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

[SoccerHQ]

Way I see it we have the squad now to get 3rd. Probably not to be challenging for the league in April.

Big question mark now is can we get over the line in Europa league especially if we have a few injuries in the run in. That could be where adding two more players and one with good experience would be very useful indeed for the business end of the season.

Mings*, Garcia and Elliott are probably the only ones we can remove from the current UEFA squad unless we sell someone unexpectedly.

* Mings is officially still in the squad as we used the injury clause to replace him with Barkley but that expires when the player replaced is fit again.

We need players for the second half of the premier league campaign not the Europa.

Might bringing Dobbin back be an option? Played plenty of football and seems to be doing ok at Preston and could be used as a pace option on bench.  We are still very thin out wide

[eamonn]

It would be some turn-around in his career if we did take him back and give him a run. Up to now, he's been seen as a sad little horse in a wet field with no pals to canter around with.

Aston Villa to bid £15 million for Edvin Austbø in January. Viking value him at £22-29 million.

Villa knows about Leverkusen, Leeds and Sunderland interest and fears a bidding war could occur.

Looks a little small

a wide forward ? Bit like Shakiri

[AV82EC]

His hips don’t lie.

Shaq? The squattest fucker playing at a high level since Andy Reid and we've already got a stooping meatball.

sorry yes Shaqiri Shaqiri Shaqiri

Unai saying we can't buy anybody unless we get out of the Elliott deal, or do some trading like last year.  Although loans are possible

[eamonn]

Has he done his pre-match presser already ?

[dorsetvillian]

Surely the Elliott  deal would have been sorted in principle before Jan?

[Steve67]

I wonder if Liverpool hold the upper hand in terms of the deal made in the summer and are asking us to pay wages for him until the end of the season or some shit that holds things up.  They wouldn’t want to help us at the moment I wouldn’t have thought.
