Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Can't see him working alongside Alcaraz and Ndiaye.

He'd be a major upgrade on 4 assists in 3 years Jimmy Garner who people weirdly love. We've been needing creativity from central midfield for ages, he'd offer that. Kind of agree though, I don't think Moyes will want him.

Even Garner had 4 goals and 8 assists in his full season in the Championship. And he was 20.

Hamer isn't good enough, if he was, he wouldn't have been in the championship.

You mean to tell me that 99% of us know eff all about anything?

And nothing has changed!

Didn't look great at Goodison Park last season.

I think he's a very good player, I love watching him. Championship POTS, him coming off in the play off final was a major major blow for them.

Our squad is thinner than a tramps undies. I could see Hamer in a role like Shaquiri was for the [Poor language removed]... not starting every week, but making a big difference off the bench with free kicks and late goals...

he’s 5ft 7 he’s hardly a midget

Found the short-arse.

Championship POTS, proper poo isn't he??

We'll see what happens, if it's coming from Crook it's BS anyway

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Sorry but take one look at that Hamer and tell me with a straight face Moyesy wants to sign him. He's an absolute pudding who's blood is 90% custard

So 30mil for someone to come off the bench and take a free kick. Sounds like a plan He got 4 goals in his only season in the prem, playing every week, what are you expecting him to do of the bench. We could actually loan a player on the cheap, or get a free transfer to cover that role for a year.

Here's a picture from Gustavo's most recent advertisement deal

Where you getting this 30m from??

Well he’s going to cost 15mil I’d say at least. And a 3/4yr deal so add his wages too

Can’t remember too many league 1 level midfielders getting multiple motm awards in the premier league and starring against Yaya Toure and the City midfield in a league cup semi final. But yeah let’s just judge him on how he played rehabbing from a snapped cruciate.

Gueye is not good on the ball, spin it whatever way you want. He’s extremely good of the ball, great at making tackles, blocking passing lanes, blocking shots etc. but he’s average at best on the ball. He’s not going to spray balls from a deep lying position to spring forwrad players, he very rarely gets one through the lines (think his one to Ndiaye v Spurs is the only one I remember) at best he gives it sideways safely but there’s a lot of times he plays it blind across the middle of the pitch and we get in trouble.

We can, and need to, get better quality in there. Gueye has been a good player for us but it’s just pure sentimentalism to want to see him starting next season.

Dont think we have any cm at the club who can do that sort of passing, is the best cm at the club is not sentimentalism to want him to start next season. Ofc i want to add more quality in to cm to provide a real fight to start. He would be getting a two year deal for me dor him being a starter at the start of the season so hopefully another cm can grow into the role through the season

Like others have said I'll put this down to TalkShite chatting

I just think he would be a good player, I'll agree to disagree cos nothing solid ATM.

that’s exactly the problem, we need to buy someone who can pass a ball like that. We need a midfield dictator who can mix up short and long passing, taking the ball off the CBs and playing between the lines. When they do this the opposition CBs have to back off because they don’t want to be exposed over the top and the opposition midfield are worried to press too hard in case they’re bypassed, so they all sit deeper and we have more of the ball.

When Gueye or Garner get the ball from our CBs, the entire opposition team know they don’t have a pass in them and can squeeze up as tight as they want because in all likelihood they’re either going to cough possession up or just go back to a defender to hoof it.
