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

[ozzjim]

Is there any hope of Emery and Elliot agreeing to put the past behind them? He starts on Thursday if so. His treatment just seems self defeating really and I thought that before McGinn's injury.

Surely a pragmatic solution is to buy the clause out to optional and use the player. It's a total shambles if he sits out another 16 games while we need forward options.
This is purely and simply down to Emery not wanting, or us not being able, to pay the price that was agreed for him. They've not fallen out etc.

[Ian.]

Am I missing anything, but couldn't we played him and have triggered this £30M clause and then tried to improve him then sell him on at a profit anyway?

Unless of course, Emery just doesn't see the potential in the player.

[Rigadon]

He very clearly can’t see potential. That much is obvious.

And if you are Liverpool it probably doesn’t make sense to agree to a clause change or a return of Elliott…when the loan was agreed they wouldn’t have seen us as a rival but we are the direct target for them now so why would they agree to termination or changing the clause…it suits them that we are hamstrung by having him as we can’t get another domestic loan in.  And with the way they are allowed to splash the cash getting 35m from us or 20m from someone else in the summer is no skin off their nose.  Pretty sure they won’t give a toss about the players preferences either.  Can see a scenario where we get to the day after the window shuts here he goes on loan to MLS….that way he gets football but we aren’t able to use that loan slot up.  Ball is definitely not in our court on this one.

As desperate as it sounds I would get Bailey back!

[ADVILLAFAN]

Yeah, I liked their South American CB too. Was from somewhere like Ecuador.

Ordonez? He looked absolute quality when we played them….surprised he didn’t move upwards in the summer

That's the fella, yes.

[TheToffnar]

Depressingly quiet out there today. Appreciate that we're not rushing into anything daft, but I'd have expected a little more noise about a deal for Tammy at the very least, even with the complications.

[cdbearsfan]

Not sure what the delay is. Phone his agent, ask if he wants to sign and whether he would accept the wages we are offering. If he says no, move on to next target. We cannot be pissing about last day of the transfer window signing cast-offs again.

[TheToffnar]

Perhaps some complications with regards the loan with option agreement from Roma? Praying it's got nothing to do with the 2-3 other clubs who've registered interest since last week...

Not panicking just yet, Abraham accords can be a tricky business.

[Beard82]

could it be that there priorities have chanegd with McGinn potentially out too

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I don't think there'd be problems on the Roma side, they hold his registration but are obliged to sell to Besiktas for €11m. Besiktas however want, either Guessand on an 18 month loan and/or €18m - if reports in Turkey are to be believed. We've told them the Guessand loan is too long. No mention of money.

Exactly, it must be done by the book and I am going to keep taking the tablets.

18 months is fine, we will just have to suffer Evann's absence.

[KRS]

This love triangle with Basiktas and Roma isn’t a healthy relationship. If Guessand is the stumbling block to get Tammy in now that we’ve let Malen go then it makes our summer transfer business look even worse than how astronomically shite we already know it was.
