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

[Bosco81]

I can’t see wholesale changes being made as we’ve had another good season and just need a few tweaks.

I hope Mings is allowed to stay, and wants to as well, it might suit him the amount of games he is getting while his body repairs.

With Cash and Watkins, I can only see them going if a decent bid comes in and we can sign better than them, who is better than them and available is up for debate.

I’d still like to see us do a deal for Asensio, as there is a class player there, he seems to have more impact as a sub.

We still need a Carlos replacement, but presumably there will be a few more options than in January, that are cheaper than Disasi.

And then if we’re only in the market to spend big money for a right winger to improve on Bailey, we can put some decent money behind an offer for the likes of Mbeumo or Madueke.

I can believe all of that, though I doubt someone who had really been told that by a senior person at the club would publish it and attribute it as such.

Watkins will be the big sale, though, I reckon. I can believe the rest too.

Bailey, a gambling addict? Who's been telling you that?

I read it as Rashford being the one who the unproven rumours of gambling are about.

our scouts watching Samu Aghehowa of Porto .

That sort of player would be ideal if we keep Watkins.  Not sure we could rely on him alone.

He's my striker on football manager lol.

We need to also take a risk with a youngsters ala Duran!

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah agreed, the next main striker will be an interesting one whether it’s this summer or in the next couple of years. I know Ollie divides opinion a bit, but he’s been a constant for a good period of time. It’ll be a big change when he moves.

[ldavfc4eva]

I would look at fringe players going first

Olsen
Barkley
Buendia
Dobbin
Iling Jr
Garcia
Barrenechea

Maybe the last 4 on loan again

Would keep Digne if possible, appreciate his big wages but I think he has been one of the players of the season.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I think Garcia deserves to stick around and has been unfortunate to be overlooked over the past few months considering his performances and where he was playing before.

Just something I heard. Could be complete bollocks, maybe there's an element of truth to it...who knows. Whether it is or not, Emery seemed to decide sometime ago that it was time to move him on.

[brontebilly]

Bailey has only performed one season out of four for us. Regressed hugely this year but still would generate plenty of interest from other clubs.

My ex-wife accused me of being a gambling addict. I said ‘bet you  a tenner I’m not’!

2 goals and 4 assists all season is pretty crap,

[Percy McCarthy]

That Kayode I was on about last summer looks alright doesn’t he?
