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

[Rotterdam]

If i was a Villa player I'd live in the Cotswolds...perfect if you've got millions to chuck at property and offers a level of privacy. Appreciate it wouldn't appeal to the Grealish types and party boys..

Is there a Wilmslow equivalent in the midlands?

Knowle and Dorridge used to be the Wilmslow - Alderley Edge in the West Mids but don't know if they still are these days

A few lived in and around the K&D region. SJM currently lives in the village, Hause did, Targett did, Alan Hutton, Conor Hourihane plus a few Albion players. Vassell and Little Lee Hendrie also local.

[Somniloquism]

Konsa I could understand having a place in London. Digne less so being as his only two English Clubs have been oop North. I would have assumed he would have still been around Cheshire.

Elliot business likely to go down to the last day?

You mean elite business reserved for the final day, amirite?

[olaftab]

Super coach though , makes everyone better

yes but not £200K a week problem, coach doesn't need to waste time on that.

[eamonn]

I would implore these wealthy young men to avoid the countryside at all costs. NOTHING HAPPENS AND IT IS SHIT.

The city is a woman, bigger than any other

Do the bins get emptied in Knowle?

Death penalty for any Knowle's House Party gags.

Solihull council so yes.

McLeish lived in Dorridge when he was manager.

Brady and Peschisolido family home is nearby

(Not so) honourable mention for ManU gobshite Mark Goldbridge, my mate's next door neighbour in Dorridge.

Defo, we will get the band back together on the last day - Tammy, Ramsey, Luiz and Grealish - and storm to the title.

🚨 Roma are now pushing to close the transfer of Donyell Malen — if all goes well, he’s expected in the city tomorrow.

We need to be letting these fancy London types know that, if they join Villa, they can live in Dorridge where there’s a direct Chiltern Line train to London for only £40 return off-peak, including travel card.

Most of them will be under 31, making them elligible for a 18-25 or 26-30 railcard.  At £35 for 33% off rail fares for 12 months, it's an absolute steal.  Sometimes you can get the 3 year ones that are even better value.  Snag one of those on the day before your 31st birthday and you're golden right the way up to your 34th birthday.

It's also worth them considering at the end of their contract, if you go to the job centre you can get a jobseekers railcard - you have to renew every 3 months, but it's free and has really good terms & conditions.

Edit: Just to put it in context, that'd take down the return train from Dorridge to London right down to £33 including a travelcard, which is an absolute bargain for the frugal premier league footballer.

If we are talking transfers with the Romans, I like their winger Soule.

As said I can understand us wanting the wage space by getting Malen away but surely we can wait until his replacement arrives first?
