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

Williams looking more likely to go to Barcelona, which would close one of Rashford's doors.

I still reckon Rashford will end up back here.  Even if on loan.

Gabby got old and fat and became our record PL goalscorer. Ollie only following a winng formula.

fast forward to 2030 he'll be on Talksport with Brazil and the Moose

Brazil looks like he's unlikely to see out the next 5 months, let alone 5 years.

Yes but he's looked that way for over 10 years . He's indestructable in the mould of Keith Richards

[rooboy316]

Also seems to have got older.

Evidence?

Hopefully we will not be signing Rashford - for me in his loan spell he did okay - not worth the salary that he will want

I’d agree. Another loan would be decent business but UE is a massive fan and I think if the opportunity is there for a permanent deal he’ll take it.
He showed that pace makes a massive difference to our side but surely there’s better value out there, particularly wage wise.

Agreed. "Young and hungry", I say. Who's the next Olise / Eze / Madueke / Nico?

A winning formula that had him playing 54 games for us last season across all comps and G/A of 17/14. That's despite a very slow start last season and Duran seemingly set to push him out in the first half of the season. Rashford pushed him down the pecking order a bit in the second.

The eye test does suggest like Martinez that Ollie wasn't at his very best last season. But the raw numbers are still strong. He's as resilient as they come, would back him 100% to deliver again next season. Keep at all costs.

I was just riffing on the request for evidence a little further up
