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

[Small Rodent]

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)

Nothing will surpass the “Ivo Stas”.

I raise you a Najwan Ghraib?

Was his deal with Spurs really hijacked at the airport?

This years Benni McCarthy chase will be Jonathan Davis.

Could we please not make any jokes involving signing Carlton Palmer. I have only just got over the the times when some thought it a real possibility.

[FatSam]

This years Benni McCarthy chase will be Jonathan Davis.

I don’t follow. Isn’t he the singer from Korn?

[Dave]

Still do a better job than Watkins.

This years Benni McCarthy chase will be Jonathan Davis.

Jonathan David?

According to wiki scored 7 goals in 39 appearances for Juve this season. He didn’t really impress me that much when we played Lille.

[dcdavecollett]

Did very little over the two legs, apart from one save from Emi.

Damn it.

We would have to Fidel the books to make that one happen.

how about the Coutinho "loan then buy after 6 good games to disappear forever"

[rob_bridge]

Selling Pau would be an error. He’s integral to us when we play well.

Agree - Mings will go before him. Konsa and Pau are partnership for next 2 seasons. They are on paper coming into their prime

[eamonn]

Coots did a lot more than Sancho.

[N'ZMAV]

Coots did a lot more than Sancho.

yeah but we haven't signed Sancho

[Beard82]

I think, as seems to be the way, it will be defined by which players we sell.

From that regard:

Will stay because they dont fancy Saudi (too big wages and/or too good for most options):
 - Mings
 - Digne
 - Emi
 - Bailey
 - Watkins

Worth more to us than to others
 - McGinn
 - Cash
 - Matasaan
 - Tammy

Prime Meat
 - Rogers
 - Konsa
 - Youri
 - Kamara
 - Onana
 - Malen

Offcuts
 - Guessard
 - all the rightbacks that arent Cash
 - Emi2

I think well sell the offcusts, Malen and at least 1 other Prime player, most likely Rogers (though Ezri to Liverpool wouldnt surprise me). 

Some of the players may go out on loan (bailey etc)

I think well see probably Dougie come back, 2 new forward options and a couple squad players.
