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

Probably decent but not obscene wages. Decent because he was free, but not obscene as there was hardly a long line of clubs trying to throw money at him.

I imagine he'd be earning the lowest of our four centre-backs, befitting his role in the squad.

Albeit "lowest" still resulting in him getting millions of pounds per season.

For me Rashford and Asensio came in and were instantly two of our best players, with regular first teamers being dropped for them. Guessand looks miles off it in this league. Elliot, a complete mystery and not making matchday squads? Sancho and Lindelhof on megabucks and getting a few minutes here and there is not ideal.

Is Lindelof on megabucks?

For minutes played yes, £100000 a week was rumoured. Sancho £160000 a week. Guessand and Elliot won't be on peanuts either. £ per minutes for this lot must be frightening. At least Rashford / Asensio delivered and didn't need bedding in, expensive as they were

Seems about the going rate tbh.

Transfer windows are about the players you sell and keep, not just the ones you buy.

Absolutely, but the point stands around sustainability. You do need some of the players you bring in to make a quicker impact.

Edit to say this is in response to Mr Winch.

That may be the case, but is that down to the manager rather than the players?

Yep that’s fair. It’s a combination, but I can’t imagine any of the attackers has done what was hoped.
