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

Guys, the medical has been failed.

I'm not sure how many more times I need to parrot that.

Unless you have a direct source, not convinced by this.  He had to redo an aspect of the medical owing to a technical issue with the medical (maybe someone forgot to turn on a machine or hit record or some such).  Was meant to be a formality.

Unless you're not referring to that, or there was then a subsequent failure off the back of it?!

Mainoo on loan instead of a permanent for Mugassa, no thanks. Let's not pay a premium to help Man U out... Frankfurt are pretty good at talent spotting 

How is getting Mainoo on loan paying a premium to help Man Utd out? 

 

So it’s better to pay £5m to develop a player Man United have no intention of selling, rather than pay £14m to develop a France U21 midfielder who will sign a six year deal with us? Odd logic. 

In the next breath you’ll probably accuse the club of not being forward thinking. 

Unless you think Fernandes is shit then it's... 

Because young promising CM's are scattered all over Europe. You just have to go and find them like the Brighton's., Chelsea's, Wolves and Bournemouths do. To suggest he is the ONLY one providing any value right now at £42M is pretty mental.

Rossknowsfuckall has had an absolute MARE this morning.

Taken to the cleaners by fraser.

[fraser]

How is getting Mainoo on loan paying a premium to help Man Utd out? 

Because they would hit us with a massive loan fee and they don't want to sell him, so we would pay that have no player at the end and be giving him game time.. Or alternatively we could buy a good young player and develop him and make a profit 

He wants to go on loan, if the fee is him for a season for £5m or this Monaco bloke for £20m i know what i am choosing. 

Mainoo was terrific when he burst onto the scene, talks of going Chelsea for £60m.  Man Utd is a toxic place, Rashford, Anthony both had big uptakes in form going out on loan.  

Not wanting Mainoo for a year to keep us up over Monaco's third/fourth choice CM is bonkers. 

 

 

Oh ffs so on one thread you don't want to buy a player from a shit team and think we should buy a young European player for around the same amount as Magassa (it's not £20 million) on this thread you want to loan a player that will cost £5 million that couldn't get in a worse team than ours last season 

But in the other thread you're saying there are loads of players in Europe that we could buy for a similar fee and turn a profit... But you'd rather be £5 million down and helping Man U than owning our own asset who will make a profit because as you said there are loads out there. 

You're all over the show son

So fernandes is in, how fucking long is that Monaco fella's medical?

 

Ag ag ag!

He must have a serious list of problems. Hope he's got at least one working leg, as we need him next week!

[Eerie Decent]

Funniest transfer rumour i think I've ever seen.

Sunderland submit transfer bid for £30m West Ham talent, Black Cats 'pushing' for deal - reports

Sunderland have been credited with an interest in West Ham defender Nayef Aguerd

Sunderland have submitted an official bid for West Ham centre-back Nayef Aguerd, according to reports.

The Black Cats are understood to be in the market for defensive reinforcements between now and Monday’s transfer deadline, with Bologna star Jhon Lucumí one talent to have been frequently linked in recent days.

But it would appear that the Premier League new boys are keeping other options open too, and as per a fresh update from Foot Mercato reporter Santi Aouna, they are currently pushing to get a deal for Aguerd over the line.

What has been said about Sunderland’s transfer interest in Nayef Aguerd?

According to Aouna, Sunderland are facing competition for the Moroccan international’s signature from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille, but are nevertheless continuing with plans to prise him away from West Ham.

Writing on X, Aouna said: “L'OM has accelerated in recent hours on Nayef Aguerd. Discussions ongoing with West Ham His possible arrival at L'OM is independent of that of Joël Ordoñez. In parallel, Sunderland is pushing and has officially submitted an offer to West Ham for the Moroccan.” For context, Ordoñez is a defender, currently on the books at Belgian side Club Brugge, who Marseille have also been heavily linked with in recent days.

For his part, Aguerd has featured prominently for West Ham so far this season, starting both of their Premier League fixtures to date, and playing 70 minutes of a midweek Carabao Cup clash with Wolves. In total, the 29-year-old has amassed 61 appearances for the Hammers since initially signing from Stade Rennais for around £30 million back in 2022.

More recently, he spent last season out on loan in La Liga with Real Sociedad, registering 36 outings during his time in Spain. At the time of writing, he also has 55 senior international caps to his name.

Seems Eintracht Frankfurt made a second attempt to hijack the move
All the reaction appears to be that that has failed & the race is to get him signed by midday if we want him to be involved on Sunday

Failed medical.

Hopefully being fucked off in favour of Mainoo on loan 



I suspect Sullivan trying to change the deal with Monaco last minute knowing him

Fernandes done

Rossel, I don't think fans do not see what Paquet brings, but we support want him to get back to what he was and believe he can do that. It is not normal that a player has to live 2 years with that nonsense and then crys in public after a yellow card. We need a Paqueta playing well and we can give him the support to do that.

But thats my point, back to his best ..... is it even that good? 

Since he joined in the Premier League he has more yellow cards than goals + assists combined.  

Every season he has scored 4 goals, alot of them pens aswell. 

I watch with my eyes and the amount of times he gives the ball away or dives to get a free kick. His attempt at creativity seems to be scooping or chipping the ball up usually over everyone and through to their GK. 

He needs a big season because at the minute I think our major problem going forward is creativity through the middle of the park.

I agree there has to be more money avaiable then we appear to have. However, read Alans Thursday news carefully, the womens team is valued at 55M and some USA group want to buy a 49% share so they would pay about 27M income, assuming the money goes to the club and not the present owners and you know who that cսnt is.

I have to disagree with aiming for expensive proven premier league players. They wont come and we cannot buy enough at the prices they would cost. It has to be lots of young raw tallent and build for the future. Most of all first step should be a director of football who can implement and execute a plan to get us callenging the top of the table. With our support and resources it really should not bs anything lower.

Lastly congratulations to Stubbo and team! I really feel WHO is a much better place, the abuse is less and the discussion is better. Number of posters I think hasn't changed much, but some right stupid cunts have fucked off and some others have reacted with less abuse and more posituve interactions. I like it.

 

 

Nothing like a red rag to a bull....but thanks. SWT

Xavi Simons to Spurs for £50 mill so I guess thats final confirmation paq not going anywhere

Sp*rs sign Xavi Simons for £60m.

What a signing btw, and typical that they’d push on after winning the Europa last year, whereas we went backwards after winning the Conference.

Already posted mate

They are so far ahead of us, it's laughable.

[stubbo-admin]

Alvarez must be over the moon this morning. Mourinho convinces him to go to Fener....and them promptly leaves.
