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

[Toronto Villa]

I would love us to get Bernardo Silva. Only 31 and one of the smartest players playing today. Not the quick winger we need to get but an intelligent midfielder in the Asensio mould.

Definitely opens up more opportunities now.

Rashford? Asensio?

I saw a poll of Barca fans and the majority did not want to sign Rashford.  I’d consider a loan.

“Barca fans” covers an awful lot of people, many of whom have never been within a thousand miles of the Nou Camp in their lives. I’d not take that as meaning anything.

Real and Barcelona are both pathetic cry-baby twats. The former were booing Mbappe the other day and have started an online petition to get rid of him because he only has 41 goals this season.

It was interesting to hear Micah Richards say* today that he hopes Silva doesn't join another Premier League team. Sounds as if his next club hasn't been decided on yet.

*Not a phrase I use often.

Aston Villa are sounding out several wingers — on the list are Abde Ezzalzouli, Víctor Muñoz & Jesús Rodríguez.

Don't know or care who any of them are. Just happy we're allegedly on the hunt.

Isn't it more about him doing a Darren Bent when out with a minor injury and his team are playing (albeit going out on a yacht and not a Saturday afternoon shopping in the Bullring per Benty)?

I don't know, you can't expect me to read beyond the first paragraph in an article! They're twats, and I've made up my mind.

I want all of them, hopefully it will be buy two get one free. But if I had to place them in order, it would be: 1 Víctor Muñoz, 2 AbdeEzzalzouli, 3 Jesús Rodríguez.

[Neil Hawkes]

The Munoz fella seems to have shielding, tackling, passing, shooting and running attributes similar to SJM, sign him up.

[Garyth]

He does have that head down, arms flailing runnings style.

[LeeS]

Apparently Munoz is faster than Mbappe. We really need some pace so let’s just buy him.

I’m dead excited about the summer now we have top 5 sorted.

[olaftab]

Now is the time to keep our best and sign 3 £50M plus players in their mid 20's to move on upwards. I am sure there is talent out there and closer to home raid Bournemouth and Brentford. 

[brontebilly]

Great to be looking forward to the transfer window with CL football in the bag. Polar opposite of last summer.

[olaftab]

Definitely opens up more opportunities now.

Rashford? Asensio?

No and NO.

[ROBBO]

Do we have any idea how much money is availeable?

Is this the sort of transfer window we can realistically expect now we’ve secured top 5?
