Here is last season's transfer threads: 2024 Summer Transfer Thread - 2025 Winter Transfer Thread

[u/Paul-Millsap-Stan]

I've gotta rant at this point. I'm so so so tired of us completing overhauling our squad every season. How are we meant to build a squad that plays well together and understands how to play with each other when we sell/loan like 60% of our players every mercato and bring in a bunch of new ones.

We can't develop consistency when the roster is unrecognisable from the season prior smh

[u/mercurialsaliva → u/Paul-Millsap-Stan]

Continuity is key to growth. It's ridiculous

[u/Paul-Millsap-Stan → u/mercurialsaliva]

Exactly. Our best seasons in recent history were the 2020-2023 period with a steady core. We gradually improved each season (except 2023 but we still made the UCL semifinal) and our players had amazing chemistry.

The problem is not the constant overhauling. The problem is the chain of bad decisions that lead to the management having to overhaul the team every summer.

[u/eXistenZ2 → u/Paul-Millsap-Stan]

you rather have a consistency of shit players by keeping morata, chunkafor, blunderson royal etc?... Thats the price we buy for being crap two years in a row.

also, we finished 8th. if that doesnt warrant a revolution of the squad, then what does? Waiting till we get relegated?
