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

[Le Lapin]

Youri's ankle twist yesterday does not look good, hopefully not too serious. If he's out then we are very light in midfield. Onana is brilliant, you'd worry that injury is just around the corner for him.

[Flamingo Lane]

He seemed to have a few things going in the past but that was cleared up ?  His main issue now is time keeping isn’t it ?

Sent off playing for his country in the recent AFCON tournament, he looked to be out of control.

We simply have to get a reasonably fit, robust central midfielder in this week. Out wide Bailey and the upturn in Sancho gives us enough probably. Just get a fit, able player in midfield please Villa.

Bissouma always looked overrated to me, much like Philips. I don't see it as a massive surprise that both of them have failed when given a chance at a higher level.

[enigma]

Bissouma was very good at Brighton. Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole now though. Would honestly rather have Loftus Cheek

If Tielemans is out for a few weeks then it's a no brainer for me to bring back Luiz. Far too much to expect Bogarde, Hemmings or Barkley if/when he returns to step up at such a crucial part of the season.

Being linked with a centre back from Berlin on a free in the summer. Apparently cousin of Bogarde.
