Winter 2025 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[ajmant]

Maybe we are no longer after a defender because we have signed one, but not announced it yet….maybe…possibly….hopefully.

Moby Dick continues to elude Captain Ahab. Joao Felix has gone to AC Milan. I'm sure we will be linked with him again in the summer and every window thereafter.

Im going to make a prediction  that chelsea said he isnt available  to buy until summer as they dont want to risk him smashing at us leaving us to finish above them. Then summer we can  get him once rash goes back to utd.

[Paul.S]

It’s a massive risk going into the rest of the season with what we have in central defence.
I can’t believe we won’t get one in but if not this could be the decision that costs us.

Negligence spending 300k a week on Asensio add Rashford and not adding a centre back. Total negligence.

[Drummond]

No it's not.

[Olneythelonely]

Athletic say we are no longer after a defender.

Utter madness.

Where?

[Sexual Ealing]

I think Mings has finally decided to look the manager in the eye and tell him he is the defence.

[Meanwood Villa]

It's a big bloody risk at the very least

[Bobby Boy]

No it's not.

How can having one FEWER players in a critical position after a transfer window not be a risk?

[dorsetvillian]

Getting a centre half was the main priority of this window and so far we have failed miserably to address this issue. Signing Rashford and Asensio is all well and good, but our defence looks a shambles and needs serious upgrading in both depth and quality.

[Drummond]

We will play reserve set up in the Cup and have one premier league game in the next 19 days.

Mings will be back, Torres likely soon after. Digne, Kamara and Bogarde can all do a job, probably equally as well as any available CB

[VillaTim]

It's a huge oversight and very strange if we don't sign a CB .

[brontebilly]

Rashford and Asensio certainly won't help much in terms of pressing from the front and taking the pressure off Kamara and the 2 or 3 defenders left.

[Drummond]

No it's not.

It is a risk. It's not total negligence.

Was it? I thought a RB was? Getting a CB only became a priority when Carlos left and Mings got injured within 5 minutes of eachother.
