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

Guessand should be judged against his forebear, the half-useless Emile Heskey.

[Garyth]

Happy to have a sportman's (or £) bet that the Guessmeister won't have 10 goals and 10 assists between now and the end of 2026/27

Hmm, I think there's a chance he gets these in 18 months - maybe 25% (mostly on Emery's track record, rather than what we've seen of Guessand).

[Goldie.7]

Just had a look at players whose contracts are expiring in the summer (and therefore may be available for a lower fee in January) on Transfermarkt.

Forwards:

I don't think we'd be in for the big strikers in there (Gnabry, Lewandowski, Vlahovic); but noticed Harry Wilson in there. Didn't realise he was 28, but would be a great technical player to add to the squad.

Only forward on that list who sparks my interest is our good friend El Kaabi. I’m not remotely concerned that he’s the same age as Kane, because his career record is one goal every 1.72 games. Ridiculous.
