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

Looking at his goals this season (stats)
 6 goals and 3 assists more than sancho and bailey combined

Need convincing that his form is long-term consistent. Like with Harry Wilson, see if they can do it year in, year out.

If they're still good at 34, let them have a go at the Villa for a year before they retire.

Asking price will be key they paid 17m for him so i would imagine 30m would be enough. He is only 22 as well which  means his value will hold

Not sure whether that’s supposed to be a positive comparison.

In any case, he has done well of late in Europe it seems. His Serie A returns are very modest. That might be adapting to a new league. But it certainly isn’t, this guy is the nailed on real deal.

He'd probably cost similar to Guessand, I know which I would prefer. As long as there aren't any doubts over him as a person, which when Marseille think you're a wrong 'un is some going.

Oh yeah, it’s coming back to me now, didnt he have a dressing room fight with Rabiot?

[eamonn]

Wouldn't blame him, Rabiot is a preening tosser.

A little over a month ago he had 3 goals and 1 assist from 30 appearances. Yes he's in impressive form in the last 6 matches but that is all it is right now. I'd hoped we were over the period of wanting to sign anyone who had a good game against us.

As I said he reminds me a lot of Bailey in that you can see there's plenty of talent there but there's some concerning signs around his attitude.

[PeterWithesShin]

Emery has always struck me as someone that will impulse buy a player based on one game.

[brontebilly]

I liked it when we signed Hadji. 

I assume you liked it less once he’d played for us.

Was he really that bad? Memory has faded from a generally depressing time watching Villa. Kachoul was awful.
