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

I've got issues with his name before we get to anything else

[Sexual Ealing]

I really hope we're not spending most of whatever we've got on players already on fat Premier League contracts.

If we have £60m, I’d be knocking on Forest’s door and asking about MGW first. 

At Everton, a Bid for Dibbling?  I think I’m his only fan but he looked like an Emery player, starting from the right and drifting in field, whilst at Southampton.  Admittedly he’s done nothing at Everton (or Chelsea), so the emphasis on a Bid.

I’m also a fan of Dibbling but he’s not shining any lights at the moment
Like you say I wouldn’t be against Emery trying to unlock the talent

But we may be in a cast of two on here

Senesi off to Spurs. That’s a shame

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

They said they'd agreed it verbally. One of the biggest reasons we could have done with the bastards going down is because they can still attract players in the same pool even whilst being shit.

See, if only we'd relegated the fuckers!

[VILLA MOLE]

we may never have been after him

[Dante Lavelli]

I’d be cautious as to why he’s completely disappeared at Everton.

Mitigating circumstances: Ndaye and Grealish playing in his positions.  Basically they’re easing him in whilst Grealish takes the glory (justifies his £200k week wages).

Aston Villa to utilise Everton connection to seal £60m deal for Iliman Ndiaye

I like him, but not for £60m.

We probably weren't, but it just shows the pull they have even outside of Champions League football. He wouldn't have guaranteed play time here with Pau in his position.

Probably the going rate, that’s why we shouldn’t be flogging Morgan Rogers for less than £100mil . If we let Rogers go and we signed Ndiaye and MGW , I’d be on board with that. But we’d be adding significant wages, so likely it won’t happen.

Although Grealish has been injured for half a season and Dibling just sat on the bench including in matches which were already well won and subs were being made run down the clock.

Not overly fussed about missing out on a 29 year old that's spent 4 years in the PL and has only been mentioned on here the last 6 months or so.
