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

"Everyone involved in recruitment are working 18 hour days"

This sounds like Macaulay had a sleepover at the Sullivan Mansion. Who else is in this 'team'?

[Barty888]

He is a striker with 30 goals in 60 matches for FC Midtjylland

What goes around, comes around, Sullivan.

The Football World never forgets how you treated others, so it's only fair we get the same treatment because of your shocking 2bob dealings.

From the recent humiliation of the Brazilian Keeper and Botofogo getting pissed around who you are now begging for out of sheer panic, all the way back to Sporting Lisbon being mugged off as just a Dildo Owner with regards to Carvalho.

You reap what you sow, cսnt. All of your own doing.  

Massive - yes... below is an observation that I made earlier in this particular thread

Good luck to Magassa we certainly need him to provide something exciting that our midfield currently lacks. I see we're in for Sangare at Forest who we were constantly linked with when he was at PSV. I think he caught Malaria on international duty last November which is why it took a while to recover and establish himself under Nuno.

 

I've had a look at Transfermarkt and both players don't seem to be attached to a representing agency on their profiles. Maybe Sullivan thinks he is such a master at closing the deal he can double cross relatives or lawyers who represent these lads? 

 

Have we reached the stage where our owner has burnt his bridges so often over the years that aside from Salthouse nobody else really enjoys doing business with him anymore? 

 

The mind boggles but it's possible eh?

Its very plausible, and i really hope its true. That would make his tenure unbearable 

[BillyJenningsBoots]

Work smarter not harder. If theyd put the time in early and identified the players we needed we wouldnt be in this fucking mess!

Frankfurt are pretty good at player recruitment, hopefully if he does sign for us and they were interested it's a good sign.

[Keep dreaming]

I would say they have worked 18h in total in that department 

[twoleftfeet]

Oxlade-Chamberlain's available.

Ticks all Sullivan's boxes and then some.

I saw that. Guaranteed to come to us, ticks all the boxes -

Shit
Old
injury prone
Slow
Only coming back to be near Westfields

That’s true

Danny Ings joins Sheffield United on a one year deal

This is the mark of how shit our squad and club is. Even wolves are selling players for 30-50 million to decent clubs. Aside from one, we can’t even shift anyone and those who have left have gone to lower league clubs or nowhere.

Eintracht Frankfurt look to hijack West Ham’s move for Soungoutou Magassa

Soungoutou Magassa’s (21) move to West Ham United looked to be only a matter of time. The Hammers already had a deal in place with AS Monaco, with whom they had agreed on a €20m fee, including bonuses.

The France youth international had also given the green light to the deal, even agreeing to a six-year deal. Magassa has also already completed his medical to become a West Ham player. All that was lacking was the officialisation of the midfielder’s move to the London club.

However, there is now a chance of the deal falling through at the 11th hour. As per a report from Foot Mercato, Eintracht Frankfurt have made a late approach to sign the Monaco midfielder on a loan deal, with the obligation to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.

The Bundesliga side are now pushing for Magassa to join them over West Ham. The player himself is very tempted by the possibility of joining the German club, Foot Mercato understands.

I'd love to say I'm shocked but I'm not.

[Eerie Decent]

No centre backs coming in, by the looks of it.

Who's going to start the 'Team for the Championship next season' thread?

[nychammer]

Fucking disgrace. Like watching a Train wreck in slow motion. I’m not sure anyone we sign now will make any difference to the highly likely outcome of this season, we may as well just admit defeat and plan for next season

(oh year forgot, we don’t do planning ahead)

[fraser]

Should have just signed Big John in the first place or is he now Jilted John

[stubbo-admin]

Ex reporting:

1. We are back in for Big Johnny V...loan with an obligation
2. We are in the hunt for several midfielders
3. We're looking at a forward/striker too

Looks like Sullivan is in full panic mode.  At least it might make us a bit more attractive for when Potter finally gets the tin-tack.

[boleyn8420]

It wouldn't matter if the loan deal for Sangarre went through now or not as he couldn't play against his parent club on Saturday anyway.

As well as midfield we really do need at least one decent centre back. As my Doris, beautiful and smart she may be, but knows the square root of fuck all about football, said last night, as she watched the Wolves winner go in "That's odd, both those centre defender blokes didn't jump at all and are looking at the goal instead of the ball" I went to say get back to yer knitting love, but unfortunately she was right. Worst defending i've ever seen at West Ham and that's a low bar to beat. We need a new manager and 5 signings. We wont get them though, FFS

[Sydney_Iron]

I would like to think the rumour we are in again for that Brazilian keeper is a wind up or piss take? But it also wouldn’t surprise me

That would give us what, 4 bang average keepers and bang average is being kind to the current 1&2….,

Next Level

Struggle to even get Brownhill over the line..


 Saudi offerJosh Brownhill is a target for Saudi Pro League side Al Shabab, talkSPORT understands.

The midfielder is currently considering an offer from the club.However, it is not believed to be as high as the £100,000-a-week wages that have been suggested.

The 29-year-old is a free agent after leaving Burnley at the end of last season.He has since held talks with clubs from the Premier League, with relegated trio Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich also showing an interest.

[stubbo-admin]

Would Forest hold up the Sangare deal so that he can’t play on Sunday or are they just desperate to get him off their books?

If he's on loan he'll be ineligible anyway

[stubbo-admin]

This is the lad we should be going for:
