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

[shipscat]

I would be disapointed if we finished below them.  Clearly some reinforcenents would help - but I would still much rather be in the position we are then where Man Utd are. 

In players like Matasaan, Garcia, Onana and Malen we have a number of players who could easily kick on. And I just dont see someone like Unai standing for us not being competitive next season - by hook or by crook he wont go in significantly underbaked.

I am struggling a bit to get motivated for this season though.  To be honest the ticket costs, the hideous last game of the season / palace no show, combined with the financial restraints clearly making it way harder for us then it should be is making me we worry we have seen the peak

t's a really good point that there's a number of players that have had a bare introduction to Emery-ball last season, and hopefully they'll all crack on in the improvement stakes, as the previously acquired purchases have done. Allied to this, we have members of the squad who missed a significant part or struggled with fitness, which is an enhanced factor if you miss the pre-season; Ming's, Ramsey, Kamara-All important players. A couple of additions-Right wing and centre half cover and I feel we'll be pushing.

Think we'll be active and trading once we either or a as a combination: a; move on the unrequired squad; b. the right deal for the right project player c. there's a deal to be had after this batch of expensive trading the top spenders have engaged in; d. the loan market will open up in accompaniment with c.

We've absolutely smashed it in recruitment terms over the past 4/5 years, I am hopeful this will continue.

I've just heard a whisper we are lining up a loan for Felix.
I do really hope this is a wind up but if nothing else it's depth and experience. It supposedly will be a late loan potentially after the season starts.
He's normally quite reliable but I have a feeling he's pulling my pud on this one.
Vinnie have you heard anything similar?

[LeeB]

It's less a whisper and more of an echo.

Less an echo, more a disturbance

Unai's got a semi for Felix, but he also likes Ferran Torres and Garnacho.
Can't see him signing all 3.

Will he bring Robbie Williams with him?

No mate. As far as i last heard he was off to Benfica

VillaWhispers - the guy in the know til he sold the naming rights to a nightclub in Nechelles.

I reckon it'll be Garnacho or Grealish on a season long loan.
And hopefully a right sided centre half.
That's our lot.

[OCD]

Wonder if we had an idea this was going to happen and bringing in players on huge wages like Rashford and Asensio gives us some room on wages

That's our lot.

I think Garnacho will eventually have offers from clubs in the CL. He's a very talented player and it's a bit ridiculous Man United are pushing him out while bringing Mbuemo in for a lot more money.

Grealish seems the more likely for us and him.

[ozzjim]

I think Garnacho would become a talisman under Emery for us.

[Rigadon]

Why are Man Utd selling Garnacho?  And Rashford?  I don't get it.

We get linked to Felix every window - and every window Felix choses something else.  There was a time when I thought he might be a good loan - but now I think hell make Zanilio look like pele

I can see something like this happening
