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

Yep, not much point letting McGinn leave. At worst he's a good option from the bench cover midfield, 10 and the wings, add Bogarde as well and between then we have cover for pretty much everywhere in 2 players.

So, Martinez, Bogarde and McGinn is the team to play vs Newcastle, then?!

Seriously, I'd want to keep Ramsey, move on from Asensio and seek to recoup enough from Buendia and Bailey to fund a RCB. Then, we're done.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Disasi back on loan covering a percentage of his wages would do, as long as we don’t see him at right back.

I spot a flaw in your plan.

[IFWaters]

In a non PSR world I'd keep Ramsey but if we haven't got takers for Bailey or Buendia then maybe this is what we have to do.

Forced sales to ensure we don't challenge the Sky 6 and super league elite. How depressing.

We'd probably be fine covering all of them. Various places on the internet suggest that they're paying him around half what we're paying Dendoncker.

[PaulWinch again]

Ramsey out, Asensio in 

I'd take that.

Me too.

I think, at best, it’s a neutral impact on the squad.

I dunno. I’m not up for selling JJ, but if I compare Asensio to JJ last year the former had much more of an impact.

[PaulWinch again]

I’d like Asensio back as he brings that extra bit of quality/invention that we lack.

I thought he was pants to be honest.  Wouldn't  want him back

[pauliewalnuts]

Asensio is a player from another quality level entirely, yeah he tailed off towards the end of his stay, but the extra class he gave us early on was marvellous.

Also, don't even think of going yeah yeah Coutinho, just because one loan player failed with us, doesn't mean another one will. And Coutinho didn't even fail when he was on loan.

[PaulWinch again]

Yep agreed. It wasn’t only his movement and finishing, those high balls he killed dead out of the air were remarkable.

He certainly was at right back but considering he was part of the A squad (I presume), he’d be eligible for Europe so could be useful.

I’m happy for us to develop Bogarde for the CB option but if we did buy someone, I like that Ordonez from Brugge.

Yeah, he was one of 2 for them that stood out, the left back being the other (who is now at Brighton).

[OCD]

I read Marseille are trying to sign Ordonez with a few PL sides possibly stepping in.
