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

[fraser]

Yeah I read this bloke is in the bottom one percent in heading stats... Just what we needed.. Should have let him weaken Palace 

[honky cat]

He played in their efl cup game v oxford, but has barely played this year because of injury.
Another Evan, recuperating with the hammers.

[Sir Alf]

Yep saw some Podcast on YouTube that quoted a Brighton fan saying Igor was slow and not very good in the air. A Sullivan pick based on his availability and moreover price ( cheap loan) rather than paying £17 mill that Toulouse wanted for Cresswell? Of course it was.

[Eerie Decent]

Not finding a lot to be positive about with this Igor geezer. Apparently absolutely abysmal in the air, our biggest weakness at the back. Got disaster written all over it.

After the result yesterday, we have now deflated it by signing a bloke that can't head the ball. This fucking club.

[Massive Attack]

Another half injured fat cսnt from brighton.

Fat?

 

 

 

Proper fat fucker

[Ironside]

Aguerd gone to Marseille for £20m. For once a decent sale price achieved by the midget c@nt.

[Mad Ferret]

Iheanacho released by Sevilla. Would be a useful addition as a free agent.

[honky cat]

Another half injured fat cսnt from brighton.

Fat?

 

 

 

[Alfs]

Said to someone today I expect we will announce a new striker from the ranks of the free agents in the next couple of days.
M Antonio
Anyone seen him play?

 I haven't, but I've seen him drive.

[Massive Attack]

Another half injured fat cսnt from brighton.

Fat?

[Mad Ferret]

So Aguerd didn’t even end up leaving?

So we have 5 CBs now.

[Sir Alf]

As Stubbo says we dont know. Sullivan might be positioning us financially to withstand future PSR and / or cash flow impacts. The whole “ prudent” accounting principle. 

Trouble is Sullivan is not trustworthy or honest or transparent in any way. Never has been. I suppose you can level that at many football club owners and/or CEOs.  Sullivan to admit he was doing the prudent thing is an admission that he’s esssenttialy mismanaged the club especially in terms of recruitment ( a horrendous failure ) after making promises of success, world class team, stadium to get us to move to the OS.   

Sullivan and the board’s interest is financial. Football success would be welcome but its all about asset value for them all to eventually turn a nice profit. The UP sale was always the plan and added to personal wealth.

We have dreadful owners which we have always known.

West Ham United sign Igor Julio on loan



West Ham United is pleased to announce the signing of Brazilian defender Igor Julio on a season-long loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 27-year-old centre-back brings strength, composure and impressive passing ability to East London, adding depth and quality to Head Coach Graham Potter’s squad.

With over 200 senior appearances across top leagues in England, Italy and Austria - and European experience with both Fiorentina and Brighton - Igor will provide both quality and competition.

“I am really happy to be here at West Ham United,” said Igor. “It is a big Club, a historic Club, with fantastic support and a special identity. I saw this in Prague during the Europa Conference League final two years ago, and I feel very proud to now be representing the colours.

“The project here is very exciting - there are many good players at the Club and I know that there is a very positive environment in the dressing room that it will be great to be a part of.

“I am ready for the challenge and looking forward to giving everything I can to help the team and the Club.”

There's an element of me that thinks he's positioning for the PSR or squad cost ratio stuff that will affect us end of this season when either the regulations change, or the Rice sale falls off the books. 

Both could be quite significant, and none of us really know the position for that. I want him gone as much as the next guy, but the focus on wage reduction is quite likely with that in mind.

Time will tell if it was smart or not.

 

someone tell me how top 6 don't seem to have an concerns when it comes to PSR. Their spending has been obscene. 

Because their non-transfer revenues dwarf the rest of us.

Plus through prestige they now have this model where they sign a load of players, don't play them, then flog them for more a year or two later because of who they were with.

Igor finally announced. We can go to bed now.

[Massive Attack]

Igor reportedly turns with the speed of the Titanic. Brighton’s 5th choice CB.

Palace muat have been desperate to get any CB in too. But we nabbed this bloke from them. The cheapest option versus Cresswell and geezer from Chelsea. Sullivan squad filler. Spent £90 million and got £70 in apparently? Good window for a net £20 million spend but nowhere near what we need. 

No one really has sight of the West Ham books and what is being spent in cash terms ( amortisation of transfers etc  ) the loan interest payments, transfer fee instalments out etc etc. We get to see published accounts far later after the accountants have closed them, summarised them and include inter company transfers etc. We know that recruitment has been nothing short of horrendous over the 15 years of Sullivan’s tenure / ownership. Everything has been financed via borrowing against future revenues. Like someone who maxes out credit cards, gets a new card to pay off existing ones and debts grow etc. 

If Sullivan is spending as little as possible to keep us in the Prem Lge and cutting wages etc to make us more attractive to potential buyers it would be ok but he’s not is he. And the other board members and shareholders are culpable, for allowing Sullivan and Brady to make such a mess. They obviously have zero long term interest in West Ham being a more successful football team. Its just about the financials, an investment, an asset in their portfolios nothing else. They are all parasites clinging on in hope of turning a profit at some point. 

A few injuries and we are in trouble.

That is the main focus of all. We can never take our eye off the ball with regards to that.

Seems the players who didn't throw their toys are the ones that didn't move... Be a lot more of it in the future.

Looks like the highlight of the day is screwing up the bin dippers signing of Guehi.

Problem is it also strengthens Palace in the process instead of weakening them by Guehi remaining like he did the last time it looked like he might go Newcastle before the breaks were put on that.

[Fauxstralian]

Said to someone today I expect we will announce a new striker from the ranks of the free agents in the next couple of days.
M Antonio
Anyone seen him play?

[Massive Attack]

According to the salary estimates of Capology, we've reduced our annual salary budget by about 25%....shaving pretty much £25m off the annual salary budget.

 

I couldn't be happier for Sullivans coffers.

[Keep dreaming]

I hope the protests coming up gather a big turnout.
Sullivans's tenure has to be stopped. A club our size need a better squad than we are ending up with year in and year out under this charlatan cսnt.

Depressing stuff and disappointment this summer too
