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

If the thoughts are we sell Onana for Saudi money, and have Enzo takes his place then I can see the thinking as it then means the Onana money can be used in other areas rather than on a replacement.

[PaulWinch again]

Is Enzo a particularly physical player?

[Rigadon]

Selling Onana would be a weird one after just one season.  Both for him and the club.

Although Diaby suggests there's pretty solid precedent when there's Saudi money involved.

.

True.  I suppose the only difference is that Onana has settled in more than Diaby seemed to. If it was a choice between selling Onana and any of the other midfielders, I could live with it if we made a profit.

I don't think it's a coincidence Saudi keep coming in for expensive players who aren't nailed on first XI. Diaby, Duran, probably Bailey, possibly Onana. Swairis' influence perhaps.

Good player that Swairis apart from all the biting.

[Mellin]

I even checked the spelling FFS.

You would think it would happen more with Newcastle.

[TonyD]

Do you think we might actually sign a right back?

[kippaxvilla2]

We signed one in January.

[N'ZMAV]

maybe we need a proven one

Luiz back to replace Onana, Grealish to replace Rashford and Asensio 🤝 Enzo more to replace Barkley.

Diaby was maybe about par after the first season? Disappointing he moved on but Saudi money was welcome. Any hope of getting our money back on Onana has to be taken.

[Clampy]

I think the difference is Diaby apparently nearly went to Saudi before he joined us. I don't see any need in getting rid of Onana at the moment.

[Drummond]

Given it's us and ManU who are under the most FFP pressure, is there a potential Garnacho = Martinez deal to be done?

[Richard E]

I certainly hope not.

Don’t quite understand the link, because he’s form another Arab country?
