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

[Dave]

Yeah, if chucking big money at a right-back to replace Cash had been in our plans, we wouldn't have spent £7m on Garcia in January.

[PaulWinch again]

Cash is much less of a problem than only having 3 senior centre-backs and the lack of a wide forward with pace.

I'd be fuming if we wasted what little money we have available on central midfield, even if it were Dougie

Is the right answer…

As much as Dougie is a good player we absolutely have 4/5 positions to fill before centre mid

Nearly correct…..
Let’s get it right, it’s not what little money we have available, it’s what little money we are ALLOWED to spend by the pathetic rules that now control the game and protect 6 clubs.

We do need an upgrade for Cash, but he's not the dead weight a lot of posters want to make him out to be. I think he's possibly gone as far as he can under Emery, but he's a solid player for us and if we are financially hampered this window, it's not a position I'd prioritise spending it.

[Ian.]

Cash is at times frustrating going forward, but still very decent and he can defend. I’m happy to go into next season with him.

Left mid, with pace, is the most pressing for me.

RB and CB cover, right wing and back-up striker.

Left mid, with pace, is the most pressing for me.

Left or right, we just need some pace, it’s just such a good option to have and can open a team up.

[john2710]

With the gaps in the squad & the restrictions we're under, an upgrade on Cash is a low priority.

A right sided centre back, a wide player who can play up front. But I think any incoming will be loans.

[ozzjim]

We need a good centre half ideally right sided with a bit of pace and strength, and a right winger with genuine pace and a trick or 2. If we could then find another forward on loan, great, but if not have to go with what we have, albeit short for a Thursday Sunday schedule.
