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

[Smirker]

Danny Ings is only 33...

And I would take him on a free until the end of the season.

[Smirker]

From now on, Smirker isn't in charge of ideas.

haha

[Dave]

It's obviously a terrible idea now, but I reckon we should have definitely chucked £10m at Palace the season we came back up instead of £20m on Wesley. He wasn't that important to them and left on a free the following season.

Some players just fit a club - and even at 30, Benteke, with Grealish, McGinn, Mings et al, with a back-in-the-Premier--League Villa Park instead of Palace's mob fully behind him - I reckon it would have just worked.

[PaulWinch again]

I’m still hoping we can get Asensio back in the summer.

[PeterWithesShin]

I like him but at nearly 30 he's hardly a good long term investment.

Hahaha, now I know you're on a wind up. Danny Ings with zero goals (or assists though we don't count them) in the Championship this season... And the grand total of 2 goals in the past three seasons...

[Ian.]

So for the last six months or so you’ve been jumping up and down ranting about Ollie and your answer is Benteke or Ings?

[rooboy316]

Bring Keinan home.

[aj2k77]

If we're still around 4th after our usual hard as fuck December do we have the wiggle room to go for it like we did last January?

[cdbearsfan]

I doubt it. And if we do, they'll change the rules so that we don't.

[Rigadon]

I’d imagine we can and will look to do loans.  We need a Rashford style impact.

I was trying to think of someone in a similar situation to what he was that needs rescuing but I'm struggling.

And unless we're going to pay Liverpool a load of money to send Elliott back, they need to be from abroad as we can't have more than two domestic ones.

[cdbearsfan]

Chiesa? Sterling?

Surely we won’t keep Elliot - it’d be mad to carry on like this for all parties.
