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

[Percy McCarthy]

Don't we have another fifty million quid Champions League cash now, or do we get all that at the end of the season?

Doesn’t really matter when we get it, as long as it goes in the accounts eventually.

I imagine Brentford would want at least £60m and we're bound by PSR and the even more stringent UEFA rules. I don't think we'll be buying anyone proven in the Premier League as the prices are too high.

Id pay it he will be worth that. Class player

Newcastle are apparently one of the clubs interested in signing him and they seemingly have their hands tied like us. We could get inventive and offer players in exchange. He's only just turned 25 and had a very productive season alongside Watkins a few seasons ago.

Well I know we won't be signing him but he would definitely be an upgrade.

Do you honestly think the clean sheets against Man City, Arsenal (twice), Bayern Munich, Man Utd and Bologna would have happened without Carlos? Bear in mind, they never do against anybody else when he’s not playing.

It’s like mass delusion on here. Looking at results and checking what the line-up was seems beyond people.

The last one at home last season was Wolves at the end of March. Guess who played?

The first one at home this season was Bayern. Guess who played?

The last one away last season was Arsenal. Guess who played?

The first one away this season was Young Boys. Guess who played?

Clue: it wasn’t Matty Catastrophe.

GET IN THERE, PERCY MY SON!!

It surprised me how quickly Carlos got dropped back to the bench after a string of 4 really good performances where he was looking the part. Then benched again.

From looking at when he’s picked, it’s nearly always against the stronger teams. When UE thinks games will be less demanding on our defence, he often goes for the more traditional RB (Cash) and moves Konsa back inside. Makes sense rotation-wise.

[OCD]

I was expecting it to be Konsa-Carlos-Pau-Digne against Bournemouth and Spurs. We probably should have done in hindsight against Bournemouth and if Wednesday's selection is anything to go by, it looks like he'll go Cash-Konsa-Pau-Digne against Spurs as well.

[LeeB]

He started with 3 at the back down there last season and we were all over the place, only when Cash and Diaby went off and Bailey and Tielemans came on did we get some control.

Spurs are the only team that spooked Emery last season. He tried to counter them with that setup down there, which didn't work and he changed it successfully mid-game, but then he changed us again in reaction to them for the home game and it backfired completely, we handed them initiative and never got it back.

I dont understand how someone disagreeing with you is 'mass delusion' delusion is saying something like barnsley will sign ollie Watkins in the summer.  Saying you dont rate carlos is not delusion just a difference of opinion.

You have  pulled a handful of games that carlos has played well but how many bad games has he had for us? The answer is he has had more bad games than good hence why i would like a upgrade come the summer. Look at that mistake he made for palace goal - thats the second of this season already!

Konsa is a far superior player in his position  when you add carlos age as well he isnt going to get any better than he currently is. So i stand by my comment. Totally fine that you disagree by the way just the delusion part of your post is just completely wrong as i explained earlier 🙂

I’ve already reproduced the stats from all the games he played last season. It was something like 45 goals conceded with Cash/Konsa at RB/RCB, and 30 with Konsa/Carlos in those positions.

We concede less goals when he plays. You’re either deluded not to see it, as it is a simple verifiable fact, or you’d prefer us to concede more goals.

Take your pick.

I added the word ‘mass’ as so many people seem to agree with you. But we have a better defence with Carlos in it, and Konsa at RB. What do you call it when people disagree with verifiable facts?

For me, this is like arguing with someone who swears blind that we beat Palace the other night.
