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

[Steve67]

I could see that having legs, if we do end the Elliott loan to free up a spot I could see us looking at him as an option for a few months in a similar way to the Rashford loan.

I hope so Paul, cracking player, very busy and would make a welcome addition.  Pep and Unai seem to get on as well, might do us a favour.   I also wonder if we go back in for Paqueta if Vinnie is right about the number 10 role.

Some dodgy Egyptian website has us linked to Marmoush. 

As the saying goes. Fuck yeah !!!!!!!

Why would Man City want to help us out, though?

Surely Nas can have a word.

Hubris, maybe?

The link is genuine I think but depends on elliot leaving.
I'm sure even Vinnie mentioned him earlier in the thread

They have no problem selling to rivals.

Arsenal and Chelsea have taken players recently.

This is true. They probably don't see us as a proper threat, also.

They also have to pretend to comply with the financial rules.

Hope not. Blowing our wad on Paqueta would be insane. After one last payday, did another amazing Swan Lake impression the other day. Yes, he can play a killer pass but he's often a liability with his poor workrate off the ball and the constant diving that refs are now wise to.

Paqueta is a great player on his day, but I'm not sure he's a significant upgrade on the version of Emi B we've seen this season?  Up to this season, he'd definitely be seen as an upgrade - but now? Emi's level has really gone up a notch, so I'm not sure he's a big enough upgrade to blow any significant funds on him?

[Steve67]

I still don't think Buendia affects games enough and is usually the first player dragged off.  Finding a longer term replacement for him would be my number 1 target, perhaps not Paqueta though.
