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

Paqueta is a showboating liability, gives up way too much possession putting us on the back foot way too often. Saying that we can’t sell now it’s too late. I’d prefer we sell in January preferably to a Saudi club,and sell him for a fair price and bring in  the right replacement straight away. String Villa along though so they end up with nobody this window, payback for the Jhon Duran fiasco.

I’m more concerned with our center halves, the only one who can head the ball is Mavropanos ffs and he’s got two left feet. I’d much rather see us sell Aguerd and bring in a replacement this window.  Todibo was a bad buy, not sure what his position is but he ain’t a center half. There must be at least one in the Championship we can bring in as an upgrade to Aguerd and who can win a header or two to help our new keeper out surely.

Looks Like we dropped a bollock on the new goalkeeper He Looks like he shits himself every time a cross comes in to our box. 

Anyone know how much longer Summerville is out for? And how about Cornet can’t we give him away ffs just get him off our books.

So many fires to put out and still no one who can step in and step up to lead the team, Let’s hope these two kids we just brought in can do an immediate job for us in midfield, can’t fall too far behind the rest.

Still onwards and upwards!

Last update from Ex last night:

We have finally heard from the top source at the club regarding Paqueta and it is a bit of mixed news. I am going to put it out with very little comment because I don’t really know how to take it.

“He will NOT be sold this window even though he wants to leave”.

[Ron Eff]

Away from Paqueta, how on earth are we only receiving €700k plus maybe another €300k on add on’s for Emerson?

How can we do such bad business all the time. He has been a good signing for us, is 31, you must still be able to get a few million quid! There is surely league two players going for more at the same age. 

[Come On You Irons]

Sullivan MO in full mode here.

1. Haggle over players and put in low ball bids for weeks until the last week, to "save" on wages.

2. Panic after an awful start to the season caused by point 1 and not addressing the squad deficiencies in pre-season.

3. Finally open dusty old wallet and splash out on a couple of much needed players.

The last part of his MO is to pull a last minute sale, loan out,  release or two just as the transfer window shuts.

So expect to see Emerson, Cornet, Irving and Rodriguez to go. And it wouldn't be surprising if Paqueta is sold just as the window closes. Nothing is beyond expectations with this odious little squirt.

This is all so laughably predictable. After 15 years of seeing Sullivan's MO I called this shit days ago. Paqueta is bound to be sold with no time to replace.

[Pi Alpha Nu]

Fucking hate all this transfer window shit. Can't they just go back to meeting at a Motorway service station with a brown envelope full of readies then the next day we would hear that we've signed so and so.

[fraser]

The problem we have is that we see what happens when Paqueta doesn't get his move, and that is he rarely puts in a decent performance for two seasons. So, if that happens again this season we'll end having to carry him, with a weaker team than before.

That's exactly what they'll want you to think.. 

Meanwhile Emerson signs for OM €1 million.. Including add ons.. Sold by Dr. Evil

 

No one is making me think that, we've all seen how he's performed since he missed out on his move to Man City.

I've never seen him stop putting the effort in so no, if he'd been lazy yes but he hasn't... He's the player with our most ball recoveries and you can't do that without putting effort in. Off form yes but you don't put effort in if you're sulking 

[cheesebgt]

When exactly does the window shut? At midnight tomorrow?

7pm Monday (I think)

Fucking sick of all this circus shit.

I don't think many would disagree with that.. 

The ex message just sounds like more teeing up, more noise... With the added 'no time to replace him' 

Surely he goes, surely for less than we've said we wanted and surely without replacing 

[Massive Attack]

Someone's Agent is feeding the troll though. Sulleys Salthouse, Paquetas, Aguerds, someone's giving him shit to say.

[stubbo-admin]

Fucking sick of all this circus shit.

Romano is basically a rent-a-post influencer these days. Gets paid a fortune to tweet shit and is all now just part of the tapping up procession.

Paqueta Update7mWe are trying to get clarity from a number of sources to give you the accurate picture of what is actually going on with Paqueta. At the moment we have only spoken to two West Ham sources and they deny that they have accepted a bid and are quite annoyed with the reporting of such a thing from Fabrizio Romano. The club are denying that they wish to sell the player and have always maintained if they did it would be for no less than £60m (I guess the overall loan package could be around £60m) all in and that replacements would need to be lined up, which I don’t believe they are. Whether Paqueta wants the deal or not is unclear and I guess this could be the deciding factor.  As it stands I don’t think a bid has been accepted and as far as I know he will still be available for the game tomorrow.  Things can change dramatically in football so we will keep you updated.

Our next step will probably be 

Lucas it's an attractive proposition for you but we can't let you go because they're not offering enough put in a request and we can make this happen

Just seen the below, paving the way for we really wanted him to stay but you can't keep a player... Blah. Blah.. 

Kudus put in a request apparently but after we admitted we wanted to sell, why would he put in a request then... 

I agree regarding the Board which is why I said I don't trust them either. Paqueta and Aguerd wanting to bail out are convenient excuses for them to still sell them. 

Shambles of a Club.  

Yet he's travelled and hasn't agitated.... We don't want to sell... They have no money... Yet here we are.. I'm not saying if offered the move he wouldn't want to go.. Who could blame him, but I doubt very much he's seekef it out... It would just be a simple no from us, but all this noise is setting a pathway to his exit... It's so fucking obvious... He's going cheap, we're not allowing it, we don't want it... But he's pushing.. It's all bollocks,.. Kudus was similar... He wasn't wanted..

Can you imagine the kind of nonsense Bowen has had to put up with as Captain surrounded by so many gutless wankers in the Squad as he has to keep firefighting and wiping their arses all the time in the side...

We are so blessed we have him. Not once has agitated for a move and he's the one that really deserves it the most.

[fraser]

fuck knows what is actually going on 

It's very clear Paqueta wants out. Proper cսnt after backing him whilst we sit bottom of the table. Potter don't deserve that nonsense to be fair to him, a pair of self serving shitcunts demanding to leave. 

Really... Not to most it isn't, I love how everyone thinks Sullivan is a massive cսnt till it suits them. If we don't want to sell him and Villa have no money we would just nip it in the bud straight away.... There would be an official announcement stating he's not for sell... Then it would be up to him to stay or play up.. None of that has happened, we want to sell him... 

[El Scorchio]

Aston Villa have their own PSR problems hence why they want to loan Lucas Paqueta for a season then pay a fee next summer over a number of years. Combined fee well under our valuation. Villa and agents playing games and trying to turn the players head but he has travelled to Nottingham. West Ham insist they have no interest in selling Paqueta at this late stage and will do everything they can to resist the latest challenge


If he does go it isn't because he asked to, we're really trying.. Honest..

Lucas Villa want to talk to you are you interested? 

 

 

We are just bending over for anyone who clicks their fingers. It’s pathetic. Seems like we’re actively pushing players out of the door so much we’re offering unbelievably favourable terms and costing ourselves millions. Kudus, Alvarez, now Paqueta. 

Sullivan wants his piece of silver to pay his debts. ‘Saving us’ with new signings my arse. He’s not spending, just spinning. He’s probably going to end up  net saving money this summer.
