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

[Steve67]

hoping for a few free transfers this summer, we seem to be much better at them and they are slightly less risk.  The fact that this is still largely Deano's side is very telling.  Oh, and now needs some rotation.

[aj2k77]

Last summer was a total bust in improving the team. Thankfully Monchi wont be overseeing it this year and we get to see what the new guy has to offer.

[Demitri_C]

We need a massive revamp this summer. Alot of dead wood needs to be cleared out.  Digne barkley bailey and buendia  being the obvious  ones to start with.

Send elliot and sancho back. Then if need be martinez if a good offer comes in.

This might be unpopular  but for 20m i would sign dougie. I think he has alot more to offer and at that price i think its cheap snd good for us. When the likes of youri mcginn and kamara come back luiz will be a handy option to have . Better than barkley

[Mellin]

I'd sign Luiz at that price if we can get 50m for Onana. If we can't them we have more pressing issues, such as the massive chasm where our attack used to be.

Rumour (from a crap source) that we might be looking at Jackson in the summer.

Unai worked with him at Villareal.

[The Left Side]

It's on the bbc gossip page too

[eamonn]

Christ, I thought  we had shaken links off to that fucker in January.

[enigma]

I realise I'm going massively against the grain here, as no one seems to be a fan of him on here, but I don't think Jackson is a bad player at all. Has a pretty good scoring record for a young, developing striker. Has pace, too.

I like him.

He would be better than this version of watkins who has absolutely  giving us virtually nothing  in the past month

[Dante Lavelli]

The collective output of Elliott, Guessand, and Sancho has been an utter disaster and is starting to be realised through results.

Given our known limitations the utter wasting of the resources we do have is just appalling.

*Glass half full klaxon* next year we can allocate/consolidate their wages into one marquee signing without impacting the books too much. Add maybe Wilson on a free to keep the squad size at the sensible levels.

Are there any youth players also ready for graduation?

[KevinGage]

Unai worked with him at Villareal.

Makes sense.

Worked with Emery before and would offer summat different.

Can see him or Delap being part of any potential deal for Rogers.

I like him.

Me too. Would suit our system perfectly.

Misses a few but we’ve already been conditioned to that so might not attract the attention and pressure it did at Chelsea.

[ChicagoLion]

I don't think we'll have the financial headroom for a move like that.  Theoretically we'd receive about £40m for Watkins and we'd probably another "£20m" to buy a decent replacement. 

I cannot see that sort of shuffle happening in January.

£40mill for Watkins would be brilliant
