Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Leif Davis from Ipswich? LB who had 18 assists in the 23/24 season though that was in the Championship. Only 3 this year but he's been in a relegation team. The RS are being linked with him but he'd be second choice to Robinson if he went there. On £25,000 pw at Ipswich so his wage would not be a problem.
He’s been found out defensively this season, he’s miles away from being a good enough defender in the Premier league.
 

I automatically have some concerns over Everton's recruitment, because I haven't understood our strategy for years, and I will remain sceptical until I see a plan and some common sense.

We have new people in charge now so it's very much a case of wait and see. It's definitely not time for panic, but there's no reason to be extremely positive either yet. We don't know what's going to happen, but we definitely need to see good decision making.

There's a joke in there somewhere. Something around the fact he keeps getting turned over

I'm not sure it's quite as simple as that - Ipswich have played a fairly attacking system all season. Davis has been exposed because of it - now could he be doing better individually in defensive scenarios? Possibly? Probably? But every player is only as good as the system they're playing in - if your fullback is exposed because your balance is off, he's not going to look great.

That being said, he may well not be up to it, but there's at least some context there that needs to be taken into consideration.

Edit - Just remembered being told a few months ago that he actually played as a centre back at Leeds, so I'm not sure he'll be completely defensively inept
 

us and fulham being linked to Nuno Tavares, LB currently at Lazio on loan from Arsenal, it is believed they have a low fee agreed with Arsenal to buy the player, they are looking to buy and then immediately sell to turn a quick profit


He has 8 assists this season, but has had a few injuries as well. Better quality than Leif Davis and Victor Kristiansen
 
I'm tired of seeing the shouts for us to finish mid table next year. Screw that I want us to be challenging for Europe next year. We already have a mid table squad, if you exclude the Villa game as that was a Dyche team its 21 points from 14 games, that form over 34 games would have us on 51 pts level with Fulham (8th) and Brighton (9th).
The move to new stadium could scupper things as it often takes teams a while to settle, but at least its the start of the season and its up to us fans to make sure the team know they are at home!
A pre-season with Moyes and 3 or 4 quality early signings will see us in good shape. People say X or Y isnt good enough and then say it will take a few seasons to get above mid-table. We already are a mid-table team with X and Y in the team!!!
A Striker is key but also are goals from other positions and the providers. Whatever striker we have we need to play to their strengths and currently we are not doing that. Building for the future is all well and good but I want to improve what we have now and push for Europe next year, its not as big a jump as some are making out. If that means keeping most of what we have (on short term deals) and adding a few quality signings then so be it.

i’m liking it mate ;)
 
We have been linked to Strasbourg striker Emegha before, reports this morning that we have "held talks" looks a decent player, scored 14 in ligue 1 in france, linked to chelsea becasue they have a controlling stake in strasbourg, but they would need to move players on to take him there, so may instead prefer to sell and make a profit.

Interesting career, there's absolutely no way of looking at his career and knowing if he would be good or underwhelming.
Some places he's been ace, some places not so much
