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

Not necessarily the case about JWP.

Noble was club captain in his last year and did not feature much.

he cant start if we need to improve.

The thing with a lot of managers is that if they get on with someone and they do exactly what they are instructed to do then it’s looks mad to drop them. It makes you look like an idiot. And ego is huge in some of these managers. 

so I think we may feel that JWP isn’t great but Potter has made a rod for his own back. I will be surprised if JWP doesn’t start against Forest.  

I wouldn’t be surprised if none of the new signings start against Forest either. He is a man that would rather fall on his own sword.

[fraser]

Mugassa also plays at centre back... Paqueta is actually looking like our best centre forward at the moment too, but a very low bar

Can't say I ever remember him standing out, was part of a shocking relegation last season, before that a season with Estoril, a few Portugal U21 Caps, £42M seems steep. We sold Kudus for only £12M more than that.

 

We've done our usual thing of way overspending on the managers number 1 target.

I can't say I know too much about him, so I have no opinion on if I think it's going to work out or not (unlike the Kilman transfer).

 

They sold Dubling for £42 million, and their fans rate Fernandes as better. Hutchinson went from Ipswich to Forest for £37.5 million... So around par I would say this window... Unlike Kilman last window which was ridiculous

Seems like we are in for 3 mids at the moment. 
JWP is vice captain so he starts regardless 
unless Paq is off only 1 of these new CM’s is ever going to start for us. 
Are these signings enough to stop the rot?

I personally think it’s the system not the players that is the problem. Amorim is having the same issue with his insistence of a back 3. Both managers doing the same things and going nowhere in this league. And they seem to be both blaming their squads…
 

I'm in agreement, not just about the players, it's as much the system.

Looks like although we can't sell any of our first team players to buy a new midfield, we can sell a whole team of ladies to pay for it. Such a move by our owner seems appropriate didn't he make his first fortune by exploiting women?

Club confirms via Sky Sports News - 42m deal agreed for Fernandes.

 

yes! great fucking news

[Mad Ferret]

Exciting if true.

I'd love to see a midfield 3 of Potts ( just to piss Ferret off ) Fernandes and Magassa. That would be the youngest midfield ever.

I'd love to see Charlie Cresswell show up as well.

You were on about us only signing one player on loan only a few posts back.

Clueless cսnt.

That cant be true. Thunderclit said it was Brownhill and Brownhill only.

A journalist Mike Mcgrath is saying there's a medical booked for Fernandes 

 

 

Nothing to see here, that's Mr Fernandes 1 of the portakabin Cleaners at the Club having a Return to work after his recent heart attack in the staff canteen when discovering Sullivan was cutting back on overtime. 

[Takashi Miike]

A journalist Mike Mcgrath is saying there's a medical booked for Fernandes 

Have to say, the club are killing it with these signings.

someone please get rid of this cսnt

Steinburg claiming medical was done yesterday

If we got him and the lad from Monaco that would be astonishing business and would certainly put some legs into our midfield.

[twoleftfeet]

My prediction 

One loan player

2/3 players shipped out.

We tried.

I told you that a week ago you fucking clown.

Oh yeah I forgot you are an " in the know "

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

Looks a player but he’s only 21 which for
a striker, is about 12 years too young for us. 

[claypole]

I believe yesterday it was nearly 19hrs as a call to a board stooge went a bit longer than expected
