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

Well if all Abraham is interested is money and he'd rather join a team that is losing it's manager and it's star players then he's a joke anyway.

[eamonn]

he is just a big bully 🤔😃

Yes but wasn't it established that we need a bald replacement for Malen?

Is he?

[SamTheMouse]

I'm considering putting in a Bid for him myself, in the hope that someone might attempt to beat me off.

Beaten off by Marinakis? Ewww.

Any port in a storm.

[eamonn]

Just lie back and think of Demis Roussous.

[Matt C]

he was at Arsenal ? vaguely remember the name

Yep, under Emery

[Mister E]

I think barkley and Onana would be fine - we just need them to stay fit for long enough

And there is the dilemma! Which is why we were looking at Gallagher

The revisionism has started.
A big piece on the BBC about how well Man City’s finances are managed and how brilliant they are in the transfer market.

It’s like nothing ever happened.

No questioning as to how their finances are in such a position or mention of court cases that have been dragging on for years. Just they're in a great position and are managing it all fantastically and can buy lots more if they want to. It's pathetic. That Maguire bloke is a right sycophantic cock too, definitely a Sky 6 fan.

Hmmm, I thought that cash fucked up for that one. Rewriting history if Lindy takes any flak for that particular goal.

No, not at all. Yes it was a big fuck up by Cash but watch Lindelof's hesitation in going across to provide any sort of doubt in Cunha's mind. What was needed was a full Mings type intervention.

[PeterWithe]

Hemmings is supposed to be a top talent isn't he? As in, Grealish level prospect?

If that's the case then throw him straight in.

I agree, let’s have a look at him and Bogarde together.

I unfortunately read that too.

On Talksport last night I heard that stoopid Chelsea fan / journalist 'Rory Jennings' (yes I had to look up his name) pontificating about how well Manchester City had spent during this transfer window.

And then he said that Guardiola was the only 'elite' manager in the premier league.

The BBC article noted that they have spent £414 million in the past 12 months!

Elite? If we could have spent half of that we would be winning the league.

and if you mention the charges in the comments they delete it.

[Dante Lavelli]

Guardiola is elite but his skill set and challenge is different to 99% of managers.  His main jobs are to harness massive egos and maintain their performance levels, rather than developing players. 

Not many can do it, look how many managers Man U, Spurs and Chelsea have burnt through, despite spending a tonne.  Real Madrid and Liverpool might join them having just had periods of continuity.

[Chip Butty 111]

Send Guardiola to Sheff Weds with no budget and see how good he is.
