Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

Post stubbo-admin »

May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.

Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

Of course we are fucked next season. Over the last few seasons under the clueless Sullivan we have been wasting huge amounts of money on duds who after a year or two with us end up with next to no sell on value.  And in addition to that they managed to waste the Rice jackpot.
Now we have another clueless manager who shows no signs of being in any way pro-active in the transfer market and will soon have us in a relegation dog fight. 
Potter will have gone before Christmas but tragically the cause of our decline will still be here.

I can't claim to have seen a lot of him, but I thought that Leicester keeper was absolutely mustard against us at their place.

West Ham United interested in Leicester City goalkeeper Mads Hermansen..

#ExWHUEmployee

Now out of him and Ramsdale, I prefer this Keeper which would be a step in the right direction. 

Hopefully they are still looking for even better than both but don't hold out much hope there.

That funnels us towards having to use his agent contacts as the window closes in.  

The need and identification of young up and coming players will be ignored and Potter and Macaulay will largely have to settle on “used goods”, 25 years or likely nearer 30 but meeting Sullivan’s top requirement which is Premiership experience. By definition they will be on high wages and Sullivan as always will be seduced by the name of a big club thet the player once played for.  

Relegatiion itself or a relegation fight, long hard season seems by far the most likely outcome based  on the way things are shaping up.  “Back to where we belong” with this owner.  
I don't disagree with the August timeline...but don't think that's down to Sullivan this time.

We're frankly, an unattractive proposition, with many ahead of us in the queue for the better talent.

So we either go in for the second or third tier prospects who see us as the peak of their current ambitions, or we wait to see if the bigger Lions have their fill and some of the choicer morsels remain available.

That looks like August, however you spin it. 

I do think we'll end up with younger prospects....but they'll be cheap punts from shit leagues...not top prospects from second tier leagues like Belgium...because the chairman sees anything over 10m as needing to be a sure thing, not a punt.

Any big money will be spent on our of contract players...which is where the older age bracket will come in. 

In reality we need a set of players nearing their prime....23-26 who are ready for the hear and now. We're not stable enough to be buying 'for the future'.
We are an unattractive proposition because the way the football side of the business is run is a complete fuckin' omnishambles. I blame the other shareholders as much as I blame the current chairman and his sidekick. If anything they are worse because it must be clear to them that even a modestly encouraging improvement in the way the football side operates would make their shareholding far more valuable. 

It will never be more than treading water under the current set up...FFS nobody is asking for champions league just a good, solid competitive team that regularly sticks a spanner in the works of the best laid plans of the big 4 to 6 clubs.

It shouldn't be this incompetent 🤯

If it’s true that we are touting Kudus to clubs rather than waiting for an approach then we won’t get close to the asking price. Will end up being something like 50m.

Kudus may well be left with the option of move to Saudi or stay at West Ham.

maybe Chelsea will cough up £70m, but i dont see Spurs/Newcastle doing that.

Levy might be willing to bite the bullet, but from what I understand, Sullivan might not be.

Pretty sure that he's not exactly keen on doing business with Spurs either.

About the only thing he does/doesn't do that I'm on board with.
