2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

People keep mentioning his versatility when scraping the barrel for positives. Is he versatile? Is being equally ineffective on either the left or right wing versatility?

Its the low cost and ease of the deal which made it inevitable.

Hedges Ohashi and Kargbo as our regular front 3 doesn't inspire me too much, although I do think Ohashi has done well.

Heading into next season with the same problems we had this.

A wide man with 1 goal and 2 assists in a season in which he played the majority of games.

A wide man who isnt quick, isnt tricky and cant beat a man.

A wide man who has lots of red flags with injury.

But hes cheap and requires no negotiation so sign him up.

This is spot on.

Hedges is limited in an attacking sense (too slow, can't dribble etc) but he is very solid defensively and helps his FB to shut down a side of the pitch, it's why managers like him that he works so hard defensively and in the press. He also adds a bit of experience to the winger group which is otherwise untested once we let Dolan leave. I wouldn't start him but he is a useful guy to have in the squad and to come of the bench when defending a lead/draw.

People are quick to call for a more exciting attacker like Markanday but then slam him for being lazy defensively; ideally a player should do both (Dolan on one of his good days is close in that regard).

Also we know any replacement would just be cheaper and worse...
