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

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

A Bowen transfer doesn't make sense for January.  It would mean West Ham have given up, and they're not quite dead and buried yet; and what it would cost for us to get him wouldn't make sense for a player who is nearly 30 years old - even in the summer window.

He'd be great for the team, but not a transfer that makes much sense financially or age-profile wise.

Not likely a popular view but I’d take a punt on Toney on loan. Anywhere near his brentford form and we’d have a serious striker there. Great in the air, penalties and a killer in front of goal.

Not for me, we seem to have a great team spirit and he's a dickhead.

Toney isn't coming back to the UK anytime soon. The amount of tax he would have to pay if he did means it's not going to happen.

Oscar Bobb and Marmoush available shortly.

Marmoush would be quality for us

[Goldenballs]

Get Elmo to have a word.

I’d take Bowen all day long, but it’s a bit arrogant to think we can just snap up a player like that out on loan.
There will be a queue a mile long when he becomes available.

There will be I’m sure.  I don’t think it is arrogant though; West Ham will not want to sell their talisman and I cannot see the player agitating for a move either.  We help them out by paying his wages and he gets top level football without destroying his relationship with the fans. When they get promoted he returns.

Oscar Bobb and Marmoush available shortly.

Marmoush would be quality for us

marmoush and Rogers .. angel delight there

[Brazilian Villain]

Marmoush would be quality for us

Would be good for a song too.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Omar Marmoush, Omar Marmoush, will you do the Fandango?
His thunderbolts are lightning, very, very frightening....

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Oscar Bobb and Marmoush available shortly.

Marmoush would be quality for us

Would they want to sell to a rival.

[Steve67]

Why would Marmoush be available?

[Gareth]

Guess because the press are saving Semenyo wants to go to Man City there will be a forward available to go out

[PeterWithesShin]

I only want Marmoush if he can do the Mamushka.

[Dante Lavelli]

Guess because the press are saving Semenyo wants to go to Man City there will be a forward available to go out

Don’t they play on opposite sides?  Oscar Bobb more likely to be bumped by a Semenyo signing (I suppose they also need to pretend to balance the books).
