The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

At the start of the window I think most of us would have been happy with 6 new signings - including 5 full internationals and a Spanish 21 year old with a great future. Selling Fab and Guedes should have been the icing on the cake.

We have replaced RAN, Cunha, Sarabia, and Semedo, plus have a second striker and a commanding central defender who can also play defensive midfield.

So in that respect the window has been a success, and should be 8/10 or even 9/10, but right now it obviously isn't.
Neither wing back seems any better than 'meh' (being generous), Arias seems lost, Lopez has only managed a few minutes, and the other two haven't played yet.

The new signings are not to blame for overall fitness issues, Agbadou and Andre not playing well, VP maybe not being as good as we hoped, for us losing our first three games, or for all 3 promoted teams having a decent start.

Feasibly it could still prove to be a decent transfer window - if Tolu and Krejci hit the ground running and the others blend in better. But very few expect all that to happen and I am not about to argue. I don't expect much from Tolu (a marginal upgrade on Munetsi), Arias probably needs a break after playing for 12 months, and there is a good chance that one or both wing back will never be prem level. Just as important as who we bought is who we didn't buy - central midfield being the obvious problem.

So, could be 8/10, could be 4/10, time will tell.

Loaned to their B team but will train with their first team and they have an option to buy as well.

From the small samples we saw of him I really did think he’d eventually have enough to make it here. No idea why we’ve given them an option to buy.

No option to buy

See that makes sense. Regular football, trains with their first team, lives somewhere where he can speak his own language.

Good post.

It would have been a good window if we had got Uche, but don't think he ever wanted to come here. Its a mark of how we are perceived these days.

If Viktor had got these players in weeks before the window, he would have had chance to mould them together, as it is we feel doomed before we even start. The new players are literally thrown in at the deep end.

I hope the players are given support because anything else would be counterproductive. I understand totally the feeling towards the owners, but even now I can't help but reflect on the ownership we have had in the past. Maybe I am just too deeply scarred to be be subjective.
