The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

And a neck to rival Maerhoffer by the looks

 

[Tredman]

What about Mosquera?

You could ask VP the same.

 

[Kenny]

Obviously can't tell everything from these videos (World Class Ki-Jana Hoever...) but you can definitely tell that he's got ability going forwards here.

Consider me excited...

Would presume taking it very easy with him right now.

Season will be underway before we see him properly

 

[Carsy]

Yeah, it's so bad. I'm not sure how anyone can think things are fine because Vitor's mate is the new Hobbs.


Based on the team at end of 24/25:

Sa - ideally want a replacement but gk situation is a joke

Toti - first XI
Agbadou - first XI
Doherty - GOAT (kidding, needs replacing)

RAN - needs replacing (H.Bueno?)
Semedo - needs replacing
Gomes - first XI
Andre - first XI

Cunha - replaced in front 3 with Arias
Munetsi - an out of position mid, ideally replaced with a first team winger
JSL - first XI

Johnston/Bentley - see Sa
Sarabia - needs replacing, in minutes by Bellegarde/R.Gomes, spot by Fer Lopez?
S.Bueno - need a better CB for cover
Mosquera - need him to be fit just to have cover
Bellegarde - squadie
Guedes - still here, absolutely needs replacing (R.Gomes?)
Hwang - still here, needs replacing (ST)
Doyle - needs replacing (CM)
Lima - backup FB (replaced on bench by Hugo if they get another starting LB)

I don't think we had such a small squad even in the Nuno era, and this is no where near that quality.

We’ll be counting hoever, Sasa and Fabio as new signings

Looks a big owd lad

He’s better than Zubar then anyway

 

[thisisgil]

Looks like we've got our other winger sorted

Do you reckon Pubill will be good enough to go straight into the starting 11 @Lycan? Always a gamble at that age, but seems like it will be quite a leap in quality compared to where he’s been playing?

He's made 100+ appearances in La Liga and Segunda and looked really good for Spain U21 this summer. From what Vítor has said about which kind of player he wants it'll be Rodrigo & Pubill competing on the right and then Bueno competing with a new signing on the left.

 

[slink]

Pubill - my only concern is that he sounds more like a right back who can play centre back. Which would suit being in the back three more under Vitor? Would need a good attacking threat on opposite side (Lino?). From small bits I saw he looks like a strong lad though.

Pubill looks like he may be able to do a bit of everything. Looks good at beating a press but able to drop into a back 4 in possession if needed. Lwb looks an issue, really not sold on Bueno and would be worried about Lino with him definitely being more of an offensive player and being right footed. His left foot is fine but he does and would favour coming inside a lot and not sure how that works with what Vitor wants, he’s been very vocal on Toti and his competition for that place being left footed so would think that goes for the Lwb too.

That sounds reasonable to me (if it happens)

Why are we offering sell on clauses when our model is selling on good players every season as soon as they get on a big clubs radar?

Duh, so we can sell him for £31m and have a nice belly rub!

 

[prawnking]

Can't wait to get another stepping-stone badge kisser on the team

Very few deals get done without selling on clauses. Might only be 5% of any profit, we don't know. It looks like a fairly cheap deal to me.

Less initial risk, at the expense of less financial benefit long term if he’s very good.

 

[Tredman]

Pereira and Wolves want motivated players who do not view the club as a quick stepping stone. Perhaps that has been an issue in the past.
