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

Not many chuck players into the middle of midfield though.

True, shame though the way it’s gone.

You have to be exceptionally good and the middle of the park is easily the hardest place to do it.

Central midfield and defence are the positions where decision making is the most important - and most costly for errors - thus, more values lies in experience.  Obviously, this creates a vicious cycle, but I don't think it's an accident how slowly Bogarde has been eased into frontline duty.

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

Exactly. His measure of true coaching and managerial capability will never surpass people like Cloughie and Sir Ron and dare I say Unai.

Clough always spent shitloads of money tbf.

Porto had already won the European Cup. They were already giants.

They won in 86-87 with on English teams and the easiest run to the final ever recorded. even in the final Bayern were missing three key players. The tripe eaters got lucky.

Amongst the chaos, we should try and sign Amad off Man U. Decent right winger and also plays wing back.

I reckon Emery would make him decent.

He’s already decent, he’s a very good player.

Like saying the same about us when Dr Jo took over
