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

[PaulWinch again]

We need leadership, but in terms of actual playing attributes we really badly need more pace.

[aj2k77]

I'd expect Bailey, Mings, Watkins, Kamara, Cash and Martinez to be off. I'd also sell McGinn. Rebuild time.

[Holy Trinity]

Mings and Mcginn will be more than good enough for europa games so wouldn't rush to sell either really. There is going to be a very large turnover this summer either way so keeping the experienced guys like that around will help.

[LeonW]

I think we do need a big overhaul. It’s whether we’ll be able to is the question.

Put cash at the start of the list please. I’d put Torres on there too, but that won’t happen

I wonder if Pau is going to become Emery’s blind spot.

I saw an interview with Ramsey and Rogers and they said Torres and Kamara are Emery's favourites and can do no wrong. Everyone else cops bollockings.

Torres is highly effective against some teams and is useful to have in the squad. The palace semi final really stands out as a bad call on Emery’s part.

Going to? Torres...and far too tolerant of Rogers when he's miles off it. Every manager has at least one

I get that. We’ve seen how useful Torres can be. But only in certain games. Mings has been available and not utilized and at times, it hasn’t made sense. Particularly when Emery has been unafraid to haul off some.

People expecting an all new XI after a shit defeat is always a little baffling. How often does that happen?

People are expecting certain players to want Champions League football and us not have the money to keep the loans add to that a certain amount of churn anyway and the squad will be in a greater flux than normal.

I would go with this, plus Asensio will go as will Rashford, I would also add Rogers to this, I find it almost impossible to believe that somebody won't offer Rogers CL football and he will take it.

So in essence, the Villa that started this season will be so different next season.

[cdbearsfan]

We finished one place outside the Champions League. I think finetuning rather than a massive overhaul is required.

He might take it - I would be astonished if anyone offers remotely close enough to what we’d be prepared to sell him for though.
