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

[THUNDERCLINT]

Few on X saying Wilson has agreed to join. 

 

 

Wilson AND Brownhill have been agreed for weeks. It's all just about manipulating the narrative to reduce the reaction before the announcement. Brownhill will be mid to late August.

Apparently we will only make a maximum of 2 more signings after Wilson and Brownhill and neither will be for cash unless all of Aguerd, Alvarez and Guilerme leave.

[Mad Ferret]

You just know Cwilse will bang them in for us

Another solid addition.

[Briano]

He’ll score 1st game v Sunderland then become our shitcunt 

[Massive Attack]

Yep, that can happen as well in conjunction.

[kylay]

Come on WHU fans, get that fucking petition signed..

If it managed at least 50 sigs a day for 365 days a year, we'll be motoring before the seasons out with around 20,000 by then at that rate.

While incredibly well-intentioned and I fully support any effort to remove Sullivan, online petitions are not worth the bandwidth they travel on. The group organizing this would do much better organizing a physical presence protest be it inside or outside the ground or anywhere other than online.

[El Scorchio]

Would rather he bought that one. 

[honky cat]

[Lee Trundle]

Callum fucking Wilson has been an absolute shitcunt to our club over the years.

He'll be shit for us and we can abuse him all season.  That's the only positive I see from him joining.

[claypole]

If you ever wanted a snapshot of how football has moved on and left that useless dinosaur Sullivan behind the Wilson transfer is it.

[Iron Duke]

Hats off to Macaulay for finding this youngster Callum Wilson. I reckon he can go on to do great things. Definitely one for the future.

Thank God we don’t have a meddling owner.

[El Scorchio]

I can't fucking believe it's happening. 

Ive been trying my absolute hardest to be positive about the coming season, because it's been so shit for so long I'm desperate for the season to be at least bearable. 

However, the is absolutely no defending this signing on any level. Absolute fucking shitcunts. I can't waste too much energy hating footballers I don't know, but if I had to pick one, it would be Callum fucking.Wilson.

I'd rather have kept Danny Ings. At least i dont detest that cսnt.

Agree. It feels spiteful from Sullivan. As was mentioned by someone earlier. Surely of the out of contract players you’d pursue DCL. Although he probably wants more money. 
it’s objectively such a pointless signing. 

And yes the player is a cսnt and I believe had had a few choice words for West Ham in the past. I don’t want him here either. 

[threesixty]

Feels like Groundhog Day. What’s the difference between having Ings on the bench and Wilson? If you don’t have tactics that genuinely use a striker as a 1st choice strategy then what is the point? He’s literally going to setup exactly like he has in the last 6 months. It all feels a bit sad really. Like we are going to crash the car and the brakes are failing…

Course he would. Sullivan doesn’t give a shit seen as I’m sure he and his mate are doing ok out of it so it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. In fact in his head it’s probably sticking two fingers up at oiks like us as well so he’s probably revelling. 

[goose]

They wouldn't dare sign Callum Wilson.................. would they?

Who is Wilson going to score against if he plays for us?

 

 

Us? Think Iain Dowie.

[Massive Attack]

Not saying I agree with it, but Bowen is clearly going to be playing up front more than on the wing. Can be the only reason Potter doesn't see striker as a priority.

Bowen / Fullkrug / AnyonebutWilson









 

I actually don't like seeing Bowen up front, don't think he's good enough to lead a line and link play, looking lost at times when asked. Granted he works his bollocks off which I'd never question, however I just think it doesn't do us or him any favours. When he plays wide right though he comes to life in a big way. If part of the logic to solving our Striker situation is chucking him up top occasionally, then I can't agree with it. 

 

I don't think anyone wants him up there but it's the reality that Potter doesn't really use traditional wide players... Which is why Bowen looked shit and anonymous for spells last season, its just the reality of what's likely to happen and not because we're short of strikers but to shoe horn him in. 

I wasn't aware of that about Potter. Great fit for us bringing someone like that in when we had a Squad built for it. Kudus already gone so can see real weight behind what you say regarding wide forwards.

I agree, unfortunately like we saw a lot last season, Potter clearly doesn't agree.

Best we can hope for is Fullkrug stays fit for most of the season and Potter is brave with how we set up, using 2 wide men, Bowen being one of those. Can't see it, but live in hope.

I don't rate the manager and am not confident, but he's in charge, so I'll be getting behind him out the traps and hope im wrong.

No striker is going to do anything of note for us with such a woeful midfield and shit service. I'd like us to fix both positions this window, but contrary to some of you, I also see a dynamic midfield as more of a priority and then the striker as the cherry on top (but you need an actual cake first to put the cherry on) We will manage with Fullkrug/Bowen up front if they actually get opportunities provided for them, but I don't see where those are coming from unless we fix the midfield first. If I could only have one, it would be the midfield for now.

However, I do agree that getting in a decent striker would be much more of a statement move from the club. Still hoping that we address midfield quite soon and then find some resource for striker as well this summer.
