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

If it is Disasi, he's a right sided defender isn't he, so if he had come in sooner, either him or Konsa would have had to play on the left which is why I think he's gone with Kamara maybe  knowing that Mings was only going to be out for a couple of games.

Konsa did well on left side for England when I have seen him so not a major issue

I think we've been down the route and had the discussion before that primarily signing players from lower down clubs or subs benches eventually degrades your team. Our summer deals were Chelsea subs bench, Everton, Hull, Juventus subs bench, Luton and Sheffield Utd. I don't think it's worked and the performances and league position at the moment back that up.

Id take a few of brentfords players personally.  Mbeumo being the obvious one

Excellent player.

Well, we're about to sign two players from Man Utd and PSG and you're still not happy. Just try not to be angry about absolutely everything. You'll feel better for it.

🚨🧨 As things stand, Chelsea are reluctant to allow João Félix & Axel Disasi to join Aston Villa on anything other than permanent deal.

🚨🧨 As it stands, Axel Disasi won’t be moving to Aston Villa due to the huge loan fee — no move for João Félix either.

🚨⚠️ Negotiations between Aston Villa and Chelsea for João Félix are currently complicated.

Chelsea asking for important financial package for João to direct competitor for UCL.

Discussions for Axel Disasi continue but also with important loan fee requested, not easy one.

[eamonn]

The superfluous and repeated use of "important" there is shocking  foreign journalist or not. Send him to the stocks.

What does this bit mean?

Chelsea asking for important financial package for João to direct competitor for UCL.

We're a direct competitor with Chelsea for a Champions League place in the league...a rival.

We need a bloody centre-half.

[Demitri_C]

If i was a guessing man a massively CL bonus if we qualify as well as other silly expensove clauses that chelsea might want. As we have them in next few weeks if felix came back to haunt them then they want to be compensated for that.

I assume something along those lines

I used to put Michael Owen at centre back on Pro Evolution Soccer and run all the way up the other end with him and score. If Emery has ever watched Game Master then I think Rashford could be used in a similar way.

No, nothing like that.
