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

[PaulWinch again]

I’ve said it before, there are a few things that need improvement and you can always improve your squad - but the attribute we noticeably, and badly, lack is pace. It really limits our ability to change things up.

Wilson- meh! Wasn't impressed with him at all.

Absolute dog shit I thought.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

You have players who never let you down and always deliver goals etc. The absolute elite. They rarely move clubs, but would go for £150m to £200m now, if at their peak. Rogers is in the next bracket down.

I’m probably coming across as anti Rogers, which really isn’t the case as he’s obviously one of out key players, but if you’re taking Mbappe, Harlaand, Yamal, Vinicius as the pinnacle, I don’t think he is in the next bracket down. He’s unplayable on occasions but he needs to do it much more.

It’s difficult judging players in different positions but would Bellingham be in the next bracket down?

The players we sign this summer need to have bottle. They want to have the guts to dig in at games, get stuck into the opposition and put them on their back foot. How many times have we seen us get into good positions in cup or league and then throw it all away because we are scared of the opposition. They need to roar at their own players if not doing it to their extremes, to need to put 100% into every game.

Nah, he’s ok, but not good enough for us.

I think replacing Rogers with MGW + £40m would be about right for us, if we could do it.

That's the game these days and would give us some room to start reducing some of the older players. I am mindful it takes players time to become established team members and mindful of McGinn, Youri, Mings, Digne, Cash, Watkins and Martinez all leaving the team around the same period.

We do need a couple of sub 25 year olds to replace them over the next 1-3 years. Doesn't to all be in one go.

Wilson and Mingueza on frees hopefully.

We need to explot the loan market and CL should hopefully do that. Who knows who could be available... Rashford, Nic Jackson, Marmoush... Maybe even Gallagher might be available on loan.

[trinityoap]

Be quite nice to have two nasty bastards who hated losing. sometimes we just seem too nice.

[DC1874]

Marmoush, no thanks
