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

[AV82EC]

Konate is absolutely fucking useless. Avoid like the plague.

[PaulWinch again]

He’s not he’s just been playing poorly in the last season. Not a chance we’re signing him in any case, so doesn’t really matter.

[JUAN PABLO]

nor Joe bloody gomez

[Toronto Villa]

If we were forced to sell Morgan I’d love to get Eze who barely gets game time at Arsenal. He was superb in that attacking midfield role for Palace. Mind you, he should never take pens. Not just yesterday but his collection is awful.

Where's Kourtney Hause these days? Miss his heading prowess. Leaves Pow, Mings and Konz for dust with it.

The less said about his driving the better though.

[Dogtanian]

Hause is still without a club. He hasn’t played since he was 26 years old and is 30 now.

If I remember right, he had an issue with both knees, and was at loggerheads over its treatment.

[AV82EC]

I thought he’d decided to progress the DJing?

[Dogtanian]

Seems so, yup.

[SamTheMouse]

I thought he’d decided to progress the DJing?

I wonder what kind of music he plays?

I hear he likes The Animals first thing in the morning.

Mostly Kourtney Heart, Courtney Love, Courtney Pine, Courtney Barnett, Spiritbox...

They paid £15m for him, so £25m is the maximum I would pay, as he counts as homegrown.

I nearly asked about him the other day.  Everyone was really high on him back when we played Bologna earlier in the year, and I hadn't heard anything about him since.

Does that matter all that much?

We only need four, and there's currently Martinez / Cash / Konsa / Maatsen / Watkins / Rogers / Barkley / Abraham / Mings, so while it would be a surprise if all nine of those are in our European squad next year, it's probably not a particularly high priority in a new signing.
