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

[olaftab]

 Abraham, Bailey and Luiz. This is now seems like all our yesterdays.

[TheToffnar]

What's the situation with the Luiz transfer? I thought there were complications? I hadn't really been paying attention but it's got quite pertinent.

Can't see that there'd be any complications as such. Forest want him out and Juve don't seem overly keen on wanting him to return mid season.

Only issue may be the obligation clauses in the Forest deal. Here's hoping Juve don't play dirty with us knowing we're desperate.

JJ is completely wasted at Newcastle, get him back til May, swap with Elliott and chuck Liverpool a few quid for accommodating it.

The lads that got us this far since Emery came in deserve to be standing on that makeshift pitch podium when Meatball holds aloft the Premier League trophy in May. Dougie, Leon and Jacob be honest, you know where you really want to be.

[achilles]

In the circumstances we find ourselves this is an absolutely no brainer for me, knows the club, manager and roughly the system and on top of that you never lose your ability!

[Walmley_Villa]

The big carrot for the likes of Leon, Dougie and at a stretch Tammy is the World Cup - they won't get another chance

Elliott isn't allowed to play for Newcastle. So they're unlikely to want him.

[manic-road]

JJ seems to be regressing, looked at best ordinary this season and last seasons contribution was one league goal

Time to move on.

Guessand is a big clumsy lump, he'd fit right in at Newcastle

He could wear a disguise.

The last thing we need is another injury prone midfielder right now.

[TheToffnar]

Rules out Dougie then

[Drummond]

Elliot Anderson.
Adam Wharton.

There's no obligation clauses in the Forest deal other than £135k a week.

Good to see Julien Laurens on Sky Sports thinks Luiz signing makes sense so he can come in and play with Tielemans in our midfield.

On the pulse with all things Villa……as usual
