2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

RE the BrfcPrivy account on Twitter.

Its extraordinary that a senior member of a multi-million pound business sees it necessary to leak propaganda from an anonymous twitter account in a desperate attempt to generate positive PR.

Its a clear reflection on the fact we are run by amateurs.

The info he gets and leaks, has to either be a member of VI’s staff or someone on the board.

Shambolic, heads should roll.

Club are hardly going to come out and say Travis wanted to play are they. They're in the process of selling him, can't risk an injury to happen.

They played Brittain in meaningless friendlies

They are rolling! Not just the right ones.

True....so then maybe Travis has simply had a falling out with someone, Suhail and Gestede probably, and Ismael has been told not to pick him.

Its irrelevant either way. We know the club have messed up with the player contracts so it's ultimately on them to not be so utterly incompetent.

Does Cantwell just jog around and do nothing? I honestly have no idea what he brings

Forshaw the coach who signed for us in the summer

Although saying that he said he wants to be a scout?

So unsure why he's at the club

Thanks, I missed the first couple of minutes so didn’t catch who it was. I’ve been wracking my brains thinking of an injured/squad player whose scouse that it could have been

[bigbrandjohn]

In orher news Eustace was proud of the lads for not letting the heads drop.  Clearly they are not tall enough.

Always rated Cantwell me

[Lancaster Rover]

I text my lad (who is at the game) at half time that Cantwell needed to do more, so fair play on the second half impact 

[roverandout]

We only need one more player (eye roll)

[sharpysharps86]

Right winger, Trav replacement, and a centre forward are all desperately needed.

Even then, the quality in squad depth is so poor. De Neve and Axel are not good enough options off the bench.

If Alebiosu has a bad injury then we've only got one right back at the club, who's actually better as a right sided CB anyway. Shambolic.

If anyone watching that today thinks this squad needs only one more addition that shouldn't be involved in football.

We are so short it beggars belief.

Agreed 

 

once the injuries start to hit in Nov/Dec we really will be screwed, if you take some of the players who are more probable bets for a few weeks of treatment out of contention for the 11, it then is one dross team

On his way to the States apparently. As usual the finances will override the requirements of the team/squad. 

[London blue]

Based on what I've seen so far, this is what I think we would need to maintain 7th spot from last year.

Backup GK, assuming Pears goes

Starting CB

Replacement for Trav.

2nd string CM

Starting RW

Striker (and not some £200k pickup)

If we actually fancied improving the squad, you can add a LW and another striker to that. We're led to believe the club expects one (1) more new recruit, and to replace Trav.

What should happen and what will happen are so far apart, that I question the judgement of anyone who tries to assert we're anywhere near the strength of last season.

Unless the above signings are completed I'm pretty confident we'll be battling Wednesday for bottom of the pack.
