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

City starting to circle round Paqueta 
this could be disastrous 
we’ve spent a third of the kudus money and can’t seem to sign anyone else so there’s absolutely no point in trying to bring in anymore money 
No doubt in my mind Sullivan would try to replace him with a has been like Grealish 
If we sell the second of our best 3 players it’s gonna be curtains 

They’ve just signed Reijnders, I don’t see them wanting Paqueta as well. 

I hope not
There’s a few articles out there now saying they’ve made it clear they’re still interested in him

Like many on here I’ve been approaching this new season with dread and negativity- not helped by the lack of anything exciting happening in the transfer market. But what we’ve seen in the two games in America at least suggests some sort of plan, a bit of team spirit, a potential leader in Füllkrug and some positive signs from the youth as well as some who’ve looked like they should be shipped out. I despise Sullivan and I’m nervous about Potter but you don’t think we might actually be ok- even quite good after all? 

Very true, it's been a good pre-season overall so far in that respect. Generally happy with what I've seen.

Still plenty of time for Sullivan to fuck it up by cutting corners or going rogue in the transfer market.

As shit as the potless dwarf is . At what point is it going to effect kretinsky and tripp smith . Dwarf is skint what's there excuse. 

 

Waiting for Relegation....  

And I don't blame them. Afterall, it's only what GSB did themselves when a Club is at rock bottom, so takes one to know one.

[Mad Ferret]

Sully going for the cheap option. Supports the rumour that he thinks Potter and Macaulay’s targets are too expensive.  

“Trust in Sullivan” because thats worked so well these last 15 years. “First class team for a first class stadium”.  Actually thinking about it, we have got the right squad / team for that stadium. “Half baked”, “ramshackle” are words that come to mind.

As expected with Sullivan back in charge of recruitment ( because its him calling the shots ultimately) we are 2 weeks away from a new season and the mess,  he alone created by insisting against all advice to appoint Lopetegui, has still not been rectified. The problems that emerged 18 months into the Moyes era, like lack of central midfield pace and energy, still not addressed.  

Sullivan’s narcissism prevents him being unable to learn, listen and even be aware if his own failings. He is not even willing to learn. Only concessions he gives are after being forced to by other board members ( e.g. Steidten as a DOF ) but he half inplements it in a confused fashion, where recruitment ends up being shared between Steidten, Loppy and Sullivan himself, almost as if he us trying to undermine ir sabotage any changes from day one.

You gotta hand it to Sully he is a serial failure with improving the club he controls and yet, at the same time, relentless in repeating the same mistakes and being unable to learn anything.

Newcastle need a striker not a wide forward
They have Gordon Barnes Elanga Murphy & Willock
Presume they would go for that Sesko … or Danny Ings
Is Mido still playing?

Is Gordon Barnes Harvey's brother

The 1st two are almost exclusively left side, Elanga I personally have only seen operate from the left and none offer Bowen's G&A numbers. They know they're unlikely to replace Isak's output with another striker so the sensible plan is add goals to the team.

[Massive Attack]

Will someone please snatch the Sully ScattergunTM from him before he does anymore damage ffs..

[goose]

denied.

[Massive Attack]

Apparently we've bid for John Victor of Botofogo:

Roll-up, roll-up for your latest South American Sully Special!  

[eusebiovic]

Wilson signing is on Talksport too.
If it's just for a year we could do worse for a back up and would rather him than Antonio.

Stop making excuses for the dwarf...

 

It's a shit deal...only a fucking gutless invertebrate would suggest that signing Wilson is a reasonably good idea that provides value for money

It doesn't - not even on pay as you go!

[Chinkey Weasel]

I think they need both. A winger and a striker & he's pretty flexible to be fair.  Of course I don't want him going anywhere but that cսnt Sullivan's eyes will light up if they came in with a big bid for him. He wouldn't be able to resist the money....the massive cuntshovel.

I reckon if Liverpool get Isak with their 2nd bid, Newcastle will be straight in for Bowen.  I wouldn't blame him going after the shitshow that is West Ham 

Would be a bad career move going there. They're an obvious step-up but they ain't one of the big boys, and despite being owned by the Saudi's, they aren't gonna be winning anything major titles anytime soon.

Better off staying here and becoming a West Ham legend.

Apparently Callum Wilson went for his medical but turned back appalled by the smell of an almost fully decomposed body of Shaun Wright-Phillips in the waiting room. 

[ATHammer]

Following in the wheelchair tracks of previous greats, Kieron Dyer; Andy Carroll amongst others, Spire Roding are delighted to announce their latest long term inmate, sorry signing, Callum Wilson.
Callum joins us after a strenuous medical examination, a process perfected in the signing of Curt Zouma.

[Maverick180180]

It’s obvious!

he’s on £56k a week but he has to pay £50k a week in backhanders to a midget in a dodgy hat 

[El Scorchio]

Callum Wilson deal is OFF.

He turned up at LS and was angered at the lack of disabled facilities. Raised it with Sulli and the dwarf has told him to fuck off. 

Another one bites the dust. 

Yeah, but we tried....

They wanted him to provide proof he was eligible for concessions.
