Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

We were after Juanlu from there weren’t we? Could be the deal. Also Juanlu plays anywhere on the right so could be used as a right winger too

He wants Napoli and they are messing about trying to get him at a lower price. I think I read us and West Ham have shown real interest but I suppose it all hinges on if Napoli decide to walk away

I think Gallagher would be excellent in the system we played on Sunday as the right sided number 8. Can't see it though. I'm not actually a huge fan of his as a player, but I can appreciate he would probably bring a lot to the team.

He is ideal for a Moyes double pivot in a 4-2-3-1, covers a lot of ground and gets up and down.

Only issue is whether he is tall enough. I feel like we need some height in one of those centre midfield roles for set pieces and second balls.

James Justin signs for Leeds, £8m + £2m add ons. Another RB bites the dust.

As yes but you are forgetting he is gash and not good enough anyway

More excited about being linked with Paqueta from West Ham lol

 

[Bally1989]

Doesn’t Paqueta play a lot deeper for Brazil or have I just made that up?

People dismissing Conor Gallagher need to follow a different sport.

He’s EXACTLY what we need.

High energy, box to box, workhorse & possesses real quality.

I’d be over the moon if he came in on loan, followed up by a CF & a RB.

We’d be well set then.

I’d love a midfield of

KDH. Gallagher

Gueye

They’d need to work at making sure they don’t leave gaps but all work hard. Gallagher linking up with NDiaye on the right and KDH doing the same with Grealish on the left. Dibling to come on against tired legs or when we want to go more attacking with all 3 of our forward players

 

[Drico]

Has to be.... Can't believe we are going with JOB all season only! Unless we now have our RB/LB cover in Garner!

"Seamus will be like a new signing..."

 

[hetion]

You can’t play ndiyee, grealish and Dibling without someone with experience covering the gaps they are leaving.

We absolutely do need two things:

Someone to cover the gaps behind them
Someone who can pass to them

Soucek, who over the last two seasons has been bottom ~25% for tackles among midfielders and bottom ~10% for progressive passes among midfielders...is not the answer.

He does absolutely nothing we need on top of being an un-resellable PSR waste.

 

[BigBeto1]

Could we say the same about Grealish so?

Grealish is a loan and will be gone next year. So this is a really bad example

At times the only option is stare blankly at the screen and slowly shake one’s head

Other than Barry who's not bagged yet, have we technically filled _any_ of those spaces, beyond Dibling this week.

KDH, is barely a centre mid.

Not that I minded watching Jack on Sunday ( I've moaned about what a strange loan this, happy to eat humble pie if produces more of that ).

I agree with this. If you look at our business with a keen eye, we're now dependent on three kids hitting the ground running and the two signings for the here and now - KDH and Grealish - staying fit and performing.

Now, it could all work out for us and the three kids make an instant impact - but I wouldn't have thought that was realistic.

We have lots of work still to do over the coming week. And there will still be plenty to do for the next window.

Are you sure about that
You seem to have more info than Jack ,Moyes and the Man City Hierarchy

 

[twoblue]

Is Mainoo even any good? Never really impressed me. Seems more like another Billy Gilmour.

Played for Man Utd so instantly hailed a wonder kid and shipped into the England squad. Risky signing for me…
The argument against sounek is that he is nt a fashionable signing, but people scoffed when we were in For Tarks, Barry.
Sounek would be a plan b option, offering some height and agression at both ends of the pitch, unlikely to rock the boat and be good squad player over the season.
We need to bulk the squad.
a plattering of H and M staples amongst your Hugo Boss

No he won’t if he keeps playing like did in the weekend we’ll trigger the buy clause
