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

[AV84]

Moreno was fantastic until he got injured. Digne really stepped up a level in his absence and Moreno never seemed to get back to where he started for us. If that version of Moreno is still there then maybe Digne could be sacrificed, but I wouldn't want to bet on it.

Even Monchi deserves a 10 day summer holiday.

I would say going on holiday when the 1st window opens is not a great idea....this is when he does his stuff. He can have a holiday in Barmouth once the window closes.

Nonsense.

He's clearly more of a "caravan in Dawlish" man.

I’m not so sure. Only people from South Devon and the Midlands seem to know where Dawlish is.

Yep, when Ramsey got injured and then Moreno left we really lost something down the left that was absolute dynamite in spring 2023.

Seems very credible to me, he's a Spanish speaker and his surname begins with 'R'. Here we go!

Young, but there is something about him that I like

GERARD MARTIN SALDRÍA SI LLEGA GRIMALDO

Si Grimaldo aterriza, el principal damnificado sería Gerard Martin, que saldría traspasado.
Interés fuerte de Bournemouth, Aston Villa y Brighton en él. También de Serie A y Bundesliga.

El Barcelona negociaría un traspaso a partir de los 15M. Una cesión, ahora mismo, parece inviable.

They are linking us to another left-back to drum up interest in the player

Aston Villa have become the latest club to show an interest in signing England winger Jadon Sancho, 25, from Manchester United following his loan at Chelsea. (Teamtalk)

Noooooooooooooooo!

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah, I like a winger. But he's failed too often and for too long now. Something isn’t right there, and I'd rather not gamble the required astronomical fee/wages that we are the club that could turn it around.

[ozzjim]

Sancho any better than Bailey?

[PeterWithesShin]

Sancho strikes me as someone that could go either way. Under a good manager and if he stops thinking it's fine to always be late and learns to be a professional then he has the ability. Or he carries on as he is and bounces around clubs with each move a step down. I wouldn't want to be the club taking him on permanently, although if anyone can do it then it's Unai.

[cdbearsfan]

Not on the basis of their respective form since arriving in England, no.

[andyh]

Sancho ?
I really thought we were long done with signing basket case players.

[LeonW]

Sancho any better than Bailey?

Probably not. I think he lacks the pace to play in premier league and his attitude stinks. His wages will be astronomical. It would be an absolute no for me.

[Bosco81]

If Sancho wouldn’t take a pay cut to go to Chelsea I can’t see him coming here.
