Summer 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Rigadon]

We were the best side in the league for the final 3rd of the season. We don't need to do loads.

Yep. Replacement loan / signing for 'the Rashford' role and a right sided, defensive beast of a centre half and we'd be up there again.

We don’t, but that included a fairly sizeable impact by Asensio and Rashford. Filling the gap left by them is not easy, or cheap.

And we will have more games. I think minimum we need Bailey, Rashford and Asensio replacement options in forward areas. At the moment we have Ramsey, Watkins, Rogers, Malen. That's neither got enough pace, or variety, and can't be expected to play Thursday Sunday till Christmas. I don't expect players on the same level as the ones gone, and would be more than happy with a couple of them being young players with potential that could give us options and variety.

I think Asensio made Rogers suffer a bit come the end.

I think we need 2 in attacking areas, a right winger if Bailey goes, and a forward.

[cdbearsfan]

We need pace and loads of it. We can break anyone down at home, but if teams put us under pressure away from home they know that we have no outlet and they can swamp us, hence our dreadful away record against the top clubs last season. We might well have won the European Cup last season if we had some pace on the break to worry PSG at their ground.

Maybe, but it’s more about quality options. An absolutely essential part of what we did in the second half of the season was being able to bring on a replacement high quality group of forward players when needed.

If we don’t have that, we won’t win anywhere near the number of games.

And a right winger if Bailey doesn't go.

[dr.chekov]

Ha.

[Steve67]

As it stands, the squad is light, we defo need at least another couple of attacking players.  I'd be happy with Garnacho and Grealish on loan. 

[eamonn]

Fuck it, may as well go all in for Gakpo and Gallagher if it's G-names only.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Fuck it, may as well go all in for Gakpo and Gallagher if it's G-names only.

As long as Gerrard doesn’t come back…

[Gareth]

Fuck it, may as well go all in for Gakpo and Gallagher if it's G-names only.

What’s Gary Gardner up to nowadays?

[Brazilian Villain]

Everton have submitted a bid to sign Brazil midfielder Douglas Luiz from Juventus, with Aston Villa and West Ham also interested in the 27-year-old. (Teamtalk)

[VillaTim]

We need to start signing a couple players soon. I'm sure the plan is in place but we always seem to leave things late .
