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

Kroupi in the summer please.

Rayan looked like he had talent as well. Why are Bournemouth hoovering up players like that whilst we're signing Guessand? Recruitment is the missing piece of the puzzle at the minute.

It might be that they can promise a quicker "pathway" to the first team than us and their agents feel that will in turn get the player a bigger move within a year or two if they do well.

I can see us playing Bogarde and Onana with Luiz slightly ahead.

My thinking too. I think we've looked most potent when we've had Kamara and Onana in tandem, with Tielemans just ahead orchestrating the movement of front 4. So the formation you suggest would be the best simulation of that.

Big bazooka stuff though, could play a whole match like that? Or is it just an option on 60 mins?
