Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

Think the rigidly playing out craze has probably reached it's zenith also.

 

thank **** for that!!

 

Would west ham really spend another £5m on a keeper this summer whem theyve just spent £20m on a keeper?

I suppose they have the funds but thats ****e

 

Youre arguing with yourself here?

 

So apparently the bosnian midfielder is training with us
Its all done with medical etc

But its not signed off yet until kamaras loan is sealed and done?

What is this bonkers

 

Was reported on sky this morning that West Ham in concrete talks with some foreign keeper ( not Pandur btw) so I'm calling bollox on yet another spurious rumour.

 

I mean that's just nonsense isn't it haha. We're under a few restriction so of course new signings have been frees and loans.

There's plenty of sellable assets that haven't just been sold in this imaginary fire sale.

 

Is this all from that tweet by the German NFL journo, or from other sources as well?

 

One man's belief,another man's nonsense.

Welcome to planet Earth

 

Not a firesale per se, but we are having to make difficult choices to strengthen. Don't think some of those who have left would go in an ideal world.

 

People have been saying that and wishing it to be true for about two years now.

 

So you're classing selling Jones, McCloughlin and Alzate as a fire sale? Sorry but I just don't buy it I'm afraid.

There's a balance to be struck here between Acun sycophancy and thinking the sky is falling in because we've sold some centre backs who'd maybe run their race at the club.

There's been a marked rollback since forest proved you can be successful going more direct if you don't have a squad full of galacticos. And Burnley proved you can defend your way to promotion.

I'm not saying it will disappear completely, just become a tool in the box in most cases as opposed to a primary tactic.

 

I believe he’s Brazilian but West Ham aren’t impressed with the quoted £6m fee, so that could make sense that they’re looking elsewhere for slightly less maybe?

 

John isn’t it. He was a keeper in Spain Division 2 for ages ended up in Brazil and suddenly he’s worth 6 million.

 

Having a keeper who is good with the ball at his feet and has an eye for Hollywood passes is a bonus but shot-stopping always trumps ball-playing for a keeper, in my opinion. I would prefer for both centre-backs in a back four (or the outside centre-backs in a back three) to be decent ball-players as well but not at the expense of being defensively ****e. Lots of West Ham fans don’t rate Kilman despite him being good on the ball because he’s crap in the air and soft as ****e for a centre-back.

 

There is quite clearly a trend developing that teams are moving away from slow possession based football.

 

There’s also clearly a trend of teams putting the ball in the box from corners instead of passing it all the way back to the keeper
Thank ****

 

With the goals they are conceding, they are planning on playing with 2 keepers so a move may well be on the cards!
