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

Looked up Strand Larsen and they paid £27m for him, so would want £30m+

Don’t think we would throw that much at a back up for Ollie

£40m is what they're apparently quoting West Ham, having rejected £55m from Newcastle in the summer.

The next time we spend big money on a striker it should be on Ollie's long term replacement, not his reserve.

The only argument is when that should happen.

We need a Duran type that isn't bonkers. Someone that will be ok with maybe taking a year or two of sub and cup starts while learning to take over from Ollie.

Spot on.  Aim a couple of years younger but with a higher ceiling.  we could probably have two attempts at signing this bloke before Watkins is done and hopefully both could step up.
