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

[Sexual Ealing]

Tammy's record in Italy, so most of his last 5 years, in the league, is 29 in 112 games. Not really exciting, is it? I do think it's a bit of rose tinted glasses with how well he did for us in the Championship by some but I guess we need bodies in.

It's completely bizarre, in my arrogant opinion.

It's not a good record but if you add his 30 assists then it is 59 in 112 and looks much better.

Haha!

Not sure what Besitkas has to do with it?

He's on loan to Besiktas from Roma but they've already met the requirement to sign him permanently. So, he will be a Besiktas player this summer unless Villa or someone else come to an agreement with them in the meantime.

Aston Villa's interest in Abraham is correct, but there is no official offer that has reached Beşiktaş yet.

ℹ️ There are claims that Aston Villa are considering an Abraham–Guessand swap.

@firatgunayer

Excellent deal, let's bring Tammy home.

I’m not at all keen on us signing Tammy, but if this is the deal let’s shake on it , NOW!

[trinityoap]

Ratface on loan.

[Somniloquism]

Isn't there rules on how many different owners in a season etc? Especially when all the teams involved play in same season timings.

[cdbearsfan]

You can only play for two teams in a season but there is nothing stopping you signing for more than two. Abraham has only played for Beşiktaş this season.

Abraham’s release clause is 30m eur according to some journo.

[cdbearsfan]

But they've agreed to sell him for far less than that.

What is the rumoured fee ?

[cdbearsfan]

I think someone on here mentioned something around £11 million?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Wouldn't want to sign Tammy now, a loan deal but definitely not permanent. Ideally we could use that 30m towards replacing Watkins in the summer.
As for Guessand, again a loan with a plan to shift him to the Saudis in the summer. They wanted him last summer,  offered a higher transfer fee than we did but Guessand refused and said he was only interested in signing for us. 12 months is a long time in football,  hopefully they're still interested and Guessand will put to bed his PL dreams and cash-in on a Saudi deal. Playing a few months in Turkey will do him no harm.

But they've agreed to sell him for far less than that.

To Besiktas though, when an English team shows interest it’ll be for a bigger fee than was initially agreed, I’d assume.

[cdbearsfan]

Nobody has suggested any issue between Villa/Roma so I don't think so. Assume we pay the fee that Roma and Beşiktaş have agreed and maybe give Beşiktaş a few quid for their trouble.

[VILLA MOLE]

Ratface on loan.

?

[ozzjim]

What the Turkish press seem to be saying is that Besiktas has the obligation to buy, so would buy, then sell to us, but only for 30 million euros. We do that we're utterly insane. Go get younger, more mobile, striker centre forward from somewhere. He's worth 15 max.
