Summer 26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Smoke]

Anybody else not thinking thank god we didn't pay £35 Million to buy Harvey Elliott? Good lad an all but looking at the cost of Manzambi and Hopefully the lad from Wolves. They're different levels to Elliott.

Summer 25 was so fucking weird...

Yes. And it’s funny how weird Liverpool fans are all bitter about us apparently ruining the guy’s career.

Rory Wilson being linked with HamKam on loan until December.  I'd like to see him go to the Championship so we can have a proper look at him.  Sam Proctor gone to Shrewsbury on loan.  More wages off the books, seems to be some good work going on.

If Juventus really want Martinez, they'd better stump up the cash pretty quickly because he's been brilliant tonight in the WC Final.

In all the stuff and nonsense, I didn't realise that he's out of contract at the end of next season.

Another dirty one from Paredes on Merino unpunished. That type of foul is one thing I do think football should addressed specifically in the laws, leaning into people in mid-air. It's dangerous, cowardly when done deliberately, and is going to get someone hurt.

Martinez has to stay! We've lost too many experienced players already.Vidagany has stated he's not for sale, although they said the same for Rogers!

Quite. It's outlawed in rugby for good reason, deliberate or otherwise, unless it's a fair contest in the air, with a duty of care for players to help each other land safely. Shame that footballers are generally more inclined to fuck each other over in more or less any way they can think of for any advantage. Also, completely wrong thread, apologies.

I’m sure FIFA will look at it retrospectively as it looked awful on tv. Post match bans will be handed out.

As for Martinez, I’m not a betting man but I reckon he’ll agitate for the move to Juventus.

Fairly standard saves and no chance with the goal. Wouldn't say his reputation was enhanced nor diminished.

I've decided we should buy Nico Williams.  Bilbao is a very pleasant city with a super museum, but surely a visit to Solihull and the Black Country Museum will sway him?

Come on Nas, get on the blower. 

[Dave]

Have a peek at his Bilbao contract.

[Sexual Ealing]

Have a peek at Asda Minworth.

Standard they may be, but his positioning and early reactions made it look easy.  11 saves in a wcf and a pretty impeccable display.  I'd say his reputation is enhanced.
