Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

[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?

Window this close season comes in two parts:

Part 1: 1st June to 10th June
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September

[El Scorchio]

Do you think he's actually going to be our player next season then?

[Lee Trundle]

Some good news for once this close season.

Ghana haven't qualified for the AFCON, so Kudus will be available for us while that's being played.

[nychammer]

Overpaid and massively over the hill? No thanks.


 

Just our type of signing 

[Mad Ferret]

Keeping Coufal would've made more sense than signing Walker.

[greenie1]

No offence to Bowen, but we really need a leader on the pitch.

[E6 Hammer]

The only thing that has really surprised me so far this window is that we weren't in for kyle Walker. He ticks so many boxes for our chairman. I can only assume that Walker made it clear he didnt want to move south.

Kyle Walker - I agree would have been a decent signing. That said, due to his Spurs connections there would have been dissenters for that reason.

Saying that, transfermarkt have him valued at 20m EUR so if anything Sullivan has gone in above his market value.

Parma need a realty check if they're asking for £45m.

[Lee Trundle]

Just read we bid 25 mill for that Parma keeper they value at 45 mill.

They told us to fuck off.

Of course they did.

Embarrassing from Sullivan yet again.

I don't know why we'd be looking at a goalkeeper valued at £45m in the first place.

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

It's not a slightly different position though, is it? Switching sides is fine for some players, not for others. AWB can play LB, Coufal couldn't. Depends massively on their style of play. All this shit about how much they earn is irrelevant. I don't give a toss about him being "uppity". If he's playing shit because of the position he's played in then a big happy smile on his face won't change a fucking thing anyway.

[Ron Eff]

I’m referring to last season, when he clearly threw his toys out of the pram being asked to play on the left. 

It wasn’t Paqueta’s chosen position the season prior either, but he just got on with it. 

You know the two players are completely different, right? Paqueta didn't suddenly play as a left winger, running with the ball, bunging crosses in, etc. He played his own game, same as he does in the centre, fancy tricks, slick passing, careless giving the ball away. It made little difference to him that he was played wider. In some ways he might have preferred it as he linked up well with Emerson.

Kudus, on the other hand, his whole game is about running with the ball TOWARDS the goal. Not away from it. Not running it to the corner flag or being pushed sideways or backwards as the defender knows how to play him (which is what mostly happened). I don't blame him for getting an attitude about it. I blame the idiots in charge for not seeing what a piss poor decision it was to play him there again and again and again.

Lopetegui in particular should have put Bowen up front with Kudus on the right rather than playing the completely ineffectual Antonio in the centre. Potter I could understand a bit more as he doesn't like that sort of direct running anyway. He probably actually liked Kudus just keeping the ball and running backwards and sideways with it. Got to keep those possession stats up.

You don’t have an issue with a bloke being paid about £100k a week getting all uppity about being asked to play in a slightly different position for the team? The same prick who is now pining for a move to Tottenham? Will you clap him when he comes back?

[Dick Shaftsbury]

"Tottenham's bid for Mohammed Kudus included add-ons that only kicked in if they win the Champions League or Premier League, talkSPORT understands."

LOL that is hilarious. 

[fraser]

Absolute whiff of ladysmith/ferret with this one. 

Absolute whiff of twoleftfeet this post.. 

What’s this got to do with me you fucking cսnt of a man? I don’t give a toss where Kudus goes as long as we get top dollar for him.

Now fuck off you idiot.

Lack of sense of humour from  you, you're always accusing everyone of being an N17 fan so nothing to do with Kudus.. 

[twoleftfeet]

I honestly thought the days of us acting as a stepping stone for players going to Spurs were years gone!

I think the day Kudus got here he was using us as a stepping stone whomever he goes to.

Ive never taken to Kudus...he's always been a short term flipper for me... .
good riddance ...60 minimum and we've made a tidy  profit on a geezer who is massively overrated
