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

[PaulWinch again]

Can we sign a centre-back please, we’ve somehow found ourselves in a situation where we’re a bit light….

[Tuscans]

Aston Villa are exploring a move for Besiktas forward Semih Kılıçsoy.

We will have a warchest if he gets sold.

Al-Nassr are preparing an official offer for Jhon Durán.
@mcgrathmike
 

He's following up what french journo said yesterday

Riyadhs Al Nassr are interested in Duran. Now what is going on here? They are one of the big boys of Saudi Pro league

French journalist Santi Ona confirmed via the "X" platform that Al-Nasr Club want Aston Villa striker John Doran.

 “Paris Saint-Germain had made a verbal offer worth 75 million euros to sign Duran, and it was rejected by Aston Villa.. Now Al-Nasr Club is entering the race, The player is interested in the idea of playing in Saudi Arabia"

I do think there's a known or leaked clause in his new contract. And I do think there is no smoke without fire.
There seems to be a lot of disruption and stories wanting to break about bids from West Ham and PSG, that Chelsea having discussions and now Al Nassr coming in for him?

The french journalist was accurate with the happenings of Mbappe Real Madrid transfer.

So a centre back who doesn't mind not playing every match?
Despite experience I don't Micheal Keane or Viktor Lindelof are considerations so nothing to see here for a Prem defender

I've found a under 21 Spain international who fits the bill. Currently playing for Valencia.
After cast my net over Spain and  found centre back, who can also play right back,  Cristhian Mosquera.
He's our Man. And 20 years old.

Keane and Lindelhof?!

And as for Mosquera, what's your criteria? Have you watched them play and analysed their stats and performances, or just taking a guess based on age and that they speak Spanish?

[Footy-Vill]

I'm saying there's no experience player worth taking as Keane and Lindelof are only viable options in the Prem.

We don't take those Chambers and Bednarek signings anymore either.

Lenglet was a good loan move last season and something or the ilk or as I say a young up and coming Spanish centre back
Mosquera is a quality centre half and he'll be decent wherever he moves.

Eric Garcia , given Barca financial struggles, could be another we move for and would be cheaper.

Do you work with Footy Insider?

[Footy-Vill]

Talksport have said Villa will only listen to bids of £85m and above for Duran. This must be his release clause.
West Ham definitely priced out and besides they loaned Bobbey from Ajax. (Don't think he's the answer for them)

[Footy-Vill]

Do you work with Footy Insider?

Football insider have some decent pundits such as financial expert Kieran Maguire and former ref Keith Hackett for insight.
They also have former Villa staff Chief Executive Keith Wyness and Scout Mick Brown.

Some of their Transfer reporters aren't as reliable as likes of Rob Dorsett at Sky.

Nope, you're wrong with your opinion, speculation, guesswork, insight, dreams or whatever we're calling it today.

'Villa are demanding a hefty £85m fee for the striker and have intimated that even then, there are no guarantees they will agree to a sale.' is the actual quote, so why are you insistent on the release clause stuff?

Nope, it's a load of old bollocks.

Aston Villa are among clubs interested in South Korean teenager Do-young Yun — his representatives were at Bodymoor Heath for discussions earlier this week.

Heard he's quick, da do run run.

Rob Dorsett talks out his arse. To describe him as reliable is mind boggling.
