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

Talk of Yasin Özcan heading to Anderlecht on loan for the season.

If that did happen, what would people think about Disasi coming back, that's if he hasn't moved yet?

Fine. As long as it's not at right-back.

Presumably as he was on our UEFA A list last season, that punishment thing means he's one of the few players we could actually sign without it being a problem?

[Monty]

Really? Would be a very, very similar signing to Rashford or Asensio.

It really wouldn't.

Creative wide attacking player who used to be great and who everyone knows has lost his way and needs a change and might come from a Manchester club to Villa on loan?

[PaulWinch again]

We need pace out wide.

Newcastle United are likely to make a move for Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins. [

I can't believe found something even worse than him going to Man Utd but there it is.

I’ve softened my position on him returning provided he’s got the motivation to do it. And if there was anywhere he’d be motivated you’d think it would be us and under Emery. Going to Moyes and Everton hardly tickles the loins.

[Dave]

Seems fine to me. They get £130m for Isak, we'll take £100m of it for Ollie.

[placeforparks]

Maresca's done a great job with them but they'll likely implode again. They'll probably get rid of Maresca and start the cycle all over again.

given they've hardly had a break due to the club world cup, it seems inevitable they'll hit a rough patch. really interested to see what happens.

[Drummond]

Yep that's the only way I can see it happening. The problem then is who we bring in to replace him.. Duran? Osimhen? Jackson?

I can also see Newcastle going for Grealish.

I think you answered the question with your “used to be great” quote Monty. I’m very much in the I don’t want him back camp though.

[Clampy]

I think a few more people are warming towards Jack coming back because it's been so quiet on the transfer front.

[Somniloquism]

Everton seems to be after Dibling so less chance of Jack going there.

Yep. Awful.

[Somniloquism]

Did Isak post a picture of him as a kid in a Liverpool shirt or is it fake?

That's fine! Just saying it's similar to transfers we've done very recently indeed.
