Winter 25-26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Sexual Ealing]

What the Turkish press seem to be saying is that Besiktas has the obligation to buy, so would buy, then sell to us, but only for 30 million euros. We do that we're utterly insane. Go get younger, more mobile, striker centre forward from somewhere. He's worth 15 max.

Yes.

[eamonn]

Yeah, feck that.

Tammy has scored 1 in 2 in Turkey. We wouldn’t sign him as our primary option. His attitude always seems to be great. He is a bigger, stronger version of the player who was with us in his early 20’s. Good as a target man up front. A very useful option when defending set pieces. For a reasonable price I think he’d be a very good signing. He’s only 28. We watched 35 year old Danny Wellbeck still doing the business for Brighton. Emery likes experienced players with versatility and that intelligence that also comes from developing their game on the continent. I would be very happy to get Tammy and Gallagher in the January window to add that extra bit of depth and quality to our second half trophy push.

In the right deal - I would have no issue with Tammy.

Warming to Gallagher too

Gallagher has proved himself to be a PL standard player.

Tammy hasn't.

🚨 Roma are in talks to sign Donyell Malen on loan.

I don't see any value in letting Donny go. He's scoring a few goals, offers something different and is literally the only forward we have with pace. It would be a mind bogglingly poor decision.

Tammy hasn't.

Tammy has played in 89 PL games scoring 26 times plus 5 assists. Conor Gallagher has 136 PL appearances by comparison.

There are plenty of players that get signed without PL experience. And while Tammy doesn’t have a lot of games in the PL I don’t know if it disqualifies him as a PL level player. He’s played in Serie A, Turkey’s top league, Europa and Champions League. And he’s been picked for England 11 times.
