Summer Transfer Window 2025 | Official Thread

[stubbo-admin]

May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.

Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

Window this close season comes in two parts:

Part 1: 1st June to 10th June
Part 2: 16th June to 1st September

"Tottenham's bid for Mohammed Kudus included add-ons that only kicked in if they win the Champions League or Premier League, talkSPORT understands."

LOL that is hilarious. 

[fraser]

Absolute whiff of ladysmith/ferret with this one. 

Absolute whiff of twoleftfeet this post.. 

What’s this got to do with me you fucking cսnt of a man? I don’t give a toss where Kudus goes as long as we get top dollar for him.

Now fuck off you idiot.

Lack of sense of humour from  you, you're always accusing everyone of being an N17 fan so nothing to do with Kudus.. 

[twoleftfeet]

I honestly thought the days of us acting as a stepping stone for players going to Spurs were years gone!

I think the day Kudus got here he was using us as a stepping stone whomever he goes to.

It's more like this to be honest...

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

I’m referring to last season, when he clearly threw his toys out of the pram being asked to play on the left. 

It wasn’t Paqueta’s chosen position the season prior either, but he just got on with it. 

You know the two players are completely different, right? Paqueta didn't suddenly play as a left winger, running with the ball, bunging crosses in, etc. He played his own game, same as he does in the centre, fancy tricks, slick passing, careless giving the ball away. It made little difference to him that he was played wider. In some ways he might have preferred it as he linked up well with Emerson.

Kudus, on the other hand, his whole game is about running with the ball TOWARDS the goal. Not away from it. Not running it to the corner flag or being pushed sideways or backwards as the defender knows how to play him (which is what mostly happened). I don't blame him for getting an attitude about it. I blame the idiots in charge for not seeing what a piss poor decision it was to play him there again and again and again.

Lopetegui in particular should have put Bowen up front with Kudus on the right rather than playing the completely ineffectual Antonio in the centre. Potter I could understand a bit more as he doesn't like that sort of direct running anyway. He probably actually liked Kudus just keeping the ball and running backwards and sideways with it. Got to keep those possession stats up.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

Ive never taken to Kudus...he's always been a short term flipper for me... .
good riddance ...60 minimum and we've made a tidy  profit on a geezer who is massively overrated

Unless Sullivan manages to get Levy paying over the odds for Kudus, he shouldn't be doing business with that cսnt for 1 of our best playing assets (albeit with a suspect attitude). If he gets close to the release clause then fair enough but any talk of £50M with staggered payments on the never, never means Spurs are getting the best deal out of this by a long way. 

Ideally he's just been stringing the gollum wanker along and at the last minute sells Kudus to someone else for much more, but this is Sullivan we are talking about here who has a long history of fucking up business in our interests.. 

[Fauxstralian]

I imagine if Chelsea came in he’d go there 
Also read that his agent told Liverpool that he’d take a pay cut to join them 
Anywhere but our clown show I expect

[Maverick180180]

No other West Ham sites are mentioning it though 
you can bet your life Sullivan was straight on the phone telling them to write about it 

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

The story of Kudus only wanting a Spurs move came from Fabrizio Romano, not C&H/Sullivan.

[Maverick180180]

Classic Sullivan tactics. Try to make a villain of the player/manager/staff member in the hope they get the blame for his actions or inactions. 

This is why I can’t stand the piece of shit 
I’m used to having unambitious owners who love to cash in on our best players, but this is the only one that tries to make out it’s not his choice or fault

He honestly reminds me of a Bond villain,
manipulates the media for his own narrative like Elliott Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies, same weasel appearance as Nik Nak from the Man with the Golden Gun and a bird that looks like fucking Jaws from the Spy who Loved Me standing by his side 

[boleyn8420]

Surely this is simple. Release clause is £85m for a Premirr League team. Pay it or fuck off.

[Ron Eff]

Bowen always makes a decent fist of playing up front. It’s embarrassing how bad Kudus is on the left for a left footed player. Seems to have no ability or confidence to take someone on on the outside and cross with his favoured foot. I understand players have favoured sides, but do I think Bowen would have a better stab at left wing than Kudus? Absolutely. He has a better attitude for starters. It just so happens he is better than him on the right as well. And up front. 

People make way too many excuses for Kudus playing on the left. He was generally average when he played on the right, too. 

I don't think that Kudus was "generally average" in his first season, when he mainly played on the right. 18 goals and 10 assists in his first season in England is excellent by anyone's standards. Not fucking average at all.

Last season, under Lopetegui he started 4 times on the right (3 of them vs Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool which the manager didn't even try to win, the other vs Wolves where we won and Kudus got an assist). Under Potter he started twice on the right (1 win, 1 draw, 1 assist). He was given very few chances to be at his best.

As for Bowen I tend to agree that he would have been better than Kudus on the left, but we'll never know will we? I guarantee that he wouldn't have played as well as he does from the right or up front though.

Kudus is off to spurs then 
the hobbit cսnt is using his mouth piece claret and hugh to put it out there that Kudus wants to go to Tottenham, what better way to appease what he’s about to do than to try and make the fan base take it out on Kudus rather than him
nice try Sullivan, but no matter what you do no one will ever be as hated by this fanbase as much as you are you slimy cսnt

[dealcanvey]

Sullivan and Levy negotiating with each other? This could drag on for a couple of years. 

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

Is it entirely beyond the bounds of possibility to suggest that Sullivan's failure to move in the transfer market might be a tactic to try to get Potter to resign?

Even a fuckwit like Sullivan knows that Potter won't resign. Someone who already has a chequered history is not going to quit when his current win rate is just 26%. Even if we buy no-one he won't do that much worse than he has already. And he can just use the lack of transfer funds as an excuse when he does inevitably get sacked (and also get the HUGE payout that goes with it).
