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

I'd look at Rico Lewis and Liam Delap too. Not that I'm advocating for only English players but think Emery could do wonders with Delap and Lewis is tactically smart.

MGW would be great and ideal for the system

Not sure we can afford him. He cost Forest £40m and has a long contract.

MGW could agitate for a move if they stay shit, or worse go down. They will also have amortised a fair chunk of the original fee so the profit at, say £50m, would be pretty chunky.

It’s amazing that their midfield can contain MGW and Anderson yet they’re stuck down near the bottom.

Maybe you're right, PSR is a factor too. He had a release clause of £60m last Summer, which Spurs activated and he opted to stay and sign a new deal.

I suspect the clause was either removed or increased.

Rico Lewis covers loads of positions too.

No idea whether he’s any good though. Pep-ball squeezes all the fun from players.

Ain’t thought much of him since McGinn bested him a couple of years ago…

Pep likes Lewis so I can’t see him being available?

I’d love the ‘orrible Bruno Guimarães, but I see him signing for a top side soon. He’s brilliant and a pain in the back side. For someone so annoying he seems to get some fair luck from the ref. MGW would be a great alternative though.

One attribute we are in massive need of in the summer is pace.

We’ve been saying that since we lost Rashford.

Is Alysson quick? Couldn't really tell from the cameo.

I was thinking Delap could be decent. For various reasons he’s not had much of a look in at Chelsea but he was a real handful at Ipswich, worked hard and was a goal threat. Chelsea will no doubt look to strengthen up front in the summer so I reckon he’d be available.

Not particularly at first glance. Solid first touch for sure.
