Summer Silly Season Transfer Thread 2025

[@jolslover]

Torn on Højlund. On the one hand he has looked so bad at United, watched him a few times last season and everytime I thought he had nothing about him.

Then you look at Antony.. was shite at United then went to La Liga and looked one of the best wingers in Europe for 6 months.

I think overall he could be a good signing with a point to prove, he has shown glimpses of potential.. but wouldnt be my first choice for a big money Muniz replacement

There's no way he would come here to be #3 so this will only happen if Muniz leaves.

Not much choice soon,as we're getting desperate.
I've heard we're after Ivan Brokendown aged 38,who scored  40 goals for non league Leiston in Eastern Counties league 2.

Antony was showing loads of impressive work even at Utd. His stats were deceptively good, despite his low confidence, and I was calling for us to go in for him prior to his move to Betis. His success at Betis was no surprise, especially given his impressive career at Ajax prior to Utd.

Hojlund, on the other hand, looked pretty mid-tier at Atalanta and has been abysmal at Utd. Irredeemably bad.

There's no doubt that Utd have problems, but I really don't think that Hojlund is able to cut it at this level right now. He needs to drop a level/league and rebuild.

I hope we don't take a desperate punt on him.

If we want an out of favour striker, however, I'd rather we go for Nicolas Jackson from down the road. He's a questionable character, but isn't far off being a top player and I think he'd fit our system really well.

[FFC007]

Silva was definitely throwing his toys out of the pram in that press conference, but very diplomatically.

I fear for the words "Let's hope" that refers to getting players in. That suggests to me that there is a whiff of uncertainty as to getting bodies in.

If we have a poor start to the season, then difficult times await.

 I don't want to see a last minute scramble for any unwanted second rate offerings out there on the loan market.

[Rambler]

We won't get hojlund.
Think he's in advanced talks with AC Milan

[fulhamfan]

Yeh Hoijand going to Milan not Fulham

Mid tier at Atlanta?

Not from what I saw at the time. Lad got 14  G/A in 34 appearances as a 19 year old  kid.

Agree it's a risk at this level but think utd is just a bad environment for him right now. Unlikely anyway but I wouldn't be mad at it at the right price

I make it 9 goals and 2 assists in 32 league appearances for Atalanta. He didn't outperform his xG at all and was outside of the top 20 league scorers despite had plenty of time on the pitch. Sofascore awarded his league performances an average of 6.73 for them.

Regardless, I watched a lot of Serie A that year and he was absolutely mid IMO. Not sure what to say beyond that - it's all opinions!

9 goals and 4 assists in league. 1 goal in cup. 34 appearances

That's 14 G/A. At 19 years old. Who cares about outperforming his xg? You have to create those chances for yourself to score them and not like he underperformed it?

 I watch serie A every year as follow Roma. Far from mid imo,plenty buzz about him at the time given his age. Season got him a 70m+ move.

To each their own though I guess

Jackson will be a lot more expensive (quoted price is £50 mil) and on a higher wage.

[Tabby]

Chelsea managed to flog Broja for £20 million, they're not letting Jackson leave unless someone stumps up big money. They have him on an 500 year contract and are content to wait. And he would probably look at bigger teams than Fulham anyway.

[Deuce]

I mentioned it before but its curious to see people writing off a 22 year old Højlund, but willing welcome a 30 year old Sterling saying that Silva will get him good again. Both had terrible seasons last year and Sterlings legs looks like theyve gone. If Silva does work miracles, then surely he can turn Højlund into a good prem striker?

Invest £20 mil in a 30 year old and pay him 100k a week (and help Chelscum get a huge wage of their wage budget) or invest £30 mil in a 22 year old and pay him the same wage, I know which one im more comfortable with.

In an ideal world, where good nr 9s arent such a hot commodity, Id rather have someone else but at this stage of the window I honestly dont know who we can get? A lot bigger clubs than us seem to want a nr 9 and we have to be there to pick up whatever is left 

[Tabby]

Hojlund seems to be snubbing a permanent transfer to AC Milan, so I don't see him accepting anything more than a temporary move at best here.

He really likes the word "moment" he seems to use it to talk about events on the pitch and off it.

I think it's a common quirk from speaking a second language. My bet would be that it's a common phrase in Portuguese.

Make it happen Fulham

[Tabby]

Looks like Forest are trying to sign both McAtee and Hutchinson. Assume that means that Marinakis threw a huge wad of cash at MGW in exchange for him staying another season as he saw the Tottenham bid as a personal insult, and they're trying to find a replacement early. Hard to fit all three into the Forest team otherwise.

I don't know. Every time I've watched him play he's been pretty dreadful. Also bound to be expensive in this crazy market.

A goal every 300 mins in the prem. last season every 500 mins. Even in Italy only every 200 mins.

Muniz a goal every 150 mins in the prem and every 119 mins last season.

After sell on for Muniz, Hojland would prob cost at least as much if not more than the incoming.

Could Marco get more out of him? Maybe but not even brilliant at holding up play to fit our system.

Make it make sense why so many fans think this is a good idea as I m completely lost?

Doubt he'd want to come anyway as for some god for saken reason he will think he's 10x better than us...thank god. 😂
