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

[Toronto Villa]

I’d rather keep Malen but it all depends on financial manoeuvrability. I’d happily ditch Guessand before Malen every day of the week. Malen is an odd player as he doesn’t fit winger or striker but he’s been a superb player to bring on late in games. He’s a valuable squad member.

[Garyth]

I don't see any value in letting Donny go. He's scoring a few goals, offers something different and is literally the only forward we have with pace. It would be a mind bogglingly poor decision.

If it was "he's going on loan so we can sign Rashford permanently" then yeah, ok. Otherwise fuck off.

Even then I would be quite sad - he was very professional (publicly anyway) when we chose not to play him in the champions league last season, and it would be nice if he had the chance to play in it (assuming we get there, of course)

[ROBBO]

I know highlights are unreliable but I like the look of Garcia, don't think we could get him though.

BBC’s gossip column (TalkSPORT) saying that deal has hit a snag.  Him scoring a hattrick cannot have helped our negotiations.

[Drummond]

Malen has been ok off the bench but not done much as a starter. I like him but I just don't think Emery thinks he's useful enough. Abraham offers a more traditional centre forward option too, and has the ability to play wider.

Malen, Guessand and Sancho isn't a three that inspires if you want to win a trophy is it.

[eye digress]

Very harsh to lump Malen in with Sancho and Guessand, both of which have something to prove.

[Drummond]

I meant as a three playing together.

🚨 Roma are in talks to sign Donyell Malen on loan.
@DiMarzio
 

No. Tell them there is no road that will take Donyell to Rome.

No but then nor does swapping Malen for Watkins, who has, short of 3 weeks of this season, looked less threatening than Malen all season. If we are letting Don go, then we need to be bringing in better than Watkins. Tammy isn’t close to being that.

Ah! That’s the sort of attack Spurs would have.

[Dante Lavelli]

Selling Malen so we can go big on a player like Aghehowa or Ramos?

[PaulWinch again]

Selling Malen would be stupid. We don’t need to be selling players who are starting to be really effective.

[Olneythelonely]

Another that wants to keep Malen.

No one would be excited that we’re linked with Abraham, if he hadn’t had a good season with us in the Championship. Other than one season since, his goalscoring numbers aren’t very good.

But then I didn’t want Rashford either, so what do I know?

Selling Malen so we can go big on a player like Aghehowa or Ramos?

That’s something I was wondering - maybe the aim is getting Malen’s wages off the books. Maybe it’d give us the headroom to do some Rashford-and-Asensio type shenanigans elsewhere.

Malen and Elliot out, Marmoush and Abraham in?
