Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Can't we take a punt on that Coventry right back? Linked to Wolfsburg for £8m.

Could have sworn O'Brien played well there last year but it might have been a dream.

O'Brien's main job is keeping Keane far away from the 1st team.

Kinda risky to have him playing at RB all season at the same time as Tarkowski and Branthwaite.

This is the Luis we should be after

Thought we were few weeks ago. Would be a great signing

If this is true I'm actually a little surprised. Got the impression he wasn't unsettled and was okay with staying another year if it didn't go through.

Southampton have spent the week spinning their tale through Ornstein and others.
His head will be turned, he will want the move.
We will sign him early next week at the latest.

Deal for KDH Was wrapped up very fast but rumoured for a few days before being confirmed. Grealish and Dibling, both been rumoured for quite a while now.

Feel like we often sign players completely out of the left field with no prior links towards the end of summer windows. Who knows who will become available but I'm expecting a surprise.

Surprised at speed of the KDH transfer.
Quickly agreed then our infamous medical and media duties all wrapped up in 24 hrs.....I like it.

Dibling would come in as a starter. You can't not for that fee.

You also couldn't not start him given his ability on the ball.

That said, football is very much a squad game and the principle of a club having "a starting XI" is a legacy.

He wants to play football .
He won’t sit on the bench most of the season.
He was leaving because of lack of game time under Dyche .
Use him or lose him .

Sounds like an std

How often are you looking up potential stds on the Internet?

That benj said octopus soon on the reply to Elton.

Isn’t that Florentino Luís from Benfica we’ve been linked to previously nicknamed the octopus?

I've looked back to Shakespearean times and I have no idea what

'That benj said octopus soon on the reply to Elton' means

Ideally I'd want O'Brien and Branthwaite playing together, with Tarkowski doing the bench duty, but we seem to have lapses in concentration without him on the pitch.

Signing Keane as 4th choice is going to bite us in the bum multiple times this season unless that RB gets signed and frees O'Brien up to play CB is my point.

I said 1 new face in this week… how is that nobody?

Still 7-8 weeks into the window and bought 1 starter.

When we still have a gaping hole down the right side and somewhat average midfield.

“we’ll go with what we’ve you said”

I think the fact he's currently playing and winning in the CL just might rule us out of this one.

On the first flight to England, then?
