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

[PeterWithesShin]

Some speculation that we're in talks with Arsenal to sign Leandro Trossard......thoughts if true?

I reckon Unai can get a tuna out of him.

[Brazilian Villain]

20 million euros on a 3 year deal. Was being banded around yesterday.

Ah. As you were then, I’d prefer we spent the money and wages elsewhere if possible.

DCL is still a free agent, so be careful what you wish for.

He’s not, he signed for Leeds

Not yet, there's still time for a late swoop if we want to net him.

[AGRIPPA]

imo I think we’d be mad to spend £20m on Asensio plus his biggish wages.
I’d be open to another loan.

Surely there’s no fee involved ….they just want him off their books??

[eamonn]

It's weird, I used to hate loans but now I'm all for them. Players on big wages, if they don't come off just send the fuckers back. There's no loyalty any more, Ramsey doesn't give a feck about us, Emi has been talking to Yanited since January, they're all on-loan. So yeah, Trossard, he's a boring bastard in interviews and has been going grey since he was a kid but for nine months can I stomach that? Sure.

Probably looking for us to get them off the hook for his wages.

We'll land him for sure.

Surely we're just chumming the water too see who bites right now.

I'd really like that El Khanous say Leicester, think he's got something.

Me too. Or that fella at Everton I’ve been on about for years and still can’t mind how to spell his name.

N’Diaye? (I think I’ve cracked it).

Christ this thread has been carping on for months and still we have only signed one first teamer and a few minnows.

Agreed. The ace in our hand is always Emery. He will improve pretty much every player he gets. As long as the player wants it. So by the deadline there will be players who are very good that will realize they won’t be getting game time and want a move. There will clubs a bit more desperate to sell players and they will be looking to make deals. We seemingly have locked up everyone or at least the key ones aren’t going anywhere short of a mental bid. So I expect some surprises yet in the market before the deadline. And if we can shift Donck, Bailey, Moreno it gives a little more room to operate.

But apparently our recruitment policy is much lauded.

[Toronto Villa]

This entire thread is a red herring

[algy]

Completely lost it’s porpoise

I reckon you're really AD and he uses the CD account to catfish us.
