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

Just watching Sky Transfer Talk
The analysis on us and understanding is incredibly poor

People saying Semenyo would have been a good fit, which I don’t disagree with but what about Ademola Lookman.

More a summer purchase, when we can spend a bit more, but he’s been brilliant for Atalanta, had a falling out with Gasperini but back in favour with their new boss. Wide player or second striker, knows the league, very experienced and cheaper than Semenyo.

I'd happily take Wilson, think he would be a really smart signing that would be an excellent squad player.

Agreed. He's still only 28, and has 14 goals in the last two seasons (in 47 games).

Good player but he’s in Fulham’s first team most weeks, would we be able to offer the same?

Not sure that's what he'd be looking for in his next move. He's done "bench at a big club", he's now done "important first team player at a mid-range club", I reckon his next move is "earning more money as a squad player at a big club to get some European nights and maybe a medal or two"

We're the sort of club that I expect he'd be looking at to do that. He'd get plenty of opportunity to play for us, even if weren't starting very often.

Incidentally...

I've said I think he absolutely fits the bill for us, exactly the age Emery likes, knows his game, suits a few positions in our setup and available on a free.

He's got a great name. It sounds like a lyric to a Nile Rodgers sex track, which is my favourite kind of sex track. Get him in.

That is good scouting SE 💪

"I feel your love, Lookman"

Yes, gerrim' in.

Fulham are strongly linked with signing Oscar Bobb this month. Maybe with a view to him replacing Harry Wilson?

[eamonn]

No, replacing Traore Adama and the oiliest biceps that ever moved to Nile Rodgers.

He turned 30 yesterday by the way, (Adama, not Nile).

The problem with Lookman is he's had 3 shots in the premier league and been average in all of them.

Oscar Bobb looks good though, if he's moving it's one I'd be interested in.

[LeeB]

Oscar Bobb sounds like a French disco star of the late 70's that worked with Nile Rogers to produce some underground hits, but never enjoyed the mainstream appeal in the wider market that he had at home.

He sounds like a blowjob in the back of a Hackney cab.

Is that the Cockney slang for it then ?

No, replacing Traore Adama and the oiliest biceps that ever moved to Nile Rodgers.

The moment he loses his pace, I expect to see him drop off the face of the footballing earth pretty quickly.  He's a pretty average footballer, who is very strong and very quick.  Without the latter, the former don't do much for him - if anything, his size will be a hindrance the moment his pace starts going.

I knew he was at Everton but having looked didn’t realise he’d also been on loan at Leicester and Fulham. I agree he didn’t pull up any trees then but he’s more experienced now but my main point was he’s a similar player to Semenyo, slightly older but would be cheaper. Plus UE can work his magic on him.

I was just throwing his name out there as we’ve not been linked.

[lovejoy]

We really don't want to be signing any players nearing 30 on long contracts.
