Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Some fella called McAtee just got an assist for England under 21’s. Might be worth a look.

He was fairly average tonight though and didn't really stand out

 

[Bluewolf]

this is such an odd piece of reasoning. Like, surely that’s still a positive thing? To be have someone who makes us dangerous from set pieces?

Not when the rest of his game is in contrast to what the manager wants from his players.

If hes going to be a forward player he needs to have pace in order to press high up the pitch, win balls back, spring counter attacks, transition up the pitch with the ball and be involved with final third attacking threat.

McNeil is slow and one footed. So hes predictable and easy to defend against. Hence why his first touch and pass are usually backwards because he knows that if he moves forward with the ball he'll either be forced into a area he'll be ineffective in or more then likely have the ball taken off him.

As i said before set pieces are a good string to your bow but not at the expense of the rest of the style of play.

In what fantasy world do you live in where a player who's fairly awesome every night and really stands out is either affordable or sees us right now as a place to be? It's time for the delusion to stop, there's a lot of work to do...roll up your 'kin sleeves.

I heard DM was tapping up the Royal Family when receiving his MBE yesterday - asking if Prince Andrew could be put to use as a corner flag

Pardon? I was just referring to him not standing out tonight despite the assist suggesting he had a worldy of a game. I can see his talent but I'm just not sold on him for the price tag quoted

Hat trick for the big German tonight.
Will end up at one of the top German clubs

Brighton love to get big money for players so it's a warning sign for me if they're happy to let people like Ferguson go.

Just like they were happy to sell Maupay to us... personally, I would steer clear of Ferguson - in part for the reason you have given.

Read: I'm sick of general negative demeanors, I've dealt with @davek for almost 2 decades...he brings out the extreme in me.

He hasn't got the work rate. Never breaks a sweat apparently.

I can understand that regarding Davek as he's definitely a glass half empty kind of guy. He loves the club though so fair play to him

Trends are highlighted: right-backs, for instance, are in extremely short supply.

The more things change…

The second half of that sentence is extremely questionable unless you only consider love to be unhealthy and disfunctional.

Whilst Brentford are managerless we should try and nab Damsgaard from them

That’s how it works right?

No, what you do is you go and find the player BEFORE his price triples with a PL move.

Nonsense. He is one of the better players.
