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

I'm fairly sure the deal with anderlecht is now an obligation to buy

So is Abraham's deal with Besiktas!

But that's why we're haggling with Besiktas, not Roma. So the same logic would have them haggling with Anderlecht, not us.

No it wouldn't. And that's my last word on the subject. Move on, God's sake. We're all correct in a way anyway.

I read a piece about Ozcan the other day from one of their fans saying he's looked good when he's played but their coach only players their permanent players and there's no interest in giving him the games it takes to make it a permanent deal. Very much a Harvey Elliott type situation.

[Matt C]

He’s been playing for Anderlect’s reserves/B team I think I read. Some suggestions it’s £18m + Ozcan for Tammy.

That would be a great deal for them.

[eye digress]

Ozcan is caught up in a bit of a political struggle at Anderlecht, I think.

[PaulWinch again]

Ozcan was such a weird signing.

[kippaxvilla2]

The only appearance he has made at Villa Park is sat in the Trinity Road with a baseball cap on.

[Tuscans]

🚨🟣🔵 Tammy Abraham to Aston Villa, here we go! Verbal agreement in principle with Besiktas after personal terms done days ago.

€21m plus add-ons, Yasin Özcan will be also included as part of the agreement.

#AVFC in Turkey now with their directors to formally seal the deal.

[Mister E]

So, we paid €7m for Ozcan 12 months' ago: I'm guessing his book value is around €5.5m which values Tammy at around €15.5m. Not bad for an established 28-yr old striker.

Maybe that's why it's taken a while?  There's 4 parties involved - us, Besiktas, Roma, and Anderlecht - and the whole thing possibly involves us taking Bailey back off Roma too.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Ozcan was such a weird signing.

Signing him made sense, what we did thereafter was weird.

I hope the €21m we're paying includes Ozcan rather than €21m plus Ozcan.

[VILLA MOLE]

He was a stock pile signing to use for such an occasion I guess

A lot of these youngsters are treated like Panini cards, and just traded when necessary.
