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

I also think they’ll come up with some new interpretations of the rules to make the current lineout tactics less viable, so a normal size keeper should be fine.

[cdbearsfan]

They won't be changing any rules that benefit Scab League teams. If Burnley had scored half the goals Arsenal have scored this season, they'd have fast-tracked a rule change by the end of August.

[Dante Lavelli]

Yeah, I thought that whilst typing it.

Maybe the fact that it’s easy to replicate, and cheaply, will result in it becoming less popular with the minted teams. THEN, the laws will change.

I just feel it’s so anti-football - particularly the type that attracts sponsors etc - that it will disappear.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Yeah, I agree. I think there has to be a swing back the other way coming.

[cdbearsfan]

I hope you're right. Nothing wrong with being good at set pieces but there is no reason whatsoever why teams (especially Arsenal) should be allowed to get away with grabbing and pushing opponents from literally every corner. Just give a free kick against them every time and it will soon stop.

Yep. It's been ridiculous.

Referees get a grip.

The previous names we were mentioned for replacing Martinez.

Chevalier supposedly struggling at PSG.

Garcia did an Enkelmen the other day against Atletico.

Chevalier no longer first pick at PSG. The mood music at the club is of the kind that goalkeepers do not recover from easily.

There was a game recently where they were commenting on how bad the PSG keeper was - possibly against the Geordies.  Not sure if it was him though.

[Somniloquism]

It was the Russian backup that they have promoted ahead of Chevalier.

22 games gone and Lens are top of Ligue 1 having just beaten Paris FC 5-0 (oops not PSG).  Who is orchestrating this madness / who should we be looking to sign?

[Somniloquism]

You have (edit:) had mixed up the Paris teams. It was Paris FC who lost 5-0, although PSG lost to Rennes 3-1 the weekend.

[cdbearsfan]

Paris FC and PSG are even closer to each other than Dundee and Dundee United.

[Sexual Ealing]

And they both wear the same colour, the weirdos.

[VancouverLion]

Talking of Parisian football clubs, anyone on here go to the Red Star FC friendly around 89-90?
Pretty sure I was on the coach with a certain Mr. Woodhall.
Anyway, was a cracking weekend!
