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

[aev]

We will have Abraham in by the weekend I'm sure of that.

Dani Ceballos anyone?

Yeah, assuming we can pay his wages.

[Matt C]

Liverpool aren’t going to be in any rush to help us and who can blame them. Our most realistic  hope seems to be they drop the mandatory purchase clause and we have to re-integrate Elliott through until the summer. That all still feels unlikely.

I’d imagine Liverpool are looking at our growing injury issues and thinking they’ll wait this out right until the end of the window. See if we blink first.

Get Dougie in on loan if Forest are sending him back. I appreciate the fact that Forest might send him back is somewhat of a red flag.

Does anyone know if the obligation clause can be altered outside of the transfer window? IF it can, then you could imagine Liverpool agreeing it then, otherwise, not so much. The £30m or whatever it is, is chicken feed to them, fucking us over in the hunt for 3rd is worth more.

Sure it can be, one things for sure their is a player at stake here, both clubs have treated him appallingly, he could go on to losing a whole season in his career which he may never recover from, either Liverpool should do the right thing and take him back, play him, or agree new terms with Villa and let Villa play him, its obvious to Liverpool the state we are in, if they are holding out until the last minute of the transfer window to gain some kind of rubbish strategy over Villa, pathetic, he's very highly rated, my mate who is a Liverpool fan said he should never have been sold, really good player, needs to be sorted.

Is there any suggestion that they can, or want to send him back?

I can't help thinking that chasing after someone that wanted to leave and has been shit since leaving may not be the answer.

[TheToffnar]

It's no ones fault but ours.

Yeah the terms for Elliot where shit, but we agreed to them. Whether it's in the best interest of the player or not, Liverpool have every right to tell us to fuck off.

What do you think Liverpool have done here to "treat him appallingly"?

[Des Little]

Our car crash of a summer window is properly biting us on the arse now. It's rabbits and hats time.

[VILLA MOLE]

again it is a deal that everyone accepted and this could have been the potential outcome .  Sadly everyone has suffered on this

My Forest supporting friend seems to think they want to. No idea what his source is. Can't find anything online other than other Forest fans speculating that they might.

The summer was on reflection poor. Lindelof a d Bizot notwithstanding. If that is all we'd done, bizarrely we'd be saying the same thing, despite Gussand, Elliot and Sancho.

I see Bournemouth have just signed a Hungarian international midfield player for £10m. Aged 20. Bet he'll be great.

Id bring him back for sure. But more to replace Barkley really. Id bring back Ramsey too, technically that can be done I think.

Neither help fill the Kamara sized hole in our midfield though, even at their best. Can't even start thinking about McGinn being out for medium/long term.

I like the strikers they have
