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

Ferguson from Brighton via rome seems to have lost his way a bit so would be cheap. strong, knows where the net is, technically better than the likes of strand-laursen

Lost his way would be an understatement. Can't or won't run seems to be his biggest issue.

No thanks - a bad idea. Sure he may be 80m in 4 years time but he is more likely to be playing for Plymouth

I took a punt on him in the new Football Manager and he took us to the title scoring a goal a game.

Sorry if this has been said , but do we have someone lined up in January that needs to be paid for with the £35 million if we have for Elliott and that is why we are holding up on games

Think it is more that Unai doesn’t want to spend £35m on him at all and would rather have that money to spend elsewhere be it in January or next summer.

It’s an odd situation…you’d presume Liverpool don’t want him back but if he stays all season and doesn’t play again we won’t have triggered the £35m and his value will have plummeted for others to buy.  On the flip side if they lift that clause so he is an option to play for us and he does well we are a direct competitor to them now as they are in the gaggle of clubs for whom 3rd is the best can do.  Tricky one.

The new DoF has probably been given the budget to go and prove himself.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

No. Because he can't play for anyone other than Villa or Liverpool this season.

Any idea why Barry didn’t take the penalty?

WARCHEST!!!!!

Think it'll be a Duran-esque punt this Jan if we do any business at all - and that's regardless of whether Elliott goes back or not.

I'd rather have better cover than Lidelof for the £ we're forking out there n'all. But expect that might be one for the summer.

Got too comfy and fat in Brighton. I can empathise.

Jacob Tanswell reckons we'll be in for Kaio Jorge in January,  a 23 year old Brazilian striker at Cruzeiro. Scored 21 goals in 32 games this season and has recently been called up to the national team.
