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

Back to Tammy, the president of Besiktas has said "“There are no other players offered. If that comes, we will sit down and think about it. There is no player in the offer we received. There are players that the technical staff want from Aston Villa. We conveyed it to them.” My guess is Watkins, Buendia and Morgan Rogers. We'd still have to convince Guessand to go there should we throw his name forward or he may have refused which would explain the quote above.

Despite warming to the option of Tammy joining us, he's far technically skilled than I thought (though that may has been before his injury), he does play for the team, happy whoever scores and his experience in Italy was not wasted, it does seem a tough deal for us to make or at least an expensive one. Having to pay both clubs seems ridiculous. Besiktas have us over a barrel as we're paying them not to activate the right to buy clause and they want paying handsomely.

Just out of interest , and i admit i don't know how the loan agreement works but couldn't Abraham just turn down the move to Besiktas ?

He's already met the requirements for him to sign permanently

So hes already agreed to join them ?

[PeterWithesShin]

He agreed to join them when he agreed to the terms of the loan.

Thanks i wasn't 100% certain..

So is Tammy coming or not?

In the words of Jimmy Rabbitt, "I'm fucked if I know, Terry".

[Nii Lamptey]

We're in catch 22 really.....
Loan/sell Malen to guarantee income before spending a shitload on Tammy, but on the flipside, this means we're now even more desperate to get his replacement in, so both Roma and Besiktas can pull our pants down over Tammy.

Fuck PSR.

Dealing with a Turkish club then you have to have a plan B because their window dates are generally massively out of sync & the goalposts move so much

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

I reckon he would do okay. 

I wish a top manger would do something like this.  Take mourinho, he’s run out of big clubs to manage.  He should pluck a club in a nice city and see how far he can take them.  He could even bring along Disney (or whoever) to make a documentary and bump his salary.

Maradona to Napoli, at a player level, took them up a few notches almost single handed.

[PaulWinch again]

Anyone proposed to us - no thanks.

[Dante Lavelli]

Isn’t that Nesyri quite good / been around at a good level for a while?

@MatteMoretto

It's just a ploy to unsettle him before the Europa League game. We're taking a leaf out the Yanited playbook.

@sachatavolieri

On the plus side, his full name is Raphael Onyedika Nwadike, so we can call him RON.

On the downside, he's a MON. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Niger

I don’t know anything about these 2 , forgive my ignorance and good looks

Decent as Seville, thought he was older than he is then realised I was getting him confused with the Iranian bloke Taremi.

Similar to Elliott, if he's not happy becoming a Villa player after ten matches, he says so before all those contracts are signed, not after the ten games have happened.

Same with Abraham at Besiktas.
