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

Bardell wants Curtis Jones, the silly fugger.

Any chance Liverpool would let us have him on a loan to buy?

Personally, I think he's a better player than people give him credit for.

Probably not after the Elliot saga!

Yeah I agree, he looks much more suited for us than Elliot ever did.

[VILLA MOLE]

I dont think Elliott was mobile enough for our system ,  but then I look at Bailey !?

I agree - I like Jones

Barcelona, who are reluctant to pay the 30m euros to turn Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford's loan move into a permanent deal, are aware Aston Villa are keen on the 28-year-old England international. (Mundo Deportivo - in Spanish)

Defo got his mojo back last 18months. Should have left ManU 3 or 4 years ago.

I'd have him back wages  dependent. An upgrade on Sancho, Bailey, Guessand

Chelsea are not technically out of CL contention yet...

They are out of contention of spending the sort of money that would be needed to buy Rogers though.

They won the World Club Cash Grab last year and would, presumably, be able to spread the cost out over five years. £20 million a year wouldn't be beyond their means.

[Drummond]

It might with the reduced income that no Europe presents. I reckon they must have already spent that pot from last year.

[cdbearsfan]

Our Kid reckons they are more fucked if they qualify for Conference League than if they qualify for nothing but I can't remember why.

[London Villan]

I would assume the wages we've paid for Sancho, Bailey and Guessand this season would cover Rashford's. Add a young understudy or two then we are set for the next 2-3 years.

More games (pressure on resources) but without the financial benefit or the kudos of being in the ECL, I'm guessing.

Probably as UEFA SCR is more restrictive than the Premier League version in terms of percentages allowed. And Chelsea are already on their final warning with UEFA having broken it before.

They're fine for this year, because of that money and this years Champions League run. But just like the summer after we brought in loads of Champions League money and sold players for huge amounts, we still weren't able to go and spend loads of money - because we had to think about the accounts for the year after, when those irregular piles of cash wouldn't be there.

That's Chelsea's immediate future - desperately trying to fill existing holes in their books, which they had completely banked on using Champions League money to do.

Not dropping £100m on Rogers.

[SamTheMouse]

What if they can shift a few of their current players for hefty fees?
