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

[Concrete Tom]

Wouldn't be surprised if Trafford and Marmoush were part of a trade for Rogers. Gets round having to give 15% of whatever we sell him for to Middlesbrough.

There is no such thing as a swap deal so no way to avoid sell on fees.

From a financial point of view, that would be treated as 3x transactions, each with a value attributed. Sell on would be calculated on the value attributed to Rogers.

I'd rather take a punt in Mudryk when he's drug-free. Chelsea can't expect much for him.

I'm guessing this is a joke? He was fucking terrible before his ban.

Probably because he was off his tits!

Newcastle explore Wissa sale, less than 12 months after signing him for £55m.

If we can get him cheap..?

Toon paid well over the odds last summer - they'd cycled through their striker shopping list trying (and failing) to bring in a player, and were desperate for a signing to keep their fans happy when they lost Isaak late on in the window.

Bit of a shit show from their perspective

Not for me.
Turns 30 in September.
Seems injury prone.

Wonder if they need to raise money because of missing out on Champs League/ECL or the Conference?

[Dante Lavelli]

They definitely need to sell this summer, Wissa would not be a priority from their squad imo.  In fact there’s not many I’d want.  We seem to be strong in the same positions and I don’t rate Barnes.  The rest don’t justify the likely fee.
