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

Aston Villa are also expected to ramp up their interest in Oscar Mingueza, with Diego Carlos still in talks over a move to Fenerbahçe.

oooh I love it when we ramp things up

Would be a dream window if we get Donny, a centre-half & right-back… and Dougie.

That won't happen because 1 of them would have to sit out on Europe.

Even if Gauchi and/or Ned go on loan?

Come to think of it, we can only add three to the CL squad no matter where they’re from. I think that’s right?

[Somniloquism]

Yes. We can only make three changes to the current Euro squad max. So Jaden and maybe Carlos gone, and then remove one of those two to make space for the third.

Someone else would need to drop out of the squad to make space (I assume those two spots paul's already handed to your players on your list of new arrivals).. Philogene leaving doesn't open up a space in the CL squad, as he fills one of the four club-trained spots.

Our main Champions League squad is basically Ramsey + 21 other players, two of whom need to be goalkeepers.

Edit - also you can only register three news players for the knock-outs that you didn't have for the league stage. That's probably more straightforward and what Paul was getting at.

The FA Cup winners medal may soften the blow.

 Yasin Özcan will have his medical at Aston Villa tomorrow — he will spend the rest of the season on loan at Kasımpaşa. Fee is €7m + €1m in add-ons.

Another one for the future, but apparently we are looking at Nathan Lowe, who has been scoring at Walsall, who is owned by Stoke.

Would it not be a bit of a gamble having only two goalies in Europe, or are we allowed to just put a kid on the bench in emergencies?

Could do with him now

We need to have at least three across the main squad and the youth. I assume that we've included all of Olsen / Emi / Gauchi in the main squad up to now because there was no reason not to as there wasn't anyone omitted that we wanted to include.

Three shiny new signings though might mean that we're happy to use Zych (who along with Proctor and Lewis is named in the Champions League squad) instead of Gauchi and give his spot to Malen / AN Other.

Ta.

Sounds like yet a other left footed centre back?

We only need a minimum of two GK on list A, we have three others listed on list B (Proctor, Zych and Lewis).
