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

Yes but...he's on his way to 30 and our team is quite old already so do we want more older players?

That’d be my concern. High wages, older is not really in line with where we’re looking. I suppose if we’re getting rid of a few older players it could make sense, but hard to tell without knowing wider strategy.

There will be a big clear out in the summer, I don't think any off the loan players will be here and about six others can join them. It's a worry that none of the reserves are pushing through.

We've got to have a big clear out this summer. Buendia starting every week says everything about where we are right now. Recruitment has been laughable for 3 windows, living off Rogers. I'd say our front line, after Rogers, is bottom 3-5 in the league. No pace, very little guile and not a lot of physicality.

Midfield we're ok but woefully injury prone.

Konsa is stagnant and we should think about cashing in. Cash needs a proper backup. Huge summer. Olabe needs to be good.

Yesterday was our oldest average aged starting line up since 2012.  Wholesale changes are needed this summer.

Problem is we look a yard off it pace wise all over the pitch, Cunha is everything out wide and drifting to ten that Rogers can be, but he's got Bruno, Mbuemo, Sesko and Amad around him. We've got Buendia whining at everything that moves and pretending to be injured, Bailey who's won a competition to play, Watkins who can't even run with a ball anymore and Sancho who looks decent but produces nothing and is slower than Gareth Barry. Our forward options are genuinely pathetic, and the one guy who had pace and could shoot, we fucked off to Roma.
