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

Even Salah doesn’t seem immune to it, consistently very good for years but completely crap this season.

I’d say he is the literally the opposite of an inconsistent winger. He has been the best player in the league for years. He’s just past his best now. That happens

The speed his form has fallen off a cliff is alarming though.  One of the POTY last season, now a waste of a shirt.

I wouldnt mind darwin tbh. Liverpool missing him and nunez. Nunez obviously  out of reach but naybe we can get darwin. Seems in good form as well in saudi arabia

Yes he misses chances but he can be a handful and does score alot too

The quintessential Demetri_C post. He should screenshot it, have it framed and retire… naybe.

Na i couldnt do that to you percey i know you would miss me too  much 😉
Although  i deserve  all these pelters for my silly post. Blame the baileys

One Bailey is more than enough.

I just typed out a lot about Rumpole, we're all glad I deleted it, but thanks for writing (the word) Rumpole.

Bergvall world be a great acquisition but I doubt think we'll be able to get him; there'll be other teams competing for him.
So, who is out there - the new Wharton, Anderson or Bergvall - that we can get?

That’s so true - my wife’s anyones after 2 glasses of the stuff

Anderson isn't gettable, he'll be in Manchester. Wharton was definitely linked to bigger clubs before the season but have no idea if he has managed to kick on at all.

Bergvall is too handsome to play in a struggling side.

He said 'who's the new...' meaning what other unearthed gems are there out there waiting to be picked up.

Don’t worry, Brighton or Bournemouth will find them. Then we will know.

Thx, OCD; I was just about to dive in and clarify!
@LeeS - you're right that Brighton or Bournemouth will find them, and I suppose my point was that we've got to start being much smarter (c.f. Kamara) in recruitment terms. Maybe bringing in Brian and Alysson is an indicator that we are starting ...

Re Bournemouth, I wonder whether we might try for Alex Scott (no, not the female version!), who approximates the way that Anderson / Wharton play.

[Dante Lavelli]

Don’t we need a specialist DCM/6 though?  We have Youri, Doug, Onana and McGinn that can do the 6/8 role.

Mingueza, Senesi, Wilson on frees
Trafford, Bergvall, Nicolas Jackson seem to be the early links that make sense if we qualify for the Champions League. Trafford and Jackson we could probably get on loan with deferred payments.

Martinez, Garcia, Mings, Elliot, Barkley, Sancho to depart
Brings our average age of first team squad down too.

Unfortunately I think there are questions over Martinez, Konsa, Tielemans, Rogers and Watkins future. I hope we can keep them particularly the middle 3 but Konsa and Tielemans' contracts have been dragging on...

[OCD]

I'd add Robertson for about £5m to replace Digne to that list as well.

[AV82EC]

What’s with the hard-on on here for Bergvall? Are we talking about the Spurs midfielder? If so I think he’s shit.
