch

Surely there's a Portuguese holding midfielder out there we can be linked to like the glory days

Weren't we linked to Floretino Luiz from Benifica earlier in this window?

But he doesn't play on the right

 

[ElGato]

What’s happened there? Fell out with the manager or something?

Seems like only a few months ago they were hyping him as the next big thing.

Amorim is very particular about who suits his system and who doesn't, he wants physical players with positional awareness/tactical malleability (I.e. follow strict instructions). Mount for instance is his wet dream, but this kid isn't - I think because he is less dynamic and positionally aware, bit more of an instinctive midfielder who wants to drift about the shop and not much of a tenacious presser off the ball

Would love us to sign him, but he's not really the profile we need perhaps for the same reason Amorim doesn't want him (pace and power)

He’s no Big Willy though

Yeh on the left.

Hated him and was worried every time I saw his named linked with us.

Remember him being touted as a huge star of the future and I just saw a big plodder.

I still think I was right

Yeah nobody has provided a copy of Floretino Luiz's passport on here yet

Reminded me of this:



He would probably have been destroyed in the prem. Great porn stashe though.
