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

Best player at VP last season was the Portuguese winger I can't spell at Juve. He's who I want.

[PaulWinch again]

That’s obviously a nonsense story.

[Rigadon]

Has emery ever been bought a player who he didn’t improve? Or one who turned into a right twat attitude wise?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Thought that Martin was Barca's best player other than Yamal, in the Champion's League Semi-Finals.

Sancho meant to be trouble, even back in his Dortmund days, couldn't be bothered to turn up to training.

[Olneythelonely]

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

We probably are. TeamTalk have likely made it up.

On Sancho, I've not seen him play much so I have no idea as to his ceiling talent wise, but I suppose people were saying similar things about Rashford before he joined on loan.  My question slightly above was in relation to that Sancho rumour too - has Emery ever sanctioned a transfer like that and it's not worked out because the player was a twat.  He seems to have improved every payer since he arrived and there never seems to be any attitude problems with the squad - given our place in the pecking order those two things are really important. 

I know he had problems with some players at Arsenal, but I'm guessing they were not players brought in?

[frank black]

Hopefully we offer Sancho a contract befitting of his quality and past contributions to his team.

Then, he definitely won’t join us.

[Mister E]

Conceciao was at Jive, on loan from Porto or Sporting

Oh yeah, he could move, daddio.

[brontebilly]

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

Probably haggling for a pay out from Man United. Those signings OGS brought in that summer for Man United were all absolute disasters, Varane and CR7 were finished and Sancho signed to play RW but wanted to play on left! Those three were meant to deliver them the PL title.

Don't think Sancho is a good fit for PL football. Chelsea under Maresca should have been ideal but he was mixed enough. The goal v Betis was classic Sancho, icing on cake stuff.

yes. Jaden Philogene bidace. One of the worst players ever to wear the shirt.

Should have scored in the last few minutes at home against United to win the game too.

[PeterWithesShin]

In a world of Drinkwater, Tonev, Cissokho, Richards, Glover, Norton, Bowery etc Philogene is far far from being anywhere near the worst. He just wasn't good enough for a CL chasing side.

[ozzjim]

Balaban pound for pound has to be the worst.

[Monty]

Yeah I thought that was almost deliriously harsh.
