The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

[Lycan]

Football is so weird isn’t it?

How can any club or any scout have watched Guedes & gone “yep, I think there’s something we can work with there”.

Fucking PlayStation face. Hope they sign him, though.

Might be more to do with Mendes than the actual player tbf.

I don't know anything about the individual player (other than to question his morals for signing for that rabble in the first place)

You can't really blame him for wanting to sign for the biggest club in Scotland.

if he did then Parkhead is round the corner

Put this in here as it talks of transfers

It highlights the confused mess of our transfer policy

Hobbs working on bringing in David Brooks and a forward from Germany...he has gone and Vitor won't continue with those deals. So, if he didn't really want them from the off, why try and sign them. Can see why for every Joao Gomes there is a Carlos Forbs and Sam Johnstone.

David Brooks is a weird one, I don't see him fitting in under Vítor at all.

It'd be interesting to see who the Bundesliga striker was as well.

 

[Lycan]

“I know his agent well and he’s always asked if we’d be interested in Sam. This has been coming in some way or another for a while.”

Hobbs when we signed Johnstone.

That particular agent also represents David Brooks, Tommy Doyle, Rob Edwards, Troy Parrott, Jonathon Rowe, Michael Cooper, Tommy Conway, Ché Adams, Dara O'Shea, Harrison Reed & Ryan Giles...

Jesus!

That explains a lot!!

Brooks was decent about 5-6 years ago

 

[Lycan]

Massive guess but the 'forward from Germany' could've been either Karim Konaté at RB Leipzig or Bazoumana Touré at Hoffenheim as they're represented by the same group.

People concerned about the loss of high-level strategic planning might want to reflect on that quote.

Doyle to Blues rumours gathering pace.

Would be a good signing for them i think.

And for us? Tham loaded aye they?

Maybe a nice bidding war with team deadpool.

 

[Lycan]

If Fulham managed to convince them to pay £15M for that lump of lard they have up front then we should be able to take them to the cleaners.

They can't afford what Blues are offering apparently.

Blues are going to blow everyone out of the water in the Champ with the wages they are chucking around.

Quite intrigued by the Phillips article suggesting that Vitor has a very clear idea as to the wing backs he wants for either side.
Vitors comments (not just in this article) suggest he too is looking at the kind of signings that several people are suggesting are a requirement.
Only concern is the inference that the outgoing business has been done. Pretty sure the majority of us are hoping to see a few other departures.

It's a bit odd, Vitor clearly doesn't rate Hwang, Guedes etc so they'll get hardly any game time. Maybe the deals have already been struck but not announced yet?

I think that means no more key players. Given the choice Vitor would have liked Cunha, RAN and Semedo to be in his squad.

The rest that leave will be because Vitor doesnt want them.
