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

Just seen the Sancho story. Surely we wouldn’t touch that would we?

Beggars and choosers mate

Osula from Newcastle linked.

This like watching haggard husbands shopping on Christmas Eve for their nearest and dearest.

Ah, I was worried we might've run out of players we can feasibly loan out then sell on at a modest profit 12 months later.  Definitely bring him in, it'll fill that gap for sure.

We are not skint, we are screwed by financial rules. Those same rules are seemingly ignored by other clubs though, seemingly.

We are indeed screwed by the rules.

Other clubs are also bound by them, they're just able to work inside them because they generate lots of money, nobody is ignoring the rules.

We've got a clearly unhappy squad, so adding a team-oriented, popular player like Sancho to it would be an absolute genius move.

Unfortunately  it does appear so. Panic mode by monchi.this is the best he could find?

Plenty of upside potential then.

Young and hungry.

Just dredge Nile Ranger up from some Geordie drugs den and have done with it.

[Walmley_Villa]

Is Neal Maupay available??

[pauliewalnuts]

There was a private jet pencilled in for today from Antwerp to BHX (which would suggest that goal keeper).

That has now been changed, and the same jet is going from Brum to Copenhagen and back today. It also did a trip to Stockholm and back yesterday.

re the Antwerp plane, there is now a plane booked from Antwerp to Manchester, which suggests the keeper is going there.

Will Osula. Fuck me.

[Monty]

Yup. Roma fans did warn us, and wasn't his second spell at Sevilla a bit of a shit show? Vague recollection, I don't know owt about it, though.

Hard to tell with Sevilla, as they were busy being inventively shit in every other department as well.

But mainly because they'd built a mediocre, aging squad, for high transfer fees and with high wages so when they needed to sell, they were left to sell the few younger, promising players that they'd rather have kept.

All of which was down to Monchi.

This...I...um, well this isn't as untrue as I'd like.

[ChicagoLion]

Will Osula. Fuck me.

Have you asked him?

[VILLA MOLE]

Will Osula. Fuck me.

Have you asked him?

Post of the day.  Bravo
