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

I don’t have an issue with Victor being an unknown as long as it’s Potter and Macauley’s unknown, my problem is that Sullivan has shown he dips his oar in so many times he paints a fucking great target on his own back, it’s a shame that nobody hits that target with a deserved hammer 

[Fauxstralian]

Hermansen is the right choice 
Right age, right profile & the keeping coach knows his ability and character

The Brazilian is a Samba Roberto
Typical Sullivan disaster signing 

[Mad Ferret]

That Brazilian keeper looks a right clown.  

He'll fit right in here at the WHU circus then.

[El Scorchio]

I heard this yesterday. It is an absolute joke. What other owner openly shits all over his manager and recruiter’s plans so much in favour of just doing what he wants with no thought of how he’s harming his own club?

[Tomshardware]

That Brazilian keeper looks a right clown.  

[dealcanvey]

I don’t think Areolas position is going to be under threat anytime soon. 

[Lee Trundle]

Just seen on X that exwhuemployee is saying this Brazilian bloke is another one of Sullivan's picks via Willie McKay.

Our club is a joke.

[Mad Ferret]

Would rather Brownhill on a free than spunk 26m on KDH.

[Eerie Decent]

Dewsbury-Hall is miles off what we need in central midfield. 

[twoleftfeet]

Dewsbury-Hall to Everton for £26m, pretty decent player but not as good as Brownhill

[fraser]

I can't reveal my source

About an eighth of Moroccan solid

That's definitely something you don't see much of anymore.

Turn it in you plank.

Reitz and Sudakov will be signed next week according to valid sources 

Did Elon Musk tell you?

I can't reveal my source but he is connected to Potter

Sudakov will have a Payet like impact and Reitz is the new Roy Keane

[Iron Duke]

This John fella? It’s a big fuck off from me.

[goose]

What bothers me is that he’s 29 and only appears to have played one full season of first team football.

[El Scorchio]

It’s obviously heavily edited but this video does have a whiff of Roberto about it.

He looks utter fucking shit from that video. Even if those are his career lowlights, that's still more fuck ups than I'd like to see from any goalie who stand between the posts for us. Based on that there is a) zero chance Potter had anything to do with trying to sign this clown b) zero chance he beats out Areola to be our number one. What an utter waste of money this would be.

[fraser]

From a NY times article...

compare to the Premier League’s elite crop of goalkeepers, and what could he bring to United?

The Ederson parallel

To understand what makes John stand out, we should consider the clarity and quality of his distribution. Possessing the composure and technical ability to pass out from the back has become a non-negotiable for goalkeepers at top clubs — but while many modern ‘keepers are proficient in playing short to maintain possession, John flips the script: he’s at his best when going long.

Much like Ederson, whose direct passing transformed Manchester City’s build-up play, John can bypass entire midfields with one well-hit ball. His passes are driven rather than floated, making them harder to intercept. Whether spraying to wide areas for wingers running into space or playing over the top to stretch a defensive line, John thrives in these moments and can kick from box to box with ease.

This season, John is completing long passes at a rate of 53.4 per cent, up from 50.4 per cent last year, while his overall passing accuracy has risen to 80.8 per cent. For comparison, United’s current No 1 Andre Onana — who is far more involved in build-up play and averages significantly more short and medium-range passes — had a long pass accuracy of just 36.6 per cent in the Premier League last season, with an overall passing accuracy of 72.6 per cent.

Sudakov looks a player, so I definitely don't believe that

Reitz and Sudakov will be signed next week according to valid sources
