Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Naylor56]

Alcarez in the middle, ndiaye and a fast winger and we would look a whole different team. The amount of times we had the chance to counter and Harrison and doucoure were useless

Lindelof on a free as good experienced cover at the back?
Moyes seems to be in favour.

Can cover a few roles, would have to take a pay cut no doubt.

Yep wages would be the sticking point. He's a good experienced pro but would probably want first team football.

Personally wouldn't touch anything in that United team, would rather have younger more hungry players, not consider players on high wages who would more than likely treat us as a step down.

1 rapid winger, Alcaraz and as good a striker as we can get and our attack is revolutionised. That must be our starting point, as attack is clearly and obviously our weak area.

Then we work from there: CM who can pass the ball, a genuine RB that can cross, a proper LB, and another striker with promise to bolster the ranks.

New contracst to Gueye and Virginia, send all others packing. Try to get Beto out for £15-20m.

Any links? Anything at all?

Not every old player is a shirker, some of our best players have been free transfers from bigger clubs. Lindeloth is a wholehearted player who will try his hardest whoever he plays for, but it won't be us.

Plus he looks like the type of player who would end up in the treatment room more than on the pitch for us. We've had more than enough of these type of players.

I wouldn't expect anything yet, we still need to sort the management structure.

Was an interesting podcast earlier this week from the Blue Room, Paddy Boyland explaining the structure they are going to create; rather than a Director of Football overseeing everything there would be specialist positions and we hope to have them all done by May.

Sounds like it will be more of a team deciding on targets rather than just one person which sounds sensible.

I'd take everything with a pinch of salt until then, should lead to a fun summer though

All good providing we had a decent striker too - which we don't

Too old , too overpaid and too injured

Why sell Beto? He offers something different.

Doesn't mean he has to be the main striker or anything but we will need options. He is a perfectly fine squad player.

100%. I'd have taken McTominay, and it's no surprise to me that he's flourishing over in Italy.

 

[Yarrgh]

Step 1: harrison out the door.

He'd walk into the 'kin door frame.

Always thought he was rubbish myself.
