Winter 25-26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[DB]

Can understand people feeling a bit jittery about our early transfer business, but I remember feeling the same early in the summer window and it all turned out just fine… oh.

We are joint 2nd in the league.

Highest earner at the club is Sancho.

If this is true, then it’s not only heartbreaking, it’s fucking criminal.

[N'ZMAV]

be a shame to lose Malen. It would be a huge blow to the squad, the only position we're really short.

Absolutely not complaining and understand we’re being held back by rules that are designed to do just that. Just hoping, like many, that we can work some magic and pull something out of the bag. It’s such a great opportunity to kick on.

[TheToffnar]

Manure will have an absolute mare shifting him after this season.

If one of the best man managers in Europe can't get a consistent tune out of him, no one can.

[London Villan]

Unai can smell the league title, there is no way he would let Malen go if the club didn't have a plan. Not a chance.

There is a plan...

[Brazilian Villain]

One thing for sure. When we do have some money to spend, we won't have a lot of deadwood to shift.

[Toronto Villa]

We are definitely down to the bare bones of saleable assets who might be deemed surplus for the right offer. Malen, Buendia, Bogarde, Garcia have a value. But players like Ross Barkley, Lindelof, Mings, even Lucas don’t have much if we are trying to raise funds. I wouldn’t want us selling, moving out anyone else in an effort to buy new players. Certainly not in January.

We didn't give him his contract.

We agreed to pay whatever percentage of it we pay to make him our highest earner though.

I was presuming the original quote was that he was the highest earner at Villa.
In which case, we took that on.

I doubt it. His contract runs out at the end of the season.

[brontebilly]

Sancho free to land a permanent deal next summer for himself from this month? Wasters like him are incentivised to run down their contracts doing the square root of f*ck all. More attractive book value in summer when out of contract. Highlights the insanity of the current regs.

Granted Tielemans arguably did the same at Leicester for last 18 months there but he delivered a lot for them before then.

[Rudy65]

My only memory of Gallagher was the goal he scored in the 2-2 at VP a couple of years ago. I’d rather forget him to be honest.

I'd gone for a piss and missed it, was sat with Risso and it was honestly a good 5 minutes before I realised they'd scored.

No fits of rage from Risso, like the occasional ones on here?!

One day he'll come back hand in hand with Bad English and Dogtanian.

Whatever happened to those three?

A couple of them were amongst the highest posters on the forum, so they were shipped out to Villa Talk to comply with Poster Sustainability Regulations.
