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]

surely even we wouldn't let it go that far??

the only logical conclusion is having a buyer lined up for Areola.

 

 

I really hope not for his sake. And I hope he's aware of any other developments with goalkeepers so he can make an informed choice about his future. Likewise I hope we don't just ghost Leicester now. I sadly wouldn't put anything beyond our ownership. 

I'd have to agree if both are coming in then Areola must be on the way out. Bit fucking late in the window to completely revamp the goalkeeper position but better late than never I suppose, if it happens.

I have a suspicion we start the season with Victor and Areola on the books, as Sullivan probably wanted all along.

[greenie1]

Surely if we were to be bringing in a goalie, it would have been done by now.

Sorry, forgot, this is WHUFC, where players take a few months to get used to the Premiership.

[Mad Ferret]

Rennes are in for Areola.

[El Scorchio]

Well we are either treating the guy fucking disgracefully if we're going to pull out after he's gone through all that with his club, or he's definitely on his way so that's at least one keeper coming. Will the lad from Leicester come in as well? That's now the question. I hope the Brazilian lad has been told, if that's the case. Be a bit shit for him if he thinks he's coming in to compete for the shirt if Hermanson comes in and he ends up riding the bench.

West Ham United’s move for John Victor has now reached the “goodbye” stage, at least according to Botafogo manager Davide Ancelotti, who admitted he’s already said his thanks to the departing goalkeeper.

Speaking to SporTV before Wednesday night’s Copa do Brasil clash against Red Bull Bragantino, Ancelotti confirmed that John’s situation was clear within the squad and that his absence from the matchday list was no surprise.“The situation with John was already clear to us yesterday,” the manager said. “I spoke to him and thanked him for everything he did for the club. His substitute is ready, and we’re happy to have him.”

Nelson Deossa another player we were linked with for about 15 minutes last week has found his way to Betis pretty sharpish...

Nessun Dorma.! Sign him up. Nothing reminds me more of West Ham than standing in the pissing rain. In the middle of Hyde Park. While some fat bloke is spilling his guts out near by.

Very Good! Although to be truly accurate I would amend it to...

Nothing reminds me more of West Ham than standing in the pissing rain. Opposite Upton Park Tube. Eating a tray of chips. While some fat bloke is spilling his guts outside the Queens pub.

Season long loan of Kaelen Casey to Swansea confirmed
Good move for a 20yo centre half to mature physically 
Believe Swansea have some injury problems so might be straight in away to Middlesbrough on Saturday 

Great move for the lad, toughen him up.

I find it interesting that the rat Carragher has stated that the fee wanted for Isak is too high and should be more realistic. I remember when we were selling Rice most of the Sky mob were trying to undermine the value we had put on him.
Almost seems as Newcastle are not welcome at the big 6 table.

[twoleftfeet]

Dibling to Everton.

We have Callum Wilson though.

Have a day off Barty son.
Might as  well invent a link to Pele, it’s about as likely.

[Barty888]

I made it up

But he would be a fantastic signing, clearly the most exciting player we have been linked with

Payet like

[Iron Duke]

To be fair, he didn’t say West Ham.

Sudakov in contract talks, fee agreed

Source?

It's clearly made up.
Looks like he's going to Napoli with just a 10second google.

That was indeed my thinking too!

You can tell Jordan, smug cսnt he is himself, has a special loathing for Sullivan and the way he does business. I am sure it’s shared by many other current and ex owners. 

[eusebiovic]

Correct Scorch. “The Sullivan Effect” is back and worse than ever. You do not run a football club this way and expect improvement or success over the long term.

And as this link suggests, many others in the game agree:

A damning indictment of Sullivans stewardship of the club but ultimately water off a duck's back thicker skin than a crocodile.

 

 

It's a very good watch and nothing that anybody who is a fan and has been paying full attention hasn't been saying for all these years. You also get Jim White on Talksport who still tries to defend the regime but even he can sense it's starting to wear thin. Credit to Simon Jordan who has always been consistent and has stated from day one that Sullivan has his own way of doing business and regularly hints/intimates that he will rigidly stick to it regardless of any other input. He calls the shots and doesn't like delegating responsibility to others. He has to tread very carefully though because he knows the tinpot dictator will sue anyone for libel if he sniffs the opportunity. It's pretty obvious if you can read between the lines. 

They definitely know...but every season it keeps the callers on the line...

[nychammer]

Both of them teams are part of the so-call Top Six. BOTH finished lower than us.! Sure an odd cup keeps the Barbarians from the gates. But neither of these clubs are getting their hands on a Premiership trophy any time soon.

Sure they both had bad seasons. Both clubs ownerships have made bad choices. They haven't fucked with their managers' plans though and have made a lot of funds available every time for a squad to be built the way the manager wanted it done. Both will likely finish ahead of us this season. Both have won more than we have in recent history. Both of them, I'd probably swap owners in a heartbeat.

No one coming to our rescue Scorch. Even if we dropped into the Championship. The fanbase would go back in droves. The only way we get rid of Sullivan is if the money disappears.

And if Sullivan falls off his perch we got Sullivan Jnr waiting in the wings who’s shaping up to be an even bigger cսnt if that’s possible. The only way we are shot of the Sullivan family is if someone offers what they deem the club to be worth, which is almost certainly more than the club is actually worth.

I know they aren't, but that's not what we were debating.
