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

[Clampy]

Would have though Amorim would be after him for next season being as he has experienced a relegation fight already so should be used to it.

You'll know they're in trouble when they sign Jordan Ayew.

He reminds me of the Anthill Mob character who cries all the time because he always looks as if he's about to burst into tears.

If you'd told me when he played for us, what, ten years ago that he'd still be getting PL games somewhere a decade later, I'd have thought you were fucking mental.

I'd say he's the only player who was a regular for us that season who deserved another chance in the league. He's had some decent seasons since but also had long spells of looking like he's a competition winner.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Think Amavi was a good player, but in a dreadful side.

Idrissa Gueye didn't do too badly either.

[Monty]

Plenty of them did well either before or after that season. Just not during that season.

Ayew did… okay?

[Rotterdam]

If we could work it and persuade him, I'd have a look at Delap.

[cdbearsfan]

I haven't seen that much of him but not sure he's ready to be the main man, and not sure he'd be willing to be anything else. A move to someone like Everton before going to Chelsea in two seasons for £80 million seems like the natural trajectory.

[AV84]

I heard Arsenal were after him, but they apparently wanted to sign an older, more experienced striker too. Can't see him going for that myself.

[OCD]

He's been strongly linked to United unfortunately. Some players don't seem bothered that they're a mess.

[AV84]

I can see why the idea that you might be the one to "save" a club like Man U would be appealing to a player, but surely at this point they'd have to see it's a lost cause.

[BoVillan esq]

I think we should go full tilt for Adam Wharton, he's going to be a top player in the next season/seasons, now is the time to get him, another one that wouldn't cost us anything, we need to get Enzo Barrenchea back from Valencia, get him settled in, mate of mine and Villa fan lives over that way and has watched him a good number of times this season and he says he's become one of the highly rated young players in LaLiga, right under our noses, we need him back.

[Dave]

It's hard to see Onana, Kamara, McGinn, Tielemans, Barrenechea and Wharton fitting into three spots even assuming Barkley is just back-up.

[Ads]

I dont look at our side and think the midfield is where we need to strengthen.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

No. There must be a good Uruguayan goalkeeper.

I reckon Muslera is the only one they'll every produce and he'll still be going when he's 70.

Big things were expected of Fabian Carini 25 years ago, he moved to Italy and never lived up to his potential. You’re right, they don’t seem to produce many top level keepers.

[Rigadon]

It’s the last place that needs more players.
