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

[Toronto Villa]

If Guessand goes it’s hardly a loss and we will just pocket the money and go with one of the kids is my guess. If Bailey leaves then another must be on the way in.

[Brazilian Villain]

£2m loan fee, minimum, right ?

Yeah, SE has confirmed it'll be sterling.

[KevinGage]

We keep the entire loan fee, is my understanding.

Pretty certain Roma wouldn’t have a numpty sporting director there who agreed to pay his wages for the season - even if the loan is cut short due to injury or whatever.

Unless Faulkner is now plying his trade in the Eternal City.

[Somniloquism]

Lingard anyone?

Lingard is in talks with English and Italian clubs

Having left FC Seoul in December, could the 33-year-old still be of value in the Premier League?

[Toronto Villa]

It’s also mental that along with taking Guessand off our hands Palace just lashed out a massive £50M on that lump from Wolves. Which prices Ollie at £100M and Rogers probably at £250M. Just bananas.

[Sexual Ealing]

That really would be worthy of Rashford-scale meltdowns.

If we're low on ball boys.

No fucking chance. A bigger charlatan you’ll struggle to find.

[Brazilian Villain]

Lingard anyone?

Not even in jest.

[Ian.]

Bloody hell, I've been busy for a few hours and so far we've sold Guessand, signing Sterling, Lingard or maybe Loftus Cheek and City have signed a building brick.

[Crown Hill]

We certainly reach agreement to get rid of players a lot quicker than we do to bring them in!

[rob_bridge]

No Sterling
No Loftus-Cheek

We are not Everton or West Ham or Forest

No Lingard

We are not Wolves('s reserves)

[Rudy Can't Fail]

With buzz kill PSR and all UEFA’s own sinister machinations, it might be a case of the bulk of Malen’s wage going towards Tammy’s arrival and the Guessman’s going towards Doug.

We have Bailey back on the books, too. And he’s one of our top earners.

Might not be a whole pile left to do much more, even if Palace are helping us out.

I think Roma are still paying whatever they were due to pay aren’t they?

I'm pretty sure that's the case. Every penny helps right now.

[Dave]

If Guessand goes to Palace on loan I’d guess we’d bring another loan on from continent, maybe Unai thinks Bailey / Sancho / Alysson are enough to cover right hand side so can use loan option elsewhere in the team?

So, in the current climate of "bringing all the old boys back in", maybe needing to replace Guessand on the right-wing from somewhere, and hopefully replacing the pace that we've lost from Malen going with a loan from abroad...

🚨⚫️🔵 Inter are in talks to sign Moussa Diaby from Al Ittihad.

Surprise deal with talks ongoing, understand it’s a loan with buy option clause around €35m.

Diaby already said yes to Inter, deal depends on Al Ittihad

[Villatillidie25]

I'd take Diaby back at those prices. Imagine swapping Guessand for Diaby and it costing basically nothing (wages aside).
