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

[Beard82]

I wonder if, when future generations look back, they'll see this era of football—where clubs are forced to sell their best players and try to replace them with non-homegrown alternatives just to meet made up financial regulations—as bizarre as we now see the days when matches were half football, half rugby.

Aston Villa do not want to lose £90m-rated England midfielder Morgan Rogers, who is attracting the interest of Chelsea, but the 22-year-old would be open to a move if the opportunity presented itself. (Teamtalk)

[AV84]

Would he? I suppose he's pals with Palmer, but he speaks so highly of us/Uni, it seems unlikely.

[Somniloquism]

It is Teamtalk. Nothing to see here.

[Monty]

Most players are 'open' to a lot of things, doesn't mean they move.

[Rigadon]

If we had to sell Rogers after a year we might as well pack it in.

[Dave]

Yeah. And as a rule of thumb if a club is "open" to selling a player, that player will normally be "open" to moving as it's an indication that their potential new club values them higher than their current one.

Indeed - two things, it’s Teamtalk and entirely the sort of statement that can’t be proved or disproved. Secondly, Unai clearly sees him as pivotal I think it would take something remarkable for us to sell him.

Also if we can top 5 I think any whispers go away.

I agree, the euro competition we end up in is critical to how we line up next year.

Im open to a threesome with Scarlett Johansson   .   doesnt mean its happening .

Is the third spot taken? Asking for a friend.

You can play the Scarlet role

I'd avoid watching Under The Skin then.

I'm pretty relaxed about CL Vs Europa qualification. I think we arguably had a better summer transfers wise the season we made the conference and I don't think too many of our players will agitate to go because of a season in the Europa.

We might take a couple of calculated gambles if we are in that, but don't think it's the end of the world and it's a good opportunity to go really far in Europe again.

The squad needs less surgery this summer too, maybe 2-3 players that can challenge the first team, but Unai seems to like some turnover so I can see one or two shocks leaving. For me, right winger and striker are the imperative signings, then a centre half.

The teams in 15th v 16th in the PL will contest the final of the Europa.  It's not what it used to be.  That said, it'd be better than the Conference League.
