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

Although counter point being RCF did say Amorim was good…only teasing.

I'm looking forward to the Ramos - Kılıçsoy dream team once we save the latter from Cagliari's reserves.

Bitchfest!

It's all about the fit which is why the way we're currently "structured" Ramos would be hand in glove.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm happy to trust RCF's judgement on this.

BTW, do you rate Jaden Umeh as a prospect?

Good man.

Jaden Umeh, the Irish Rafael Leão? Let's just say it's stressful enough following the Villa with an eye on Sporting to see what's going on at those gloryhunters down the road. He's yet to break into the Benfica B side but I will now be keeping an eye out for him.

I'd take Ramos to compete with Watkins for a year, everytime I've seen him he looks decent and his penalty on Saturday was superb.

It's players like him that made me unsure when the links to Tammy started. I like Tammy and he was great for us, but I just don't think he has the all round game to be the single striker for a top half premier league club. Emery obviously disagrees and saw something he thought he could work with so I'm happy to let it play out but if we could get our money back on him and use it to go towards someone younger and more suited to playing on their own I'd go for it, it's the same reason I was ok with Malen going (who I also think is a great player, ironically I think Tammy and Malen would make a superb partnership).

I'd have preferred Panichelli (who I think will be a top striker in a couple of years) but him being out until Christmas means he's going nowhere this summer, if we decide to stick with the strikers for a year he'd be the one to look at next summer for me.

On thge topic of Strasbourg players, if we don't go for Mingueza as the competition for Cash I'd like us to be looking and Guela Doue instead because he's another I suspect will turn out to be pretty special (and maybe he can convince his brother to join us later).

I think Rowe has the talent, I’m more concerned by his attitude. 

Got kicked out of Marseille for being more bonkers than Rabiot.  He raised his game to an exceptional level in his audition for a payday back in the PL (v us), but seems to struggle from week-to-week according to Seria A fans on here.

Being more bonkers than Rabiot, didn’t they have a fight and they were both moved on?

Word on the street is that the fight was blown up out of all proportion to justify the sale of one of the OM stars (Rabiot) in the eyes of the fans. Rowe was collateral damage.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

My outside bet is that Tammy won't be with us by the end of the window.

[VILLA MOLE]

Unai said he was introducing him over a period of time i thought

There’s a chance of that I reckon, which if it is the case is not great use of resources again.

[AGRIPPA]

What happened to the kid we paid £20m from some club in Luxembourg I think???

[Dogtanian]

It depends, really. He was obviously bought as backup and cover for Watkins.

If we hadn’t got Abraham, and Watkins got injured or never recovered his form, we’d all have been moaning we didn’t get another striker.

It’s like buying insurance - it’s always a waste of money till your house burns down.

I think the concept of a back-up striker is fine, but I think Tammy just doesn’t have the game to be back-up to Ollie.

[Dogtanian]

I’m not sure who we were going to get who does, though.

I guess Emery felt Abraham had enough he could work with if needed, he was available, and the price was doable on our budget.

France.

We can't register him because our recruitment guys forgot to read the rules properly.

We can register him in January when he turns 18.

[Keeno]

Soule is like he was made in a lab to be the right side midfielder in Emery’s system. Bring.
