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

[JJ-AV]

Would be happy with Gallagher.

Gallagher can do the McGinn role and CM and offers depth and variety.

I’m surprised but for us to sustain a title challenge we need this level of depth.

During the Arsenal defeat we had players like Garcia, Bogarde, Sancho, Jimoh and Hemmings on the pitch. I like most of them but none of them are ideal to be playing that match - and you compare with Arsenal and they have 8 top outfield players on the bench.

Had we got a point there we’d be 4 points off the top. The next step is more depth.

Being reported on Sky Sports now as regards Gallagher

I think he would be a good signing but all hinges I suspect on Harvey going back

They paid £38m for him and want as close to that as possible

They don't play him. They will sell for less.

What are the rules around loans, is it two foreign and two local?  If so, we can loan Gallagher can't we?

[Clampy]

I said on here a week or so ago that i felt we needed another body in the middle. Not sure about Gallagher. We seem to be linked with him every transfer window though.

[PaulWinch again]

Gallagher is a good player. But where’s he been playing for Athleti? Can’t really see it.

[garyellis]

Didn’t Vinnie say if Onana’s injury was long term then a midfielder was a strong possibility?

[Ian.]

I’m not sure, it’s makes sense in that McGinn will need updating and he can also fill a few roles across midfield well. It just worries me that funds are so tight and we might not then get a forward to replace or compete with Ollie.

[PaulWinch again]

I’m not sure we need competition for Ollie this month really.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I’m not sure we need competition for Ollie this month really.

What happens if he gets injured, is that our season over?

Yeah, what the fuck?!

[Ian.]

I’m not sure we need competition for Ollie this month really.

Why not?

I’m a huge fan of Ollie and I get he’s on a good streak of form, but we’ve got four months left and that could easily dip. He’s also not fully fit, as the rumours go, or by looking at how he moves. Even now while he’s playing better he still doesn’t look as sharp as he can be.

Who else can play in that role? Malen is ace, I rate him a lot, but he’s not that player to stand in for Ollie.

Not sure Mad Joe is quite ready to rip the PL apart.

[Ian.]

Me neither.

No idea of the veracity of it, but the word on the mean streets of Clwyd is that Wrexham have accepted a bid from Villa for Max Cleworth (23yo central defender).

He's not playing tonight, and isn't on the bench. We might have a new ITK maestro.

Again, no claim to having anything other than 3rd/4th hand rumours. But the numbers being bandied about are £15-20m and loaned back to Wrexham for the rest of the season.
