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.

[Ozzjim]

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.

Seems like half of the Netherlands is related to Winston Bogarde.

Hopefully he won't show up for his medical at BMH until February 3rd.

It's a small, liberal place, you don't know who you're shagging on the dams.

I'd happily take Wilson, think he would be a really smart signing that would be an excellent squad player.

Agreed. He's still only 28, and has 14 goals in the last two seasons (in 47 games).

Good player but he’s in Fulham’s first team most weeks, would we be able to offer the same?

Not sure that's what he'd be looking for in his next move. He's done "bench at a big club", he's now done "important first team player at a mid-range club", I reckon his next move is "earning more money as a squad player at a big club to get some European nights and maybe a medal or two"

We're the sort of club that I expect he'd be looking at to do that. He'd get plenty of opportunity to play for us, even if weren't starting very often.

Incidentally...

It's disgusting how our players are trying to tap up those from smaller clubs.

I don't like us shopping in the munter bin.
