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

Laying the groundwork for "it's not us it's him" 

[nychammer]

This stinks of Sullivan and how we run this club... 2 signings yesterday then this today, the timing is too convenient 

[dealcanvey]

Some rumours floating about that Paqueta downing tools tomorrow? 

 

How does that work? Does he kick the dressing room bench a couple of times before taking off his tool belt and placing a pot of nails down whilst sucking through his teeth shaking his head announcing to everyone "I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do it today Guv, sorry".

In the terms of an analogy. Mixing the two together. I don’t think that does work.

Big John looks like he's off to Forest.. 

It's the Dildo Brothers episode all over again. Who can blame Botafogo for fucking us off for fucking them and John over so badly dicking them about the way we did.

With Diaz gone don’t think Liverpool will let Elliot go
He will get enough games given how many they will play
We are on track for a 40 game season in contrast

Monday will all be about Isak to Liverpool 
We should be looking at another midfielder & at least one each of centre half & striker 
Dont go to bed

I’m still open to Harvey Elliot loan

Ain’t happening dude.

with your track record of being wrong i'm off to put a bet on it

Charlie Cresswell should be way ahead of Harwood-Bellis as the defender we should go for if Aguerd leaves

Should we have got Will Still when we had the chance?

if you are young, talented and have a management career ahead of you, the last thing you want is someone like Sullivan shitting all over it. If we were more like Sunderland who have a progressive owner then its a step you might take at his age. I'd actively discourage him from coming here until the time is right for him and us.

[Eerie Decent]

When was the last major ricket he made?

For my money, he looked our best defender last season under Potter, and in that game against Wolves he was better than the other 3 clowns.

The bar is low, though. Very, very fucking low.

[eusebiovic]

We need a commanding centre back who can head the ball and a proper striker for the first eleven aswell

We need to keep Paqueta and sign a Kudus replacement

Don't forget the two loan options! Hopefully we can use them well!

Mavropanos does the heading the ball part really well and he is quite the physical presence but the problem with him is that his physician Doctor Georgios Frankensteindoupoulos stitched his legs on backwards.

[Fauxstralian]

I guess with Tottenham signing the Dutch Xavi with the tiny head that ends any interest in Paqueta 
Villa may still come in by Monday 

[Mike Oxsaw]

Should we have got Will Still when we had the chance?

Doubt he has the experience to even work out how much shit we're in, let alone guide us out of it.
