Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

Post 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.

Glad we got a centre back in but is Igor any better than Aguerd?  Typical Sullivan get a fee for Aguerd and lose Emerson's wage and we only get shit loans in. 

Think we are still a striker/winger player short of being able to go hard till January. Don't see Fullkrug/Wilson being available for most the games at the same time so we are short up top. 

Glad to see Earthy and Potts staying, hoping they can get some minutes and compete. 

Amazed we haven't shifted Rodriguez and one of JWP/Soucek. What a waste of a squad space.

The two free agents we brought in have done better than I expected them to do, Diouf is a definite upgrade at LB, Fernandez looks settled already and Hermansen was put into the team too soon in a position where every fuck up counts to tell whether he’s our nailed on keeper, but hopefully. Generally pretty pleased with the window but again it feels like Sullivan has just done what he feels is just enough and not addressed the obvious young striker position. Pleased that he tripped himself up with regards Paqueta “trying to force a move” bollocks.
Once again, Sullivans report will state could do better if he only concentrated on more than his wank bank.

I would think the most likely reason Igor Julio didn’t go to Palace is that Glasner would have walked if they’d sold Guehi and Eze in the same transfer window.

Looking at the underlying stats he wins 50-60% of aerial fuels across his career. Basically the same as Aguerd and a little better than Todibo. 

Gotta love the bloke....was the player that let Bowen score the goal for the conference win instead of hacking him down.

He's a close match up to replace Aguerd in the left side, on the cheap. Cresswell also has notable downsides (is pretty damn slow, poor passing, poor tackling and would be a third right-footer with just Kilman as a left footer).

Not going to pull up any trees, but 4th choice CB, gives Paqueta an Emerson replacement Brazilian fwend...not a disaster.

Transfer window is a Mixed bag for me

Keeper looks suspect
No young center forward
No dominant Center half (should be our priority)

Saying that we did

Shift some dead wood
Sign Diouf who is mustard
Address our midfield
Sign Fernanades who looks like a player
Upgrade the center forward position with Wilson
And steal KWP who is a good utility player.

So the squad has definitely improved a lot.

I’ll give it a 7/10….. Would have been an 8 if we had addressed the Center half properly.

Looking forward to watching us play again, which is nice, it’s been a while.

The cost of Sullivan’s insistence on appointing Loppy is still hanging around our neck like a huge turd in the form of Kilman and Guido.  A classic example of “Creating the storm then complaining when it rains”.  Sullivan’s feeling a bit better tonight though after not being able to sell Paqueta, he got £19 million for Aguerd at the death, so the wage bill now down £25 million a year in total. He will claim credit for basically making the cost cuts to help correct his failed appointment of Loppy. £40 million for Kilman on a 7 year deal. The genius of David Sullivan.

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.

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.

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.
