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

[Rigadon]

Midfielder eh…

[andyh]

Are we going to pick up Tammy Abraham on the way on Thursday ?

[aj2k77]

Kidnap him and leave Guessand behind in a Tammy cosplay disguise.

I think Ollie might be off in the summer and we would get someone else in.

Off where though? He's 30 and still has over two years left on his contract.

Think we and Ollie both missed the boat on a move this time last year when Arsenal were in for him and Duran was flying.

Ollie doesnt have Kane's technical ability obviously but he's never really had many injuries. Think he will stay playing at a decent PL level for another few years yet.

Cant afford to start Ollie during the week.

Turkish press reporting Villa officials heading over there today to make a formal offer. Besiktas reportedly want €20m.

Apparently player has agreed to 4m a year wages, 75k a week.

Not a terrible deal all things considered.

Those figures look pretty reasonable (by PL standards).

We have to sign a midfielder now - not going to be as good as Kamara, obviously, but that’s a massive gap. Onana can help, but he has to stay fit.

The rules won’t allow us to spend the kind of money we would need to spend to get close to replacing Kamara and SJM. 

[rougegorge]

...and Onana staying fit is a big 'if' as well, given his unfortunate track record.

[JJ-AV]

We need to sort the Elliot situation out and get a couple of loans in. CF, winger and a DM ideally.

[VILLA MOLE]

step up young Georgey Boy

Loan from abroad it is then.

Obviously, but let's say we got the lad from Brugge, he'd be around £20-25M but wages shouldn't be huge.

Hoping we can act swiftly and decisively, club will need something positive to lift spirits

If Liverpool are smart they’ll probably leave him with us. We’re rivals for a Champions League spot, we are under real stress, and Elliott being here constrains our ability to address our immediate issues.
