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

[PeterWithe]

I suppose one thing possible, and what could be a factor, is that they will still owe us money for the initial transfer.

Maybe I'm alone in not being a fan of this.

If he's being considered as an option to rest Tielemans occasionally then fair enough, but he was a terrible stand in for Kamara. Admittedly he was exhausted at the tail end of that season, but still.

I also would rather we go out and get a DM but maybe Emery is happy to put Lindelof there, especially with Mings back as cover for CB?

[TheToffnar]

Possibly, though I think now's as good a time as any to plough minutes into Bogarde should the need arise.

Dougie coming back would be our most exciting midfield winter signing since the original Morgz, five years ago:

[Toronto Villa]

Love Doug. Bring him back. He will fit right in. But let’s hope this has nothing to do with Youri and more that seamlessly he fits in the Kamara sized hole. We missed out on Gallagher so we clearly wanted an extra midfielder. With Bouba out for the season, SJM out for 6-8 weeks we are very light. And we know Onana could go down any minute, and Ross is made of glass.

[Ozzjim]

If Youri is out for a few weeks too, we are down to Bogarde and Onana. Barkley doesn’t count, guy can’t play football for more than 10 minutes without a knock. Onana is made of biscuits, so we simply have to sign someone. The logic of Doug is sound, knows the prem, knows Unai, knows the “way”. BUT… since leaving his fitness record is similar to Barkley and form similar to Drinkwater, so I fear the player we saw in decline in the last few weeks before he went will be the player coming back.

[ADVILLAFAN]

If Forest buy Mateta, his first League game is likely to be against Palace.

[Goldenballs]

A forest fan I follow put a compilation of Mateta's fails this season. I suspect you could probably do it for most players, but it looked pretty bad. I've never been a fan anyway.

Prey they are out of the Europa. You know he will score against us!

So classy. If he comes back, let’s hope the best coach in the world can rebuild him.

[Drummond]

Quickly.

[Tom_Mc9?]

I love the idea of him coming back and am largely ignoring his apparent decline in favour of nostalgia.

We have onana and Bogarde now so hopefully he’s not needed there.  My worry is this has come about following a knock to Tielemans, the player he is best suited to replace.

[frank black]

If we can get him on loan (but with an option) then fair enough. He’d be an underwhelming signing if permanent
