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

[PeterWithe]

I'm clinging on to the thought that one of the reasons Malen wants out, more exposure in a WC year, might mean other, better players are also looking for opportunities in a team at the top end of the highest profile league in the world.

We might not be in a strong position financially, but there are a number of reasons for any prospective signing to join, it's not a hard sell.

Harvey Elliot anyone? Heard he’s an ok’ish number 10

Billy Elliot would get more minutes..ffs

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Tammy in pure playing ability terms is an okish back up. If he’s on high wages it’s a ridiculous signing.

A six month loan to see us through to the end of the season I could live with but buying him would be like us preparing for the Conference League rather than the Champions League.

What does this bit mean;

“Other targets likely known to PL already.”

Paul Lambert. We’re back into young and hungry mode.

[Percy McCarthy]

Deloitte Report is usually out within the next 10 days that will help update those Turnover numbers with some confidence.

Percy's on the case. As soon as it drops, his night-shift productivity will fall through the floor and his poor colleague Brian will have to pick up the slack. I wish I didn't notice these things.

Haha! It’ll probably drop in the daytime and I won’t see it til I wake up.

Prediction: 13th.

Revenue: £360m/€400m.

as long as we dont meet Malen in the europa final

[Sexual Ealing]

Which we obviously will.

I do think one thing we can take away from the transfer window is just how ruthless (in a good way) Unai is.

He has resisted playing Elliott, prepared to sell Malen (out of the blue), refuses to take Bailey back and appears to be willing to allow Guessand to go.

The guy know what he wants !!!!!!

[VILLA MOLE]

Guessand going ?  our new centre forward ??

Agree.  We would have situation in a year or so where we’d need to shift Tammy and Watkins to create the space/wages to sign our first choice striker. Whoever we sign must have the potential to be Ollie’s successor, not just a six month fix (unless a loan).
