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

[Percy McCarthy]

I still don't think Buendia affects games enough and is usually the first player dragged off.  Finding a longer term replacement for him would be my number 1 target, perhaps not Paqueta though.

Said it many times, he’s a great sub, right from the days when he used to replace Coutinho.

He can put some lovely defence splitting passes in and a threat in front of goal. But is so lightweight, easily out-muscled and loses the ball.

If we can out manoeuvre the lovely rules and strengthen this month we really could do something incredible this season.

That's Plan A. Plan B is to get you to start all the match threads.

Solid agree. Every single one. So you'd better let your family and colleagues know of your reduced availability, Rigadon.

That's so 2023/24. There are far worse players in the team that give the ball away but seem to go under the radar, Rogers for one. It's all part of the attacking midfield/10 role. Not everything comes off. Just ask Youri, SJM etc.

Just going on what I am seeing, no matter what year it is. Rogers is so much stronger on the ball as is Youri.

On it. 

[Rigadon]

Shame for Percy though.  He’s going to have to sit out all remaining home games.

I will explain the seriousness of the matter to our friend. He will see that it's in his interests to come to an agreement.

Emi B has been holding his own this season. Today is the first time his being 'pushed off the ball' has been mentioned this season. Youri had numerous complaints to the ref of being fouled/pushed off the ball, it was pretty much all Forest had to contribute. I'm just glad the lads came out of the game unscathed.

Not just today, he just isn't physically strong enough. He has done well in patches but IMO is not quite at the level we need

I have to say, I think it’s a legitimate criticism of Buendia being easily out muscled. It isn’t just today. Leeds and Chelsea away spring immediately to mind also. He was snuffed out with ease with a bit of physical attention. I also agree that he’s a better impact sub than starter.

I like the look of that mane of wolves.

[Smirker]

Looks like there's something to the Marmoush thing. Would be a fantastic signing imo.
