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

[aj2k77]

He's out for a month and Glasner is going in the Summer. Guessand will be back here.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Just been looking at the expiring contracts on Transfermarkt.

With or without CL, we should be looking to pick up a few of these - we've done very well with free transfers recently (Kamara, Tielemans, Lindelof)

Harry Wilson  - already linked
Marcos Senesi - would be a good replacement if we wanted to cash in on Konsa or Torres.
Julian Brandt - maybe a Rogers alternative/replacement if we cash in
Oscar Mingueza - previously linked, good alternative/back up for Cash and RCB.
Ryan Sessegnon - still young LB, could replace Digne
Rico Henry - older LB, could replace Digne
Yves Bissouma - was good a few years ago, and we'll need cover for Kamara's inevitable season-ending injury next January.

There's also Sancho, but I don't think he's done enough for us to be paying him £150k-£200k a week.

Bissouma is a knob, steer clear of him.

Bernado Silva, 31, up for grabs as well on a free in June 2026. Big wages though.

Hopefully our transfer department has a bit more imagination and a wider scope.

Bernado Silva, 31, up for grabs as well on a free in June 2026. Big wages though.

If he was going to stay in England, he'd renew with Man City.

I think he wants to go to Spain.

Well the media is speculating that we'll have to sell even if we're in the CL, suggesting we don't have a lot of scope.  I doubt we're going to be spending £100m+ without selling Rogers.

Free transfers like Senesi, Mingueza and Wilson are cheap(er) ways of getting good quality players to strengthen the squad for a CL campaign. 

I'm not suggesting that's all we do, but it leaves our budget for the likely big ticket transfers - like a replacement keeper, a striker and a winger.

Hopefully Guessand will hit the ground running in August having had a year to acclimatise to English turf.

I miss Footy's free agents lists, where he would suggest us going for a load of old duffers, some mono legged.

Also the occasional dead person.

I had no idea Footy went to indie clubs in the 90s.

I’m probably alone in this but I’ve always thought he was vastly overrated. Decent enough but not as special as many think. Maybe it’s a Silva thing as I thought the same about David Silva.

Must admit I’m with you on Bernardo Silva but David Silva was a lovely player and much superior.
