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

[VancouverLion]

If all we can do right now is season long loans with a buy deal, I’d prefer Rashford over Garnacho or Jack.
Cover for Ollie, play left or right wing.
Top class player and Unai wants him.

I’ll get my coat..

[Dante Lavelli]

Linked through click bait site with Tyler Dibling too. Are we hoovering up the championship’s best!

Forgotten about him.  They’d be solid signings imo.  Would set us up for the next five years.

there's worse suggestions than Rashford on this thread

[Hookeysmith]

Following on from the above, I worked with Brian Little's niece for a bit. This was early 00s and she was a bit coy about saying who he was, thinking he'd left the manager's job under a cloud. I was suitably gobsmacked and reverential once I knew.

Nice.

I was taught for a year in primary school by Peter McParland's great-niece.

She was appropriately called 'Miss McParland'.

We have a place in Spain in a little village and Brian's ex wife lives there. Very nice but very private lady.

Completely agree, just doesn’t appear to be an option sadly.

Man Yoo want a sale though don’t they?

Ron Saunders' daughter was my Spanish teacher.

Uefa warns Chelsea and Aston Villa on ‘inflated’ player swap deals

They want a sale at £40M with his wages off their books, but life isn’t that simple.

I think the last few days of the transfer window will be when it all gets resolved.

Whether we get him back on loan or he goes to another club, all depends on how much ManU are going to sweeten the deal, same with Sancho.

I can see Garnacho being sold as he’s got a bit less baggage than the other 2, but again you’d be daft to pay what ManU are asking as they will getting desperate the closer to the end of August they get.

He's also only on £50k per week, and while any club he joins is going to be paying him a lot more than that, it's not the four / five times that the other two are earning.

I once saw Ian 'sticks' Ormondroyd among other Villa players take part in a cricket match at Smethwick Cricket Club years ago. Surely I win?

Another day and we wonder who the next teenager no one has heard of will be through the door. Exciting times!

And just like that, a transfer appeared…… although I presume pre-contract agreement means some sort of trial ?

I like the cut of his jib, he seems a happy chappy.
