Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

I imagine it's like the film close encounters of the third kind where Mike is making a recreation of finch farm in his potatoes during dinner time

Just drew Nick Hammond’s face on one and volleyed it over the fence.

No-one in for Brighton then....

Nope Benitez signed them both, nothing to do with Brands. Hence his exit not long after.

Not sure Benitez would even know who Patterson was

 

[RichCee123]

I'd rather him that Dibble

The deal is you have to take Maupay too

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Completely unrelated to his penchant for posting but has anyone wrecked their marriage due to GOT?

Nope just my wrist

I do find it interesting that Moyes had a pop at the leaks in information getting out and suddenly it’s radio silence from all channels.

Can’t help but think that if you read/heard that and you were a club employee feeding info, regardless of if it was medical info, transfer info or whatever that you would definitely dial it back! Seems obvious they might be looking over your shoulder…

He was signed under Brands. But, and this is the important point in this discussion, not under Thelwell.

So we’ve learned that Lampard and Thelwell signed Patterson, despite neither being at the club at the time. Right.

Any actual transfer news?

Benitez did sign both but brands had them on a shortlist but just as future prospects not as first team starters so we have to Benitez to thank for that

I’ll probably be in here at the same time as I’m on a night shift again. Enjoy!

That’s it you’ve thrown down the gauntlet, I’m going to have count your posts over a 24hr period on a daily basis now

Very true. I was scared just telling the internet we were crap last night.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

As it stands we'll almost certainly be further away from that ultimate goal than we were last season. Hopefully there is a plan to rectify that in the next 13 days but the further into this window we get the less likely a coherent plan looks and the more likely we are to see a Lindstrom/Harrison we'll take what's available on loan approach to the window.

P.S. @Noisy noise annoys I'm not suggesting we will literally sign Harrison or Lindstrom, I know nothing gets your juices flowing more than that, I am merely suggesting that the longer the window goes the more likely we are to be left with that type of transfer.

It does indeed! Largely because it is so unnecessary - however, as time goes on there will defo be some duffer fillers signed before window close.

There is every chance he was chatting about with Gerrard about Rangers talent.
