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

[aev]

I guess getting Asensio, Malen, Rashford and Disasi is the thing that contributed to us getting fined and put under the transfer "embargo" by UEFA?

[Drummond]

Elliott we should do all we can to either send him back or enable him to play.

Sancho isn't doing anything of note.

Guessand had some potential, but we need something now.

We need a;

Striker, Abraham perhaps.
Winger; someone with pace, please!
Winger; someone who can a) keep the ball & b) do something with the ball.

When you look at that 10 players, the fact only 1 is actually contributing this season is quite scary.

Two. Bizot's contributed this season as much as Lindelof has.

Agreed.

[dorsetvillian]

Blues can spend more than us this January. It just doesn't make sense...

[dorsetvillian]

Reports indicate that Garcia has gone on loan to Elche with an option to buy.

[kippaxvilla2]

Don’t worry konsa can cover that position perfectly fine.

[Somniloquism]

That is three down on our Euro squad. Will we be replacing any of them?

[VILLA MOLE]

if Carlsbergs did Mondays and not shit beers 🤔😃

[algy]

Basically this is the jist:

Malen - Gone
Asensio - loan - didn’t buy
Rashford - loan - didn’t buy -
Sancho - poor
Guessand - poor (being kind)
Elliot - disaster - who? is he at Villa? Would surely have been a good option yesterday? Emery obviously not a fan
Lindelof - backup - best of the summer ones!
Bizot - backup
Alysson - 18, Brazilian - future - not seen yet
Madjo - future - not seen yet -

When you look at that 10 players, the fact only 1 is actually contributing this season is quite scary. Rashford did well but got injured and cost a lot of money for a short period. Overall we need 3-4 hits in the market that actually contribute to the side, sharpish.

Harsh on Bizot there ...

Reports indicate that Garcia has gone on loan to Elche with an option to buy.

If he has gone is this looking like a clear out of our choosing, or do the financials not look good?

I think Vinnie said the PSR part was not the issue.  SCR appears to be killing us.  I still don’t quite get it though.

[ozzjim]

I really don't get how, after shedding so many players and so much in wages, having increased income massively, not spending big on players etc, we are still hitting the PSR limits.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Reports indicate that Garcia has gone on loan to Elche with an option to buy.

Not that he’s been getting much of a look in through injury and Cash’ great form but that seems a bit silly. Diminishing the squad further and it’s another position that we’ll need to get a replacement in for.

I think Vinnie said the PSR part was not the issue.  SCR appears to be killing us.  I still don’t quite get it though.

I’m sure we can’t get near the 70% wages to revenue that SCR needs if we were flirting around the PSR 90% previously.

The UEFA fine and subsequent restrictions are the issue.
