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

[cdward]

Since NSWE have been at Villa, our transfer dealings are typically low key and not splashed all over the various media outlets.

All this talk of Conor Gallagher, Tammy Abraham and Malen feels very public and out of character, and could be a smoke screen for where our real transfer dealings are happening, hopefully.

[TheToffnar]

Agreed, though could just be kidding myself as most of the rumors make little to no sense so far.

[Nii Lamptey]

Gallagher supposedly also interesting Spurz.

Not sure why anyone would choose them over us at the moment.

Footballing wise. Nothing. But being based back in London close to where he grew up and spent most of his life might be the draw for signing for them.

They’re in the Champions League.

Would he not be cup tied after playing for Atletico? Not like Spurz are going to get European football next season!

[Rigadon]

My memory is that the Rashford stuff being rumoured before it happened? Same with Asensio?

Pretty true but we have also had quite a few questionable/poor value signings. Last summer summer being a great example. 2 shite loans and purchase who looks like he's only recently started playing the sport.

Cup-tied in European competitions doesn't exist anymore.

Good point, but apart from that...

Maybe he likes trumpets?

He prefers a rusty trombone.

Or that giant cock.

With players of this profile and agents deliberately leaking info to the likes of Romano on Twitter, it’s difficult to keep this stuff under wraps. I suspect losing Malen and getting Tammy and Gallagher could be attractive, we may well be looking at this.

This is true, but also given how this season is panning out, our transfer dealings are now more 'newsworthy' in a general footballing sense, rather than just of interest to Villa fans, so it doesn't surprise me to see us mentioned more often in the 'transfer gossip' pages.

Gallagher would be mad to go to Spurs over Villa to be fair. So he will probably go there.

He suits Emery very well, not convinced he does Spurs, and who knows who will be managing them in 6 weeks time.

[Des Little]

In football, money overrides everything.  He'll go to whoever will pay him the  most.

[Grande Pablo]

442 via Fichajes in Spain say we’ve bid EUR60m for Ferran Torres.  Allegedly has some legs due to Barca’s cash strapped position.

[ozzjim]

Hasn't he turned us down about 6 times before.

Rumours Luiz heading back to Juve. If Gallagher didn't happen and Bouba is out all season we could do a lot worse than loaning him back for 6 months.
