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

[Dave]

I think it's more likely is that Man Utd ruin Cunha and Mbuemo than they fix Man Utd, but it's also likely that Man Utd get "fixed" at some point.

Just like a club of our size was more likely to not spend the rest of time in the Championship and we were going to get ourselves sorted eventually. The same will happen to them.

Fingers crossed they've got a few years left though.

[OCD]

Some day they'll be back but their problems are too big to fix in one summer, as has been the case for several years now.

[AV84]

A relegation would do them the world of good.

Man utd are the modern version of 80s man utd. Spend big, crap in the league, win a cup, but a mess behind the scenes.

[IFWaters]

Hopefully they only sell Garnacho to us for a desperately low fee, the shite mentality remains, they stink out the league again and Amorim is gone by Christmas and the whole festering cycle of shite can start all over again. That would make for a good christmas

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

If we could rouse ourselves to take more than a point off the absolute bell sniffers if would be most welcome.

It's the "win a cup" bit that grates.

Yeah right. When we’re shit we go down, we don’t even win a cup when we’re good!
Bastards!

Only Liverpool won more points than Manure in the 1980s.

However, they didn't manage to win the League and had to settle for 2 FA Cups, the poor lambs.

[wolfman999]

Cunha and Mbeumo have both said they were Man Utd fans when they grew up. That and the fact that they overpay are the only reasons they've gone there.

No doubt they would have said the same about their new club if they'd gone to Liverpool, Citeh, Arsenal, Chelsea........

[OCD]

It's credible with them though, probably not so much with Citeh and Chelsea. 

[OCD]

I wonder how those employees who were made redundant feel when they see them throwing £71m and whatever Cunha cost plus their salaries around.

[jwarry]

As always, and possibly because I have thought our squad has never been good enough, I’ve always looked forward to the transfer window in the hope that we will better our squad BUT if because of shit fair play rules we can’t do anything I for one trust in Unai to make us competitive with what we’ve got -after all even bloody Eddie Howe managed that last year!

[charlatan]

Manure are going to be a lot better than they were last season.
If you are honest you realise they they’re bestX1 is ahead than ours right now.
I know it’s uncomfortable but they tore us apart on the last day of the season and have improved since then.

I’m less than thrilled with where the squad is at the moment. But I’d be very surprised if Man Utd completely flip where they’ve been. They’ve made a couple of decent signings, but don’t confuse our hoodoo against them with that being indicative of them recovering. That game was a real outlier, they might be a bit better, but they’ve got a load of problems. I’d be very surprised if they finished top 10.

Top 10 Man Utd finish available to lay at 1.34 on the Betfair exchange. Villa slightly shorter odds. The two clubs are the same price there to finish in the top 6 with odds suggesting Man Utd more likely to finish in the top 4 and top 2.

[Beard82]

I would be disapointed if we finished below them.  Clearly some reinforcenents would help - but I would still much rather be in the position we are then where Man Utd are. 

In players like Matasaan, Garcia, Onana and Malen we have a number of players who could easily kick on. And I just dont see someone like Unai standing for us not being competitive next season - by hook or by crook he wont go in significantly underbaked. 

I am struggling a bit to get motivated for this season though.  To be honest the ticket costs, the hideous last game of the season / palace no show, combined with the financial restraints clearly making it way harder for us then it should be is making me we worry we have seen the peak
