The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Strand Larsen had a better first season than Raul.

More league goals in fewer appearances including no penalties in a far worse team with Gary O'Neil as manager for half of it.

Almost the definition of going under the radar. I think a similar season next season with us and he'll be off too

If Agba, JSL and indeed Arias aren't good enough then we are completely fucked.

 

[Del Woppio]

I'm not saying they're shite, like. But I just don't completely trust them to not have a fair run of games where there's a fair few goal causing errors/long run without a goal.

Fair point that comparing them to Boly/Raul is unfair. And probably unhealthy

I just can't consider that those 3 might have a run of poor performances, it's too scarey, they're next on the team sheet after Gomes and Andre, the spine of the team.

Don't be silly, mate. We have Santi Bueno, Bellegarde, Munetsi*, Hwang & Sasa waiting in the wings!

*until he goes to the ACON

Which i read is earlier this year?

Tiny part of me wonders why they have released this today.

But there will be no reason.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Cunha, Semedo and RAN are "just" 3 players.

But they were 3 hugely important players.

Probably because he’s about to announce his next club?

Good point!

It couldn't be because we are about to announce a replacement

What a weird message.

Doesn’t actually say he’s leaving or he’s left.

“Transparent”? Jog on.

I will miss you kind of says he has left.

Unless he is talking about wingers sneaking in at the far post

He's obviously been gone a while so no need for recriminations or to drag things out, but "I've always been transparent with them (the club?) cause I really want us to be on the level we must be"?

Wtf does that mean (appreciating English not his first language)?

 

[AndyWolves]

I guess he wanted more than we were offering and someone else has now given him what he wants.

It happens so no hard feelings from me.

I hope the club release a video today of Nelson slowly morphing into Coufal

He wants us to do well, and get to the level we should be at.

It's vacuous platitudes that all footballers roll out when they leave (except for Ruben obviously)

 

[sycophantia]

I enjoyed watching him, he ran his contract down, he's moving on, no recriminations from me on his last few weeks. We need to sign a replacement.
