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

[Sexual Ealing]

Half watching the Wales game, Wilson is quicker than I remember and could be ideal for us.  Therefore we'll sign him on big money and be utter shite.

Mustapha Hadji just needs a run of games.

He'll be on fire once we've signed his mate Kachloul/Ampadu

And a H&Ver sells him a piano.

We should agree on categories for each type of rumour e.g.
The Carlton Palmer ("please no"),
The Benni McCarthy ("him again?"),
The Gareth Barry ("definitely sold/tapped up" - was Ollie Watkins now Morgan Rogers),
The John Fashanu ("wtf?"),
The Didier Six ("bit random that"),
The David Ginola ("past it, last paycheck"),
The Savo ("interesting, let's see how this turns out...")
The Alpay ("I've been to the World Cup I'm too good for this" - looking at you Amadou)

Don't forget The Unsworth (I thought B6 was in Cheshire) and The Balaban (the video looked good)...

Doh. How could I forget those two spectacular examples?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Seem to recall he and Vlaar looked like a pretty decent partnership for about three games until one, or both of them got injured.

I'd forgotten all about it, but this sounds about right. Stirs something anyway, whereas if you nudged me toward the contributions of Bret Holman I'd laugh.

Scored in a 1-1 draw against QPR I think. I'd forgotten about him   though.

Aston Villa will also move for Rashford if they fail to sign England forward Jadon Sancho, 26, who is on loan from Manchester United but out of contract this summer. (SportsBoom)

- SportsBoom?

Barcelona and Spain left-back Alejandro Balde, 22, is attracting interest from Manchester United, Manchester City and Aston Villa. (Mundo Deportivo - in Spanish)

Sunderland could face a battle to keep on-loan RB Leipzig utility player Lutsharel Geertruida, 25, at the club next term, with Liverpool, Aston Villa, Everton, Tottenham and Crystal Palace all interested in the Netherlands international. (Teamtalk)

A few links. Two sites are definite clickbait places. Not sure on Mundo Deportivo's links but I can't see us beating the other two teams if they are interested.

'The Coutinho' where the selling club halves its asking price and we think we've pulled their pants down, but it turns out to be an expensive mistake.

I'd also be surprised if another expensive young left-back is where we'd be focusing our limited transfer abilities this summer.
