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

He's my second favourite Morgan after Sanson.

[Dogtanian]

Captain Morgan?

[cdbearsfan]

He's brilliant. As I have said before, lots of Villa fans have a weird attitude towards skilful players and would be much happier with a bunch of meat and potatoes midfield cloggers than those who actually try to make something happen.

I hope Rogers doesn't read this thread.

Don't worry Morgan, you're my favourite.

Ignore me Morgs, I’m just scared of getting too attached.

[Smirker]

Anthony Hordon to Barca confirmed so for the Rashford fans, maybe we have a chance of getting him now.

Harsh on Onana. If popularity with the home fans counts in the top 5 reasons why a player decides to stay or go Id be surprised. Bit of grief from the stands didn't do likes of McGinn, Cash, Watkins any harm, Petrov back in the day. Character building, Rogers is a resilient sort and the guff didn't day didn't overly bother him afterwards.

[cdbearsfan]

No, your weird attitude to the brilliant Onana has nothing to do with it.

This is very true.

[PeterWithesShin]

We should give all our players stick on opening day. May make men out of them long term.

Anthony Gordon has gone from being chased through the streets of Liverpool by his own fans, to signing for Barcelona. And all with terrible hair.

Fair play to the lad.

I suspect that’s premature. There’s no agreement reported between the clubs is there?

Funny as well given the endless bullshit transfer rumour mill with it's hierarchy of trusted sources that there hasn't been a single mention of this being in the pipeline before now.

Wouldn't be my first time!

It's been Here We Go'd.

If it doesn't happen now, I'll buy a home shirt with Watkins on the back.

[Dave]

If Barcelona sign the gopher from Newcastle, does that mean they're not after Rashford?

It would definitely suggest so.

Given that this has become so public I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it’s a move to pressure Man United into the Rashford deal.

That feels plausible.

I guess the only issue is that there are probably plenty of other clubs who would be more than happy to give Man Utd £25m for Rashford, so they can just shrug their shoulders and sell him elsewhere.
