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

I notice Dirty Leeds are trying to sign Jaka Bijol, the Slovenian CB who played well in the last Euros; a two-footed ball-playing CB.
Which is nice.

Is he really on disproportionally big wages?  I know this has been the general thinking, but he was on big wages when we were mid-table and struggling.  Surely most of the squad will have caught up with him by now?

A bit of a non sequitur, Chris, unless I'm missing something very subtle.

I'm assuminhg sa misquote and he was talking about Digne.

Rashford was great for us but have big reservations he will consistently  do it for us over a whole season.

I have reservations too.
I’m not sure he ‘was great’ for us. He did ok in flashes.

I’d much rather we played Rogers in that position and we brought in a quality wide right player to replace Bailey.

This is my take on it too, I think spending the money on Rashford is a risk.

Yeah I don’t see Rashford staying all eager and bushy tailed once he gets a permanent contract. Maybe I’ve bought into the Man U narrative, but that’s my gut feeling

So it's 5 years to the day since we "stayed-up" by "cheating". Y'know, the day Nyland and Davis fucked-up but got away with it. Nil-all against Sheffield United. Dean Henderson in goal for them was man of the match #justsayin

We've come a long way baby, whatever happens this summer...

Small Heath will still be bleating about it in another 5 years, i'm glad it winds so many people up.
It's like the Geordies who still mention that banner.
We've all moved on, let them moan and groan.

When  we are mist quiet usually its when we are at our impressive  best with transfers tbh

Hopefully  history repeats itself

Harvey Elliott seems to be main link that's actually believable.

Think he is a very good player. If it wernt for his injury record its a no brainer for me

His spaghetti hair is infuriating. It's not even al dente.

Indeed, Juan Pablo Angel hair was far superior.

You mean the greatest save of all times


One day I’m having the moment tattooed on my arm

[Londonvilla]

Aston Villa are interested in signing 23-year old Dynamo Kyiv striker, Vladyslav Vanat.
@GraemeBailey

[cdbearsfan]

Ooh new country. Get him in.

Wasn’t aware of an injury record, that said I don’t notice much outside of Villa.
As you say, very good player who I think would do very well in our system

[ozzjim]

Elliott looks like a decent fit for us, plenty of potential and could play on the right which would be good.

Broke his leg didn’t he? Played a hundred games since I think.
